Only batted for 3 overs and this beta patch is so much better than the original game it's not funny. I know I was one of the most critical of the original game, simply because I care so much about getting a proper cricket game and I was massively disappointed at the glaring issues. This is clearly a MASSIVE step forward.
First ball, Mitchell Johnson bowls an inswinger to Strauss, it actually swings, goes over the top of the stumps and continues to swing further down the leg side with Haddin having to dive to get it. My jaw hurts from where it hit the ground.
Also, with the change in ideal length, there have been a couple of animations I've never seen before.
Over time it'll get easier, that's just the way it is, but with Colin's player editor we'll be able to reduce batting abilities.
Fair play to you guys at Transmission, would've been very easy to just pack up and enjoy seeing it at the top of the sales charts. Thank you for sticking around and proving to us all that you really do care about getting the game right and not just the money at the end of it.
EDIT: Having just alt-tabbed out to post this, I go back into the game and have no sound. Not had that before so I'll try and replicate it.
