Spin Bowling Impression and questions..

[inertSpark]

How to bowl with 1000 RPM+? I rarely bowl with spinners but I want to know how to get that much RPM because max I got 350 RPM when I bowled last time.

The rest depends on how good your bowler is at the delivery you are trying to bowl. Don't be expecting 1000+ rpm if there are only a few skill points assigned in that area. There's a big difference between even a bowling all rounder and a dedicated bowler in terms of the skill points assigned to their delivery types.

I tried with Ajmal

Have you read the guide? It's not just there for show, it really does tell you exactly what you need to know.

2) During the Runup but before the jump, you need to choose:
Rotate the LAS thrice in the direction of your 'main stock' delivery. So if you are a leg spinnner you always move it anti-clock wise (for right handed bowler) and if you are a off-spinner you move it clock-wise. I think you always need to move it in the mentioned direction irrespective of the delivery you are going to bowl. For e.g. when bowling a googly as a leg spinner, I tried rotating it clock-wise but it didnt register the input and I had to rotate it anti-clockwise for the input to register.
To achieve the perfect timing for completing the LAS rotation, ideally the third 'complete' rotation should end at the same time as you push RAS forward (RAS control is mentioned in point '3'). Also the speed with which you move the LAS also has (I think....not sure) an impact on the rotations per minute (rpm) that you would achieve.
The target length area (incase you change your mind)
Pull out of the delivery (dont remember what is required for this and not sure if its there for spinners as well)

Yeah I did but again I got only 450. Maybe I need one video of person doing those steps perfectly

Well I don't play with a camera pointed at my controller, and I can't find anything similar. But this is a video of my first ever 1 day match with my career spinner. Two bowled wickets in the same over.

I hope you can see that I tend to wait half a second or so before beginning the rotation. It depends a lot on the skill of the bowler though, so you have to experiment with how to time it. Practice!

OK I've found a cool web app that displays your PC controller input on screen for overlaying using screen capture software like OBS (what I use). If anyone's interested its found here. Gamepad Viewer

Im going to do a video showing an over of me bowling some spin, that way you can see what I'm doing with the controller at the same time.

Give me half an hour or so, because my upload speed to Youtube isn't particularly good

Ok mate.

This is what I am doing with the controls. You can basically see the timing I am using as well as the stick rotations. And I got a wicket during my test! Bonus

I had been looking for something like that for ages, thanks.

Thanks. That's really useful. The slowness of the rotations is what has been the eye-opener for me. I finally managed to get the needle in the green consistently in a practice session by slowing it all down. Whether it helps me get more wickets I don't know...I'll have to get used to ignoring the spin meter and trusting my thumb so that I don't forget about correct pitching and line.

No problem. I've actually found an standalone app version for 360 pads now. I'll link it when I get the chance.

Yeah if you are too quck with the rotations, you'll finish the 3 rotations too early and the needle will drop before the release meter gets to the right spot.

Here is the program I found that does the same thing as that webapp I linked. It only works for 360 pads but I guess thats ok.

My question is straight n simple. How to make leg break wrist spinner bowl leg-break, as my bowler bowls off-break when I chose leg-break option which is same as Googly for leg-break. So my wrist spinner bowls googly and leg-break as same deliveries whether i give full revs or no revs.

Would be grateful if anyone could help.

The video does indeed show the ball spinning in the game but you wouldn't call this a 'representative sample' as it only shows right arm leg spinners bowling around the wicket.

Try bowling stock off breaks around the wicket to left handers = it is annoying to see the deliveries effectively go on with the arm every time.

In real all wrist spinners are leg break spinners except Murali (wrist off spinner) and All finger spinners are off-break bowlers except Kumble (finger leg spinner).

Likewise in the game I have noticed that only wrist spinners can spin in this game, from over the wicket wrist spinner will bowl offies and around the wicket leg-breaks. And finger spinners won't spin at all.

I feel after 2007 this game as motivated me to post on this forum again because of such great game, but this needs to be corrected as I feel it is anomaly.
