I took this patch out for a spin. Career mode as English legspin allrounder vs India in a test in England. Just one match, so not an extensive test. Did I take lots of wickets? Yes, 13 in the match including 9 in the second innings at 1.8. Where there any caught off the boot? About 4 out of the 13. Interspersed with these were some authentic looking bat-pad dismissals and some thin edges to the keeper. No LWBs or bowled. So generally felt fairly similar to previous patches. However, there was one catch at deep square leg that had the fielder running in from the boundary to take the catch. He wasn't sprinting and diving so it wasn't spectactular, per se, but the fact that he ran in and took the catch rather than letting it bounce infront of him was a really pleasant surprise. Generally I think that fielding has come a long way since launch.
I should really try other modes, as Career Mode seems increasingly flawed the longer I play it. It's not patchable as the overall design seems to have significant issues and then the errors in implementing this design are layered on top. There is no sense of earned progression in Career Mode. The journey to international stardom is broadly inevitable no matter what you do. There are no challenges or setbacks to overcome. I do hope that, if there is another version, they redesign Career Mode from the ground up.
