Latest Patch now available for PS4 (1.06) & Xbox One (1.0.0.7)

[sonimrajk]

I played a one day match on Hard and Pro with big ant teams. Definetly its not as easy as earlier. I tried to slog without settling and most of them end up caught in inner field. Earlier i use to hit those balls sixes very easily. Not sure whether its because i m playing with big ant teams.
Overall the patch looks really good. Have to play an odi between international teams to verify it again.

i take back my comments. sixes are still very easy to hit. Also not even a single edge for the entire 50 overs i batted in an odi.

Play on legend, hard pro is too easy.. finding timing on legend is more challenging.

I think the sliders need fixing. Everyone should find their custom spot with the sliders on offer. It's obvious that for some people the games too easy and then u ramp up the sliders the difficulty goes off the cliff from 59 to 60+

People should also avoid making judgements based on one match

Ok so I played and installed the new patch. Here are my observation

1. AI does take single. I will post a video to watch.
2. Most importantly we have front foot shot animation for straight drives.
3. Less frame rate issue in night matches.
4. In a 5 over match I had one edge to keeper and one to slip which was good as the bowl was turning.

Overal once again I am impressed with the turnaround time with less than 1 month we get two patches. Good job @MattW & @BigAntStudios team.

One example

Also I think Pro level difficulty with Medium batting and Medium bowling is the best difficulty in the game.

The pace inner ring field (match type: any form) really needs to be removed. Or atleast field type changed from prevent boundaries to maybe stop singles or something. Everytime i hit couple of boundaries the AI changes to pace inner ring. Also this field is used by spinners as well. (Infact in odi, the spinners dont have any powerplay field options or even two fielders outside the circle options. They use pace fields.)

Also, apart from the general easy batting and six hitting, i do not see any increase in edges. I have played more than 6 hours and had one edge to the keeper. I have been playing with my 33 rated career player and in the past 4 matches i have scored 3 centuries. Everything on hard legend. Havent moved to hardest since the ball marker display time is too less and gameplay modifiers are still incorrect post patch.

Couple of good changes are that the deep fielders are actually deep and the removal of the weird pull shot on green deliveries.

Is it so ? I was playing on that and thought it’s mediocre (because veteran and Legend are above that in hierarchy) may be I need to bump up a level for better challenge once I familiarise with the controls in Pro - Med - Med.

For a cricket game there are too many basic bugs... we should be having a detailed stats section which shows 100 and 50 scored against who.. big ant need to fix stats and a1 asap

Just a heads up - you probably mean AI instead of a1

Spent a few hours playing Casual matches and the game's much better post the latest patch. Kudos Big Ant! Batting is a lot more fluid and fun with that weird leg side pull shot gone and replaced by glances & flicks. The boundary riders standing right on the ropes is a big plus too. There are still a few issues to iron out (e.g., overly aggressive AI fields, ball passing through the bat, batting being on the easy side, some shots playing out weirdly - lofted cut shot going towards wide off/extra cover) but the game's quite close to reaching its potential.

I haven't started a career so can't speak to stats but if stats are tracked correctly in career mode then this game will provide entertainment for quite a while

The game is much much better than before. Just now played a 50 over match and almost all of the frustrating bugs have gone off. Just some minor fixes required after this, most of them that don't directly affect gameplay.

I already have the game uploaded on my channel...

I will post a quick highlights reel...which infact has atleast 3 catches to the first slip, I believe. There was even an underedge to keeper that I dropped. Two very fine edges that graced the pad as well on the way to the keeper!

And most of these issues being mentioned here are just a few gameplay sliders away. I also don't know why someone would expect edges every match irrespective of batting conditions or batsman/bowler skill. There are real games without a single edge if the batting conditions are perfect!

Just a suggestion for once the other issues are ironed out, I'd like to see some more pitch hardness settings such as very hard and very soft. I think this would add some more realism to the game, because in real life the Adelaide oval and WACA for instance, are both hard wickets, however the waca is still a lot harder and bouncier than Adelaide

depends on the conditions and how you play... If the balls not swinging or seaming you won't get many edges. Also the legend difficulty is for AI not the actual batting difficulty

 

[MARK99ZA]

I played a T20 world cup match as SA vs WI and there were plenty of edges under lights - so conditions do dictate chances of edges for sure! six hitting was still quite easy on veteran, hard batting, but was mostly AB smashing them so that may be why!! game is great. I do agree however sometimes a block sounds like an edge.

When playing with sliders you seem to get extremes from can’t get bat on a ball to to easy , I like the way bigant are giving us so many options and various ways to play the game .
Old games use to be easy medium hard and that all you got , it’s just finding correct settings !
