SHORT DESCRIPTION:
This is the patch which almost takes the gameplay close to reality!!!! So reality is given importance in this patch!!!!!
ABSTRACT:
1) This patch is only for the people who like the reality in the game and people who knows the meaning of TEST cricket perfectly.
2) Batting is taken to a separate level i.e almost realistic batting!!!
3) Bowling department is little weak!!!
4) Fielding is improved a lot( Only very very very few misfields)
5) User Strategy is necessary to play the game.
6) Edges are improved
7) CPU?s approach in bowling is A CHALLENGING ONE?..
8) User must be aware of different shots available because this patch needs perfect shot selection.
DETAILED REVIEW:
REALISTIC GAMEPLAY :
1) Well, this patch is EXCULSIVELY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE ACTUAL MEANING OF TEST CRICKET!!!!!!
2) The people who wants boundary in everyball(Unusual cricket) cannot use this patch!!!
So the reality plays a major role in batting.
BATTING?SO SO REALISTIC
1) The batting in test cricket has to be done as its done in the real match!!!! So ABSOLUTE PATIENCE is necessary.
2) We cannot play the shots blindly!!!!
3) Shot selection is so important to play well.
4) Front foot drives are excellent!!!
5) Back foot off drive needs perfect time to play
Example : With great difficulty I managed to hit a Typical Sehwag Six with a perfect time!!!
6) Singles Rotating is made easier!!! So a person who knows the cricket well definetly knows the value of rotating the strike.
7) Six hitting is hard and it requires two important things:
a) Cofidence level should be good enough
b) Perfect timing!!!
8) Mistiming leads to edges and misattempted six leads to a catch.
9) We have to be careful in the line and bounce the CPU bowls to us!!!
10) We have to be very watchful while playing against the spinners.
BOWLING---NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
a) FAST BOWLING :
Well, there is lot of realistic in BATTING?But in bowling there is a bug ( NOT EA BUG) :
The bug is that, CPU completely misjudges/mispredicts the line when swinging deliveries are bowled( I am not talking about usual EA bug )!!!! With Swinging deliveries, CPU tries to leave the deliveries which results in bowled or LBW!!!!
I hope this gets fixed in next version!!!!
b) SPIN BOWLING :
Well, due to the fast bowling defect, I tried with the spinners lot?.
( i ) Off Spin: Its really challenging to bowl to CPU!!!! You have to be careful in bowling right line and length!!! Good CPU approach to Off spin deliveries!!!!
( ii ) Leg Spin : Its also good but can be more helpful than Off Spin. FLIPPEFRS are quite handy in breaking the partnerships!!!!
CPU?s ABILITY
a) CPU Batting :
Well as I mentioned there is a defect against fast bowlers swinging deliveries!!! But against the spin deliveries CPUs approach is good.
b) CPU Bowling :
This is ONE OF THE ATTRACTING FEATURE?.The thing is, CPUs BOWLING IS A REAL CHALLENGING ONE!!!! We can never underestimate the CPU?s bowling. It often changes the line and length. If you notice sharply, we can find CPU bowling special deliveries. There is a bowling change occurring in right times.
EXAMPLE : I was playing against the West Indies. There was often bowling change occurred which resulted in different line and lengths!!! So we have to be careful in judging the line and length.
FIELDING
The ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE FEATURE is the improvement in fielding. There is a lot of REDUCTION IN MISFIELDS?.. So EA bug has reduced to certain extent. With this feature, the fielding is excellent especially near the boundaries!!!!
This great credit goes to the patch maker!!!!
EDGES
As I told we have to be careful in shot selection and timing, and any mistiming leads to a good edge.We have to be careful especially when attempting to hit a six as a wrong timing leads to a catch.
HITTING BOUNDARIES
a) Hitting 4s : We need a perfect timing as in real game.
b) Hitting 6s : Really hard to play and it requires the two conditions as I mentioned above. This can be improved a little easy in next version( Not too easy ).
ATTRACTIVE FEATURE : REALITY IN BATSMAN TYPE
This is the feature that attracted me a lot!!!!
The Aggressive batsmen like Dhoni,Sehwag,Sachin,Gilli etc? can bat with little ease than others and we can obtain big sixes at the start itself if good timing is there,
The Defensive batsmen like Dravid,Prince and others cannot start with huge from the word go?.They have to play very very careful till the confidence meter gets filled up to certain level and they can then play good big shots.
So in this patch, Batsman should know their roles and play accordingly as in the real game.
EXAMPLE: I tried this out with Sehwag and Dravid pair. Sehwag got 100 of 114 balls and Dravid got 50 of 96 balls. I think we get a clear picture from this and make our batsmen play accordingly!!!
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR USERS TO OBTAIN REALISTIC BATTING
1) Well first of all we should be able to maintain absolute patience for real test batting.I think that?s the test cricket played in reality.
2) Please DON?T GO WITH THE BIG SIX SHOTS DIRECTLY?. We have to maintain a perfect timing to get our shots correctly with the help of which we can hit fours in the gaps or picking singles/doubles/tribles.
3) When playing patiently we will notice a very slow start but at the same time we can notice the confidence meter rising with perfect placements.
4) Once our confidence meter rises to required certain level,we can try our big six shots and that too with the perfect timing.
EXAMPLE:
I tried with Sehwag , He was 1 of 20 balls and rised slowly to 90 of 100 balls!!!!
5) So summing up, With absolute patience and perfect timing we will obtain a good reality in test play!!!!!
APPRECIATIONS
1) Bringing almost a Realistic feature in game should be appreciated.
2) Front foot offdrives are perfect.
3) CPU?s excellent bowling tactics.
4) Different batsmen play differently.
5) Fielding Bug is reduced.
6) Rotating strikes is easy.
NEEDING IMPROVEMENT
1) Backfoot shots needs little improvement.
2) Legside single needs little more power although its good at present.
3) Bowling needs lot of improvent on the bug mentioned above.
CONCLUSION:
This patch(test patch) in overall is a great one to be used for test matches. Its very close to reality.I think with the improvements done, It can be the best reality patch. People who knows the meaning of test cricket are sure to enjoy this patch!!!!
MESSAGE TO CRICKET DOCTOR(Patch maker) :
Well, You have done a fantastic job of bringing more reality to the game!!! The bowling bug needs to be rectified in the next version. Expecting the improvements in the next version!!! All the best in the next version!!!!!
Thanx
