PC: T20 Blast Tournament - Series 1 - (Round 2)

[_Sam_]

Quick question @SamP

In the game we played, some of the field settings I usually opt for were not available, I think one of them was Pace Defense 9 and another was one of the spin settings, do you know why that was?

I think I had the field settings set as a powerplay with only 2 allowed outside the circle for the first 6 overs, and the rest of the time only 4 allowed outside. Did it perhaps break either of these rules?

One of them would not have for sure, as it was only 2 fielders out side the circle, with Pace Defense 9 not sure if that was 4 or 5 fielders out of the ring.

Will have a look when I get chance.

Stupid runout bug is still there. Cost me 2 wickets and gave SamP a ray of hope in the end
Attributes were good, havent tested all of them yet. Line up was a little off, I would rather keep AB as keeper and keep either samson or faulkner in the team. Other than that, really good game. That luke right wicket maiden really made things tense in the end.
Then i just played with your mind. You were keeping slow balls outside off so that i cant flick them. Thus i decided to reverse sweep the ball. That pushed you to bowl on the middle stump so that you can get lbw and i just flicked myself to win from there.

@rizzy my id is angrypixel89

@samp, can we keep white balls in night matches next time. I was struggling to pick the ball in the dark background.

Haha, so interesting to hear the others persons perspective of the mind games being played after the game !

I thought one of those run outs (Watson) was your fault as it looked like you missed the fielder standing at mid off .

Loved the ending though and was made a lot more interesting with Luke Wrights wicket maiden I have to agree!

 

[AngryPixel]

Yup, watson was my fault.

----------

There were a few bugs there though. when you were on 99 you hit a 4 but umpire gave it six. I was pissed but it was not added to the scoreboard.

I'm still not settled on my lineup, I feel that Finn should be in the team but not sure who to drop, may go for Mendis and just use Al Hasan as my spinner as I prefer pace bowling personally or possibly put David Willey in for Al Hasan. I really should have picked up another overseas player as I feel wasteful if I only play 3 .

Your lineup that I set as default was a fairly rough one as I had no clue who to play and where . Think I said it earlier, but you could have reversed your batting lineup and it would nearly still make logical sense .

I missed that six ! I assume it has something to with the connection as my game with Rizzyx was a bit more smooth.

 

[AngryPixel]

So the underdog Dawson had a great day while your spinners went for plenty

 

[RIZZYX]

Bugs are an issue, hopefully by the time the PC version is released most of the problems will have been resolved.

Jee..there is still sooo much time left before we begin this league.

Would have been awsome if samP had organised one for PS3 first lol

I wish game was released before auctions. I would have picked up a few more spinners then. I love bowling spin now as there are plenty of varieties there. Still part timers will do the job

About my lineup, well that was the whole point behind getting so many allrounders. Sent Napier up the order today for pinch hitting, failed

Anyway I love chasing. Won most of my online matches chasing.

Once again I wasn't expecting to bowl out Luke Wright but the spinners forced me to, similar happened in my other game . Maybe Luke Wright can just be my fifth bowler and I can bring in Shah for someone .

Dawson is a great player in my opinion having watched him in county cricket regularly for the past few season . He opens the bowling in T20 for Hampshire quite commonly and comes in generally in the top 5 (comes in at 3 in FC cricket).

Hopefully we'll get at least 1 patch before PC release which will help online issues out a bit. Still very enjoyable anyway though.

On the attributes side i'd like to have a few things fixed:

1) Watson's speeds were way too less. He bowls a little quicker irl. Maybe my timing was off.

2) Napier's stamina needs a second look. When he got runout he was running to slow. Watson had completed the second run and Napier was just in the middle of the pitch.

 

[_Sam_]

Will take a look at them mate, do we 100% know what controls bowling speed yet and if it's that throwing attribute or something else?

I found at times for me that it wasn't in fact the stamina that was causing batsmen to get too far ahead of each other but if you call the run at a specific time for some reason the batsmen goes sprinting through the crease before starting the next run !

 

[AngryPixel]

I think both of us used DRS at wrong times. In your innings there was a very close LBW call where i couldnt use DRS. And then in my innings I'm sure i edged one ball but umpire gave it not out. You must be cursing your luck

 

[kainkareswar]

After reading all your opinions I am very pleased that my team has good spinners

Stephen Parry
Max Waller
Harbhajan Singh
Gautam Gambhir
Josh Cobb

are at my disposal. Spinners FTW.

----------

I would pick all the five in an important match and kick the hell out of my opponent

 

[AngryPixel]

Maybe Samp would share his bowling scorecard of spinners, that should disappoint you
