Latest build tested for few hours again (T20)
@MattW. Please don't hate me for repeating myself again lol.
Sorry guys, I might repeat the same points from last time but it's just for everyone to stay updated. I just want to make sure that everyone who is only on PS4 knows what is happening as I can understand their curiosity but since I play Ashes on both PC and PS4, I can relate to it much better.
First of all, great job again as usual.
Fixes
1) The edges were improved in previous update and I am definitely enjoying it even more now.
2) Those dropped catches are amazing as mentioned before.
3) The line and length bowled by Human bowlers is now making AI think which is what I wanted to see from a long time. It doesn't seem pre meditate now,
Example - If I bowl slow, they do get confused (specially if they loose quick wickets) and are under pressure. This is simply amazing
4) The lines bowled by AI bowlers are better
5) We do see Replays after every boundary which is back
6) Edges do carry to the keeper/slips which is amazing. I see that wickets are playing a big part in the gameplay.
7) Now if AI hits a ball in the air, it won't necessarily go for a six or a boundary. The odds of AI getting caught outside the circlet are a lot more which is
great to see as well
8) Variety of dismissals in a single game
Issues
1) Commentary issue
a) Every time if a ball bounces just in front of the fielder and if fielder misfields, commentator goes "Oh, he has dropped it" and they show a replay even if it's clearly not a catch.
b) On many occasions, the commentator goes "Did not time the ball in middle of the bat". Please fix that
c) Every time the commentator talks about field restrictions ending prior to the actual over. Ex- If restrictions end after 6 overs, commentator will announce that after 5 overs. This issue is there from a long time.
2) The animation for straight drive is still the same. (Looks like a cover drive but ball goes straight)
3) Scoop shot animation/power issues
4) Upper square cut animation looks weird. Can we add the late upper cut or something please?
5) Can we have top edges from a pull/hook/cut go for six. Haven't seen that happen yet.
6) The flick shot is going for bat pad (even on Ideal/Good timing) on many occasions. Please fix that.
7) The on side drive is a bit low on power. I personally felt that. Would like to see more people comment on that.
8) On many occasions, if there was a run out opportunity created at bowlers end, AI would throw the ball to the bowler rather than attempting a direct hit.
9) Not sure if we are getting replays for LBW's. Please take a look
Major Pending items (No updates from Big ant on that)
1) Batsmen turning back issue (going on from a long long time). Batsman is still taking time when a run is canceled on many occasions.
2) Batsmen still walks out of his crease when a ball is left
3) Commentary issues
a) When I hit a back foot pull, on few occasions the commentator goes "A back foot square cut"
b) When a new commentator is introduced, all they say is "hello, good morning" and go quiet. (They should talk a bit about the game)
This one could be an enhancement
c) Commentators must have some sort of discussions (game analysis, previous games, generic chat, cricket/non cricket related conversations) etc.
