aus contracts same as england

1: Asia cup too hard to implement
2: Will ask.
3. I think this is a bit hard to implement, it's a one-off thing that probably wouldn't be able to be included in the game
4. As above, they don't have regular fixtures against other ODI sides
5. World Cup teams change every year based on qualifying. I suppose they included the ones they felt were most appropriate
6. Already been noted in the Childish Things forums
7. Can't have a opener/all-rounder in game.
8. Been noted
9,10,11,12: skill is rather subjective; players do better for some people than others. Having said that, I agree that Trent Copeland is overpowered.
13. They've got a different contract system for a reason. They tried to model it on the current Australian system as best they could I suppose.

Most of the things apart from database errors won't be included in the patch. Not the first one at least - the database changes for that have already been sent away. Normally the first patch is out quickly to correct database errors. There may be another one later to correct some of the other things but I'm not sure how likely that'll be.

I'll post some of these ideas over in the forum.

 

[Chewie]

The patch is out, haven't had a look through it yet to check the changes though.

Will the patch be applied to the boxed version?

 

[Chewie]

I would presume so. If not, it's not very hard to patch the game.

 

[CG123]

I'll still waiting for the CD version to come out...

I can't bat in this game. I'm doing a save with NSW and here are the totals I've got.

238 ao Vs SL (OD)
157 ao vs SL (OD)
300/7 vs WA (OD) - Only really good score.
180 ao and 155 ao vs WA (FC)
226 ao vs TAS (OD)
233 ao (thanks to Nic Maddinson 100*) and 237/6 (thanks to Clarke 93) vs TAS (FC)
80 ao vs WA (OD)


Only won one game.

 

[CG123]

The key is keeping wickets in hand.
In my two day trail I tried to be around 100 only one wicket down after 25 overs, then in the last 20 you can score at around eight an over with the batting powerplay.
My average totals were probably around 260 as NSW, and I got into season two.
In season one I won the one-day cup, came last in the T20 cup, and 5th in the FC cup.

 

[hedger_14]

Well I just one my first 4 day match after I scored 264/6 in 36 over's as I had to chase that down in a session and a half and it ended up costing them, the declaration. Everyone contributed well.

Khawaja - 69 off 53
Maddinson - 35 off 29
Katich - 4 off 2
Rohrer - 43 off 44
Henriques - 34 off 24
Forrest - 37* off 43
S. Smith - 35* off 30

 

[CG123]

Move Smith up to 4/5/6, he is one of your best batsmen.

My FC line-up went something like this:

Khawaja
Warner
Rohrer
Forrest
Thornley
Smith
Henriques
Nevill/Smith
Hauritz
Bracken
Clark
Copeland

I know that's 12 players, I just can't remember exactly how it went, my line-up went something like that anyway.

Katich was always away on INT duty for me.

 

[hedger_14]

Katich hasn't been on International duty for me at all. Hughes and Jacques have though. Smith has been called up but when he came back, he took 11 wickets in a match, (7/35 or something like that in one innings).

 

[CG123]

Smith's bowling was crap for me, I played him as a specialist batsmen at five.
In my game Katich would bat at four for Australia, while Hughes and Jacques opened.

 

[hedger_14]

Bloody hell. I'm annoyed. I set my lineup for a FC match and batted first. I was going along nicely at 150/2 before it came up that my 50 over's were up. Now I got to bloody defend 150.

 

[Chewie]

hahahahahaha I hate it when that happens :laugh

 

[CG123]

Silly Brendon. :laugh

 

[Dondogz]

Did ya defend it?
