To be honest I wasn't that interested in the state of Ross's hernia to start with.

Twistie has a video up, in case anyone hasn't mentioned it already and/or forgot to visit YouTube yesterday...

 

[BigAntStudios]

Yeah, I was going to mention he was in last week but didn't know when he was to make it live. We left him alone with the build for a couple of hours - I'm seeing it for the first time too.

Looks pretty good, that ball-speed looks tweaked to be faster off the bat even in a YouTube clip...

 

[angad]

Looks really good!! Specially the fielders....they look much more fluid and realistic !

And the running between wickets as we'll very good...Looks like Raina holding the bat up and running past the stumps when it's easy single....

Just thought I'd upload some uncompressed screenshots of the game on PC. The game is a mixed bag at the higher res - it makes some things look a lot nicer, but in some places low res textures are made much more obvious.

One area not addressed is AI bowler selections - they seem to just be based on the highest rated bowler - getting a spinner in the second over seems to be just the norm in county matches. Commentary is a bit more varied, but still frequently wrong or missing names.

Otherwise, everything listed in the change notes has been evident in my experience with it, though some of them are hard to come by, like I haven't had a duckworth lewis result yet.

Obviously though, I still need to play it more. I'm currently working through a career mode as a T20 specialist - starting at 31 and playing for Ireland internationally. I just forfeit all other matches, which is easy enough with how much faster the game loads on PC.

Does ai bowls outside offstump line more often in test matches now? Like an ai james anderson bowling all outswingers to a right hander with new ball.

Those Bradman Oval pics look bloody good hey !!!

Yeah would like to see that after Patch#2...And that too should be teasing outswingers which should create a dilemma whether to play or leave...

Matt :Can you post a video playing slog shots to see the how the AI fielders are responding to it??
