Hi im new member here,
just thought id say hello first

Have a query, been playing cricket 2004 this morning and bloody India hit 300+ in a 20 over game on medium setting before you all yell learn how to play n00b... my bowlings not that bad!

When bowling i can often induce lots of edges from persistent short of a length bowling on/outside off stump and the edges repeatedly go over keepers head or through slips unless i set really weird fields ie: 2 players on on side the rest stacked on the offside full slip cordon, gully point and deep 3rd man... but this is annoying as its just not cricket

For instance in the test series im playing against India i have bowled them out for under 100 in 2 innings, yet in ODI's i get hammered all over the ground... hmmm the AI just seems so inconsistent.

I'm using default AI and with sams runout fix exe.
Does any one recommend a certain fix or AI patch to make the computer batting AI more realistic ?
cover drives for 6 of a fast bowler from full length yorkers on leg stump are absolute bs!
I dont want the game made any easier, just the AI levelled out so its more enjoyable to play..

oh also is there a bug fix for the custom fields ?
when ever i set specific players in certain fielding positions they always reset as in to having the tail end in the slip cordon.

thx for any help.

thanks again, i have that editor already, tried using it before i asked
(I cant recall it ever working)...its unzipped it into the data folder, have Configeditor.exe and some configeditor.exe.manifest file, when i run the exe it says "comdlg32.ocx" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered, done a system search for the file and nothing is found
running xp sp2

 

[fardin]

download comdlg32 from the download section check the download section they hav there.It happens to every one but after you download comdlg it will work fine alt.

btw i started another world championship, funnily enough drew india again, got them 5 for 160 of 20 overs.. much more realistic cpu batting now!
but they bowled me out for 32

before i updated the cfg i could generally easily hit 160-180 of 20 overs, cpu bowling was much tighter than usual, few leg side deliveries werent called as wides though!

anyways guess im gonna have to get used to timing/shot selection for the new cfg.
thx again for your help guys.
