I didn't play too much over January but I recently started up again, this time with some T20s. I've noticed that in Standard Controls ( hit R1 to activate special shots then hit x) my sweeps turn into glances seemingly at random. I tried it out in practice and only rarely does it actually load...

Figured out my question so editing. Just want to thank everyone for all their suggestions. Still loving the game and enjoying fine tuning it!

The AI gets me lbw fairly frequently and it's almost always because I play the wrong line. Make sure to shorten the window on seeing length as the bowler throws and also get rid of markers telling you where it is pitching. That said, it usually only happens after I face 20-30 balls as I get a...

Finished my test on the green top against Bangladesh and it was so much fun to just overpower them with fast bowling. Next match we headed to Dhaka and I made it a dusty day 3 pitch with fast wear. It was So. Much. Fun. Basically the ball was turning so much and it forced me to start playing...

The game is playing really well right now in tests. I used the sliders from that Gareth streamer guy and they made batting legit hard and my bowling has produced some amazingly varied results. In one test I had India almost chase me done after setting them a total of 354. Got them out with 20...

What are people using for ball bounce, pitch bounce, ball friction and pitch friction?

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...

I know it's annoying but if you manually send him back after each delivery it fixes this. Hopefully they can solve this long term but in the short term you can just get in the habit of doing it and after the first hour or so you wont give it much thought.

Yes. In the new build you need to make sure you hit circle/o to make manually send your dude back into crease. unfortunately you can even have vases where your mans is in crease but wont put bat down unless you do it manually. this seems to happen more often after a bowling change which as we...

Playing an ODI on the hardest difficulty possible with crazy challenging sliders but still going 100-0 in the powerplay because I have one lefty and the AI wont stop bowling down the leg side. What. The. F.

it's still insane to me that they still haven't figured out how to get the AI to bowl to left handers. This has been an issue since Cricket 19 and it's mind boggling that their code is so twisted that they can't unravel this. Imagine a baseball game where hitters on one side had an easier time...

Is there a reason why I can only save 3 custom competitions?

Anyone else taking left handed batters out of their lineups to avoid the giant disparity in batting difficulty? It's less noticeably in white ball but in tests you can consistently go 10 rpo for about 12 overs just milking leg side runs. I wish there was a way to avoid this but the way the AI...

Good news: fewer run-outs Bad news: Keeper sliding in front of the stumps to take catches is back and worse than ever. Might have to hold off on bowling spin so much for a bit.

Played 2 tests this weekend. Custom tournament where I replace one of the member teams with my custom squad of dudes I like. Have to say that the overall experience was very good! The batting was great. Left handed batters still get too easy balls to hit down the legside but for whatever...

What physic settings are people using for tests? Even on a soft pitch my pacers "good" length ball still travels 4-6 inches above the bails. I know one solution is to reduce bowling speed but then the game just feels slower and I have to switch it back when batting. I'm getting to a point where...

The batting has become quite excellent in the shorter formats now that the AI are setting competitive fields and actually bowling to them. I don't even mind the amazing run out throws because it makes me play more disciplined. Hoping they can build on this and make tests equally good. Right now...

Does Competition Mode/World Championship mode no longer show you stats at the end of the tournament? I finished one this morning and under the stats tab it just showed me bowling numbers for only 2 teams at a time. Wondering if there is a way to see full tournament/competition numbers like in...

Have to say I have very much enjoyed batting in T20s since the recent patch. The AI fields are much more competitive and the pacing of the innings worked well. Unfortunately, it's still too easy to bowl out the opposition for under 140 so I'm mostly just simming my bowling innings. In tests...

Am I crazy that you could look at/inspect the ball when bowling last week?
