I take it this is weekly podcast 3.

Video (its only audio actually) on the field editor. Key take-aways:

1. More than 50 preset fields depending on bowler type, "mentality" i.e. Attacking, Balanced or Defensive, and field restrictions, if any.
2. Can move fielders around i.e. can move a player from slip and put him at Deep Fine leg
3. Can Zoom in and Zoom out on field editor for settings slips accurately
4. Lot of orthodox positions pre-marked on field with names but you don't have to necessarily position your fielders in one of those pre-marked positions.
5. Field Editor will mention about field restrictions, if any, while setting fields and wouldn't allow setting illegal fields.
6. Can set fields per bowler per bastman.

Did Jamie answer the question about whether fielders can be placed anywhere online? In the past that's led to game-breaking strategies with 9-0 fields.

Don't call it that!

Also - Time it took for someone to comment on the Facebook page with "GAMEPLAY VIDEO NOW!"? - 20mins. Whether 5mins of that was them listening to it, I do not know.

I liked the fact that we can get the slip fielders closer if we want to. Wonder if wicketkeeper is part of that.

Seems the pro developers have realised that LM's Drag 'n Drop field editor from TAOC was the best idea for a cricket game there's ever been.

Hey chief, 7 more weeks away from the release, so will there be weekly podcast from now?

I'm going to go ahead and wait till everyone has asked and answer all of those in one go.

Sounds interesting. I guess a question many of us have is on the theme of what Colin has already asked...are there any restrictions of field setting in online games to ensure "fair"play?

Are you able to discuss the nature of the fielding itself at all, i.e. has fielding itself by AI been revamped and how?
