Patch 3 Requests/Wishlist

[blockerdave]

Am I the only one thinking there will be no patch three? Big Ant have surely made nearly all of the sales they are going to with this product, and I'm sure they have different projects on the go. It's been a year since release and we've had no word on a patch for, well six months since the last one. I reckon they've achieved what they wanted to with this title. True they told us 3 was going to be released, but things change.. You know EA told us Sim City was going to be fun to play.

i imagine the delay is because, for the reasons you've mentioned, they'd like this to be the last patch for this iteration, or at least the last one for a significant length of time.

i also imagine that if they are looking at things like AI performance, these are not minor tweaks and require significant development and testing.

I hope that's the case.. I only have one concern with the whole game, and for me its a gamebreaker. (AI batsmen being too generic when it comes to innings pacing and skill, no matter what attributes they have)

They are commited to patch 3 and will deliver. They have lots of pans on the go. Lets face it; they are damned if they something and damned if they dont. They have gone for the last option; at least that saves them the bother of answering all the Petty shite; they have and they are collating all the bugs and wishes and will work with a beta team to get the right balance. Its taking time and a lot longer than we may have thought or wanted: but just like the day that KP once more scores a century for England......come it will....

Camera View: This is the one thing in the game that I have the most trouble with.

Can you please include a view Behind the umpire that stays fixed on the batsmen. The current camera angles move and this makes it difficult to judge length and direction. The broadcast view is to far behind to judge the spin bowling and the far behind bowler swings and do not stay fixed.

Thanks for your consideration

I agree that there should be more camera angles or there should be a slider from where we can set the camera angle.

 

[grkrama]

more than more camera angles what i would feel best is static camera angles like in nets, which is why most are able to judge better in nets than in game, there are times when i find moving camera angle in behind batsman a bit irritating and screws judging a bit and adds a layer of artificial difficulty to overcome

You are on!

Batting :

1. Square cuts and square drives are not realistic as real cricket.
2. Shots advanced down the track on pace bowlers gets no timing and strength.
3. Bowling with spinners as there is no role of short leg position fielder as there is lack of edges.
4. I have not seen any run outs from the AI batsman as they always runs perfect....hahaahaa, please make it real.

Fielding :

1. Wkt keeper should be able to come up to the stumps on medium pace bowlers.
2. There is no role of first slip as wicket keeper dives unrealistically when batsmen edges.
3. AI automatically creates its own field having 3 fielder on offside and remaining on the leg side
4. While there should be a fielding RADAR when the AI field changes.
5. Custom field setups should have more options placement wise as currently we have very less options.

Bowling :

1. There is very less amount of sharp spin and turn for the spinners with 4-5 star bowler as there is no difference between 2-3 level star spinners and 4-5 level.
2. There are lack of edges from AI batsmen.
3. Seam bowling have less variation of the pitch.
4. There should be a slight vision of bowl seam(thread or line) style(out swing or in swing or wobbled seam) while bowl release from hand and till it gets landed on pitch

Camera Angles :

1. Broadcast camera angle needs to be much more improved as it should be straight from the back of the umpire and stumps and on spinners its very far.
2. There should be a custom camera options to make our own camera angle.

Online Game play :

1. Bowl carrying to the keeper feels as ball is not collect but in fact it does.

There is definately noticeable spin and swing on the higher levels!

There is definately noticeable spin and swing on the higher levels!

What about the rest of the options?I think you are very satisfied with the game.

I think you are very much satisfied with the current game play!

 

[cooks1st100]

There is noticeable swing and spin on all levels.

I guess ragson isn't the most observant otherwise he would have noticed the patch 3 wishlist thread instead of creating a new one!

I agree with the swing bowling but not the spin as there is only a drift no spin. I think you are not aware of the turning pitches in India subcontinents.
