Trying it at 90 and still Starc is bowling really short balls that are wides. 3 an over. Doesn't feel any different to 50.

Wow. Even Lyon is bowling wides now.
OK, let's try 10 instead.

Higher it is the better they bowl... in theory. But it's minimal .

Another thing Ive noticed, not a single no-ball bowled when Im batting, been well over 100 overs across two innings now. I seem to bowl one per over (obviously this is my fault for trying to be too precise, but I think the what-ya-call-its are too sensitive compared to C19 - I left C22 off, thankfully). The pick up and aim movement by fielders is as annoying as the throw the ball and hit the stumps everytime regardless of whether a run has been attempted.

Still enjoying the game mind you, just some bits that id love fixed for realism.

Edit: Also to add, nowhere near enough close lbw, nick calls etc. 3 reviews each pretty pointless in this game..! Guess I could change the umpires to be terrible might sort?

Reduce the bouncer length to 40.. it will reduce the over head wides

I'm finding at 10 that the short balls they bowl aren't wides. At 50 and 90 there were 3 an over.
I wonder if 'better' equals better bowler timing and speed. That would make them bounce higher I guess.

I might. I did that in C22 and it worked well.

This happens when you appeal for a wicket and it's not out.

Also, it changes the on strike batsman whether you are batting or not. Noticed it last night, just confirmed it now.

Although it's more to do with the Ai obsession with short balls at 90 that's the problem I feel.

Let's be fair though.. this place did become an absolute dive

So did their game?

There were a lot to cherish in the earlier installments, unlike the last ones. It's no surprise that there is barely any positivity coming from this forum, because there is barely any reason for it to come.

As far as I know neither increasing or decreasing will change the delivery lengths the AI chooses to bowl.

Difference between criticism and utter crap...

Wow. OK now I'm even more confused

True but at least a better dive than the wicketkeeper by a long way!

I am very much enjoying the game. I've especially found a good rhythm with tests. A few tips: 1) Don't set too high of a second innings total or the AI will really stick around. 2) Bat your first innings on your normal settings and then change it to Hardest if you go into your next innings with a lead. It makes batting basically impossible but is fun when you have runs in hand. 3) Don't play with short leg or basically anyone 5 feet of the batter on the leg side. You will get too many wickets this way, even if they aren't bat pad you'll get a ton of acrobatic catches on well driven balls.

The new challenge I have is finding pitch settings that work so stock good length balls actually bounce near or about the top of off. Killing pitch bounce and ball bounce has helped but then the friction is so high that the ball rarely carries to slip. Similarly, using a hard deck leads to great AI bowling but then every good length ball is 6 inches above the bails while my full length ball still stays quite low.

Can people post what physics settings they've found the most success with in tests. I find the Rumple sliders are great for when I'm batting but I can't seem to find a sweet spot for when I'm bowling. Cheers

Day 4. Some very faint running tracks.

I had one where I was Australia Warner was on 1 and broad got him lbw I thought oh that’s close they didn’t review and it was hitting felt good I like those aspects when they appear
