Guys dunno if this will be moved or not but heres a little information on test matches.
The game it self is superb and ODI's etc dont need to be worried about.
I have played the game for about 30 hours now and had a couple of cracking test matches. and completed bowling to the AI on more than 8 occasions.
However with any game there are a few things that need to be adjusted to get the best and most "fun" match.
Firstly i have seen everything... top edges caught at fine leg, or gone for six and four etc.
To start with ill quickly mention the stats!
Clearly people are having good games involving the Indians. This is no coincidence as they are rated 86 for batting which is the highest of all the sides.
I have adjusted all the teams batting to between 84-86 now and the improvement is staggering. This was also backed up by SRK.
His experiment was the following:
Bowling to New Zealand first of: Had them 46-6
After changing stats and restarting on same pitch they were 195-3 going at 3.6. which im sure your agree is the ultimate test match progress.
It appears that instead of 250 being the average test match score, its more 140-180.
So by upping the stats you get your 220-400 scores.
I also like i said had India 675-6 and i could not buy a wicket.
Following on from this certain things that can stuff the AI are :
Short Cover: Guys it will get the AI out regulary, i know we should not have to compensate by adjusting things, but without it your already have a better match.
3rd Slip: Suprisingly this little blighter causes the AI all sorts of problems. For some reason he takes a silly amount of catches to the odd late cut shot down to 3rd man. I opeted for two slip and a gully instead. Not ideal but I have produced some cracking matches.
There are alot of people flying questions all over the place so i thought once and for all stick your questions in here and ill answer them asap. As some people are not lucky enough to have the game.
To finish up, changing your stats are vital. England seem a little overpowered and Australia perform strangely.
I will also post my progress reports and pictures to back up any findings I have! Im sure everyone here wants the best and most realistic game its so close it really is!!
Finally AI test match scores before changes:
212
123
196
145
Ai score post changes:
675-6 dec
345
401
278
The changes are clear!
