Bowling line and Length Patch

[Propmanoz]

Now, what I have noticed in C2K5 is that whilst in the nets, you can specify the line and length bowled, and the computer will DO it, when you get out in the middle the AI always bowls off stump, on a good length, and pretty much never changes.

I have no idea of how to make patches or anything, but my idea was this: Is there any way that someone could lift the Net bowling section, and put it somehow that that would happen out in the middle? Rather than just fiddling with the size of the bowling cursor?

Probably not, although i wouldnt put it past some of our great patchers.

I cant see any method of doing it.

Thats actually one of the best ideas I have heard related to Cricket 2005 so far. Hopefully we can get some replies from our patchmakers because this looks promising.

Making the AI bowling cursor size huge will make it mixed lines donno about lengths tho

Yeah true, do you know of any patches for Cricket 2005 which make it so there is a really big bowling cursor, because as you said - that will sortof have the same effect.

From my point of view, the variation in line and length is an issue with the players' ratings in combination with the cursor size. The bowlers' accuracy and discipline ratings are so over-inflated that when combined with the tiny bowling cursor, variation becomes impossible. To that end, I have been working on editing the roster to reflect real life abilities. This is, however, a large project and is taking a long time to implement. I will try and post a sample match in the next week or two to get some feedback from people.

Uh? Doesn't affect it...

nope one of tutsi's patches do though, and the extreme Ai (i think) too.

i guess that's not fair ..their should not be any such patch which will lock bowling cursor at specific point ...one should find out the game facts ....that's the way of playing and exploring game ....

extreme AI has a wider bowling range, its very realistic, a lot more balls you can cut, you still get balls bowled on your pads as well, so it works well.

Try using Boss's patch

Make the bowling cursor more senstive or make the time in when you aim quicker

 

[britishchampion]

The aiming time allowed it a great idea... i could do this to one of the current patches however this should probally be left to the patch makers as they can choose the optimum time. One downside might be that it lockes the cursor in the central default starting position... could that be changed though?
