There is a manual that tells you what to do, and an in-game tutorial mode that tells you what to do.

When pushing the left stick up, push it in the direction you want the ball to go.

Isn't it the right stick? I thought left stick was for selecting the delivery type and right stick controlled line & length.

My mistake.

I played a lot on ps3 and managed to take wickets of AI at veteran and pro level in tests and odis. But..

I simply cant take AI's wicket in test match ( Pro level ) . I bowled 45 overs. They scored 153/0.

How to take wickets in patch 2 ?

Try harder?

The AI batting is so much better in this version.

Edges are also appearing, not sure if it's up to the right level at first class and Test level, but I'll have to see long term.

The fielding is much better (as in, not made of ridiculous super players) too.

Overall it's pretty damn good.

The graphics definitely look sharper and everything is smoother.

4 sixes in a row and still the fielders where inside the circle.......
plz help what to do????
is it due to i am playing on rookie level ??????
or is it due to i am playing casual mode and not in a competition???????

Where exactly should the fielders stand to stop you hitting it for six?

 

[anikalra123]

at least they should be standing on the boundary and not in the 30 yard circle............

​

Started career mode with Somerset (rookie). The first FC match was average, opening the batting for Somerset, I scored 4 off my career's first ball but got caught behind off the next ball.

In my first Pro40 match, I opened the batting and scored a blistering 36(8) and then got bowled by a solid yorker.

​

The stump-cam view : SOLID. After getting bowled, the pitch-map showed up but it was the stump-cam that grabbed my attention, terrific is the word to describe the experience.

Stadiums : I've played in Sydney, Dharmashala and a few English stadiums so far. The way BigAntStudios have got the stadiums model perfect is impeccable, it sure does add to the whole experience.

​

I'll be doing a much detailed review in the next few days.

On Rookie and Amateur field positions do not move based on where you're hitting the ball.

Pro and up do.

Probably on a ladder.

I found this also and the reason for this is the AI bowl to many short balls, sometimes the full over. The way to get around it is don't play the pull shot but like others it's one of the better shots in the game, i do wonder what others think about this as patch one was to easy to pull and patch two to hard.

PS I also had the AI drop me there like 6 times in a inns, almost as bad as the bowler.
