Sorry. I won't update you on any situation in the future. You are exaggerating hugely on the wides anyway. The main thing with higher difficulty is you have to do more of the foot movement yourself.

Forget everything you know about cricket games. This is completely different and is best suited to behind the batsmen. You need to try out all the camera angles anyway, as broadcast is in the game but more of a viewing cam #EarlySeptemberer

Because past cricket games were such a winning formula?

Ross, will the leg spinner be more threatening in the full release?

Just counted 50 deliveries on legend with a very poor batsmen, 6 were test match wides, 39 were so wide that they could be comfortably left, 3 were miles down the leg side and only two required a defense.

This is leg spin over the wicket. The stock ball should really pitch in line with middle and leg and move away from the right hander.

Otherwise fantastic demo of What is shaping up to be a great game.

Not sure if there is much AI in the bowling. I think it is just fairly random, and judging by all the wides the randomness needs to be tweaked a bit.

I'm guessing playing spin will turn out to be a very different prospect during matches, when you're actually trying to score and leggers presumably must have well disguised top spinners / googlies / flippers to bowl at you.

Okay now we're just making up scary stories. I tried same leg spin and although some were wide but about 70%-75% were playable. Maybe you should try different cameras and find ways to play those "3 miles down leg side" and "39 were so wide" deliveries.

you can't use that hash tag (when were they started here, and whose idea was it so I can shun them?) when its you who apparently can't "deal with it"

I'm not saying they were unplayable I'm saying I could have left my PC, made coffee and come back whilst the machine was still chucking crap deliveries outside off without losing a wicket.

My question is whether that is a quirk of nets play or a problem with AI.

I do not think asking whether the leggie bowls a half decent line in the final game is unreasonable.

1. That sounds like you were saying they were unplayable.
2. I didnt say you said they werent playable i said you must stop exaggerating crap and maybe count 100 balls and see if 12 were test match wides, 78 were wide, 6 were down leg side and 4 were playable.

Good day sir

Against leg spin, I find that, out of 60, 1 would be a test match wide, 8 would be one day wides, 10-15 were hitting the stumps, and the rest were probing outside off. Just like real life.

Extrapolating the "AI" of a bowling machine to the discern something about the AI in the game is a bridge too far.

Run rate, wickets, field settings, pitch, weather, etc etc none of those variables are known in the Nets. Indeed you "tell" it what to bowl.
