Spin Bowling Impression and questions..

[barmyarmy]

These screens sort of show it, albeit in two separate matches (it didn't switch back from legspin):

I wouldn't say they show leg spinners to be perfectly honest with you. They just look like balls that haven't turned at all in any way. It's a trick of perspective IMO, but the balls definitely appear to be following a straight path.

Well in which case the screens aren't showing the problem

Well 'C. Barmy' might explain it.

they look like leg spin to me!

First one was working properly as off spin; second one was where it switched to leg spin.

A Scotsman who bowls leg spin HA...I've seen it all now.

 

[barmyarmy]

It's okay. I was brought up bowling on proper wickets in Surrey...

my experience is that spin is sort of a broken system. i think it's quite rare for the "correct" input to come about.

out of interest, did you switch between over/around the wicket? i've noticed this certainly affects the delivery. did the action change or just the delivery?

Im not sure how many overs of spin I have bowled but I've taken nearly 1000 wickets and I have never once seen a ball not do what I told it to do. Whether it's over or around the wicket the ball spins the correct way and aims exactly where you tell it to go.

Tl:dr... You are doing it wrong.

I can bowl the exact same ball with the same joypad inputs and one spins into the stumps and the other ends up a wide. To both left and right handers. There is something strange going on here.

Can you write down the steps of your bowling??

Either your gamepad is broken or you are doing it wrong.

It's pretty much impossible to bowl a wide with a spin bowler.

The only way you can do it like you describe is to press a length button while you aren't choosing the delivery type.
.. the left stick must be moved and held when you press a b or y

I could be doing something wrong here. I went back and re-read the manual plus did the tutorial again.
The steps I take to bowl an offbreak are:
1. LS up and right
2. Length ball
3. LS rotate
4. RS up and left for release

I dont understand this..

 

[Jadel]

As long as 1 and 2 are concurrent then it's ok.

And 4 is... Not my favorite style, I bowl almost everything on the stumps. Leaving you bowled, lbw, caught behind and caught in the outfield. Bowling outside the line pretty much leaves you caught on the outfield.
