Spin Bowling Impression and questions..

[Jadel]

I have the same issue. Not a fan of the spin bowling system to be honest. Besides it ruining my DS3, it feels clunky and non-intuitive to me.

I cant believe there are actually three of you that are spouting this nonsense.
If you are truly destroying your controllers then either you or your hardware have some serious problems. (/insert Picard facepalm here)

only wish you could actually see the turn.

Im not sure what you are looking at that you dont see the turn/swing/drift. There is at least as much as in real life its almost too much. Of course its dependent on the pitch , the ball and the bowler but its not hard to see.

I can't seem to get above 1000 RPMs no matter how much I try...

Im not sure what you are doing. Ive explained how to do it enough I think.
Your career spinner will suck at the start but even a part timer can get ~1500rpm the very first delivery he bowls.

Perhaps you are only bowling leg breaks? That would explain why you think it doesnt turn and you dont get much rpm.

...you still need to time the last turn with the RAS up (or left/right) - if you don't you get 180rpm

Not true. Sure, the maximum rpm comes from timing it correctly but even if you did 3 really quick turns, released the LAS and waited for RAS input you wold get 80+% of your normal rpm. 180 is what you get if you do nothing at all or spin it the wrong direction.

No wonder, at least now i know that you own a BMX. I'll keep that in mind when i reply to your posts

good one...

for those saying it doesn't turn...

this is in australia and as you can see the pitch isn't very crumbley or anything, and with a 16 year old career mode player so not even half way maxed out skills.

I mostly decided to record these because, my, are they peaches. perfect doosras. the turn isn't obvious but you can see very clearly where it's beat the batsman as he's pushing at the angle the balls going in, takes off stump in the first, the edge in the second.

 

[Jadel]

Yeah nice drift and turn. And consider that the doosra and the leggie dont turn nearly as much as the drift or slow drift balls

 

[zombieian]

Yes, it's beaten the bat, but that isn't the sort of turn that people want to see. To make leg spin bowling a more attractive and exciting option, they would like to see the sort of turn that Shane Warne achieved.

I've noticed that some of your posts on this forum seem unnecessarily abrasive. It's just a game. Calm down and have a nice day.

 

[Jadel]

That's the thing, it already does turn like warnie, for the bowlers with warnie level skill.

Are you looking for "ball of the century" every time?

You don't get those I guess probably due to nothing like holes or cracks in the pitch

Even on your pro you should get some decent turn and hes a 16 year old beginner.

Edit: im pretty happy with my level of abrasivness. That said I can understand if you don't want to go for a beer.

It's a stupid thing to say that turning the control stick around slowly 3 times is "destroying your controller"
Pointing that out isn't necessary but at the same time it is true so why not?

Either way, my posts are heavily weighted toward helpful or at least neutral so I'll sleep easy.

BTW the old post you wrote was fine. I don't have a thin skin. Abrasive maybe, hypocritical.. No

I've not seen any massive turn or swing on any videos. Please show me one!
The game has to have excitement as well as being playable. If swing or spin has to be exaggerated a little, so be it. It will keep people returning to the game.
My career player is a fast bowler/batsman but I'm not getting a nice warm feeling inside when I bowl someone. The ball hits the stumps at 85-90mph (if he's just started his spell), falls to the base of the stumps and the stumps nearly always react as though they are concreted into the ground.

 

[Jadel]

That last bit is really true but that video on general discussion is cool

Massive turn? Maybe not. Realistic and impressive turn Yeah.

Massive swing yeah I think so

I dont think exaggerated will keep people playing the game, if anything it might do the opposite

 

[zombieian]

I said "exaggerated a little". Nothing major, but enough to make it worthwhile having a career as a spinner. Drift, spin and swing was superb in the final PC nets beta after much tweaking by BigAnt. I don't know why it isn't the same in the game. I know I keep mentioning the last release of the CA nets, but I thought that, after much input from members of Planet Cricket, it was great. I feel that the amount of movement has been toned down for the game, which is a shame in my humble opinion.

Please show me a video of a spinner turning it like Warne or a quickie swinging it like Anderson and I will be happy.

Totally agree - dislike the spin bowling system - and really not good for the health of the controller!

D

 

[TheJF]

I have to say that I genuinely prefer the spin bowling system to the seam bowling system. Absolutely loving playing as my no. 8 finger spinner at the moment

Yeah nice drift and turn. And consider that the doosra and the leggie dont turn nearly as much as the drift or slow drift balls

After spending lots of hours bowling leggies, I don't see a lot of turn. Sure I'm only into my first year (career mode) and am getting around 1000rpm's (thats another story), however I should be able to see something. I'd say about 80% of balls I bowl are standard leg break which SHOULD turn (just like in the video). Maybe I'm expecting a bit more than is currently modelled...I don't know. But even a part time leggie can get turn, esp if it hits the seam nicely. I've seen many a legbreak bounce and turn right okay yes I've gotten a number of wickets that way so I shouldn't complain, however thats the googly which I sure as hell didn't bowl.

You probably are correct though re the type of ball (ie. drift/slow having more turn). Will go and experiment more.

Ive seen a few balls turn mostly from the drift balls but they really only hold there line! I want to be able to bowl a shane warne style stock ball with the odd ripper but its not there! I love the game but the spin bowling lets it down! A wee bit more turn or spin or whatever you want to call it and this game would be ace!

 

[Jadel]

Hold their line !

I'd say it drifts about two wickets widths and turns about 1. That's pretty impressive.

It doesn't do anything llike that on stock balls though which is weird.

I'd say there is either something wrong with your eyes or your T.V.
