Well the general advice from players here is to defend to the legside. I find this seems to assist against spin, though I'm less sure vs pace.
in real life the best strategy against spinners is dance down and play a grond shot..

here AI cuts n pull Vs human cuts n pull@grkrama : Add Pull ,leg glance and Pull shots videos as well...Will explain the problem very well....
@HBK619 @BigAntStudios On the whole all non trigger shots need fixing and tweaking from drives, cuts and pull.
You guys need to fix it in terms of how the shots play in real life instead of trying to make it more friendly to score, cause scoring we can do even now but its getting the feel of the shots like real shots that will really enhance the game a lot.
Not just me then - I find defensive shots harder to play than attacking shots so basically don't use them which cannot be right
I recall Ross stating they didn't want defensive shots to be too easy to avoid you easily playing out for draws in tests/first class games etc but the balance isn't quite right for me at least.
Im on PC, the video is edited to reduce size, so it may look like its stuttering at frames.What system are you on ?
ok will try that.@grkrama, pretty good videos but would be great if you can post a couple of videos showing human/user getting caught by playing hook/pull & cut shots.
We can do a bit of a test on this if some people here are willing to spend a few career mode innings playing nothing but defensive shots to see how long they can hold out for.

My career batsman is on pro now so cant test with him.
Did try a blockathon on veteran with IND Vs WI
and i can say i can hold it out.

The key to blocking, is CallyT gave me this tip, shot direction at 11-12
It works really well, the other thing is you can afford to play a bit late for defensive shots, as long as footwork is correct it should good.
was bored by this itself,but i have effectively used blocking many times.The real question is if you can last out the match.
I think our best hope for getting these things fixed is if a lot of effort is put into the next gen release, and those improvements (at least the non-graphical ones) make it to the current platforms.
