to make career leader board a joke.

a) Who cares about the leader board?
b) Seriously, who cares about the leader board?

Career mode is a personal mode, if you're playing it to win on the leaderboard I think you're kinda not getting the point of career mode. Indeed, I think it's held hostage some elements of career mode to the detriment of the game itself.

Just ignore the leaderboards. I looked at them the other day and for 6.8 seconds enjoyed the fact I was slightly ahead of Matt. Then I forgot about it.

Exactly..I give a damn about it too, but just wanted to prove how it is been exploited by some people.
 
All leader boards in every game ever made are exploited...
 
Its totally Up to you, how you want to play. you are right you will lose interest, if you keep on save and quit. Use it only when you want to stop, because that's the only way game is meant to be played.

Dude, it's real simple. I don't believe that you got 300 at almost 2 a ball on Legend difficulty without some kind of "trick". Whether it's that you quit and reload if you get out, whether you've got some kind of trainer running, whether you've messed with the other teams in career (actually, that's an interesting point, what happens if you turn EVERYONE's skills and attributes down to zero, except possibly your team? The normalisation would probably get messed up by that kind of distribution).

I said I would lose interest if I didn't actually earn my scores. Clearly that's not true for you - because there's no way I'll believe you earned those scores without seeing either the Big Wheel for the whole innings, or video.

Let's be clear, the first 50 were at almost 2 runs a ball. On legend. You've found some kind of exploit, I just wish you'd share it with us all because there might be some hints for people who want to play the game properly in there (exploits can lead to a better understanding of the underlying systems)

By the post of @ellgieff it seems my effort and time for proving the point about making big scores on Legend Difficulty went to vain. I am 100% sure no matter how great a player is, it is absolutely impossible to score 300 in Legend Mode (May be on Pro & Veteran Mode too) without quitting when you get out. If anyone want to take up the challenge please post the Batting Wheel of your 300+ score on Legend difficulty. I think people are still confusing about Save & Exit with quitting and exit when ones gets out during the innings.

Edit: This is my last post on this career thread and just hope there is someway to stop people from exploiting the loopholes to score all these big runs (like I myself did) to make career leader board a joke.

I'm disappointed you feel that way, man. I did see your point: that it was clearly possible for someone to exploit the save game function in order to get a big score. I was simply saying that I have a little bit of respect for people who are willing to go to that kind of trouble - largely because I find myself completely unable to care about leaderboards. I want to beat my last score, not yours ...

This. Hopefully in next iteration leader boards are used for any game mode except career mode
 
It is entirely possible to cheat in career mode by editing the players - even if the attributes got 'normalised' so you couldn't just nerf their skills, then you could set all the teams except yours to only have midget medium pacers and zero specialist batsmen. Easy to bat against, easier to dismiss when bowling...

I really dislike how we can't edit our own player or any of the other players or lineups having started a career mode. Why is this limit there? It's not protecting the integrity of the leaderboards as you can do what I mention above.

Now this has become a bigger issue than Jaddu and Anderson, give him some time to play the next big innings without break to post the Wagon wheel...

Playing Legend difficulty from the start what I have learnt is footwork is the most important...If you get that right your chances of getting edges reduces by about 40-50%, and the shot selection for placing the balls in the gap helps to get those 2's and 3's on a regular basis which surely helps in getting that2 runs a ball 50 which you pointed out...And I avoid defensive shots as I mostly get edges on them....After gaining confidence you can start hitting big shots and go for 6's more but you need to play the ball in the right area not just slog leg side or off side to get max benefit...

Heh. He can take all the time he wants, as far as I'm concerned.

I keep trying, I've been putting all the effort I've got into it, and I simply can't find it in myself to give the slightest tweak how many runs someone else has got. Like I said, I'm looking to better my scores, not someone elses.

I don't care if you believe or not, i really don't. And yes i have found a exploit in the game, you want to know ?? i will tell you.
i scored my 50 in 28 balls,
Herath was bowling and there were no fielders on mid on and mid off. so i went after him, struck 32 in over and reached my 50. after that i saved and exit to desktop, watched a episode of fresh prince "day damn one".
again same formula , i reached 90 of 40 something balls but i really wanted to score 100, so i was cautious and it took me 61 balls to reach 100. after that most the times when spinners were bowling they had the same field, no mid off and mid on, so i exploited and went after them ,score kept coming , and i kept on saving and exit and watched few more episodes of fresh prince.

that's how i scored 300 on LEGEND LEVEL


I have a very limited inventory of shots but the one i play i am very good at them.

if i ever score a 100 or 200 or 300, i will share big wheel of the innings.
 
Ive done 20 something ball 50s on legend / pro cam / no hud. Ive done 40 odd in fewer than 20 but then got out. What I cant do is stay in longer than 60 or 70 balls in total.
 
If you did score 32 runs in an over on Legend then I must say that's very impressive. As someone who's been playing this game on Pro and Veteran for almost 3 months now, I find that a little improbable. But, perhaps, you're an exceptional gamer.

It is there to protect the integrity of the career mode itself. If we didn't take a snapshot then players/teams could be deleted, renamed and all sorts of other issues that would cause us pain with progression and would be a nightmare testing wise.

against spinners its easy, i am not saying it happens every other over.
