By on drives you mean the leg glance shots?If yes, that might come down to controller thing as its an issue where the controller sticks dont have proper response to the place its placed [Faced by me too on using the playmax controller]
Also about the outside off hitting on onside is something that we dont do in general...I for example play to its credit, so expecting ABD style batting from me isnt possible...
But thanks for trying it out..

Yeah , i didn't try to play deliveries going to outside offstump which either i leave mostly or play offside but ball pitching on middle or off stump line in good length or full length and swinging outwards (outswing) that i tried to flick or glance then it must have either mistimed edge or play and miss (it's good in DBC17) but here weird batting animation taking place. Both pace and spin bowling. Apologies to BA and beta team for raising the same issue again and again in this forum.I hope it is being fixed.

It will stop happening if you increase your level to hard or hardest. the thing you mentioned happens at medium difficultly level as it provides assistance with shot selection so when you play a ball which is outside off stump on the leg side the assited shot making comes into play and shows a cover drive animation but since your input was for the leg side the ball goes thr. One solution to this problem is to play at higher difficulty where shot selection is not assisted.

Well i am playing with veteran hard hard difficulty. Everything is fine tuned and excellent except that single weird animation.

Its a glitch in the animation chosing system , nothing to do with difficulty level , Mattw already mentionted that it is under observation , hopefully it will get sorted out.

Pro Cam is not stable while batting in second innings (ODI). When AI starts to bowl the Cam moves sideways.

@MattW @HBK619 One feature that I feel disappointed was not a part of the Academy (which is exceptional otherwise) is how one has to assign 16 stadium adboards to each stadium one by one. If we have 70-odd stadia in the academy, that means having to assign more than 1000 adboards individually. Rather, if one had the ability to create adboard sets (countrywise) which could be directly assigned to the stadia, it would cut down the time drastically. Why I suddenly got irked by this is because I had to reset my Xbox and after getting back, it takes ages to set the game up. If it could make its way into some of the future updates, it would be great. Otherwise, there is always the next game.

The implementation scheme would be something like this:

i)Within the stadium creator, include an option called 'Create Adboard Sets'.
ii) Under this option, allow one to have multiple global presets which could be labelled by the user, say 'India Test Ads 1', 'England ODI Ads 1','ICC Ads' etc. Allow one to assign adboards, boundary rope ads, pitchads, stumps ets for each preset. Maybe even limit the presets to 20 or so if its a memory related limitation.
iii) While editing the stadia, allow the user to just directly assign these presets from a dropdown menu. Now, instead of assigning 16 of those ads each time, I just assign all Indian stadia the preset called 'India Ads 1' or something and get it done in a jiffy.
iv) If the user still wants to have custom ads to be assigned to each individual stadium, have an option called 'Assign Manually' in the stadium creator. Otherwise, the user chooses 'Assign from Adboard Preset'.

Hope this feature makes it through in order to add to the exceptional quality of the academy. The game is currently brilliant as well in terms of its test gameplay. Hats off to BA.

This bug has been listed previously and I think yet to be rectified...very important issue

 

[MattW]

There's a new update available for the preview.

- Fixed issue with logos not displaying in online matches
- Further tuning to stamina
- Adjustments to edge occurrences
- General stability improvements

Please keep comments to the updates themselves, not requests/wishlists.

Welcome the addition / tuning of fixed cameras in practice modes...

Also the sound of bat hitting the ball in the nets is so sweet to the ears the echoic effect ...amazing since the DBC 14 days

However while playing in the training under my ongoing career mode player (batsman), the pitch marker is not shown despite being enabled in the settings....

I have not yet checked in the main training modes but this is in the career mode training mode...

@MattW hopefully you will fix the same.....

Thanx for all the efforts to improve the game///

Thank god! I thought it was just me with the logo issue in online, cheers!

Thanks for reporting it.

I have a doubt with playing online co-op mode, when we set the match difficulty say to 'legend' or 'veteran' does it change the way the AI performs. I know in offline we have separate difficulties for both our timing and for the AI as 'match difficulty', was just curious what the match difficulty option does when we play co-op mode. I used to play with legend difficulty with my buddy, today we reduced it to veteran but the AI was still behaving(bowling) like how it used to be in Legend.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reporting it.

@MattW can you please check the offline co-op pull shot issue (wrong direction)
