The New Ball Problem

[The_gas]

Ok we all know about this. Those playing test matches post here who have experienced this bug. I just bowled 107 overs, then i was offerd the new ball.
I have had it after 90 a few times, so its not offerd at least untill then. Not sure wether its to do with making a bowler change on the 90th over or what.

Yep - had this yesterday in my S.A. test. Bowled 94 overs I think and was not offered it. Didn't matter too much as they were all out by then

I have had the new ball offered on 120 overs and on 100 overs, im not sure but it might be caused by autoplaying?

Interesting...i think you could be right there

I never autoplay though so it cant be that.

was just about to post that then lol :P

hehe :happy
I very rarely autoplay when bowling..i never when batting

Blimey! Its getting worse. Just finished 137 overs without being offered a new ball. Poor old Freddie was banging the ball in as short as the game would allow, and it wasn't getting any higher than the batsman's waist!

surely there is a way to fix this in the game's configuration files? i hope someone with the proper knowledge can look into it

 

[The_gas]

Agreed, would be great if this could be fixed.

maybe the umpires have wonderful eyesight.

i think if we tweak the game a little bit then we might be able to get it at 90 overs
