I assume its to make bowling more challenging

I.e. if similar controls for pace and spin, you might get really good at bowling both types in a shorter space of time = less challenging and boring

however with completely different controls, it will take much longer to master both techniques = better challenge and more fun

Yes. We also didn't want people to just get a great muscle memory for one technique and then "rule" - this adds to the challenge.

Traditionally video games have one action however spin and pace are so very different in the real game and so we thought they deserved different actions.

It wasn't always the way, and I was sceptical on the rotational idea, Mike insisted that it would work and thankfully he was right.

I think as we start to go through the controls in detail you can understand why keyboard alone is not a reasonable control method for this game.

Ross, will it be possible for you or Mike to explain the controls using a video? I mean something similar to the following...
FIFA 13 Skill Move Tutorial - All Skills (Including New Skills) - PS3 - YouTube

I find it easier to follow when I can see the controller in action and I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the same boat.

That's very likely.

Just suggested this in the Career forum but probably a better idea to ask in the Q&A, if you are chosen as Captain can you choose not to accept it, or resign during your captaincy?

Great! Maybe the batting control description piece can come with a video coz batting would be the most complicated control mechanism IMO.

I don't know 100%, as in I can't remember, but I think you are anointed captain and I don't think you can decline it.

Thanks for the speedy reply! Bit of a shame but I suppose if you decline captaincy of an international team you didn't really deserve it in the first place..

I think it's more about progression on the lower levels.

Thats got me wondering how much of a part will you actually play as captain? As in will you get to do more than pick the bowler and set the field?

 

[gnanaprakash]

will batsman change his helmet and bat when he batting

 

[BigAntStudios]

No, you are stuck with the bat & helmet you chose at the start of the innings.

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

How about changing cap for spinners and helmet for fast bowlers?

 

[angad]

No, you are stuck with the bat & helmet you chose at the start of the innings.

Atleast allow to change the abdominal guard....we cant keep wearing the same one...specially with your game having no mechanics to relieve the itching that will follow!!!

Ross already confirmed it long time back that you can change between the cap and helmet!! Now, If he goes back on his word on anything.......well...Il just say I have contacts!! !!!
