Happy with how my uniform came out (did it Wednesday night). Way better than my actual line-up.

Can you help how to play this format with friends as host option missing.

You can't play against friends. If you want to play with friends you can go to custom match but the points won't gets added to this leaderboard.

• Atleast give us an option to play against random user team from the leaderboards but controlled by AI if we unable to search any games after 2 mins of searching , we can have this option enable or disable before the start of search for new game.

And it will be great if you come back from work and see that your team has played 6 games today and win 3 of them (AI controlled your team when you were not playing)

This way leaderboards will keep getting updated fairly and all users will have a fair chance because AI you played against will be the same for every one and the AI which controlled your team in your absence Will be same as well

Played 4 games yesterday. Couple of games where fun as the opposite player had some respect for the game. Though I ended up loosing the match the game was fun.

The other two games were total waste of my time. I'm not going to name and shame the players, but they used whatever exploits available in the game to win the match.

• Using of silly fielders
• Bowling one particular length throughout 90% of the innings.
• Using slow and effort controls together on every ball to confuse the batsman
• Moving beyond leg stump or moving accross off stump to play every shot
• Attempted stumping when the batsman misses a shot and walks out of the crease (not looking for a run) .
• Bowling only fast and fast medium type bowlers.
• Bowling very early or very late by which batsman can be deceived.

You name the exploit they have done it. People like this should be banned from the big XI league if fair players should have a chance the enjoy thr game properly.

The effort bowl should be locked for the mode or only should be allowed to ball once an over.

And if a bowler keeps bowling one particular length after a certain number of deliveries it should start give him negative points which will force him to change the length.

Similarly for batsman if they keep moving after a certain number of movement shots their points should come in negative which will force them to play properly.

Totally agree and wondering lm trash too, they seem bowl with easy but seem not laggy or what/glitchy hard pick up at times. Made it impossible to bat.

Seem to appear all these bugs online for pc not sure what is had run out bugs again and players frittering both teams and people exploiting glitches and use of bowling lat when the mark was so far over but somehow hit stumps. How can be big differences with what l see and when other play plays or bats/bowls

Played the big x1 for the first time. My oponent was clearly cheating. He had 3-4 sapphire players in the squad. Don't know how he was allowed to start the match with that lineup.
Still i won the match. But guess what, i received fair play points in the negative.
Can somebody from big ant explain this ?

Look at his lineup. Williamson, smith, stokes, QDK four sapphire players in the lineup.

So far I am really enjoying this mode, hadn’t played the game for the last two weeks but this mode has really sparked some enjoyment in the game.

Big Ant have made a good start with the fair play system, but really feel like more needs to be done around people that pull their connection so their record doesn’t get updated if the game isn’t going their way (not talking about forfeits - literally pull the plug and get a “you have been disconnected from your opponent” message and no win or points get awarded and games played remains the same back at the menu).

One suggestion for the future would be to have everyone start with a random silver playlist of players, leaderboards go back to W/L records but the ‘fair play’ game points go into a progress bar, as you progress you unlock a pack. That pack then contains any possibility of silver, gold emerald etc and is an incentive for the player to stick around to the end, as if they quit, they get no points and thus can’t improve on their squad of players.

What an embarrassment ! A guy I played against bowled 5 overs of spin continues SHORT + EFFORT ball that you can't do much against

i dnt have an issue with people using what they can to win, but there should be a counter or a shot to counter such bowling. I remember in DB14 there was this loophole where you could bowl short and slow with a military medium pacer and the opponent would't score a run!

There is a counter. If the ball is on stumps line you can go on back foot and pull.

If the ball is on 4th stump you can hit it straight down the ground on back foot.

If it's further away Blackfoot drives above cover point.

Just need to get timing right. I guess I played against same player too. 90% balls were red and rest 10% yellow.

What most do is they play fair till the match is tight then when they are about to lose they resort to such stuff. The short stuff is on off stump where I am able to hit for singles but not getting away with big shots

Maybe I just need to improve! But I'm not able to replicate the length in nets or outdoor practice. Even with short length during practice the ball doesn't bounce much for spin.
