This game really confuses me! Sometimes its can be all over the place. Just played a full ODI Aus v SA and then the game shows what it can do!!
South Africa (AI) 222 all out after 49.3 overs
Australia 223-8 after 42.4 overs
Aus were 99-6 untill Johson joined Watson and both ticked the scorecard over to reach 100 partnership (unlocked Columbo) lol!
Watson goes for 49 and the tailenders stay with Johnson to see Aus home with Johnson 72 not out!
Now i had LOADS of fun in this game. Was a challenge and very enjoyable!
The AI attacked every now and then and continued to go at 5 an over.. blocking then hitting out when they felt like it.
Again the offspinner reeks havoc! Hauritz this is... Now, he went at 5 an over but picked up 4 wickets! To be honest, 2 were caught at long on with Smith (72) attacking late on and Kallis (9 off 32 balls) having a total mere!
Other 2 were stumped and bowled! I also have yet to see the AI run down the pitch at me!
Once again choosing not to throw at an end seems to eliminate the run outs for me. The SA batsmen just getting in.
With the attempt to fix this bug, i think i saw Sureshot say they refuse 1's down to long on etc!
Crazy as this may seem it is correct, Spinner on long on and long off back 6 shots down there and only 3 singles taken?! Could have been 6 comfy singles!!!
I have also noticed that when you set a custom field the AI forget to bat and leave/defend everything.
However when i reverted back to a dafault field they once again began to push the ball around looking far more comfortable!
One thing i did notice, which may have been coinsidence (apologies for spelling) was when Smith was in and set on 60 odd, when he was left with the tail he decided to tea off! Resulting in a flurry of 4's and couple of 6's boosting SA from 200 to 221! Now it seemed like he new Parnell was not going to hang around for too long!
There are certain custom fields you can set that completely stuff the AI!
Good game though! lol im trying to really play the game hard and see what works and what doesn.
IF transmission did pop up with a patch it would be such a good move from them as this game is a few tweaks away from being very enjoyable.. sadly the few tweaks that need fixing can really ruin it for some people. Which i can understand completely!
Onto another test to see what happens!!
