I agree with this. I think it's too many inputs too late. If you got an early "tell" from poorer bowlers at the length, then you could be setting your foot earlier, and concentrate on the line. The tell could be reduced on harder difficulty levels. You could still make a late adjustment (the length could change any time up until release from the bowler's hand maybe, so you could actually add the ability for a bowler to fake it).
Tells would be particularly nice as far as being able to pick the delivery - a 30kph reduction in speed for the slower ball _without_ any tell is pretty special
Could also be interesting as far as tells for wrong 'uns and things like that. You could reduce the tells not only for difficulty, but for bowler and batsman ability.
And still, it's more my inputs that I'm interested in. I've hit a patch where I'm seemingly unable to play a shot square or behind square on the leg side - short, full, pull, glance, front foot, back foot, medium pacer, fast; doesn't matter, I'm missing it.
I don't know whether it's the footwork, the timing or the phase of the firetrucking moon. Which makes it hard to correct, and because of the occasional wicket lost to acknowledged and clear bugs it's easy to start thinking that there might be an extraneous influence - stroke/batting feedback would go a long way (pretty much all of it, for me) to alleviating the issue for me.
Even something "simple", like two dials representing the L and R stick inputs and a timing indicator, that needs a button press or two to access (so, similar to the BARS stuff) would do the trick, IMO.
