Played the game on my ps5 after 2 weeks atleast. I am batting but all my offside front foot shots are going to only cover. Not cover point or extra cover. Is this a known bug or is it to do more with my batting inputs? Remember having a similar issue in cric19 though they fixed it later
I felt like I had the same issue too but few things you should consider apart from checking out whether your controller stick movement is good all around are that:
- Confidence in this game plays a role in how well you can play shots and the range it can travel around the ground.
- When you are in say Orange/Yellow confidence, I feel the range of shots is more restricted and hence you end up feeling like you always seem to play shots to cover and the point region.
- See how the shot range feels when you reach green or the highest confidence which is light green. IMO the range should get better in this.
- The fielders are more agile and responsive in this game compared to any other BA games, so that also plays a role where they can cut off the shots much more they used to do before this game..
- The stance/guard you take while batting to me seems to matter on the angle of shot you are able to achieve.
With that being said there are still instances where I felt they don't respond to the finer angles I try to create say while wanting to clear the short third man because they play mostly towards them or slightly to their left and they dive to cut it off. But overall I think it's a combination of many things which makes us feel like there's something off because we are used to a certain gameplay before this game and we want it to respond similar to the way it used to be.. But things have gotten better in many aspects in batting that I would recommend you to give it the time and try to settle in and see how it plays for you..
