Suggestion to have replays after successful LBW appeal with Hawkeye and hotspot will be great addition

Can the leave button on Standard controls be changed from R3 to L3? Getting to R3 from the face buttons is close to impossible without premeditation.

Yeah,the batsmen seem to be getting back to the crease a little quicker now.

But after cancelling run batsmen take time to think whether they should return to the crease or stay there :P

I have selected A as leave from general settings

I guess it's only for classic controls.

Yes, currently there is no use with R3 being leave button.
Also it would be better if they change LT for unorthodox shots instead of RB. Its bit difficult to change from unorthodox to normal shot if it is a button instead of toggle.
Or else RB should be used as press n hold instead of using it like just press button.

batting camera broadcast 1 and running camera broadcast 2.

Running camera broadcast 2 is good but only problem in this is that it will show the opposite view for every first ball of the over. Does this happen to you?

Agree with you, wish the unorthodox(R1) and Grounded (L1)shot button were 'Hold' instead of 'Toggle'. But the Leave button being R3 is just pointless.

I know this is of little benefit to console users but on Steam, if you use a Steam Controller (which is excellent for Ashes) you can configure the buttons and triggers to anything you want and also toggle between different control settings for batting and bowling. It works really well. If you are on PC, I would recommend picking up a Steam Controller and giving it a go.

You can set a 360 as a steam controller and configure that also.

Thanks, but I'm on PS4.

Easy six hitting is back. I played a test match as Aus against Eng with pro hard and enabled the sliders. Glenn maxwell after getting confidence green did hit every ball on lofted shot for sixes easily .But Bancroft lofted and given a catch in the deep square leg. I some what lost interest in hitting sixes.

No man except the advanced shots hitting sixes are not easy. As I am playing in legend and normal mode.
Please try in veteran and hard mode atleast.
I hope that issue will be resolved. and u can increase the slider for bowling . like pace bowling swing and pace bowling revolutions to 70 or something. that will give u a little more challenge.

@MattW Great work once again. Couple of questions though.
Does the super over fixes batting line up issue and the field restriction bug?.
Are the sweep shots tuned as well?
