Hi Kurt, any chance of a 2.647 release for the Mac version?

Sorry about that, Pat. I completely forgot. I'll try to upload it tomorrow, but my internet is kinda spotty. If not this weekend, then Monday.

^^No worries. I will wait

Hi, just downloaded the demo. Is there any way to configure the gamepad controls? I only seem to be able to play 2 shots with my xbox pad when batting and I'm doing pretty woefully with the keyboard. Just got bowled out for 15...

@Rayr27: Not at the moment, unfortunately :/ Are you using the dpad or analogue stick to play shots?

 

[Rayr27]

At the minute the only buttons which make a shot are the 2 triggers which go square of the wicket in either direction. The 4 coloured buttons determine stance. The LAS moves the cursor. Nothing else seems to make much of an impact.

On a more positive note my keyboard bowling is much better than my keyboard batting!

 

[kurtkz]

When you play a shot do you set your stance and then move the LAS?

 

[Rayr27]

The LAS seems to move the player about both before and after stance is set. Just try it again I've now noticed that pushing up on the RAS gives a defensive shot and pulling down plays a straight drive. Going to keep tinkering in the nets and see if I can get anything else to happen.

Oh right - I forgot how to play the game I wrote

Once you've set your stance you can play a shot using the RAS. Moving it down-left will play a cover drive, right will play a leg glance, etc.

@Pat: The reviewer also quite liked your commentary. A new career as a cricket commentator in the offing, perhaps?
