so here's my experience so far with the 7.3 patch...
happened to start the one day circuit playing as pakistan, just finished the first series against bangladesh.
first game, batted first, was a bit careless, made 173 all out. figured its a decent total, lets see how the patch works on autoplay... bangladesh made it in 43 overs with two frikkin wickets down only... losing 1-0....
second game, batted again, thought i should give them a bigger score to chase... batted more carefully, so of course i got all out for 96. didnt autoplay this time, and got the banglas all out for 68.. have to admit, with a help from the runout bug which accounted for four of them... series tied 1-1.
third game, they won the toss and put me in, again shot me out for 112. but once more i managed to get them out for 78. this time had three guys runout.
so overall, much tougher opponent with the 7.3 patch.
here's what i noticed
1. almost every other ball was in the blockhole when the AI was bowling, not only making batting difficult, but which is kinda unrealistic.
2. i had made some default field adjustments with the field editor available here, but looks like i lost them and will have to make them again. does this patch overwrite to the default field settings too?
3. can i run sams exe along with this patch so i dont have the runout bug? right now i am only running tutsi's 7.3 with some graphic enhancements. i have a feeling that once the runout bug is gone i will have a really hard time beating this mo-fo...
4. i did notice that probably for the first time that i have seen, i saw the computer play the reverse sweep twice... quite effectively i might add...
5. also saw the computer take a c&b for the first time...
6. can you make the AI bowl no-balls too? i have yet to see a single AI no-ball... i think i heard somewhere on this site that one patch made that possible.
7. is it possible for you to add the changes in sams exe to this patch? i mean the runout fix, the lineup fix etc so that one patch fixes all these things? i dont know anything about patching so forgive me if that was a stupid question. :cheer
:hpraise tutsi great job, but we didnt ask you to make the damn thing unbeatable lol...
by the way here's an idea... is it possible to alter the complete look of the players?? i dont just mean the face and kit... i mean if i want my cricket team to be a womens cricket team... have aishwariya, sushmita, britney, angelina etc in my team.. wouldnt that be cool? probably the next step would be naked women-cricketer world cup.... hmmmm... :cheesy THAT game i would play till the cows come home.....
