I can live with them happening in limited overs because I don't have close fielders and it feels like a miss hit shot into the pads is something that could happen in a T20 or ODI. In test matches and other longer form games for me there are too many aggressive shots. I'm finding more and more variety with with dismissals, which is great, but a lot still seem to be lobs to the in field or the bat pad hoick creating the catching opportunity at for close fielders.
It might seem self-defeating of me to choose not to play long form matches because of it but I'm kind of getting to that point. Setting fields that make it easy for the AI just takes away the fun for me. I'm not saying for a minute this is the Big Ant attitude, if they want to resolve it they will try, but some people seem to think that pretending it's not there is an acceptable solution. Which in doing removes the legitimate bat pads anyway if there's no one there catching. It's like saying you can't play wing-backs on PES because the AI can't mark them properly. At what point do you stop making accommodations by not having particular fielders? I've caught these at silly mid on, primarily, but I've taken them at short leg, silly mid off, short mid wicket and one caught and bowled. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a keeper catch in there too with the way they move around sometimes.
I'm really enjoying bowling in general, T20 matches all round, ODIs when I've played them and batting in test matches too. So I'd probably just stick to them if I find that this continues. Bat all innings of a test or simulate as others have suggested.
Frankly, I'm boring myself by continuing to go on about it so I'm sure everyone else is tired of hearing about it. IF I post again about it please delete it or ban me.
