PC version 1.15.x discussion/bug reporting thread

[The_Pharoah]

Oh really? Yeah I'm hoping BA can put in a sort of global change rather than having to individually adjust every players' stats. I started using BlockerDave's thread and downloaded/edited all my players and batting lineups (shield/Matador cup/international/etc) then suddenly...4 hours had gone!! lol. Funny enough though...I quite enjoyed it. But I do realise, if thats just to edit batting lineups (and find/download new players, etc)...man, having to edit individual player attributes would take forever (by the time I'm done DB16 will probably be out! lol).

Playing a Test match on veteran level after updating to Version 1.15.12
Six one handed catches from Joe Root fielding at silly mid on.
I'm not complaining obviously, but does it seem a little excessive? Has anyone had this many catches by one player?

 

[chaman82]

what did u press for the square drive plz?

For front foot square drives
Las at 12 clock
Ras at 3 o clock

For back foot square drives.
Las at 6 o clock
Ras at 3 o clock

 

[The_Pharoah]

yeah that sounds like theres some sort of balancing thing that needs to be done. Having said that you do get a few catches at silly mid on from good fast bowling.

also I see you've dropped Rogers.

Started a new England v Australia Test match on veteran level. Version 1.15.12
Just had my first ever crash to desktop immediately after 'a big shout for LBW' when batting as England.
I also seemed to be scoring more freely than usual (I normally only play on pro level) scoring at about 7.12 for nine overs before the crash.

@HBK619 In case there are no more Crash reporting since yesterdays update (Version 1.15.12), can we expect the latest patch to be released for all by Today? We are playing an Online Tournament with old version, so cant constantly move back and forth between 2 versions...If possible release the latest patch to all..

Version 1.20.0.

Update notes are as follows:

• Resolve one field being chosen by AI in rare circumstances. [\QUOTE]

Can you expand on this? do you mean the issue where the AI only picks the same fields over and again?

 

[fiction]

what exactly does this mean?

Pressing R3 won't make your batsman leave the ball. We changed this after receiving feedback from people that they were inadvertently pressing R3 while trying to play a shot.

There was a bug where the AI was choosing and only using one field no matter where the shots were going.

Pressing R3 won't make your batsman leave the ball. We changed this after receiving feedback from people that they were inadvertently pressing R3 while trying to play a shot.

And just to make sure people don't think we removed it entirely. Leave is still on the A button.

 

[weeramanthrie]

just played a brief 10 overs of a casual test match. but im afraid the issue with AI picking a single field still persist. but its only in tests. In ODIs the field changed after 3 balls of hitting lofted shots on to the same area.

 

[blockerdave]

I think leave on A means you can only leave premeditated.

Leave should be both sticks straight down; can play that on the hoof, doesn't interfere with any other controls, shouldn't play it by accident to any ball likely to hit stumps

 

[grkrama]

^easy to play a late cut though by mistake when pulling both sticks down . its fine i would say, for myself i have reconfigured it to LB and LB to A. sort of works for me as i premeditate sweeps mostly.

Playing the wrong shot is user fault, pressing too hard (as now) is design fault.

Having to premeditate sweep, as you say not much of an issue. Premeditate leave, a big issue

Could you just classify a defensive shot where the stick is pressed up as a leave? It's something that otherwise would never be done I think? (As no-one would try to block towards their stumps?)
