Hi guys I'm new here and really looking forward to the game. I'm really sorry if these questions have been asked already, it's just I wouldn't know where to start looking in the 200 + pages to find them ha!
If anyone knows anything about the following, I'd be really grateful if you'd reply.
1) I know it was probably a unique fault to Ashes 2009 [codemasters] though when you advanced down the wicket, your player would often not return automatically. The automatic return was slower [EA sports cricket 2007] as it should be, but without one it had a really annoying feature of you forgetting sometimes and players throwing and hitting the stumps.
2) Sorry, perhaps this is more a critique of Ashes 2009 but this game doesn't have phenomenal fielding. I.e, hypothetically speaking a poor run choice does not lead to the wicky hitting the wicket from throwing the ball in his backdrop position [against pace we're talking a fair way away] 10/10? Furthermore, it wasn't just the wicky, fielders seemed to have a proposterous ability to throw and hit the stumps nigh on every time. Will this be similar in the Big Ant games?
3) I remember bowling a good line and length over none stop on Ashes 2009 and getting hit for in excess of 10 and over. Will there be a more appropriated run rate to game formats?
4) Again, another critique of Ashes 09 but curious it may feature here. Please don't have an AI which bowls a silly amount of extras. I was playing Ashes 2009 the other day in all 3 formats and generally speaking I averaged 1 extra per over, an absurd rate by anyones measure.
5) This was really the main point, sorry for all the diffused criticisms of your rivals! In EA sports cricket 2007 they had a sublime feature which allowed you to control the power of your shot with the right analog stick, as in the further you pushed it towards it's limits the harder it would go. The net result being you could place the ball and didn't need to play the single/boundary all the time but would be able to craft a master innings. Do you have anything like that on this game, as I read somewhere that you are doing the 2 analog stick shot selection which is great!
6) Finally, what is the situation with shots, It tends to be that you can never do a kneeling drive, advanced shot over mid-on, non advanced shot over mid-on etc. Are there capabilities for doing so on this game?
Sorry for wasting your time if these area already answered, please just skip on ahead. Nonetheless, wish you the best with the release and I can't wait!
