Has anybody used the advance button to play a well timed shot? I get late miss mostly.

I think it's a bit underpowered/underused at the moment. Seems like it's only there to attack spinners in the air.

The trick to the advance button believe it or not is to do it as you hear the beep...that's pretty much what an advanced shot is, taking a chance.

 

[Biggs]

Yeah, it's totally a premeditated shot...

but u cannot advance before the ball is bowled

It would be good to have the option of dabbing the ball after advancing to a spinner to negate the turn and bounce.

Serious question regarding Rumbling of XBOX 360 control.
Ross, the pad rumbles sometimes vigorously and sometimes slowly in a random manner. It sometimes vibrates when I time the ball with red circle ideally. Or play the ball with yellow circle late.
I am not sure but the sound of the edge seems to be coming from the controller, but it is not vibrating.
Am I the only one with the problem?

Try the advanced shots only for spin or medium pace. And for fun try the advanced shot against spin in pro cam. It is a treat.

Yes you can.

 

[Punk_Sk8r]

Don't know what type of cricket you watch or play

Yup. For fast bowling pre meditate and advance simultaneously as it releases. You will mostly miss if you end up outside the line but would have the highest chances of hitting it if you are inside the line and power it to the off side. Flicking to leg is possible and have done it at ideal timing but only once. All others hit my pad.
For spinners its easy to know your line but hard to hit it for six(harder modes) it goes very flat. Here you need to wait for the ball to release and after say a maximum of 1 second advance.
At Rookie level you will notice the ball rocketing to the roof.
Always try a particular shot with the marker initially to know your options for that length.

I think the marker will be really useful in career mode. When you get out for a certain delivery and set it at the nets and rectify your mistake.

From professor sibi to coach sibi!

 

[Gozmit]

Yes you can.

i never seen a batsman advances before ball is bowled in real cricket, if u can then most certainly u miss it

 

[ChinamanSpin]

Obviously you have never watched t20 cricket then?

Gayle and Pietersen are two players who advance frequently.

advancing and moving a foot around are 2 different things

and more over specifying ,how u can advance to a fast bowler before he bowled,referring to net session in CA,advance shot to be played after the beep and before ball is delivered from machine to connect ,which is unrealistic .

It was mentioned in another thread about Lyons ball to Swann today which hit a crack and deviated massively. Have variable bounce and freak balls from hitting cracks been included in the game at all?
