OK - I apologise if this has already been bought up, but I never noticed it this bad pre-patch. I must also admit relative to 99% of people on here I presume I've played the game a lot less. On the whole I love the game - my batting is terrible but I like that!
But the AI field settings. I've setup a 4-day game (Somerset vs Surrey), won the toss, batting first (I'm 41/9, for those wondering) but I'm batting and this legitimately was the field (in part).
Wicket-keeper, ZERO slips.
Short mid on / Short Mid off
Mid on / Mid off
Long on
Literally - no slips, and on one side three players in a straight line going down the ground.

Appreciate that getting field settings perfect for AI cannot be easy - but these are fields that shouldn't even be programmed, let alone say the AI picking a field that might be more suitable for a different format.
Also - bowlers ability to field off their own bowling is far too high. Sure - catching is very difficult but I'm not sure I've hit a straight drive yet that hasn't been stopped.
And finally - not that it matters, but with the short mid-on and mid-off in place I was getting this quite a lot: defended the ball. One player ran to get the ball and picked it up - so did the second and then the player with the ball threw it to the non-strikers end and it hit the second fielder.
Again - I love the game. But the field setting issue might stop me playing longer format games until it's fixed.
