Patch #2 Must Fixes

[79cricket]

Its not the run outs I hate now but the batting difficulty on pro. ODIs are very tough.

Practice dude and you will find weak spots against the AI, they bowl on the legs/short/straight most of the time, so check the legside field a lot. If they block your go to shots then block and wait for a offside ball and just hit a cover drive or cut or drive down the ground if there is no mid on and off. I play in far bowling for batting i can see where the ball is going most of the time.

Just don't give up and you will improve, i score 300 all out in tests a lot now. I am not perfect and still make the same stupid mistakes, i sometimes feel like Mark Waugh in that way.

PS I am also batting longer on average, at the moment i am playing as the Aussies vs WI and i am 8/327 of 60 overs. 83 not out of 127 balls with Smith. Good luck.

PS Also made 87 of 158 balls on Legend difficulty, the game feels different on this level but the AI still make the same line problems. After patch 2 who knows.

You don't get it.... I know all batting tips written in respective threads on this forums including these but the problem comes, when a super duper human fielder catches the ball.... I can live with run out bugs but not with these ....

and as for no timing window indication we get nicks...

p.s for no early short / full length ball indication we never go risking on back foot...

These things are very serious for me and it's very hard to play ODI's...

leaving the balls are not always the best option... Playing straight isn't even an option....

as soon as you loose 1,2 first wickets you loose the game and you know it and it's very frustrating...

So IMO AI/Human Difficulty balance / superhuman fielders and timing window / full , short length ball indicator should be there atleast till pro difficulty ...

rest is upto BA.

[ethybubs]

I thought that was pretty self-explanatory.

Be braced for an utter deluge of this type of post when the PC version comes out.....

I expect that he's talking about the teams not changing for the different formats of cricket in Career mode.

@adit142 In terms of the teams changing for different formats, I believe that this is something that can be set under the team management stuff - but you need to set it up before you start the career.

If that wasn't your question, I apologise, and could you please make it clearer what you want to know?

I am playing with kent in career and i have gone through 3 years as bowler all rounder and for 3 years there is same team in all types of matches no rotation of player

And Second i changed the rules of match in match designer then also it does not apply for career mode....


So wanna know will it be in patch 2 or patch 3

Almost certainly not patch 2, based on what they've indicated will be there.

Rotating players through different formats is handled in the academy, under the team management stuff. So that's already there.

Having players retire and new players come up doesn't happen yet - I'd be impressed if they managed this for patch 3 (in fact, for this iteration) simply because implementing that kind of stuff could break the game horribly and would require a buttload of testing to ensure it doesn't.

I'm certain that changing the rules in match designer doesn't impact on career by design, not by accident or because of a bug. I wouldn't expect a feature like that to appear until and unless a feature to design your own competition for career mode is implemented - again, something I'd be very impressed with if they did it in this iteration.

I've only played up to year 2 - does that mean that your team stays the same for 20 years?? In that case....I'll be opening up the batting for Warwickshire with 52 year old Ian Bell

The game just needs a single screen of storyline before you start your career -
"In a post apocalyptic world, the desire for cricket among the masses has led scientists to revive past cricket greats in an attempt to save the world. But one young man, the only remaining living cricketer seeks to make his career in this environment, and forge a new era for cricket!"

There you go - everyone else on the field are super powered zombie cricketers, while you start at 16 and age.

Will we need to restart our career when patch 2 comes out?

With patch 1 it did not matter as most of us hadn't put to much time into it yet, this time around it will be slightly gutting to restart

You can restart but its not needed.

@Ross :Facing this right now...Appealed for LBW, umpire gave not out and I was confused whether to take BARS or not and the time ran out and now the game is not functioning its stuck on the BARS screen...

That's my understanding at this stage. I haven't played a career past year 3 yet, so I don't know for certain from my own experience
