Hey anybody know how I can gain fielding ability points in career? I have taken catches when I look at the scoreboard at the end of opponents batting innings, but have zero fielding AP in my 2 year career? What must I do to gain some? Wish there was a minigame like they have for bowling and batting.....
 
Play in the slips or as WK. This can be tricky until you get made captain. Don't simulate, you need to actually perform the catch/stumping/run out yourself.

Slip catches are only worth 50xp so you'd need to take ~20 catches in the slips before you get one fielding ability point. I believe the keeper catches are slightly higher in reward but this removes your ability to bowl for the match entirely. Sometimes you can go an entire test match in the slips and get no catches. Strange since your club cricketer teammates somehow have 70-100 fielding rating.

Fielding is broken. Cutscenes are broken. Edges are broken. A patch would be nice, kinda regret paying 100 bucks for a pretty broken and neglected PS4 version now. Still don't even have the 5WI cutscene back. Joke.

I gained one, having the silver perk which multiples Fielding Ability points helps.

I really suggest you to sell your game, if you have a physical copy. Or just delete it if you really don't like it. I have seen you post only negatives, as far as I can remember.

Fielding is overlooked in certain areas, but it isn't broken, except for sometimes when a loopy throw comes out from AI!

Cutscenes are almost fully back, I get the captain talking to the bowler, Bowling going back to Mark. Except that 5WI one, nothing is missing anymore.

Edges are actually not bad, sometimes frustrating, but not broken. I have seen some edges like those in real cricket, even in the recently concluded Cricket World Cup 2019.

Please stop playing this game, if it's a painful experience for you.

Why did you even reply to this thread? You have a problem that I actually gave information on how to improve your fielding in the games current state, which doesn't require fanboys like you defending it, and also having an opinion? (Fielding is actually broken as I pointed out, your teammates will be nearly maxed in fielding at club level yet you can play 10 years, representing your country and be lucky to have gained one ability point. Not to mention the lack of run out animations which means they basically don't occur outside of simulation but this is beside the point)

I don't see you answering his question in any capacity, just flaming on me because I actually addressed his query whilst having an opinion on a subpar game considering its price. Also, why don't you actually go and read all the posts I've made, I have been thanked ~30 times for my contributions so they can't be that negative. Selective memory much?

Save your posts for constructive feedback mate. Oh wait:

Super helpful man, followed up by a post hating on me for actually addressing his question and god-forbid, having an opinion about the game.

FYI I have actually stopped playing until they decide to patch it back to the quality of a $100 game.

:thumbs

You actually count the times you have been thanked? Really? That desperate for validation. I have my own opinion on things, in fact was the first to criticise BA on their marketing tactics before the game, which I myself got crifticsed for and apologised. Your kind neither apologises when criticism is in the guise of ranting about your issues, nor appreciate a single thing the game has to offer.

Also, this is a public forum! I can have my opinion, and I can do whatever I want, just like you still post **** like this. Also, have been a member way longer than you have.

You're the one who thinks has wasted money, and you're the one crying a river about it.

Also, the so-called 'fanboys', including the beta testers, have already pointed about the lack of attention to Fielding. Maybe if you stopped ranting for no reason, you could find those posts in the general discussion.

Also the OP, had asked how to gain an ability point for Fielding, which I explained through my own experience.

Anyway, continue crying. :thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

EDIT: You actually thanked my post for 'hating' on you. :lol

You have to point out you've been a member longer than me? Does that make your opinions more valid? I don't "rant" about the game and I pointed out the amount of thanks I have received (~66.7% by the way) to illustrate your selective memory in claiming I'm only critical of the game, don't make positive contributions and haven't shown any appreciation for BAs great work. I have praised this game several times (again your selective memory working as intended) and offered lots of advice to people with general questions about the game. My only gripe is that it feels neglected now that the PC version has been released.

Feel free to reply but I think you've already successfully hijacked this guy's thread for no reason nor have much to actually offer in relation to OPs question. Your "explanation through my own experience" didn't even answer what OP was asking and wasn't exactly helpful, especially for someone who, for some reason, feels the need to remind us he's been been a member since 2012.

See your own replies in bold, you're the one who used OP's question as a way to rant about the game.

About me being a member since 2012, I was very ignorant 7 years back, that's why I don't really take you seriously. New members generally take time to adapt here, and the ones that take longer are the reason why the forums here are no way close to the time BA launched DBC 14 back in the day. Also a reason why they don't post here anymore.

Anyway I am not continuing this argument, and I sincerely request @Dutch and @Snowy to please lock this thread.

How ironic that you ask for a thread you hijacked to be locked. I answered his question (which you didn't, thread hijack accomplished) which included an opinion about the game, which you then attacked my character and intent.

Reported for thread hijacking.

@Snowy please lock.

Answered it before replying to your nonsensical rant. Also reported you for defamation!

His question was asking how to specifically increase his fielding experience, which I tried to helpfully answer. You replied with a vague experience that you randomly got ability experience, just like everyone else playing CR19. That's more of a observation than an answer.

Anyway, because my answer included an opinion and according to you, new members opinions don't matter/shouldn't be taken seriously, you then decided to again randomly attack my character and intent. You said 7 years ago you were fairly ignorant, I obviously wasn't around but doesn't seem like you've grown much from that self-assertion. I also very much think you should also look up the definition of "rant" as its quite different to "opinion".

I don't know why I'm still replying to this or why this thread isn't locked. OPs question was answered whilst DAP has decided to hijack this thread into a random attack against me and apparently anyone who is a new member with an opinion.
