BOWLING


CRICKET 19 Improvements

• Line and length are the two things that should now be effected with bowler timing meter instead of jump and release. The first timing meter trigger if you are early it will effect the bowling length and make the ball shorter then intended and if late the ball will be fuller then intended. If early on second trigger it will effect bowling line of this ball if triggered early the bowl will be more leg side then intended and if late bowl will be more offside then intended. This change is because currently it’s way to easy to bowl the bowl exactly in the spot you want without much skill. For this to work the bowling meter needs to change so the perfect timing is more in the middle instead of towards the top allowing for the same opportunity to be late as early with the trigger.

• The combination of accuracy of the line and length triggers will also give the delivered bowl a reading like a batsman shot. Reading of excellent, good , ok , poor , very poor. Higher the reading better chance of false shots from batsman lower the reading no bowls and poor deliveries will happen.

• Speed is now controlled tapping L1 to decrease pace R1 to increase pace before starting the run up but can be changed while bowling meter is running ( 5 speed settings slowest Ball , Slower ball , average , fast , very fast ) Bowlers Fatigue will effect pace as well as players confidence. The quicker the pace will also effect the bowler timing metre

• Bowler Timing meter starts with selecting delivery type And choosing delivery length same as now with full , short , good and Yorker with the same buttons. slighty shorter or fuller from these set length will still be decided with holding L1 and L2 while pressing the delivery length you are looking to bowl.

• You can press any button for the first trigger ( length ) but for the second trigger ( line ) Pressing X to stop the trigger will be a normal effort delivery - pressing O will trigger a higher effort delivery. But the new part will be pressing triangle or square will change the type of bowl you are trying to bowl to a special bowl that will be pre determined for each bowler but can be changed in the quick tactics menu. For each bowler

Options for this can include changing the type of bowl for pace bowlers to


-slower ball (doesn’t change the length but changes the speed) ,

-Wide Yorker ( changes line and length to wide outside off but timing needs to be good or higher to avoide a wide)

-follow the batsmen ( doesn’t change length but bowls at batsman’s body this is handy if you see the batsman coming down the pitch)

-bouncer

-Yorker.


For spin bowlers often they do not change the delivery type decision late while bowling a bowl but they change the length of the bowl so the special bowl button from the will see the option to ball fuller or shorter this is very handy if the see the batsman advancing down the pitch

• Spinning the right analog stick with the bowling meter is going will increase the revs on the ball making it spin more stays the same. This to also be used for off cutter and leg cutter deliveries

• More variety in bowling action types particularly more accurate representation of star players that have unique actions eg Bumrah for India

• Fatigue for bowlers I felt was a very good representation of how a game is played so doesn’t need much change but maybe more variety in injury types.

• when you change the crease approach Left or right ( over or around the wicket ) an indicator pops up to show you how wide of the crease you are for those who use a closer bowling camera and can’t see how wide of the crease they are bowling at because the bowler isn’t visible until he reaches the crease.

• more wicket appeal and celebration animations including being frustrated

• Bowling an effort ball on the highest speed setting for a pace bowler and the bowler meter timer ends up being very poor the bowler will slip over after bowling the ball
