still think the edge issue should be fixed for "normal" skilling - we're having to game the attributes, giving players much lower skills than you would expect, when we shouldn't have to do that.
Or indeed, even just the kind of skills you get with the out of the box teams, which most people used as a guide.

I'd put my list, besides 'make everything better', as (in vaguely descending order of importance to me):
An ability to fix a field for a bowler against all batsmen - too often I just give up and bowl to a bad field simply because I can't be bothered to change it, or didn't notice that it had been changed on me. Plus, a proper prompt that pops in whenever a field change has been made - not just trying to rely on occasionally getting that cut scene.
Make the fielders less stupid - not putting their foot on the rope to return the ball from the boundary, not dropping absolutely everything in the outfield and then being able to throw a direct hit. Fewer cases of fielders I don't control doing overthrows attempting to run out players that are safe would be nice too.
Run outs. It went from too many to never - give the AI batsmen a better balance. Making tail order batsmen worse at running between wickets, and willing to take more risks in tight situations, might by itself solve the problem of how hard those last few wickets seem to be. Perhaps that tweaking could also be focused on getting the AI partner in career mode to be better at rotating the strike - so I don't just get bored and run them out trying to get back on strike.
Let me turn off the R3/RS leave button.
A global option to say 'screw the leaderboards' that disables any design decision that was only made to maintain their integrity. Including the previously discussed option for Online play to turn off the countdown timers and limits on replays - to let people have friendly matches.
Auto-save. Totally unimportant right up to when the game bugs out really far into a match. Save every over and after every dismissal.
Better modding depth - it's essentially dead now, with the kit and bat slots being a huge limitation on being able to make all teams realistic. I wouldn't mind if this waited until after Patch 3 was delivered to consoles, but for the sake of longevity while we wait for the next edition, modding will keep things alive with the game.
