Taking new ball?

[ChrisCricket]

Hope this helps!

Is this after patch 1.04?

Yes

I am on the PS4 version if it makes any difference. I have tried with official default teams and grounds - both in Play Now and Ashes mode, Test and First Class. Same result except sometimes the ball seems barely worn after 70-odd overs, sometimes very worn. Either way no new ball is offered or available. I save and reload the game at least once before 80 overs. Playing on default Medium settings.

Very odd that this has not been picked up at beta stage - new ball tactics are so fundamental to Test Match cricket.

Well given some seem to be able to take the new ball, is it not feasible that no one in the beta team has had the issue?

Mention it in the Bug Report thread with your version number (in the credits screen) as there might be a particular build/version specific to a region which has the bug.

Yes

It didn't work for me, but I will try and see if it does when I am into bowl 80 overs next time, I am not quite there yet this time

Patch 1.04 seems to have fixed it for me. Thanks for suggestions.

It's not there for me. PS4 version 1.04.

The latest patch was released halfway through this test match so maybe that's why?

May be you can quickly simulate anew game with 1.04 patch and see..

You were right.

So the latest patch doesn't apply to saved games?

@MattW
Here's video footage of me not getting the new ball,this is a new series started after latest patch.if you notice at the start of the 80th over I get no notification for the new ball.but at the end I show that I have notifications turned on.

I best hope I bowl out England in less than 80 overs in my ongoing save game then

@MattW just tagging you in here - the new ball is definitely on occasions not coming up.

Can you think of anything unusual in the match - did you play through all the overs, save and come back to it, or simulate part?

Btw I had simulated to get to the point for my video,to get the option to take the new ball.
