Just got given out lbw and reviewed it. Got a big edge onto the pad and it's still given out. What a load of whitedogshit
 
I'm gonna stick to armature difficulty till patch 2 arrives, pro batting is very difficult....

Armature, armchair, amateur, Armageddon.......as in armageddon out of here.....

Yeah much better we go back to the mini game push button scripted crap from the past. Huh, what pathetic that we can review decisions in a game for the first time ever. Really sucks.

What's the point in a review system that doesn't overturn incorrect decisions?
 
I'd love to have a "skip match" option in career mode so I could just forget about playing four day matches altogether. I'm just forfeiting them now to get through to the T20 season where I have the most chance progressing. I'm kinda done bumbling through my career...
 
My suggestion/

1. AI Fielding positions based on Match type and situation (like runs required)

2. Avoid hitting stumps each time after a delivery

3. Batsmen should get back to crease automatically

4. In career mode Option to control the AI Partner's Batting (aggressive, defensive,etc.,)

5. Fielding radar is not required but zoom in on the fielders

6. Reduce AI Aggressiveness in Test matches (batting)
 
I haven't had any problems with DRS,,,last night I was given out and thought not to review and just walk, but in the last 2 seconds, I decided to review,,,,to my delight, ball pitched and hit Gayle outside off, decision was reversed...and have had a fair luck overturning Umpire decisions

I use Billy Bowden and Murray Erasmus or Ian Gould,,,,Steve Bucknor sleeps a lot, lol

The jump in difficulty (Pro/Normal to Veteran) is far too big in my view. I was getting regular 5 wicket hauls and scores around the 40-60 mark, before my test debut and now that I have made my debut I've found that batting hasn't changed though is a little harder, but I've found it almost impossible to get wickets now (my first County game after debuting I was 1-80 for the match). Maybe turning off the whole jump in difficulty thing would make it more even or even putting a level in between the two would make it flow better. Don't get me wrong I love a challenge but what's the point of let us set a difficulty (for what I assumed to be the entire career; after all that bit did say "Career difficulty" or something like that) and then turning it up?

I've also found myself being given out caught on the boundary a couple of times in FC and OD cricket when I clearly wasn't (fielder had dived to stop the ball, then after 5-10 seconds later they stood up and I was given out).

Also having a lot noticing fielders "ball watching" a lot, i.e. they'll be bending down to pick the ball up and it'll go past them, or they'll walk up to it and watch as it goes past.

3. Batsmen should get back to crease automatically

2. still needs some work. They certainly dont do it after every delivery though. Maybe 2 times per over. Its still a bit silly but doesnt affect much I guess.

3. Dont agree with this at all. It should be

3. Batsmen should return to their crease promptly or with extreme haste depending on the input of the player.

This sounds excellent to me. I havent tried anything beyond pro as I find the batting hard already, but the bowling difficulty doesnt match batting on pro. It sounds like its about right on veteran. Is your career player a bowling specialist? Even if he is, you shouldnt be getting "regular 5 wicket halls" When does anyone ever get that?

The difficulty setting did explain that it was only the initial setting and that it was going to increase as you played when you started the game. Whether thats a good idea or not I dont know but it was pretty clear.

we had people like you during the war... we called them the French.

It wasn't necessarily every game (though for a 3-4 game stretch I got a 5fa in at least one innings), though my bowling average in FC games before play Test's was like 7.5. Nah I' playing as a bowling allrounder, though with the bowling difficulty the way it is now I might as well just be a batsman because I'm getting nowhere with the ball at the moment.
