Bro, if someone else wants to have fun, and to do that they need the difficulty turned down, let them.

It's literally none of your business, except from the perspective of online leaderboards - which are almost universally garbage anyway.

*edit* Oh. Looks like a pile on, then?

these two difficulties wouldn't be counted for leaderboards.
 
Am slowly getting the hang of this. My 19 year old batsman has now made four FC half centuries this season with a highest score of 72 (69). Should top 500 runs for the season! Six FC 50's overall now.

Also notched up my first List A 50 (56 off 44) - breakthrough season!

FC career average 11.5
List A career average 8
T20 career average 11
 
these two difficulties wouldn't be counted for leaderboards.

So that makes it entirely irrelevant whether someone else is playing career mode on rookie level, not just mostly irrelevant because online leaderboards mean almost nothing anyway.

:)
 
Career

As a batting all-rounder, my bowling (Legspin) is progressing at a amazing rate, whist batting is extremely difficult. I have top scored with a double century once, which i only got by saving and exiting every 20-30 runs, on average i will score 30-40 and get out. I find that you have little room for error on timing, as anything remotely early results in an airborne shot, usually straight into the hands of a fielder. This can frustrate, if you feel like you want to dig in and grind out a century, you feel a bit ripped off.
I have also found that if you have made a custom field setting, that your opposition will use that exact field against you.
Whilst bowling, wickets taken should be replayed accordingly, ie: if you take a wicket LBW, you should see the decision from down the line to gauge the point it hits the wicket and the pads and height to stumps automatically without having to queue an interactive replay and do it all yourself.
I feel that this is a good leap forward in the genre, but it lacks or falls short in a few areas, it tends to allow focus on the aspects of the game that are mundane, instead on focusing on the aspects of cricket that make people love the game.
 
Excited just finished season 1 starting season 2 with international debut against pakistan. Test Match, playing for Australia as a Fast Bowler. Got 220 wickets in season 1. also am expecting selection in odi have taken 113 wickets there. touched helmet level 3 still far away from IPL
 
Didn't have chance to play this game for last 2 weeks due to memorial long weekend here. After long time, I played a match which was OD & oh boy! I exactly felt nervous to connect the shots like how it would feel in reality as well to play after a long gap( complete opposite of my last match of smashing the bowlers ).

It was only 160 to chase and our team lost the first 5 wickets so cheaply for 70 runs while chasing. Had to carefully connect every ball, brought my slowest fifty in 46 balls and got dismissed as 8th wicket for 82 runs with our team needing to get 3 runs. :eek: Just kicked my sofa too hard when this happened & I dared not to simulate the remaining runs as it was only 2 wickets to turn the match other way. We did loose 9th wicket but luckily our number 11 batsman got one cheeky boundary to finish the things off in the end.

What a nail biting match, sad that I threw my wicket away in end but was happy to finish with MOTM performance. In Round 11 of second season with status - regular member of English county FC and OD and Getting Attention for both Indian test & OD side. Would take it slowly as I assume that patch 2 will be triggered automatically in middle of career when season ends. So Yeah. :)
 
Haven't done anything in longer format (FC) and am nowhere in contention of being selected for county cricket or national team (Tests). But am a start member in all other formats in all the teams, including the national odi & T20 teams. In fact am a captain of all the teams I play for other than the FC team (Western Warriors).

It will be avaialble as a digital download come 6th June.

I am number four specialist batsman but my captain has been giving me the opportunity to bowl in ODI in death overs. I quite like rolling my arm over and have picked up two 3fors bowling in the last few overs.

List a- ave 40.1 with 6 50's
T20- ave 22.2 with 3 50's.

I bat no 2 for Surrey.
 
Career

Started as a fast bowling all rounder batting at no 7 bowling really well getting quite a few wickets in my 2nd season now and of course batting isn't as strong as my bowling but it gets frustrating averaging 9 even an no11 can average more than that in real life yes I know I need to be patient with the batting and collect more batting skill points so just to get that rubbish batting up ive saved my innings a few times and if I get out I just restart yes I know its cheating but I don't do it all the time and when the bugs for stumping and run outs hopefully get amended in patch 2 I wont bother saving my innings, I do have a first class 50 for Hampshire very proud of that I didn't save made that score genuinely. bowling is good enjoying that very much.
 
My Player is coming along nicely

Highest bat avg only in the 30's in T20 other formats struggling with 19 & 13 averages.
 
T20 Finals.. opening batsman did not get out for my team.. I sim'd the whole thing, got 0 points and won the trophey.. I should have at least fielded 1 over I think.. haha
 
Scored my highest individual score in FC cricket - 187. Was gutted when i was caught at mid off when I was looking forward to a double hundred. The knock lifted my average over 25 in FC cricket. A few more knocks like these and I may get into the Test team as well.

What year are you in, bro?
 
Loving the form which my player is undergoing. Last 3 games - 250(FC), 80+(OD), 51*(FC in progress).

We are 120/6 which is so disappointing in current game as its becoming too much again for me to keep retaining the maximum strikes to get to a decent position.
