what factors do you find make the batting harder?

I tried to make V2.0 harder cos i played a 50 ODI match yesterday (using V1.0) and thought it was a little too easy, so i "tweaked" it a bit.

The batting is little harder but feels better than before as now backfoot shots are also going for 4s.Cool.Still pull shot looks difficult otherwise game is playing now nicely.Good work and I hope you will continue your smart work.Can you little bit increase advnce shot power so if properly time sometimes it goes for boundry or it is so because I have not checked it out.

I know it's really hard to time the advance shot and i almost always miss it and the computer never misses it!

 

[Eddie]

Ok , guys, here's something a little bit different:

1. I am sick of the CPU playing the Off & On-drives to every ball.

2. I don't like the CPU's inability to play full & yorker length balls.

3. I don't like how when u bowl round the wicket at a right handers leg stump he plays the Off or On-drive and is bowled.

4. I don't like how the CPU doesn't play thru the leg-side.

Right , in order to overcome this i have release "Eddie_v3.0" patch. This has no new features from v2.0 except for trying to overcome the "bugs" (1->4) listed above.

I hope you will play this on Tests and ODI's and see if i have improved things.

Hopefully this patch will, improve the CPU's ability to play full length balls (without getting bowled), and free up their play into the legside.

Anyone tried V3.0?

Not yet Eddie, I'm halfway through a Test match atm so I'm going to finish that first, then I'll give them a go in an odi.
Btw, did you find and identify any more field settings during your forays through the gob file, maybe some Test ones?
Keep up the good work mate :cool:

 

[f0bstyle]

Eddie, I can't get your fields to work

 

[Eddie]

Eddie, I can't get your fields to work

not sure what to say, they work for me fine..

anyone else having problems with the fields?

how have u installed them? in the root directory? maybe they have to be put into the GOB (lwhich i have done on my PC)

 

[f0bstyle]

yeah, i just put them in the root directory. I'll try putting them in the gob. they have to be compressed right?

 

[Eddie]

they have to be compressed right?

yeap

 

[Mahesh Babu]

Yeap, its kinda on-going work..

To make real progress I think we need to do the following:

1. Change all the default fields (work in progress)

2. Slow those d@mn fielders down (do-able once a player editor is made)

3. Change where the CPU bowls (IE: less yorkers and more outside off-stump).


1 & 2 are do-able in the near future, unfortunately 3 isn't (yet), and thats the worst thing which needs fixing.

Anyone thought of writing to EA Sport and asking them how to edit the bowling? Sounds silly, but you never know..

Thats 100% spot on

eddies patch v3

Anyone tried V3.0?

tried your patch eddie but only on bowling in a test match and for some reason the wicketkeeper as started to let a lot of short pitched balls by him for 4 byes.i am playing at trent bridge on a normal wicket on a cool overcast day

Eddie after playing with your patch,I have witnessed that now many backfoot strokes are working.I have noticed that ondrive front foot six hit shot is too strong and with good batsman every shot is going for boundary and worse thing is that cpu even donot place fielder there so making it tighten will really enhance gameplay.Besides, can you increase the power of advance down 4 hit or rolling shot as it carries no power so it will be really enjoyable while keeping 6,s hit shots hard.I hope you will work on that .

Indeed nice patch and I expect that with the passage of time it will be improved a lot.Bit more swing or seam in green wicket will be great.

All your patches are nice eddie but can you provide me with 1.0v of your patch as it is a bit easy and I really loved that. Please i need only 1.0v and i am sure you will provide me that
