Linking Players / Teams

[superfreddie]

Yeah, I'm sure Bigant have it under control, I just keep getting in a flap thinking of potential problems. Think I'll just shut up for a while and wait to see what happens. Sorry, I'm even annoying myself now.

You must be in the Information Technology field

Might be a point that people actively (if not already) rating those really horrible and totally off the mark players as low. Hopefully this will get rid of the bad ones at release. I've seen some absolute shockers - particularly for Ricky Ponting.

For me, it isn't a big deal if C.Gannon from Queensland doesn't really look like him, as I couldn't tell you what he looks like in real life. The name has to be right and the stats. Only the bigger name players (internationals) are the ones I really am concerned about how they look.

A big thing for me is making sure the players are linked, so R.Harris in the Aussie team is the same in the Queensland and so on. So that stat tracking keeps up to date...

Yes, stats are important to me...

100% the same for me. Very few people do I know what they look like, so doing the ones I do know and care about player by player avoids any problems

I agree with crossy and block, ill want the international teams to be right, but I have no idea what the domestic players look like in real life, so I'd probably just download rucks and munkeymomos teams for that. IPL teams I'd probably just leave as default!!

Block I didn't see your body line England team on there??

The other problem I see is some teams are very good but only have 13 players or so, and people are more likely to download a bigger squad which wouldn't be the "best"

Although it'll take a lot longer I think the best thing to do is create international teams and download the players one by one.

FYI, check out the username Casper on the Academy. More up to date Australian domestic rosters with (subjectively) more accurate faces

I have a better alternative-
Every user can upload the players and the teams they have in the game under their username with credits given to the respective creator. Then a user, can download those teams or players. This way a user can make sure they download from the creators on whom he relies would have selected the best.
For instance, I feel blocker would have the best teams and players in his team. So if he would have uploaded em, I would be able to download em and get the best without much effort!!
Better than 'get best' IMO.

Was just using those two as example, but ill check Casper out. Also @blockerdave is your username dmconnors? Or am I looking at wrong ones?

Uploaded my 1st team, although its only my club side, I'm pleased with it. Just starting to look through others work now. So suggestions are welcome!!

 

[blockerdave]

Yeah dmconnors my body line team ain't up still working on it. Finished the Nawab of Pataudi but nothing like him. Am using a lot of other peoples creations in it where they're good. So far only Pataudi, Jardine and Sutcliffe are my creations.

Will get more stuff uploaded soon. Was quite pleased with my D'Oliveira, not perfect but decent.

The Aus body line ones Snowy did are great.

I know I am far from the best creator, but I am picky enough to make sure my teams are using what I feel are the best version of each player regardless of who created it. If there's a player I think hasn't been done well enough I try to improve, like Anderson I am biased of course but think mine is one of the best, though in general I am trying to stick to classic and obscure players.

That being said my Gareth Batty is a work of art!!!

Seemed to me a good idea actually.

Asked it somewhere else also...but can anyone test this out?

Download my saf team (or update it if you downloaded it before)...link the team to the default saf team. And check and see if kallis shows up in kkr team also automatically.

 

[Crossy333]

Just tested it out Israr and it appears to have updated Kallis in Kolkata.

I wonder if it is because you updated the on-disk squad and that how it knows. For those that have created a new squad and replaced players rather than 'linking', it won't actually update any other players as it doesn't have a link.

Can anybody else confirm this?

 

[isrararrafi]

Hmm. Can you explain step by step what you did?

 

[Crossy333]

Wait, I might have jumped the gun on that. I thought it had replaced Kolkata Kallis as I don't recall having updated him yet because all I've been working with are Aussie Domestic teams.

However, in my 'Other Players' I now have 2 Kallis. One that purely plays for South Africa and one that is in South Africa, Kolkata and Glamorgan.

Interesting though is that they appear to be the same.

I downloaded your South Africa team and went straight to link teams, as oppose to the more time consuming linking players.
