Please please let me know that is the mini game while fielding in the inner circle for ground shots removed or improved??? If yes then how is the reaction now! Can singles be stopped?

Wonder if, there can be improvement on AI feild placements and strategy as well.

I played one test match and now playing a 40 over game in Australia first class. What i observed is
Some weird batting animations still there
Human batsman trying to play flick shot of good and pull length deliveries pitching on outside off stump, then the batsman takes coverdrive animation but ball is going to fine leg. It's a bug and still there right from launch on pc. And one more thing that is backfoot cut shot taking the animation of pull shot but ball is going to gully.
These 2 weird shot animations i have observed till now.

Asked this myself. It's pointless doing the mini-game ground fielding in the inner circle if you can't actually return it a little quicker than normal.

You mean wicket keeper is now taking the bails off quickly for runouts ?

How is test match batting now ? Someone posted that its too easy now atleast for them. Do you also feel the same or is it fine for you apart from these 2 weird shots?

No i don't agree with that and test match batting is good now as i played pro with hard hard except those 2 weird shot animations batting is good.And one more thing front foot pull shot is impossible to play.

Can anyone confirm if the following has been fixed

1. With default batting modifiers ON (irrespective of easy / hardest), whether we have precise control over footwork (LS) and being able to connect bat to ball in right direction (RS) & vice versa i.e with batting modifiers OFF, being able to have precise control over foot movement (LS) & connecting bat to ball (RS) in right direction as desired...

IMHO a weird bug because ideally with the modifiers ON, you should have precise control over direction of LS & RS than otherwise....

2. Weird shot animations as stated by @kiran varma above....

@MattW any hope of introducing AI selecting custom fielding in upcoming patches ?

 

[Ace123]

Late cut is played now instead of prod

Is it front foot late cut or back foot ?
Because the prod shot was on the front foot and playing a late cut in front foot (Dravid) is rare.

Thanks.. will be waiting for your updates on 40 overs match [DOUBLEPOST=1526451174][/DOUBLEPOST]@Spoobir I remember you posted a video couple of days back about timing for few straight shots in ground training. Did you get a chance to test those shots again after the new patch?
