Should is download teams again or reduce the current skills of all players manually?
I am playing on all medium difficulty and AI batters feel overpowered

I love that I don't have to play my sweep shots basically before they leave the bowler's hand now.

Absolutely tonked a slog sweep miles over square leg during my Hayden hundred.

Batting against spin is significantly improved imo. Previous fixes to improve pulls and cuts for short deliveries work nicely with the new timing window - feels like you wait before jumping on it, and there's power if you get it just right.

With the hud off you've actually got to play for turn, and with no other way to pick deliveries (that I've yet discovered) there's a challenge there.

This is astonishing

I would take everyone down a notch: I kind of skill players like Football Manager....a player in the high 80's or early 90's is a world class legend of a player...seeing so many of the Aus and England team up there is overpowering the game.....middle/high 80's max for me....the Smith's and Anderson's of the world

Remember as well people give your AI batters a weakness other than special shots, then bowl to a plan..

Also just had 3 ideals for timing a drive and it didn't get close to going for a four.

That's the bowler's ability / execution factoring in, I think.

I might have this wrong, but if I understand correctly the bowler still has some power to influence the outcome, even if you get three ideals.

So if he's a high quality bowler bowling a high quality delivery, perfect input will get you less power than if it was a shit bowler and a shit delivery.

Overall it feels like reasonable variation to me.

My view is that if you time a cricket ball perfectly, no matter the line or length, if you pick the gap it should go for four. (apart from the crap outfields I play on)

edit: the quality of the delivery should make it harder to time, but if the feedback generates 3 ideals, it should go for four

Yeah, Australia smacked 440 on my bowling yesterday in an odi. We can't tone down Australia and england players. Now I see benefit of no licences

3 ideals getting caught or low power shot only happens early in the batsmen innings so for from my batting experience , I think its fair enough I guess.

Yes I agree

The batting windows should be smaller, when confidence is low. It should be harder to time well, but if it is timed well it should go for four.

 

[Wealey]

Yes I agree

But it becomes very easy to eventually get 3 ideals.. that’s the prob!

hmm can't disagree with your solution either.[DOUBLEPOST=1524830921][/DOUBLEPOST]

How about moving timing windows for exceptionally well bowl? so that you can never get used to the timing. not huge moving timing window that can result in late or very early timing. but just enough to make your usual ideal timing in to good or late.

Yeah fair enough.
