Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder Cats, HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always thought my London Thundercats team was among the strongest.

Glad to see the player performance. Good batsmen and bowlers top the list. My skilling works!

@kushari all the players are my uploaded players without any changes, right? So I can download and overwrite safely....

@kushari what is this fair play points stuff?

 

[arjwiz]

@kushari this is weird, when I downloaded my LTC team, my batting and bowling are both 3.5 stars
Edit: Oh wait, it's gone back to 3.5 and 3 stars. Never mind. That was weird.

yes sometime its acts funny...I have not touched anything apart from costume etc..so you can safely download and overwrite all the 130 players.
@arjwiz Fair Play Point is exactly what the name suggest Fair Play points, which will be awarded to Top 03 Managers as per final point after the League matches are over..

Both the Managers needs to send me a PM after their match indicating a score by which they judge their opponent for that particular match. You can consider stuff like Bowling with Batsman, bowling slow bouncers, not allowing to check field after fielding change. This is mostly as fun exercise and this will also send a massage to the guys at the bottom to pull up their sock and try to be more accommodating towards their opponent. No Managers (Except me), will know what is the Fair Play score given to him by his opponent manager, as I will only disclose each teams fair play points after minimum 03 games (or 03 Score I will receive from 03 Opposition managers). I will only mention the Total Fair Play point after 03 Matches, so suppose 02 manager gave you 10 and 01 manager gave you 08, I will disclose after your 3rd Match, that Total Fair Play point for LTC is 28/30

I like and support your idea , but some of the minor irritations like the Fielding Placement not allowed to see one , will be adressed by the Patch. And Probably/Hopefully the Slow Balls Bouncers by Batsmen and the guy in the Sightcreen.

But in principle I like the whole idea. Maybe just have all the things we frown upon in some sort of a list.

As for myself I will discount a guy if he set the guy in the sightscreen up , and another guy wont think anything about it. He might feel shafted that the opposition just bowled Wide Outside Off with a packed Offside field (for example)

 

[kushari]

Yes, we can be fair as much as it is possible. We cannot ask someone to bowl to our strength or place field as per our likings. Thats why this is a competition. Everyone has his strength and weakness. Its OK if someones strength is bowling spin and he want to bowl with spinners as much as he want, but I will be pissed if he start bowling with a proper batsman (Who has low skill as a bowler) just because he can bowl spin. Though I am not banning it outright, but I will give that player 3/10 for Fair Play...and I dont think anyone will be proud to be in the bottom of the Fair Play points.....

 

[RIZZYX]

Love the fair play award idea, something I never thought of.

Also hats off to the strictness on the full scorecard issue, your rule should avoid the trend that sometime's occurred in the IPL league with full scorecards not being posted or being delayed by a long time.

I will deffo pick up both of these rules if and when the next season of IPL kicks off.

One quick question on the slower ball rule, it says that "The manager bowling slower ball bouncer with Pacers or Spinners will be frowned upon" that is only for medium pacers and spinners right? not Fast and Fast medium bowlers? or does it apply to them also?

Its always feel nice, when your ideas are appreciated. Thanks for liking it.
Yes, we will frown-upon for Slow Bouncers from Medium Pacers & Spinners only (I really hope some of it will be taken care in Patch-2, after the Maximum & Minimum Speed for all the bowlers are calibrated to a logical proportion)...

@kushari the fair play concept is great. It will discourage people to use unfair means to get victory. Looking forward to the start of this league. The UCC competition is turning out to be the best among all.

@kushari
I am not a participant, but still excited about this tournament. (don't know why, may be because I am crazy !!)
But I love the way you have organized the tournament.
Can you ask the winner of each match to upload the highlights of the match ?

If you want you can be the Reserve Manager. In case anyone opts out before the start or during the Tournament, you can take his place. In case you are interested let me know, I will add you as reserve Manager for UCC League.

Uploading needs to have video capture software, which most of us dont have. If you know how to capture & upload the highlights from PS3 without buying a hardware or software, do let me know, I will be glad to upload the complete match in you tube.

I haven't played the game, but this is what I took from Ross's interview :-

18. Can we save the replay whenever we want? I hope this game has it, always want to capture great cricket moments in game

Unfortunately there is no plan at the moment to include an "anytime" replay function.
The replay system we do have implemented will post to YouTube (automatically linking a Facebook link to the video on your wall if you have it activated).

If I am right, that means, the game has an inbuilt feature of uploading to youtube

@kushari
I will just need clarification on the Slow Ball Bouncer on the Spin Bowler :
I`m not exactly sure which one your referring to here , I believe its the one where the Ball almost bounces twice before reaching the Stumps.

This can only be achieved by Bowling the Drift and Flight Ball very Early release. Why I`m asking is I do enjoy the Spin Bowling , but are very afraid of even selecting the short ball when I bowl the Drift&Flight Ball , as it can easily be seen as cheating/unsporting . But there is a "normal" (if you can call it that) Short Ball with the drift and flight Pitching between 5&6 meters , and then the one that is even more short (around 6-8 meters from the wickets.

People should be using discretion when evaulating this type of Ball , as I dont want to end up only allowed to bowl full and good length with the spinners.

I hope you catch my train of thought here. And I also believe that Patch2 will eliminate alot of the opportunities for unsportsmanlike conduct , but we first need to test it out to be sure.

@lion100lion

We will have to check your theory out about the Facebook and youtube feature. I for one never checked it out as I`m on a self imposed ban of Facebook , for various reasons. Maybe some of the more savvy FB guys can give it a go and see where we get.
