Ashes Cricket 2009 v1.1 Open Beta 2

[drainpipe32]

Was happy to see reverse swing being available after the 31st over ODI, didn't a bit of damage early but the settled batters played it easily. Once the tail came in though there was stumps flying all over the place

Was it Brett Lee bowling? Against England? At Lords? :rtfl

Humans are never satisfied :P
@TG, Everything is enjoyable, everything works great. But please please^inf allow us to save custom fields and make online play harder. The latter being more important IMO!!

EDIT: I have been on PC for little over two years and my post count is terrible :P :P

Do anyone mind uploading a video of the gameplay with beta patch 2? I would really appreciate it

I'm asking because I have the game on the ps3, so I won't be able to play with the patch before the final patch releases :crying

 

[Cricketdude]

The gameplay itself isn't different. Just AI stuff such as plays and misses, run outs, timing window less etc.

So that'll be the gameplay then! :rtfl

Haha nah got bored of playing the English, Lee wasn't as effective with the reverse swing it was actually Siddle. I was trying to recreate the game going on now but my concentration went out the window when I was trying to slog everything. I was 9/100 when my last two batters put on a 80 run partnership still ended up losing by 100 runs.

My game is lagging again :/ wonder why

Just finished my Ashes series which I started with the original out of the box version. With Beta 2 (having not played it with beta 1 as I was in Sweden), I resumed the 5th Test at 222-4. This is how the match panned out:

It was great to have batting being really hard (and I did play really stupidly because I wanted to get to the bowling). Now, it's true that I did bowl a very constant line and length only mixing it up occasionally, but the batting performance from the Aussies was still horrible. It was utter carnage in the first innings.

Bowling now a tad easy perhaps?

 

[lazy_chesnut]

What difficulty?

 

[NICK_GIFF]

Hard ffs.

I'm hoping it's only happened because the match had been started prior to patching.

You got skittled out yourself after starting at 222-4 so perhaps the pitch or overhead conditions really came into play ?

Yeah but I batted recklessly and was skittled by a spinner, whilst Freddie destroyed Australia.

And overhead conditions shouldn't lead to Australia being all out for 24.

What fields you using mate?

Im a little concerned the Beta 2 has made bowling to the AI easier than Beta 1... someone tell me otherwise!!

I'm also concerned by this, but at least it'll be more fun than prepatch.
