PC Public Preview Update Now Available

[Langeveldt]

Any more feedback on ODI bowling? At least we've had a catch in the deep ...

 

[Mr Snrub]

That catch on the boundary looks great. That's what we need more of!

True, looks great and need a few more of them, but I bet if on semi-assisted or manual, the user still would've had nothing to do with the catch at all.

Oh, I was thinking it was on Legend.

I am playing on pro difficulty and batsman starting confidence is green right from the first ball he is facing.

That's a really weird idea... It feels like an idea from someone at the ECB.

But once in a while they clicked right one

"Jos Buttler, Dom Bess earn England calls; James Vince dropped"

Dom Bess is new spinning master ...

I got a chance to test the gameplay for few hours. Below are the issues

1) When I try and hit a cover drive, the ball goes straight. Sometimes I try and hit a straight drive, then animation that’s used is a cover drive. Please add a straight drive animation.
2) When I play a sweep shot, the ball goes towards the opposite side
3) Sometimes I try to hit it toward on side and it goes towards off side
4) No power in 3rd man late cuts. It’s pretty much the same. Square cuts have been improved
5) Ball is still passing through the bat
6) I believe the running issue has not been touched.

Hey mate,

How was your overall experience with human batting and bowling in limited overs ?

Yeah no complaints on human bowling as swing, seam and spin are good. But human batting have problems with the inclusion of few weird shot animations and lack of front foot pull shot.

Hi everyone,

We've been working with the beta team on some updates, and we're ready to show off some of the progress made so far.

There is a build available right now on PC that you can opt in to on steam and try this out to give feedback.

To opt-in, right click the game in steam and select properties. Then select the 'Betas' tab, and select 'preview', then click close. This will then download the update containing the fix for this issue. You may need to restart Steam before this option will show in the list.

Update notes for this preview build are as follows:

- Added reset academy options
- Added option to have a real bowler as well as bowling machine for nets/ground training
- Added HUD enable/disable option to settings menu
- Enabled more cameras in ground training mode
- Fixed issue with uniforms not displaying logos
- Tuned stamina/confidence
- Tuned fielding, including wicketkeeper reactions
- Tuned edges
- Tuned AI batting
- Tuned ducking
- Tuned batting timing windows
- Online: Custom logos will be maintained after resuming save
- Academy: Can add players to teams with incomplete lineups
- Commentary/Sound improvements

And more to come!

Note: As this is a pre-release preview, there may be incomplete things. As a precaution back up your save data prior to switching to this preview release.

Please report bugs about this build in this thread, to avoid confusion with the console version.

To pre-empt the obvious question - I can't give a timeframe on this patch coming to console, and would rather that console stuff is discussed in another thread.

Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts on this update below.

add count of sixes and fours hit in an innings in the score display HUD. please

@WealeyH

which ground?

 

[Spoobir]

what mode was this ? . how did you get lost overs? .

always wondered why scoreboard suddenly says fine weather after initial report before toss might have cloudy etc

Casual mode. I think I picked "Showers" for the rain chance.

Eh, I have seen some catches at mid-on/mid-off before. Never seen one by long-on/long-off though.

which ground?

Edgbaston.

Absolutely top drawer from first ball to last.

Plenty of edges and panic stations at 157-1.

Lyon ineffective.

Gorgeous gorgeous Bowled from Hazelwood and then the two set batsmen got done by Beauties.

De Villiers then edges about 6 balls to safety and I felt I had a great chance.. he nicked Lyon close to the new ball and then Lyon clean bowled Bavumba.

The new ball caused chaos with the edge being found frequently including a big inside edge off a morkel drive crashing into the stumps.

I had TWO... only Two lofted drives. Felt so so good.. 1’s and 2’s and proper accumulation. So satisfying.

The run rate is brilliant. Thats a very realistic scorecard there

4) No power in 3rd man late cuts. It’s pretty much the same. Square cuts have been improved
.

So its partially fixed?
