Similar to racing games/sims that allow you to rewind to a certain point, having the ability to replay from the beginning of the over (or last autosave) when you play a stupid shot would improve the learning curve and enjoyment for batsman only players in career mode. I was able to do this manually by forcing quit when I got out and then reloading the game to continue batting.
Some may consider this cheating, but when you only play career mode, and continuously get out for a low score, how do you expect to get better at batting? The nets are next to pointless because there are no fielders to catch you out, and given the number of bugs/acrobatic fielding, it would relieve some of the frustration of being caught by the wicket keeper at gully against a spinner, or even a stupid run out after posing for 5 seconds after playing a shot.
I would suggest tying this in with the batting difficulty so you get 3 replays on easy, 2 on medium, 1 on hard and none on world class, etc. It can then be turned on or off on custom.
Anyone that sees it as cheating can refrain from using and it obviously wouldn't apply to online game or where you control the whole team, I'm talking only about player controlled career.
Thoughts?
