Yep you r right treva.I told Eddie similar thing few months ago that i am using your ODIv4.4 and its very good.I haven't use other AI's till then.
I havent tried it batting but i think i will use another patch for that :0

i first saw it on the patch reviews andit looked good for bowling

I shall be using it for all bowling in the future, all though no LBW's and only 1 drag on!!

any chance of making it more LBW and bowled friendly??

Ok, What I am uploading is a BETA TEST of a BOWLING PATCH for 4-5day matches (CPU batting).

This is a "work in progress", but i need a little help testing it.

** Aims / Objectives **

1. Make CPU bat more aggressively, but without "slogging".
2. Create a "risk & reward system". **(see lower for details)
3. Increase number edges , also their power and direction.

"risk & reward"

Batsmen will be most vulnerable at the start of their innings. That WILL be you best chance to dismiss them. However you WILL need to have attacking fields to catch the edges. The CPU will be punishing to balls outside the stumps. If you bowl good lines/lengths the CPU will defend or push singles etc.

This leaves you the choice to set attacking fields and conceed for more runs, in the hope of getting wickets. OR . Setting fields to stem the flow of runs and risk those catches NOT going to hand.

Thats the idea anyways.


( please do NOT try to bat with this patch it will be too hard for the human player)

Does this need to be added to one of your gameplay patches Eddie or will it work with other people's? Bear in mind that many other patchers have edited thes strokes differently than you might have and so the results could vary wildly. I would suggest that you try and get people to test using the same configuration. ;)

the zip file contains strokes and AI...( or it should)

Only other mod i used, was to "reset" the speed + agility of every player in the roster to 30.

Makes fielding more realistic.

So all you need is in the ZIP file.

Give it a go an let me know how it goes..

BRIEF REVIEW!!!

Ok i was playing England V Aussies i was Australia bowling on a green wicket start of England Innings.

So first over batsman was late on a leave which hit his pads but was not and lbw wide of stumps so second ball hit for 4 then beat the batsman for pace and it beat his edge first time i ever saw this happen and this was without seam movement from the green pitch it was a totally straight ball then the cpu was pretty aggressive so i changwed the fireld edge Strauss who was batting agressivly then to cut the story short i also got Tresco and Cook to edges to beautifu bowling patch havnt had any bowleds or LBWs but i kno you can get many in this patch maybe you could make the cpu a little less agressive then it would be great but for now its amazing i will be using it and i do recomend it to all users!!!

I will certainly work on the bowleds & LBW's..

I tend to get LBW's against left handers on green pitches when the ball seams back into them.
