test match patch

[Omar]

Hi everyone,

I am keen fan of test cricket. ( I know bit too slow but to me thats an art). I played several series at hard level and I find AI too dodgy and commentory too boring. for example against kiwis in my first innings (Kiwis declared 660/4 on autoplay) I scored 340 odd runs in first 30 overs. 90% of them were in v region. Still it refused to change the field and never placed fielder at mid on mid off or long on long off. Never changed bowlder either.

so my request to vineet is can you develop patch improving AI gameplay. How they place the innings and fielding, that will make game more interesting.

It definitely possible to change the default computer fields to put fielders in the V. I don't think changing the AI is possible,

all i can say is wait for cricket 2004 :

You can certainly change the default test fields - it just needs patience.

The ai can be changed (certainly to be more aggressive or defensive etc) however its not as easy as in ODI's. I have spent some time in looking at this area (especially the crap programming whereby left handed cpu batsmen leave deliveries alone that will hit the stumps and thus get out lbw all the time), but as yet have never come up with anything satisfactory

Thanks Zimrahil,

I appreciate your efforts. Please keep trying. You have produced good stroke play patches and ODI patches. and I have high hopes from you. du88nc, I dont have much hope from cricket 2004. Lets see. I hardly imagine that they will bother to improve many things looking at their past. But I will be glad to be wrong.

Thanks again
