Here is my review for the game ,I divided my review in to parts one for REALISTIC settings and one
for BALANCED settings,
REALISTIC settings(The review for realistic setting may be slight wrong as I only play 1 match in it)
--------------------
1-Batting.
It is quite pointless to play a match on realistic setting as you hang around for a while
batting you will be hitting sixes and fours almost every delivery regardless of any difficulty mode
so as far as batting concerned it will be pretty easy when you practice it for a while ,the only
thing that stop scoring quick runs is the CPU bowling ability to change the pace and it is pretty
difficult to me to score runs but most of you will be outclass this factor ,so Inshort the batting is
pretty easy in realistic settings.
2-Bowling.
Same as batting the bowling is still pretty simple you only have to bowl in the good length
area and little variation here and there and you can restrict your opposition to quite low score I guess.
3-Feilding.
For me it is quite a challenge as fielding most of you is pretty hard ,but I some how manage to
do well the catching and dropping ratios for me is 5:1 and for ground fielding it is same as catching for me
I even manage to take caught bowled quite often now but still didnt understand how I did that
BALANCED settings
-----------------
1-Batting
The real game begins when you turn the settings to BALANCED settings ,as some of you thinking that
in balanced setting all the player in the world react same ,but for your kind information the player in this
settings improve and deteriote while you play matches.The batting when you play in the first balanced match
is pretty standard but dont be fool the balanced setting will show you its sign in the next match ,and the
players who play well in the first match will play in the second match more confidently(possibly thier attributes
increase but hidden) and the batting become much more realistic and form based in this settings
Here is the example I played the first match as Pakistan against westindies and In this match Muhammad Hafeez score
decently but Shahid Afridi fail to do so and younis khan and Muhammad Yousuf also plays decently ,In the second match
Hafeez looked very confidently and he again score good run same for Younis khan but Muhammad Yousuf and Afridi fails
in this match and after failing some matches (3 or 4) when Afridi opens the innings in the next match he looks like
talender to me and it becomes pretty hard to bat with him so as a result he again goes for 1
This is the result of BALANCED settings the only negative point in this is that player improvemnet and deteriotion are
too fast and if you fails in 4 or 5 innigs it is become quite a challenge to bat well with that particular batsman
2-Bowling
Same as batting the bowler will se improvemnet and deteriotion in them ,the only thing I see untill now is the
pace ,Shoaib Akhtar bowls around 75mph in the first match which I fail to hold the speed bar in high so as a result he bowl
average about 70mph in the second match in which I manage to get speed bar on higher level and due to this the shoaib pace again
rises about 80mph in the next game and then in 87mph in the next game as I manage to put the speed bar at higher levels, I cannt
see the change in swing and seam movement as I was playing while bowling movement shower to off but I m pretty sure that they
also changes later in the game
3-Fielding
you can easily see change in the accuracy and arm power in the fielder if u manage to do well with particular fielder
Conclusion
----------
I m not challenge any one that they are exactly true but you can always play 5 or 6 matches in balanced settings
to see that how much are true.
Thanks
