Team Balancing (In Editing)

[Mr Snrub]

I love Don Bradman Cricket and I'm wanting to get back into playing it a lot over summer, but I'm having a problem with team balancing.

For starters when you download the latest and supposedly the best correct teams, the ratings are all over the place. For example India are apparently an overall 3 star batting team and a 2 1/2 star bowling team!

So, I looked into their more detailed stats and apparently India are something like this:

India
Top order - 3 star overall.
Middle Order - 3 1/2 star (nearest thing to accurate)
Lower Order - 1/2 a star (Come on!)
Pace attack - 2 star
Spin attack - 3 star

This is one of the best sides in the world and this is the best side you can download for it?

This kind of thing isn't unsual for all sides, but it's glaring when it comes to International sides. It seems that whoever is creating the top sides available in the Academy is having the same issues.


I started trying to fix things myself with Australia and try as I might I couldn't get them over 3 1/2 stars overall for batting and bowling! I wanted it to be something like 4 1/2 star batting and 4 star bowling.

I made a lot of adjustments to the entire team and thats what I had.

In detail it ended up something like this:


Australia
Top Order - 3 1/2 star
Middle Order - 4 star
Lower Order - 1 1/2 star
Pace Attack - 4 star
Spin Attack - 2 1/2 star

So looking at that, you'd think I need to improve my lower order a lot, my top order a little and slightly increase my spin stats to get what I want right? Well I've made most everyone in those categories as good as I'm prepared to without turning them into perfection and it's not moving those stats.

I personally think there's a problem with the algorithm for calculation of overalls or aspects of whole teams. I could be wrong, but let's face it. Every well made team you download has a similar problem with the lower order.

Is anyone else wanting accurate stats for thie international teams (in particular) and running into this?

Here's the levels I'm sort've trying to get with international teams (they should be the best in the world and not marginally better than clubs).

Australia: Batting 4 1/2 star - Bowling 4 star
Bangladesh: Batting 3 star - Bowling 3 star
England: Batting 3 1/2 star - Bowling 4 star
India: Batting 4 1/2 star - Bowling 3 1/2 star
Ireland: Batting 2 1/2 star - Bowling 3 star
New Zealand: Batting 3 1/2 star - Bowling 3 1/2 star
Pakistan: Batting 4 star - Bowling 4 star
South Africa: Batting 4 star - Bowling 4 1/2 star
Sri Lanka: Batting 3 1/2 star - Bowling 4 star
West Indies: Batting 3 star - Bowling 4 star
Zimbabwe: Batting 3 star - Bowling 2 1/2 star

Some of these are achievable of course, but it seems to always end up with the low "lower order" stats.

Any help or ideas out there?

It's pretty irrelevant how you balance your teams, it seems to have no baring on how the AI actually behave in game.
