Glitches in Cricket 2004

[Dalmiya]

A few that I have noted so far after playing 4-5 incomplete games --

1. I was playing an ODI on a green track. Zaheer bowling just short of length managed to induce and edge of a left hander and the ball went in between wicket-keep and slip. Neither made an attempt to complete the catch. I thought this might be those one off chances, but the same thing happened with Agarkar bowling to a right handed batsman. I hope this is just coincidence and not a major glitch.

2. Shaun Pollock bowled an entire session of a test match from the same end. Hopefully this too was a one off thing.

3. Too many CPU runouts: This seems to be a major glitch. Specially with custom fields. The CPU strokes down the ground and takes off to an impossible run, only to be run-out without even making half way to the other end. This happens a lot (atleast in ODIs) and at regular intervals irrespective of the match situation. Please let me know if you have experienced this.

Hopefully there wouldn't be too many more that will be added in here :mellow:

Yeah i had the cpu run out too much.They seem to call very late and are run out by half the pitch.Also if you complete a run and the fielder misfields,you try for another run but your batsmen dont go straight away and get run out.
Also the rain bug where it keeps raining even after the clock stops.

try putting it on hard difficulty, this might make the batsman care a little more about his wicket...

Yes the game has so many games and to begin with:

* LBW Decisions are so bad. I have played 3 warm up games with Australia at hard level and not a single call for LBW has Gone down. Outside leg, above knee roll outside off, middle everything is given out!

* While cancelling a run, Player goes half down the pitch

* Keyboard configuration only allows remapping of action keys and not the movement keys thats makes very difficult to play some shots. specially sweep shot with left handed batsmen

All these problems and problems posted by other honourable members can be removed with a single patch!

I hope someone comes up with a patch for this run-out problem. I would like my bowlers to earn their wickets, and not have the other team less than 100 all out with 6-8 run-outs
I tried playing on Hard mode, but the batting is way too difficult, atleast for starters. I'm not sure if the CPU run-outs make any difference though.

abulhasanlakhani - I have noticed the other two problems you have mentioned too. All we can do is hope someone corrects these glitches.

Dalmiya...what r u doing playing games...dont u have cricket to run?...:

 

[f0bstyle]

there are too many byes. playing against england, if i miss a back foot shot, sometimes the ball will go past the keeper's gloves for four byes. i think in 7 overs i've gotten 16 runs off of byes.

does anyone have this problem?

also i dont like the run out thing.

 

[kunwer]

to many byes for 4 wicket keeper doesn't catch the ball

 

[abulhasanlakhani]

Yes same problem! Too many byes.

I tried to put short third man. this fielder is just behind the keeper and should solve the problem.
