Decided to turn OFF all batting assists except trail blazer and have to say really enjoyed batting without the circle marker around the ball, this way im able to pick the line easily as well as timing is greatly improved.
you guys can see how natural it is, this was played on legend difficulty without circle marker only trails on using Close-batsman cam
So long batting with the circle seems to keep messing with your head making you concentrate more on the color and then interpreting it and doesn't give much time to focus on line, the only problem with playing without circle marker is in the odd times when you loos concentration you will mess on getting he length right, but its pretty improved this way compared to watching the green circle.A simple alternative to that marker, like a text/arc/point above the bowlers head when they choose the type of length for delivery at start-up would be great, just need to make it appear and fade before or while the bowler takes the jump and make the game much more enjoyable without watering down or slowing down the game.So people will continue to concentrate on the ball to pick line and play correct shot.
the biggest problem with circle marker is it does the opposite of what it is intended instead of making you concentrate on the ball it does the opposite of making you concentrate on the marker also makes the trail blazer insignificant by hiding it.
I hope this isnt too hard as it was easily done with fielders, we dont need the full input of the delivery like the circle marker does, just whatever length is chosen at the start, this will eliminate stupid dismissals on user part also make the game more enjoyable as well as maintain the challenge of the difficulty levels.
This can be given as option for all single player modes.
Right now BA are looking at slowing down before release i think, that will break the immersion greatly as well as feel cheap, every one wants to feel a johnson bouncer at good speed.
Playing at low levels or slowing down before release just wont cut it as it will feel like robbing of the experience.
I think right now players are made to focus too much on length rather than line by the marker, playing without it feels great, so just this little assist for length will really help improve the experience to a whole lot of people.
Sure i can play well with the current system too, but just at times i feel the game is demanding too much of me in terms of concentration, while now and then i would like such focused experience,
sometime i just want to play in a bit more relaxed manner, and playing at amateur or lower difficulties wont cut it as the way the difficulties are leveled in this game , the whole experience differs, amateur and pro have too much of assistance for my liking i terms of batting, the amount of variation and challenge level is well pronounced in veteran and legend, so this kind of option will help enjoy these levels better.As well as take the immersion higher.
Here's rough video edit of how the idea would be, this very raw and rough, but think of it like the text above fielders, it doesn't necessarily be text even a point or an arc for a second would work.
Ross @BigAntStudios would really like to hear your thoughts on this.

This suggestion, if incorporated, would reduce premeditation as well as folks will have a chance to select front or back foot based on the length instead of playing everything on front foot.
