Longer Test Matches

[Thomo253]

Hey all,

I do quite a bit of simulating as I like to play out a players career outside of the official career mode. However I can’t seem to have games that last longer then 3 days, and is becoming a issue. I either win or lose, with totals maxing out at 200-250. Anyone know the difficulty settings needed to change this and have long games.

I have the same same problem in a county championship. Some matches are finished on the second day. Still yet to see a draw.

everything i've understood from posts where people simulate i think there is a real problem with it, in terms of run rates and collapses meaning very short games. not sure if there are any settings than can be adjusted because tbh i doubt simulation takes them into account

When I'm at the crease I tend to notice an improvement in player ability, but if I simulate the innings until I'm due to bat (Nunber 8) we're usually 6 down for 80-100 and I have to rebuild.

Defo an issue the longest I've seen AI vs AI simulated is 3 days....

I am finding this too, just into 4th morning is longest ive had but this is correct

Ok just out of interest, how many modern day real life test matches last 5 days?

Instead of simulating watch cpu vs cpu

Fact: more tests finish on the 5th day than any other day.

In the last 10 years?

It's funny if you create a Test Match Series for 1 to 4 matches and sim the game to a point and jump in, it's realistic, the same if you have tournament play, it's the one off Test Match exhibition that there seems to be an issue with bad scores if you sim. If you watch the AI vs AI then it is realistic. What I cannot understand is how the sim is realistic for created Tests and tournaments but not for exhibition sim ,must be a bug? Anyone else see what I see?

Definitely bugs me, but it seems to have improved just slightly when you reach Test Cricket. Or maybe I’m imagining it.

The opposite problem seems to be true for T20s. If you’re batting bellow number 3 or 4 you’ll hardly ever get to bat. I’ve seen multiple T20 matches without a single wicket falling. Some of the openers are averaging north of 90 in T20s.

AI vs AI Seems fine in T20 though I have to keep testing, I am going to play around with the match creation tools and see if the AI sim work for all, it definately is better when I compare. I'll post my results here.

Its buggered for career mode tests and 3/4 day matches too. Emailed Big Ant but no response, despite them stating numerous times on twitter they respond to all emails.
