I have been testing the game in test matches over the last few days.
Still no edges of drives/cuts or defense shots. I get out bowled/LBW/ Runout or glove to keeper/ close fielders and the odd catch in the circle.
I tried medium batting with ball speed 65/70 on legend and nothing I tried slogging it. I hit Ali for 6 sixes on legend with no edges.
PS Ashes starts tomorrow so I will give the game a rest for a while as playing test cricket while you bat is not fun any more. Will wait for the next patch and hope this area is fixed to the level of BDC17.
The rest of the game rocks so please don't think I don't love the game it's just feels not right.
