I have been one of the whiners who have complained on the difficulty in batting and even worried about wasting money in this game for a brief period of time.
But The level of assistance and support provided by big ant for this game is astonishing and i agree with a post that any cricket lover not playing this game is wasting some thing. wow! First hats off to the good minds of people designing this game and for the abundance of options which i have seen and not even able to explore yet. I have even designed a multi team 2 innings one day tournament but could not play due to this even more addictive Career option. The BAs constantly communicating here deserves a special hats off and you people are REALLY good. Appreciate your professional ethics in making us welcome in reaching out to you.
The latest patch fixed a few things i was really struggling with .. Mainly the stroke play has been made a bit easier [though the AI (Thor/iron man like fielders) fly and pouch single handed screamers when the ball is in the air], and i feel it is making the game closer to reality. Slam bam dash cant be possible starting with Pro level, but still we can have a SR of 200 with planned off drives, on drives, shots between EC and Long off, flicks to square leg and MWkt and occasional glides to third man. I made 85 of 43 balls with 1 six and 8 fours in veteran level. my earlier HS was 35 off 50 something before the patch. The patch has not made batting darn simple but it made it little easier to play with proper footwork and less aggression. And i can take atleast 4-6 wickets with bowling proper deliveries based on the weakness of the AI batsman, (As a SLA i bowl (good length) Googly , googly, topspinner and a googly for a front foot weakness and (full/short length) flighted off breaks and full drifters to back foot weaknesses)
also regarding the New patch in PC , if the pattern followed is correct ( i.e Previous patch took 2.5 weeks after PC deploy) should we be bracing ourselves for a new interim one in October first week ?
Neverthless, u have made this game absolutely relishable and even if i play for an hour a day , the happy feelings lingers the mind.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !! and please sweep us off the feet with ur patch 3.
