What difficulty? I've had a few wickets off edges to the keeper, a foot/bat wicket surprisingly. A couple inside edges on to the stumps. Just hunting for that first clean bowled though. I'm on Veteran, Hard/Hard
I am going to go to Veteran soon as well, Pro is getting easy to play!

Oh man this is really good. Feels like OG DBC. Plodding away blocking balls against pub players in suburban grounds. The varying degree of xp/ap/ability tiers is overwhelming i hope it's as deep as it looks on the surface but hard to tell what is what in the xp earned. Need a tutorial. I've been banking my xp and will apply after the first season to feel a jump in my players ability

Hey can anyone tell me how on my calendar I can play in the ODI Cricket World Cup? In My Career, I can see The Ashes, in August, I started as Ben Stokes, surely he would be selected in the ODI squad?

Hi guys
Wondering if anyone could explain how you can improve skills as they seem to be locked and I have tried playing matches and then simming matches and they don’t improve so I am stuck playing club cricket for ages.

A lot of work has gone to get simming more realistic: you will see a much more varied set of results, from utter collapses to siege type scores![DOUBLEPOST=1559242517][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah unfortunately the begin phase is a bit of a grind if you are looking to get on quickly! Practicing in the nets also gives xp I thought?

I dont think it's clear on your skills career page....but you have 2 types of points. For example you have batting points, which are used to unlock new levels of ability, and skill points which are used to fill up the bars you unlock.

Have you been unlocking new levels with the triangle button?

How are you finding the AI is performing in your simulated career mode innings? I'm seeing a lot of 3 day games with very low scores and batting collapses. When I bat at 4 i'm very quickly left stranded as my team collapses around me. No one else seems to be able to bat! It's happened in at least 3 games in a row. Tried lowering AI from Veteran to Pro and still happened.

I’ve had exactly the same, I’m usually 40 for 5 simming to my career player , it is a little better is you don’t sim , and 2nd innings had a couple of better scores , I’m on pro AI

I am directly in first class, due to the Indian Career Mode not having those 3 day matches or any particular club cricket. Mine has been just okay.
