Played last night after yesterday's patch
Career Mode as Batting allrounder (wrist spinner)
Batting - custom
Bowling - Medium
Several improvements compared to the state before the patches
Few observations as under;
* the cut shot seems a visual treat to watch...(dont know if it is due to the patches or because i upgraded from easy to custom in batting) Just love to see my career player hitting the square cut in the gap to short stuff & even good length on occassions...As good as real
*More frequent balls deceiving the AI batsmen than before (while bowling as wrist spinner in career mode)
*More nicks & edges & as a result got 3-4 dismisals as bat pad & caught behind
* AI batsman try to play & attack (down the track) especially in flighted deliveries (observed 2 to 3 times)
*The custom field doesn't reset like before (however after a wicket the field is reset for that new batsman. So i guess the custom field must be for that specific batsman only until he is not out )
* While bowling several deliveries deceived the AI batman & went inches above the stumps...indicating too much bounce even though I had bowled a normal spin deliveries.
It happened 5-6 times...I rechecked the gameplay modifiers & they were at their default values...especially the pitch / ball bounce & friction. This was on a pitch which was soft- worn - with heavy cracks.
* ball stuttering has increased a lot than ealier

, after the patches have started & have tried tweaking the graphics too but of no avail...(some improvement only when i played at lower resolution & disabled Fullscreen). I am sure BA will smoothen out the ball stuttering as the patches come out...as they did in DBC 14 too..
* the new broadcast camera is great

especially when used in the running camera.. However on rare occasssions when the batsman defends a delivery or hits a straight drive the camera zooms in too much on the delivery perpendicular from above & that too v quickly & then slowly zooming out. It breaks the wonderful seamless visual continuity from the batting broadcast 1 camera to running broadcast 2 camera....
Not a severe issue as such but Hope BA tries to fix the sudden extra zooming on the ball...otherwise the new camera is excellent for running camera
