Yo
Your academy creations are excellent, your version is right but developers not only limited in making pitch marker settings easier, they have also tweeked ball marker and difficulty settings so that hardest has become easy to bat now. One thing is clear -- if we struggle to bat then we learn to play defence, leave the ball and slowly we start enjoying the batting. But now we can easily bash boundaries
I can agree with your statements. My only issue was with the pitch marker, that is now fixed. I can also understand that a lot of people here enjoy playing Tests on hardest (I love simulation-style/realism myself, and that's how I've played the majority of my games, whether cricket or football). I have no issues if BA decides to up the difficulty back to what it was on hard and hardest without breaking the pitch marker again.
Furthermore, the reason I had to write that post above is that I've seen many times in gaming communities that people skim over someone's arguments/points, and write an entitled reply such as “just lower the difficulty” or “get better”. I believe we can engage in respectable conversations without labeling others as “immature” while taking an effort to try to understand their arguments before jumping the gun on that reply button.
Lastly, and this will probably be my last post on this thread, I hope the game becomes fun for all of us. As all of us (I hope) have paid money for this game and deserve to have a product that caters (or at least, tries to) our needs.
