Alright,
So I was able to play some ROOKIE career mode, passing the controller around with a dude whom I forget the name of.
Started off with bowling, from the start I bowled good line and length, just straight deliveries outside of stump and was able to get a thin edge in my first over, but in true Don Bradman Fashion I forgot to appeal! spewing!
It's good to mention at the start of the career you'll be playing in mostly empty stadiums, and if you start in a created small ground I was told there will be only a handful of fans scattered around the empty stadium looked great!
Swinging deliveries didn't really move much if at all, so you'll have to spend our skill points to improve your player. You'll receive skill points as if it is a salary after games, and of course your salary will increase the better and further you go in your career.
I only played like two career games so I didn't get to see any of the many dynamic elements such as players getting selected or cut from teams. But I was told that career mode is much more in depth and will include major tournaments such as the world cup... er I mean THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.
Selection status has been built upon as well, for example if you remember in 14 it showed you if you had a chance of getting in your international ODI team, now it will show you your chances of getting picked for a particular ODI tour, not just the International team as a whole.
You can now change the appearance of your player during your career.
Some other gameplay moments.
Witnessed an attempted cover drive, get edged thick and go for 4 square of the wicket was very cool.
Cover drive does work by the way! I was started to get worried because it doesn't work in the academy, but I can confirm the covers are open for business.
Spin bowling feels even better bowling with a batter there, was able to beat the batter with some nice leggies pitching on middle stump and beating the batter attempting to drive.
Fielding (PS4 controller)
When you have the ball the square button will throw to another fielder but be careful, if you are facing the wrong way you can and will throw it to an outfield played.
I was able to pull of a nice bit of fielding in the outfield I had fielded the ball in the outfield, close to the boundary, I was able to flick the ball to another player that had also followed the ball by pressing square. I f hadn't done that I would've gone over the boundary with the ball.
Triangle will tap the ball back, saw some good teamwork happening, the AI is smart enough to follow the ball with you as well so they will be there if you decide to tap it back.
I forget how throwing to the stumps works but I believe twistie covers it in his first video.
That's all I remember for now, will chime in if I remember anything else.
