How are you doing in your career?

@Chevo - Is that a default 'stadium' or a created one? Looks lovely for club level!

It's a created one, thanks

Good to see i'm not the only one who can't work out how to improve stamina, judgement etc! Anybody know if this has been raised directly with BA?

You can select a length like you normally would do, and as the bowler is running up select a new length with L1, R1 and pressing the original length again.... for example.... you pick triangle for full pitch, as he is running up you see him coming up select R1 (shorter), then press triangle again. The first instruction on this tutorial is wrong! it makes it look like you select length then tap R1,L1 and thats it, but the full instruction says different

Ah, I had a problem with this tutorial. I wasn't getting a correct ball bowled but I was only pushing either L1/R1 and not selecting the length again. Cheers!

Just got my first 50 not out.....but it isnt recored as my top score -- because it seems like a bug has prevented a not out top score from being saved as such boo

also just hit my longest 6 of 98m -- almosta trophy -- need 100m for a trophy.

Oooh, so in Career mode, you now see yourself raising the bat from the TV camera's perspective rather than 1st person?

How old are you when you start out, by the way? I played 1000 hours or so of DBC 14, and I don't think my player EVER made it past about 22-23. Those bowling overs when you're an all-rounder who specialises in first-class games really take a lot of time, haha!

you start on age 18

Then how are people 6 years into the game in 3 days?

Actually not that difficult if you're a batsman. You only play T20 to start with.

Ah, good point! I definitely spent a lot more time bowling than batting last time round - I think I figured out at some point that by averaging my career player statistics, I was spending, on average, 6-7 times longer bowling than batting per match, haha! I was nominally a bowling all-rounder though, so I did start out more as a bowler and gradually found my way into batting more and more in the last couple of seasons I played. By the end of it, I was hitting double and triple hundreds regularly, haha! Will probably play as an all-round all-rounder this time, now that option is there. I like being involved in both sides of the game really. Last time I made just under 20,000 career runs and took about 1,100 career wickets so that'll be more long term target to beat once I can start playing in January.

Quick question about the new game, given that you do start out in T20s only. What does that mean for your chances of breaking through into the First Class, or even 50 over, side. If you're only able to prove yourself in the shorter format, how does the game figure out if you're good enough to make it in the longer matches?

My career started of poorly. So far only gotten past 50 twice in 15 Matches.
My first 5 Matches - 0 , 0, 15, 0, 25
May start over my career during the holidays. Since I hardly get time to play right now.
May post up my Career Videos.

God knows.. I'm not good enough! Nah to be fair, it seems to be just assuming that if you're good enough for the county one day side, you'll be in the 4 day side too. I'm closer to selection in the OD squad than the T20 for my side bizarrely.

 

[greed378]

Managed to get myself to domestic level, only to find I'd somehow stuffed up the teams and Lancashire has no logo, then the game crashes whenever I try to do anything like view the calendar or start the next match!

Can you see your selection status somewhere?I think I missed this if so...

Edit: Found it! triangle on MY PLAYER in the horrific menu system! -- was also looking for edit appearance -- square on same place woohoo!
