PC Match-ups!

[Biggy]

Just a thread to post your encounters with other PCers.

Insomniac (The Sleeping Beasts) and I (Aussie Legends!) just had a good one:

Hopefully we can get a tourney going or something.

Had another game against Jack, was a pretty good game! Needed 7 off the last ball, and he decided to go body line style.. it payed off for 2 dot balls untill i carved him for 6 over point

*Last over.

However, I did beat you earlier on today after we both batted shockingly with Ollie failing to chase down just over 30.

I played against Jake I only scored 25....didnt even know the bloody controls

 

[Spinksy]

Versing Off Cutters, He better not bowl 30 yorkers though.

 

[OffCutters]

I didnt!! I bowled like 5 yorkers or so...

 

[Spinksy]

Was a good game. Nice work. Play you again some time soon yeah?

I've played 4 matches against some randoms. Won 2, lost 2, the only reason I won was because they were complete noobs. I just don't like this game tbh. Stick Cricket is much smoother. I sometimes feel like I lag, but i'm not because I play other games and it's fine but in this game is so slow. The bat moves slowly, fielders run and throw slowly, it's just not smooth. I don't think i'm going to continue playing unfortunately. Most of the time its a lucky shot by the batsman, timing it too hard, with the slowness. Disappointed

It deffintily lags at points and makes playing the yorkers impossible. That is why I am not going to play anymore randoms, its literally 30 yorkers everytime. Even some PC members bowl like that.

This game can be fun, but only with my friends on PC who I know will not bowl like douchebags

Yeah. I give them wide ones and sometime don't even move the cursor. But if I'm in dire straights, I'll bowl the odd yorker.

It seems like the cut shot is going to ruin this game. The lack of field setting and overly powerful CUT make is 100% a batsmans game. I watch cricket for the bowling so I think I might be done with Howzat in a day or 2 once the novelty wears off.

Its just not cricket then the batsman can move wide of the crease everytime and cut all deliveries. Even CR has this problem of excessive mobility for the batsman which ruins the bowling aspect of the game.

I'm already done with this game, I got so pissed with the slowness that I went and played Stick Cricket online

 

[blake]

Wow, it's not that bad Madhur... go and run along with your Stick Cricket and leave this thread.

I think the moving around is slightly annoying, but I have no idea why everyone complains about the yorkers. People try and bowl yorkers to me, I just move into the right area and bang through square leg for four, it's almost a certain money shot for me so I'm definitely happy. I find shorter balls harder than yorkers.

 

[pcfan123]

Maybe the game runs smoother on your machine then Blake, but its very choppy on mine and it makes yorkers 50% wickets as timing is damn near impossible.

They have to limit how much the batsman can move around, tired of seeing nothing but square cuts.

 

[MaD]

Yeah same, it's just not smooth enough, whereas Stick Cricket or even any other game is smooth online or not, and nobody really playes this yet, half the time the person isn't even there
