Gameplay patch - in development

[zimrahil]

Jonah, Shailesh and myself are currently working on a gameplay patch, much like what was done for BLC.

Our aims quite simply are to achieve the following : (ODI 50 overs only)

-increased speed when bowling (probably cpu bowlers only) can get human bowling to be faster but it doesn't look right in the game
-slight increase of seam and spin. Cannot be increased too much othewise CPU batsman cannot cope
-the right amount of edges. Too many will result in neither cpu or human batting out the 50 overs
-hopefully improved stroke selection by cpu
-cpu still predominantly sweeps yorkers (to prevent those who like bowling yorkers all time from doing so and thus encourage more varied bowling from human)
-slight adjustments to power and direction of shots for more realism.
-increased bounce off pitch for most pitch types
-hopefully more realistic pacing of innings by cpu.

All of this is subject to change and could take weeks rather than days, but this is the plan.
Managed to achieve this in BLC, but as the gamplay is worse in c2k2, getting the same desired results may prove more difficult.

Cheers
zim (& Shailesh & Jonah)

Why 50 overs? Most of us play 10 or 20 overs odi? Can u guys make it for the later. Good luck!
