How are you doing in your career?

[PotsnPans]

I'm not sure how I feel about the removal of the bowling HUD when playing for your country. I get it, but I don't know if I like it.

Does that mean the part with the needle and the green bar is removed? The one that indicates when to take off and release the ball yeah? Not done much bowling so far as I've only played career mode as a batsman.

If the HUD removed i'll bowl a no ball every ball...Ima quit when I get selected if that's the case and go back to playin' casual games.

Who else have been selected for thier national team?
And at what age?
My selection status is as follows:

India - ODI: regular member

India - T20I: getting attention

India - TEST: regular member

ENGLISH COUNTY CUP: core member

ENGLISH P40 CUP: core member

ENGLISH T20 CUP: regular selection

INDIAN T20 LEAGUE: expecting selection

Started my career with Tasmanian Tigers.

That's interesting. I thought you got selected for T20I first followed by odis and Tests.

You're not getting the bowling hud removed when you get to international level - you're being moved from Pro difficulty to Veteran, which has the effect of removing the bowling hud.

So effectively, you are getting the bowling HUD removed.

Edit: I'm used to it already. Not getting as many RPMs as usual, but I'm getting there. This game is pretty awesome.

Is the bowling as easy as the figures people are getting suggests? Most people I've seen have poor batting averages, but ridiculously low bowling averages. I'm wanting to start a career as a leggie all-rounder when I get the game, but not if I'm gonna average 4 with the ball and get picked for England at 16.

 

[Exis]

My average is like 6 battin' lol...

 

[MattW]

But you're not getting it just randomly switched off - you're also going up in difficulty, which means a smaller timing window, and the fact it impacts everything including batting.

That's probably mostly why it's getting harder - because the difficulty went up at the same time that you lost the assistance.

It's an important distinction.

 

[mixz0r]

I hear you Matt. Good to know that the batting is even harder now too!

 

[theduck1e]

Is there any way of telling in your career what the current difficulty is?

 

[BigAntStudios]

Your batsman is getting better too as you progress.

That would actually be quite challenging, considering the fact that you play a lot more one day and first class matches than T20s.

I was going by one of the posts from Big Ant folks sometime back. I recall reading a post which stated the progression path on career mode would be something like State/County->T20s->Odis->Tests->Test Captain.

I think it was in response to someone asking whether they can choose to forego a particular format (say T20s) and the response was nope as you will need to play T20s as part of career progression path listed above.

 

[MattW]

That might have just been my speculation as to the meaning of the comments regarding 'five ranks' of career mode progression. It's clear in the game that you can be a specialist in particular formats.

I suppose that then means it's talking just about the helmet rankings - though I wouldn't be surprised if most people finish career mode without a 5 helmet rating.

Not getting man of the match even after getting bowling figures of 4/15 in T20 match
