Tutsi's A.I. Patches

[boss]

Yap! u'r right mate!!!. At sometimes u may get a lot of edges by changing a single parameter and at other times u hardly get any edge at all. i again say that this game's file system is too much complicated. All they do have is a single *.gob file for all the stuff!. Now only with the help of ppl like prakash and ajit and others, we can edit that now. But still there lots of files unedited right now!.

I'm still dreaming of console driven cricket game (like quake-series!), with the use of console(~), we can bring lots of options from game params to graphics,sound and we can change any thing. Is any game maker (EA/codemasters..) take the leaf out of of 'Quake' makers to make cricket games even intr. what do u say?

Boss

a Lot of interesting things happened after my last post.. One the last day on a dusty pitch I had bowled almost 45 overs of spin non stop and then switched to Pathan ... the second ball was just short of length and lehman defended off the backfoot and an edge went to backword point..! Katich was out to an edge to the keeper of Pathan in the same over. .. All of a sudden there were a ton of edges...a lot of these actually didnt go to fielders though.. I then decided to keep Pathan and balaji and dismissed australia for 248 all out off 79 overs. 4 of the 5 wickets that Pathan picked were edges ... the very last wicket was actually a lbw to a slower delivery.. I ended up winning by 150 runs..
Martyn played a fantastic innings.. 91 of 148 balls.He started very slowly and took a good time to get set in .Once he got set in he started playing some aggressive shots.. after he got his 50 he really cut loose and started playing aerial strokes including a fantastic hook shot for 6 off balaji!
SO far this patch has been excellent... the CPU batting has been aggressive yet unpredictable... they play a larger variety of shots

I dont understand how I started getting edges all of a sudden ... it was rather weird.. maybe I wasnt bowling well yesterday with the pace bowlers...

I will try a one day next

Thanks for the patch Tutsi

 

[tutsipoppy2]

thnx guys for ur support.

But i would also like others to review my patch. it is always 2-3 of the guys who are always posting comments,etc about the patch while others just download it, play it and don't care to post a positive OR negative reply. there are always soo many downloads but reviews from only a few.

i would like more members to come forward and post comments.

One Day Domestic: NSW vs VIC at Sydney

hard pitch, cool and overcast

NSW 6/128 (50.0)
Phelps 41
Thornley 28

White 3/14
Inness 3/33

VIC 5/132 (25.0)

Hussey 33
Elliott 32

Krejza 2/3
Lee 2/66

BOWLING

NSW 1/30 (10.0) 1/60 (20.0) 2/79 (30.0) 3/94 (40.0)

Wickets difficult to come by; no matter how much pressure is applied
even at a run rate of 2, the computer rarely attempts to increase its aggression and with 7 wickets in hand by the 40th over, the final charge should have been strong
5 consecutive maidens: computer still can't play spin.
confidence doesn't appear to improve batsman's run scoring ability

BATTING
run rates feels realistic
front foot cover drive is useless, wide half-volleys better dispatched either straight or on the on-side.
short balls always too tall to hook; opposite of what is observed when bowling, where computer seems to be able to play at any length ball.
pull shot tends to pop up behind square; cut tends to hit the cover boundary (could be a "me" thing but if they find the boundary i can't be missing them too much).

I haven't played the last few patch versions so I don't know how to compare altered features and such. All I can really say is that I was well able to score twice as fast as my opponent.

Edit: I hope this is constructive. It comes across really negative to me. I must say batting was pretty good but I'd rather see all out for 200 than 6/128. At least, if they're gonna score bugger all, it would be a time saver if they did it quickly.

Cheers.

Beta-4 Patch Review

Hello Tutsi, here is a review of your Beta-4 patch. i am currently using it for the India vs Pakistan series story thread. I used it just for the Pakistan 2nd innings.

Pakistan 239 a/o

Inzamam 127 off 150+ balls. Mohammed Sami 2 off 83 balls.

Follow my India - Pakistan thread here!

I think it is more realistic now with the batsman getting in and then starting to play aggressively. But you can still reduce the amount of balls a top order batsman takes to settle in and play freely. Inzamam took 40 balls to score a run. Also you can may be make the batsman steal some singles or two's for balls pitched outside off stump or leg stump in the beginning when they coe in. Coz till a certain amount of deliveries, they leave everything or defend everything that comes their way! The bowler should feel he can pick a wicket even before the batsman is settled. So, you can make them pick some singles or twos in the beginning when the ball is not pitched on the stumps.

And one thing is, if I bowl a ball just on the off stump and bring the ball marker down to the right of the seam, the cpu seems to always try a cover drive and miss the ball when it should often play a straight drive. I got more wickets with this when the cpu missed it and was bowled or lbw. I dont know if this is a bug or not - just saying. And the aggression after getting a 50 is a bit high. Can be reduced just a little bit (not by much!). Also, the cpu once it gets in, tries to come down the track to spinners quite a lot. I get more stumpings with this! You can may be decrease the no. of times the cpu dances down the track to the spinners!

Now for the positives:

A very realistic patch for test matches. I get sprinkling of edges even for well settled batsman when i bowl good deliveries. The run rate looks really really realistic for a test match. I think now the tests would go into Day 4 or Day 5. I didnt bat with this yet so, I will post a review on the batting once i do it. A great patch on the whole and more tweaking can be done!

**EDIT by Tutsi :This reviewed match was played on HARD level whereas u need to play on NORMAL level with my BETA patch. Plz do check the difficulty settings before playing the match and posting its review. An incorrect review may lead to a BUGGED FINAL patch.

were u playing the game on NORMAL difficulty?

 

[ashwinkm]

With tutis last two patches I have had two test matches going to the final session of the fifth day... as the cpu definitely is able to hang around for a much longer time...I score around 3-4 an over in tests.. The batsmen do get very aggressive after 50 but I actually liked it ... its challenging to bowl to a batsmen who is trying to hit you out of the park... better that than having them defend all the time...

I played a one day yesterday and got gilchrist lbw to pathan the very first delivery to a inswingng yorker... so finally we are able to get lbw decisions to pace bowlers ...this was one of my earliest requests.

 

[themuel1]

pathan is a fast bowler isn't he, so how did you get the inswing?

 

[straw]

He means seam. He just doesn't know the difference.

 

[SaiSrini]

were u playing the game on NORMAL difficulty?

I dont think he is. Neither did I! The review that I posted before was on Hard Level. Sorry didnt notice. I am currently playing a test with India vs Australia on Normal Level on a green wicket in Australia! I will post a review on it soon. Some more tweaks on Hard Level too. It plays good on hard Level too expect for a few tweaks that I mentioned.

 

[tutsipoppy2]

i seriously thought that u 2 were playing on HARD rather than on NORMAL.

coz some fo the things about those reviewd just puzzled me. and thats why i made a post asking u guys about the difficulty.

i myself do check the difficulty everytime before resuming a saved match just to be sure.

ok sorry. i will post my review on it from the Normal Level

 

[shahid6995]

Okay maybe this is a stupid question Tutsi, but let me ask anyways. I had installed the 7.4 patch and played exclusively on the hard level with that. Now I have the 7.5 Beta 4 installed, but I was playing on the Hard level still. Does that mean that actually I am still playing with the 7.4 patch? And to play on the 7.5 patch I have to do it on Normal difficulty? Or does some of the changes in 7.5 also come through on Hard level? I hope you understand what I am asking.

Regardless looks like I will have to restart my Pakistan tour of India thread. :crying :crying :crying
