Changing bowling speed. - making it fast!

[Lou Vincent]

I posted this previously on EA Sports forum but would like to post it here for those awesome guys who can change the game's code. Can we change the bowling speed?...

"I've been playing these demos for a while now and hadn't seen any [real] Cricket for a couple months until the other night when I was lucky to see highlights of England v Sri Lanka. The difference in real life bowling and bowling in C2k2 was incredible. In real life the ball travels so much faster and makes for a far more interesting spectical. I can understand the bowling being slow for the demo which is on easy mode apparently so people can learn to play, but for those who are good and want reality, there should be room for very fast bowling. As a player I want to almost fear the bowler and each delivery, which would be exciting. This could be done on the Hard level or like BLC have a text based file where a number can just be changed. I could not find such a file in the demo."

Yes, im sure harris can bowl up to 140kph, this game isn't realistic!

Actually we are playing in the easiest mode in the demo.Do you know that in the hard mode the green marker does'nt come when you are batting in the original game.So if EA add more speed to the ball you will not be able to play in the hard mode.

about 25% of the cpu's deliveries are yorkers..so if the bowling speed is increased too much than it would become impossible to sweep of fast bowlers,and as we all know,sweeping is the best way to play yorkers in this game.

Cheers.

Wait a minute guys, you're getting me wrong.

EA have got the bowling radar speed fairly accurate, but the time it takes for the ball to actually get from the bowler's hand to the bat is much shorter in real life than in the game. I don't want to make it say 170km/h, I just want a quicker travel time. Has anyone figured out how?

As for the yorkers, you can't sweep a yorker in real life anyway. This is a bug - the yorker is a good bowl and should be blocked or driven. I do this and still get big scores.

Hey is it true that on the hard level the green marker will disappear.If it is true than it will be the one of the hardest game played by ne body.It will be definitely wonderful.

Well sunilojha84 unless they have changed things from the PS2 version it doesn't disappear, it would be too hard!!

Actually amber22 in his post written that green marker will be disappear in original game but if it is not really even than i think we can do that as we do it in blc.
