Was he hosting? It's possible he set the weather to "overcast" and used a ground which is conducive to swing (i.e. Lords, Headingly or Auckland) - if you haven't used these settings before they may be quite different to what you're used too.

Guys,

Maybe i'm missing something obvious, but I played online the other night and the opponent was getting immense swing (in and out), i'm talking where the ball moves accross 2 ft in the air !!.
When I play against the AI I can never generate swing like this....what am I missing ? Or was that person taking some kind of advantage ?

May be he was moving the cursor.

May be he was moving the cursor.

very much possible, as in previous version swing was implemented by shifting the cursor.

May be he was moving the cursor.

I 2nd to that....

 

[Wrong un]

May be he was moving the cursor.

Well done Sherlock :laugh

My point is, how is he doing it ? Give me an idiots guide because once I have pressed my 'bowling action' button (for the second time), that cursor ain't moving !!

Lag and fast bowlers

I just played a guy online who bowled at the stumps every time with fast bowlers, never varying his pace. He (or I?) lagged pretty bad so the ball would hang in the bowler's hand before being delivered, which made it pretty much impossible to time the shot since you have to hit the button pretty much right after the ball leaves the hand against fast bowlers. However he didn't lag every time, so if you tried to time the lag which you thought was coming, you would get bowled by the ball that would be delivered immediately from the hand with no lag.
I ended up getting bowled out for like 10 or something which was pretty sick. However, probably 2/3 of the wickets I lose online are to this exact same phenomenon to the point that I just try and play out the overs against fast bowlers if the person in question lags. Of course picking all fast bowlers means you can't do this. Basically it ruins the game - it is humanly impossible to react fast enough to time the ball against this.
Note that slower balls also own people in a similar way but the difference in timing is not as big, so I recognize them as a legitimate part of the game. Also, against anything but fast bowlers you can just wait for the ball to leave the hand, but it is impossible here.

We can only hope the possible patch Codemaster's are coming up with fixes this. For now play with guys nearer to your area or just quit.

Performance of the Game in Online Mode

Have been having trouble in playing the game online. The game is not running smooth at all , when the opponent bowls , the ball sort of gets stucks in the air and comes to you all of a sudden in a direction that can not be judged.

Have a 1 mbps connection. and games like Fifa 09 with far superior graphics run smooth on it online.
The PC i am using is fully loaded and also with a new geforce card.

Why is the game's perfomance so bad when playing online

 

[EarlCG]

It depends on your opponents connection speed as much as yours, plus geographical distance. With Fifa (a game with a far larger player pool to start) you're less likely to be playing against people in India and Australia (or UK if you're in Oz yourself). Both countries telecommunications networks are hit and miss and the additional geographical distance the data has to travel has an effect as well.

Having said that, I'm confident that Transmission are looking at improving this in the forthcoming patch though.

Playing Online - Stumping?

Hi all. I'm new to this forum (and any forum for that matter). I have had a look around and can't find any info on this, so am hoping someone here can help me, or point me in the right direction.

When playing online (with horrible lag I might add), what is the deal with stumping? Many times my bowler or keeper received the ball while the batsmen were still running and nothing happened! Is there a way to stump them? I assumed it would be automatic like when playing the AI.

Cheers.

Theres no way to stump them. Your animation is probably lagging, your opponent is probably already back in the crease.
