hiya!!
hey maites...i have eventually done the AI patch for ODI...and am currently playing a game between new south wales and western australia in ING cup with the patch right now...i have fixed the problems i had with it!! and its working kewl...i never really thought it wuld come oh so good... there are is a hint of intelligence and integrity in the way the cpu goes about it,juz like never seen before... i am really impressed myself with the way the patch has been working...the current match scenario is like i played as WA and batted first...i juz whacked some booming hits straight up,thanks to gilly...he scored some brisk runs for me..and then i juz gave autoplay in the middle of the innings and then played the last few overs (because i wanted to juz test the way CPU goes about it)...i made juz bout a good score on a seaming track....253 was my final total,if my memory serves me right! the CPU is now at 145-4(30 overs) i bowled every ball and never gave autoplay since i wanted to see how the cpu playes...whenever a wicket fell and i was looking for another one..i was dissapointed cuz the cpu played with a hint of caution combined with aggression after every wicket fall..thats was pleasing...i will soon upload the screens(surely..As soon as possible) and the videos (if am able to upload it,cuz each of 'em is 150 to 175 MB,i will try to cut down the video and try to upload in compressed format as soon as possible..but the flack is that videos cant often be cut down to smaller filesize even when compressed,i guess u might know it too!!)
HERE IS THE AI PATCH THOUGH(only for one dayers in normal and hard mode)
Highlights:
1 - the premise importance has been given to intriguing gameplay and intensity of AI..because for me,that has been the most lacking department of this game
2 - the CPU starts of with a bang from the word go..but then after eventual fall of wickets,judges the scenario perfectly and playes accordingly
3 - If it happens to be like one of the batsmen at the crease is in seemingly scintillating touch,the other just rotates the strike over and plays with a v-bit of caution combined with moderate hittting
4 - the seam movement is all the more prominent and at times extremely difficult to tackle at the beginning of the innings and and the ball starts reversing gradually as the ball gets older
5 - the spin has been tweaked to realistic breaks and u hafta really give it an ultimate rip to turn an odd one like "warney" used to do in the early mid 90's
6 - hitting on the rise and against line is all the more difficult in hard mode till u find ur touch,so try playing orthodox cricket till u get into the groove(though its rather v-bit possible with medium mode for advanced gamers)
7 - Prolific willowers like sachin(there is one and only sachin in my book),the laras and the waughs find it rather easier to whack bowlers apart,compared to moderate drivers in the likes of the chanderpauls and the vaughans
In a sentence,this is a kinda gameplay that i wished to cook up(though i will notice the bugs and fix 'em up in the beta version along with the fields-i got some truly realistic fields that i use..i will upload 'em as soon as possible)
cheez!!!!
