[PCCL 2010] Feedback Thread

[Biggy]

Sohum, one thing in the scorecards, is when someone gets a c & b it says - c: PlayerA b: PlayerA instead of c & b: PlayerA

interesting to note cricinfo don't use a : - not that it matters.

Hmm... that should be a pretty easy fix. I just need to remember to do it.

Just want to say what a great thing this is! Enjoyed the match and the banter today! Not sure this is the right thread but thought I would say it anyway as I am new to the PCCL and all! Great work!

Another thing that slightly bugged me when watching the Wanderers vs Smashers game, was that in the second innings when trying to read the commentary tab for the second innings it always flicked back to the first innings one.

So you had to keep clicking on (in this case) the Smashers tab to read their commentary. Anyway this can be fixed?

Also, what's agenda on putting the most recent commentary in the 'summary' bar.

As someone said to me a few days ago, this is now the best cricsim league on the internet.

One thing I have noticed with the sim also, is that the opening bowlers tend to bowl out early, whether they are economical or not. Dunno what can be done about it, just an observation. Also, do the captains get to choose opening bowlers?

Hmm... recent commentary in the summary bar is something I forgot about.... oops.

It should be pretty easy actually. The commentary tab thing can also be fixed pretty easily.

Opening bowlers bowling out--I'll have to take another look at my logic for that to figure out what's going on. I can make the requirements more strict to bowl out.

That sort of thing doesn't really bother me as a captain, as to me if they bowl at for 4 an over in finish in the 8th over, then that only leaves them another 12 to try and score big. To me it means that it's pressure on from the off.

I guess the circumstance Biggy is pointing out is if they go at 8-10 an over and still bowl out, which I guess has happened a few times. My logic for determining that mixes wickets taken with economy. I may just have to adjust it to be a bit stricter.

The commentary tab thing was also an issue for me earlier, but now, watching The Sharks game, appears to be absolutely fine.

Yeah, after a while during our 2nd innings earlier it just refreshed back the top of the 2nd innings tab. To begin with it does go back to the first innings though.

Yeah, some were bowling out even when going at 10rpo and not taking any wickets, worth a test with stricter settings. The other thing I remember now is there is no commentary on wicket balls.

:laugh That was a weird conversation. Almost like it was an advertisement.

Just looked back at the conversation and you're right, it almost was like an ad. :laugh Free advertising for ya.

There is a bug in the sim. Well it was always there (from the times of cricsim), but isn't there a way to fix it? Despite of having 5 genuine bowlers, the sim randomly selects few 'Pure Batsmen' to bowl a couple overs. Like: the sim chose Simon and Iridium to bowl an over each today. This didn't make any difference in the result of the game (mainly due to Sharks being a pathetic team! ), but it still is an issue for concern.

You could always counter it by having 6 bowlers?

Well we can. In fact, that is the way I counter it as well. But surely there should be a way to fix it!
