A first look at patch 2! [new video on page 29]

[Bware]

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.

Nice screenshots. Can't wait to take some downsampled shots once the game comes out, see if I can get some different AA options working with nvidia inspector.

And I must say thank you to bigant for not locking the resolution at 1080p

No. The crack version just stabs you in the face and murders kittens.

You'll want to buy it - and I especially like how that seems to be a last resort for you, well done.

Excited to play some matches on PS3 after the patch. I woke up thinking I'd go play online but almost dropped my balls when it asked me to download the patch. What a surprise.
