In regards to spin, I just had a match where my front line spinner took 11 wickets in a test match, no real surprise there, so I've decided to just nuke my spinners attributes and they didn't take a wicket in the first innings of the next match, but still went a reasonable economy. So if in the 2nd innings they pick up a few wickets, maybe that's just what you have to do with spinners, just make them really only as good attribute wise as part timers which is around 45-55.
Yeh I'm extremely hesitant to reskill because I don't want to break the game but you may be right. I don't have the time or patience anymore to play longer formats so I'm narrowing in on the T20 format. I've gone a bit crazy and have expanded my fictional T20 league to 24 teams in 6 divisions consisting of a pool of 400 players. So I'm worried about reskilling all for nothing
Oh yeah that would be painful, I mean I'm only playing as one side, so whenever I start a new match i just rescale whatever spinner is in the side, leave the opposition spinners as quite strong because I play spin better than pace tbh, so it balances that side of it out when im batting
Wow you play spin better! I can't play spin at all unless I time the reverse sweep well enough . I do have a plan in mind for reskilling based on roles in t20 such as power play bowlers, anchors, death bowlers, pinch hitters and finishers, some similar to what wasteyouryouth has talked about previously. But i don't want to clutter this thread more than I already have. Maybe I'll create a new thread!
Fair play, impressive effort
Haha thanks, some teams may be slightly unbalanced due to me not knowing every player under the sun but I feel like every team has an identity and most of the overalls seem fairly balanced. If I complete a season Im going to introduce retirements as well as progression and regression based on some kind of formula. I will also introduce "regens" to keep things interesting.
Sounds good, you definitely need some sort of plan/agenda/story to keep you going in these games, otherwise I think the annoying bits get to you too much and stop you playing. Since Cricket 19 I’ve been doing England 08-11 which has basically been recreating every series and tournament in that time period, along with creating every team, kit and bat.
If you haven't already tried it, chat gpt is great for this kind of thing. You can feed basically whatever information you desire and it will throw you some good bits to add. For your play through with England it could be something similar to the strauss Peterson saga. Just something to add to to monotony of playing the games!
Yeah I’ve been considering something like this to enforce injuries and therefore rotation in the next thing that I do. I’ve not done anything like that this time around as I’ve been using the same line ups that played in the actual matches. Good idea though, keeps it fresh
