The best trick of all that I have found out to restrict the runrate of both pc batsman as well as ourselves is to make the following changes in the config file fast.cfg,legspin.cfg,offspin.cfg and swing.cfg (These files can be found in the main dirctory - x:codemastersblc) :

RollingResistance is set to some number and lowering will slow down the rolling of ball after a shot is made. The ideal number that I have found out are the following :
(condition 0 refers to Damp Pitch
condition 1 refers to Green pitch
condition 2 refers to normal pitch
condition 3 refers to hard pitch
condition 4 refers to dusty pitch)

Change the RollingResistance in each of the above condition in the fast,offspin,legspin and swing files to the following

condition 0 : RollingResistance 64250

condition 1 : RollingResistance 64300

condition 2 : RollingResistance 64400

condition 3 : RollingResistance 64450

condition 4 : RollingResistance 64500

Result of the above changes :

1. Will restrict the runrate to near realism.
2. Boundries are hard to come by, you will need to time the short to perfection.
3. Game can adhere to only 2 fielders outside the 30 yard circle in the first 15 overs and still keep the runrate very realistic.
4. You will need to run that much harder and convert ones to twos and twos to threes.
5. Not easy to pierce the infield, will need good timing.
6. The ball wont roll over the crowd, hit the terrace and come back et al.
7. If you need quick runs in the first fifteen you will invariably have to go over the top.

There are few more impacts which at this point of time cant recall. If you guys find with any problem trying to do this, do feel free to mail me, I will send across the file that I am currently using.

Cheers.
 
You guys are asking indiansnz to e-mail the files to you but he's described how to do it?
Indiansnz has taken the time to explain fully to us what to do - so surely you can use a simple text editor??
 
iant is right
all you need to do is open the
fast
legspin
offspin
swing
files using notepad wordpad and change the figures as suggested.
 
Indiansnz - thanks for the files; they're great!
 
Great work Ravi.I would never have had the patience to find out all these values r 4.Now maybe u can find out what some of the values in compbat and internat.cfg do
( diffbias,randombias,cpu history ...blah blah blah...) ;)
 
Well one reason I described the changes was for everyone to know what it does. I dont really mind mailing you guys the files if you all wanted it to be mailed, but please mail me first so that I can reply rather than cutting and pasting your email id. Thanks for all your feedback, its good to know someone finds the changes good.
