Preset fields

I have created a preset field at the academy but when i go to play a casual game or online game its not available,what am i doing wrong?

Does it fit in with the rules of the game type you are playing? For example: in the first power play overs of an ODI fields with more than two outfielders won't appear.

Also: might you have put more than two guys behind square on the leg side? That's something that's universally not allowed in any form of the game, but since you can have match types in DBC that allows it then you can make fields like that...

Does anyone know if and how you can hit a slog sweep? I have tried L1 and L2 together but that ends up as a normal sweep shot.. anyone?

Anyone know (I'm guessing only one of the Big Ant guys can answer for definite) whether saving an innings and coming back to it has any negative impact upon the selection status in career mode? I'm in my second season and have started off really well in the 4 day game by scoring 4 100s and 5 50s in 12 innings averaging 72.64...but my current selection status for the AUS Domestic Shield is still only "Fair Way Off". I don't usually save and then quit or anything like that to bolster my scores it's just that I've lately played a lot in the evening after work and when I don't get to finish before going to sleep I just save it and then return to it the next day...I'm just wondering if maybe this is impacting on the status somehow and I should stop doing it?

i think 4 day seems to take longer to move. i've had a good start to the season with a hundred, 3 50s and a couple of 40s... overall got over 500 runs at 40 from 7 matches, still at no chance for either aus domestic or eng test.

Ok that's cool. It does make sense that it would take longer I just had a sudden thought that the way I was playing little periods here and there was effecting it. The status has literally not moved since the start of the season and I'm 4 hundreds later. It was more curiosity than anything else. I just really want to experience playing for another team now and of course then making the England team

I hope you have made the AI batting smarter instead of dumbing down the bowling.

Yes.

Saving/Loading has no impact on selection.

Yes

So no more 16 year olds averaging 10 with the ball after one season, and taking 5 wicket hauls every other game?

That would be possible but very unlikely.

 

[ethybubs]

That would be possible but very unlikely.

Will this affect current careers?

I don't think so. I sweep a lot but the power trigger seems to have no effect. If you time it right it'll still go to the boundary though.

I also can't charge and block like the AI does. Anyone pulled this off?

 

[BigAntStudios]

The new difficulty systems and AI will kick in immediately regardless of new or old career.

@ Ross
How is the patch shaping up and when should we expect it to release?

It will be in June along with the PC release, perhaps before but not by much.
