0.99b required a full install and not just an update (you can't just jump from 0.99a to 0.99c using an update, use the full download)

Someone please check it immediately.

Of all the teams, these are the only unique stadiums set in the greyed out segment. I really hope there's more than this in the game.

Lancashire Stadium
Sussex Oval
Durban Fields
Colombo Park Oval
Trinidad Cricket Ground
Delhi Park
West Oval
Wellington Park
Lahore Cricket Club
Adelaide Gardens
Melbourne Stadium

So i guess this fixes everything? If not i would like to use that as an excuse for being too lazy to create players.

Is there any plans to have the differing type of balls used, so you could use the right type of balls for that era,( Victorian ball, 30s, 40s) and so on??

I don't know if that would alter the physics at all as maybe the swing/bounce was different?

i have asked before if they'd have different ball manufacturers and if they would perform differently (e.g. the way Dukes, Reader and Kookaburra behave differently) but it's not been answered; though there are different "ball company" choices in CA (currently only 2, Big Ant or Bradman Musuem) but there's been no word on whether they behave differently.

i also think being able to play on uncovered pitches, to replicate older eras, would be awesome - would affect pitch deterioration significantly. but there's no CA option for that, unfortunately. maybe later.

it seems to have fixed the obvious problems in v0.99b

 

[Ajh1977]

I think the only issue with the uncovered pitches/older balls thing is although we like to have things as realistic as possible, how many people who remember uncovered pitches will by this game? For us how would we kno how they played, and is there much footage/facts to warrant doin it realistically? Nice idea though, haven't even played the game and we're already contributing to a sequel!!!!

So wrist spin is leg spin & finger spin is off spin? Am I correct?

 

[blockerdave]

So wrist spin is leg spin & finger spin is off spin? Am I correct?

for right handers yes.

left arm wrist spin is "chinaman" and moves like an off break, and left arm finger spin (slow left arm/left arm orthodox) moves like a leg break.

 

[SpitfiresKent]

So for example, for this particular player: Sean Williams | Zimbabwe Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

In the CA he would come under 'Left Arm Finger Spin'?

 

[blockerdave]

yes, that's correct. (and his stock ball, in terms of the game, is leg break)

Ross, there's no delicate way to put this - the original creator issue is not solved. i was looking at my uploads and saw some given to me that i had no part in whatsoever - just downloaded them and added them to my team. (and submitted the team.) i don't even think i skilled (some of) them or changed their sponsors/kit etc.

also, i saw my george headley given to someone else. (as in gave them as submitted by and original creator.)
