Ah so that’s my problem

That's never changed!

I tried the new patch i have played it a few hrs and whilst the stump physics are better have Big ant gone the other way now and the stumps never come out the ground. of course before the patch stumps flying all the time was crazy because if its just knocking the bails off all the time with any bowler but more so with a fast bowler that's unrealistic the other way there needs to be a happy balance sometimes the stumps fly out the ground and sometimes they don't . Has anyone had the stumps fly out since the new patch ?

The run out bug is killing the game since the new patch.

Yes.. they do.

Is that how difficult it is to get run outs/stumpings due to the ultra slow animation from the keeper receiving the throw?

 

[Naman Gulati]

I actually meant to say there are too many run outs bcz every time ball goes into the deep there is a direct hit.

What is improved in the pitch? I selected pitch wear fast and heavy cracks . Nothing visible. May be simulation ignores it but still the pitch cracks should have been seen. Why every fix is so half baked? This time the whole experience is so pathetic.

To be honest as unrealistic as it is I'd prefer that to the keeper taking an absolute age to gather the ball and take the bails as at least this way there's a sense of jeopardy in taking a risky run.

Why can't we have separate sliders for wicket chances for spin and pace? will solve this issue once and for all.

Wicket chance should have nothing to do with sliders. If it is down to sliders we may as well just simulate the game as we tweak the sliders. At least that's how I look at it. Once the outcome is driven by slider configuration it stops being a game (i.e. something you can strive to be good at) and becomes merely an entertainment (i.e. it plays out a scene regardless of your interaction).

In a perfect world we wouldn't need sliders at all for "realistic" or "preferred" gameplay but currently it would be better than broken or overpowered mechanics, I doubt there's going to be major changes happening at least with this release but the least that can happen is adding a few sliders that might already exist so users can tweak the gameplay to their liking. If that's not possible then when they inevitably fix the AI being dumb against spin something else is bound to break instead.

Had Haynes chase a wide one and edge it to gully - that was nice, though the gully catch itself had a shite animation and the mini-game didn't trigger

 

[blockerdave]

In other news, the AI has hit a number of 4s through the point boundary, and I still haven't posted anyone there. So maybe the AI field setting isn't so bad. Though I am now considering it

Preferring it to the current build of C24, even if I have to downscale my settings, a lot.

I wonder when game developers totally lost the ability to release AAA titles though. What a dumpster fire.
