Bowling the CPU

[Ausnick2001]

Hi,
My problem is this: every time i get a wicket, it is either an edge or a catch, i never bowl the computer, is there any way i can bowl him more often? Is there some walue i can change using the patch maker or do i need to vary my line and length more? I alway bowl just outside the top of off stump with the occasional swinger and seamer.
Thanks

mate just play the game a lot... and u will get wickets and also read the AI Reviews and chose one AI Patch which u like from the reviews.. and u will start getting wickets..

Hes saying that he doesnt get wickets tat are bowled, not that he doesnt get wickets lol

 

[F4rrukh]

well thats what i said to him.. keep trying so he can get bowled wickets instead of edges and catches..

yeah, but try doing what? i have been playing for ages and i reckon i have got about 4 or 5 bowled wickets out of hundreds and they mostly are against tail enders, what should i try doing?

Mate...are u aware of the EA bug...i.e low full tosses which batsmen mispredicts the line and get bowled or LBW.....
i remeber..with this bug...i got all 10 wickets bowled!!!!
But tbh...this is of no use as its a bug!!!!!

yeah, im looking for a more realistic way of getting the CPU bowled. C'mon guys, theres gotta be a way, how do you bowl the cpu?

Well.. according to what you said earlier, you haven't played cricket 2005 for an year. So how can you suggest him anything? :

Try search option. You will find something helpful.

pitch a 1/3 paced inswinger on the batsmans feet and eventually he will try to drive the ball and get bowled middle or leg stump. It's sort of a bug but it does look realistic and doesn't always work.

I Have tried that recently and found i got smacked over the bowlers head for 6 but i will try it more frequently

Use reverse swing and take the marker as far back as possible from where it appears, this takes the pitch to just infront of the batsmens feet so they have to play a front foot shot. If they try to attack, they will almost certainly be bowled
