Why is it that every squad on the academy has doubles of some players?

As much as most of us here have come a long way with BA (for me its since the Don Bradman games), I hope GOC does well. The way Ross treats the consumer Is not on. Does he really not care where the money comes from?

On that note, immediately after the patch, I had the fielder missfield through his legs at point. It seemed like a real late reaction, unlike mid-on not fielding the ball that passes right by them.

I too don't use any pitch marker save for the ball length marker. I won't lie usually there is a high element of premeditation (in the shot choice), but sometimes I get into the groove. I won't step accros pre-delivery to force a shot as it feels wrong. The classic settings for batting and...

I have noted since the patch that a few Protea players look horrible now. Don't know why that was changed and it seems to have affected the academy versions.

Save for the fact that the keeper/bowler comes up to the stumps after this patch I have noticed a lot more misfields which comes across as poorly scripted.

I just have to share this even though it is strictly a career mode anecdote/gameplay story. Bowling in a domestic match, an edge went quickly to gully who parried it to 4th slip who completed the catch. I've never experienced this in any BA cricket game and appreciated the realism of the...

On that note why do all the squads have so many duplicates? It has been so for a few months now.

This game is unfortunately the sum of its broken parts, to a large extent being poor communication and disdainful treatment of the consumer (looking at Ross).

In my experience, every now and then the game offers such a real experience where you feel you set the batsmen up. Sadly not often enough though. The scripting of wickets has regressed with patches. In the game's current state you can predict a wicket (the batsman will edge the ball until it...

Is it just me or does every team in the academy have multiple duplicates?

Given the state of BA cricket games I'm not holding my breath. I think it will wait and see what it does review wise before taking the plunge. It's a shame though, I literally played rugby 08 for years.

Dynamic lineups really kills the immersion for me. I get that in 2030 some of the guys would be getting on in years but its still a game. If only there was an option to turn it off.

Agreed

"Early Access" being the new-age term for unfinished..like C24 was on release

BA cricket games induce outrage for a few reasons: Despite almost 10 years of games (that I have played/can recall l) basic and fundamental issues exist such as keeper running in, fielders throwing in the opposite direction, overpowered spin and top edges flying for six, to name the bare...

Not quite, there are no international players (Salt, Pollard, Paul, Buttler, Malan) in my career mode despite existing in the downloaded squads.

I'm in my second season of SA20 and still the downloaded squads (@Llewelynf) are not pulling through on my career. I can view squads in Team Editor and they're as per download but in the career the squad is a combination of domestic and club fakes.

From Don Bradman cricket I've only had 2 or three top edges that were either taken by the keeper or one of the slips, the rest fly for 6. As you say they go for 6 right behind the keeper without fail.

The scripting for fast bowler wickets have become absolutely laughable: Get smashed with a pull shot two balls in a row, somewhere in the over the batsman will be caught in the deep.
