How are you doing in your career?

[Gamer Pradosh]

I can agree with you if the ball has pitched in line or some where close to the line. But in my scenario, the ball was nowhere near the line and the impact was outside the line as well. How can there be a umpires call where 2out of 3 reason for LBW (Ball pitching, Impact and Wickets) are against the umpires decision. I am talking about the pace bowlers here if I have to be more precise

I have not experienced such an incident till now...

Same here. I have found umpiring to be pretty decent most of the times and haven't had one single botched review.

 

[zimrahil]

I have had loads - common one is AI edges the ball and given not out.
Review decision and snicko shows the edge but still given not out

 

[barmyarmy]

In quite a few of those my keeper catches it facing the wrong way and I tend to assume that it bounced.

 

[Biggs]

I've only had a couple of weird reviews... I'm pretty consistently given caught on bump-balls, where the bat makes contact with the ball and the pitch at the same time, happened maybe half a dozen times in career mode? It's not a big deal, as usually the replay shows the ball is inside the pitch, so it's just an unavoidable animation glitch... and once they sort out the over-powered fielding a bit more, it'll become less frustrating I reckon.

 

[Ajh1977]

Definitely agree the fielders need sorting out, its frustrating enough that you can't play a cut to a spinner even when the field placement begs you to, due to the 90% chance you're gonna be caught behind, but the superhuman fielding is killing me. Definately hope the patch sorts that and the fatigue issue out.

I have a suggestion for future patches also, please change the way stats appear on screen when a new bowler/ batter comes on. For batting it should be:
Matches. Innings. Not Outs. Runs. High Score. 100s. 50s. Average.
Or M I. NO. R. HS 100 50 Av
you could put in strike rate too.
For bowlers: Matches Overs Maidens Runs Wickets Average Strike Rate
Or M O Mdn R W Av SR.
It bugs me that the way it is ATM is not how it should be when so much if the game has been done so well. Also it should show maidens on the scorecard.

Is what you are arguing that it should not have be an umpires call at all, rather than the game logic being wrong with regard to how the umpires call is treated?

As you progress batting does get easier. I have learnt to play to my strengths until my confidence is up and then open up. I generally score all around the ground and I honestly feel every time I go out it is because I have made an error.

I am itching to make the test side now but it has stayed on getting attention for ages. Partly because I missed half the county season due to international commitments.

That's awesome, good effort, some brilliant averages there. I'm about 3 FC games and 4 List A games in to the second season, I've scored 4 50's (91 being the highest) so far this season, and am still not getting attention for the English county sides. This is as a WK Batsman. Did it take your first 100 to break through?

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I just can't bat.

my batting average is lower than my bowling average, and considering I'm awesome at bowling and average 7.50 that's really quite bad. still to make over 30 with my career batsman.

 

[MattW]

I have had loads - common one is AI edges the ball and given not out.
Review decision and snicko shows the edge but still given not out

In those cases I think the review is for LBW, based on how it is treated.

I have that issue with the occasional edge I will appeal for, where the replay might show the ball bouncing but wasn't obvious in real time. But instead of showing the bounce, you just get the edge shown.

Basically if you appeal for a catch, I'd not bother reviewing it, the game just never seems to realise what you're appealing for.

 

[madman981]

I tell ay, there is nothing better than getting an edge and the Opposition doesnt appeal, its happen to me at least 10 times, The way i see it, ya gotta take the good with the bad just like real life

Ive had some dodgey ones given against me, but plenty that they have missed also!!

 

[kulch]

u just need to keep at it boys. just like an out of form batsmen, you gotto keep trying to get back into form.

im now 21yrs old, a level 2 batsmen, and its hard to get out for under 25 in domestic matches.

i am not that good. i restarted my career as a pure batsmen, finished first year with an avg about 20-25 in all forms. then things got ugly and i wanted to quit the game of cricket. i had the worst 2nd year syndrome, my avgs slumps to mid teens in all formats, dropping to 12 in TESTS. i was at a career low, no chance of playing overseas. NO CHANCE. 3rd years rolls around and i start putting in numbers similar to my first year. 4th year and i finally cracked my first ton and a bunch of 50's, and NO CHANCES turned into GETTING ATTENTION.

Today im about to embark on my year of 21. my last 5 innings id have an avg of about 50+. My career avgs went from mid teens to now topping 20, the numbers are starting to swing the other way, my skills are starting to get a voice. Front foot and straight bat are past half way, finally the slow progressing is harvesting some results.

Its absolutely brilliant. Ive still got a huge chunk of my career to look forward to. I walked out of school like a greenhorne and got pwned for 3/4 seasons at state level. But now going into adulthood, you can really see and feel the difference. I am surely going to make the UK comps this season and i cant wait to post some scores and contribute to the team, coz i feel like i have let everyone down, especially the fans, they have been patient with a #3 batsmen getting out for less than 20 too many times. Those days are over. Let the fun begin

Everyone should be aware that the game isnt that difficult. Its just our career skills are soo primative its a slow start. But once the tide swings you'll be posting scores and loving it. There is still a bit of pre-med, but ive learned to adjust and play on merits for deliveries under 115kms. Anything above this, and i play to the gaps and my strengths. Just block if there is no gaps or strenghts to play to, eventually they will show up. But at the end of the day the biggest relief is your skills. Somehow the timing window feels bigger, you get less knicks and popped up balls and instead, get more boundaries and find gaps which means runs!!!

 

[Marty363]

I agree Kulch, a lot if people seem to not be able to keep their patience which this game commands. I understand where those people are coming from if they're just casual gamers, casual cricket fans, but I love the true emotion it brings out in a realistic sense. So much relief when you hit personal milestones, ie 50's 100's etc, it's brilliant. I've been chipping away at it for a bit now, and have only had two stupid dismissals in my last half dozen innings.

 

[madman981]

Totally agree, things are alot easier now

Made my International debut last night in T20, and things are looking up!! Looking forward rto my IPL debut and ODI debut also

Got me thinking about The world cups and stuff, then found out today there is none, I must admit this is the 1st time i have been dissapointed by the game

As someone else mentioned, I can not wait for DBC15 already...
