My Patch Version 2.0 : Complate Edition

[tutsipoppy2]

hi there....well this is the complete edition of my patch.

new features :

1. pacing for 10,20,45,50
2. difficulty tweaks for ODI and TEST.
3. all modes : easy, narmal and hard.

well....obviously this will try to provide you with a realistic gaming experience as possible.

installation is same as ravi's patches.

*those to reviewed the earlier 'beta' one as being too easy will hopefully find this as a challenge.

hope to get atleast some reviews on this one.

*will release a reversal patch as well.

[tutsipoppy2]

yea....u have use the original .GOB file which is there in the data directory.

and yea i have increased the swing and seam and also spin to a considerable amount so as to provide a good gameplay expreience.

well to be honest i have not really tried ravi's latest patches coz i was buzy making and testing my own patch.

Hi, tutsi here is my review.

Positive points +ve

1. Good CPU & Human pacing.
2. Great ball physics.
3. CPU bowls good lenght balls.

Negative -ve points.

1. CPU is not aggresive
2. not much of swing ,seam & spin visible.

To be improved:

Please try improviing follwing things :

TEST:

1. When the ball is new (For both CPU & human) there should be fair amount of edges to the slips & wicketkeeperfor all wicket types for first 10 overs. This will ensure that both CPU & Human batters are in a tight spot in first few overs and should play cautiously to built innings as this will be just like real cricket where when the ball is new we see so manyedges to the slips & wicketkeeper. after 15 overs the edges to slip shoud dry down.

2.When the ball is new for first 15 overs there should be fine edges to wicketkeeper as cpu doesnot place any slips in ODI. After 15 overs the edges should dry down considerably.

thnx a lot bumba for ur reviews

honestly speaking me myself has also seen this while playing matches that there are virtually no edges in the entire match. i am fixing this thing as you speak and will release an update really soon.

well you said that the cpu is not aggressive....well it all depends whether ur cpu team is a strong team like AUS,SAF or a weak team like BAN,ZIM etc. i also also seen this that while playing against aus and saf,etc they just smash me all around the park as against zim,ban,etc they just tick the ball around, i suggest you play a couple of more matches to verify this.

and the point about seam,swing and spin -

well honestly i can seem to seam the ball myself but the vaules i've set for seam...the cpu seem to seam like anything...so i think maybe its a bug or sumthing coz i've tried everything but no seam for human.

well there is considerable amount of swing and spin. it is according to the pitches. i am able to swing and spin the ball and i have tested and seen them in the game. the spin and swing amounts have been seen realistic according to the pitches to provide realism and also the cpu also swings and spin the ball with the same vaule as i have set or human players so if i increase it too much...cpu will bowl a lot of wides and this is what we don't want.

i want you to give me a more detailed revire as to how you found batting, was it easy or difficult. and what about bowling? what was the cpu's total...was it realistic according to the match lenght. etc.

thnx a lot.

Hi tutsi,

I suggest you to take the default values of edges like edge average so on from the default config files of cricket 2004.
please wait for a more detailed review from me.

adding onto bumba comments.. I think batting is a bit too easy, I can smash bowlers around from the begining ... after playing quite a few games I think the normal shots are fine in terms of power & direction(cut is an exception) but something needs to be done about the difficulty of power shots. they shud be made much harder to play....

edges issue has already been mentioned ...

bowling... if somehow visible seam movement can be added.....

batting is too easy on hard....?

i dunno how thats possible.

well....i've taken the edges thing into account and the problem with seam is just kind of a bug.

 

[qazxswedc]

yeah as mentioned above timing/power/placement etc. is great while palyiong nomral shots... only the power shots need to be made a bit hard...
also if u can improve the timing on late cut & cut against spinner...
