I just wanna post this to let everyone know who is working on the beta team and ofcourse our own Mattw that the game is heading in the right direction now after all these successive patches to the preview build. You may think its some foot licking guy, but I just feel like giving credit when its due. We were going on a rough period of time when there was no significant patches post-release of the game. But for the past month or so, the racking up of all these updates has taken the game to be surrealistic fun even in offline facing the AI.
I thought the adjustment made to the batting timing was great when it came, but slowly it dawned up on me that even the shot animations were rushed and facing a 160kph bowler was like that of a fast-medium bowler and I'm quite thankful it was tuned again to be more relevant but at the same time not supporting pre-meditation again. I'm quite surprised that how a tuning of AI's bowling(I rarely bowl to AI) and fielding can make a game so much immersive and quite challenging fun.
Also I'd like batting being shown the love as it was shown in the case of AI tuning and bowling. I know some batting issues are being worked on and I appreciate the effort all these guys are putting on a daily basis to make the game more and more fun for us. One thing I noticed since the game released is that the responsiveness of the shot played by the batsman. This may just be me being a rookie on batting but sometimes I feel like the shot and footwork I inputted was not entirely accurate for the shot played by the batsman.But the number of occasions I notice this is slowly reducing as the patches are being rolled out. Again huge thanks to everyone working for this game..
