Cricket Captain 2020 Bug Reports

[MateGaming]

Have you got screenshots of the scorecard for the reduced to 14 overs match? It would be useful to know the score with wickets down when the rain came.

Screenshots are in my Hampshire story on here. Currently the post is unapproved as I originally added the wrong screenshots, but the ones there now are the correct ones from the 14-over match.

[Sureshot]

I had a t20 match reduced to 19 overs per side, but the length of the powerplay increased to 7 overs rather than decreasing with the length of the innings.

I also had another match which was reduced to 14 overs midway through the first innings, yet I had no revised target for the second innings. If I'm correct, this shouldn't be the case?

It said your private message box was full so I sent to you as a visitor message...

I only have 10 eligible players for the next match. Go to play and it will say Khan can't play because he's only a T20 player but then the match will let you play with him in the team anyway

I've cleared some private messages up, so you should now be able to. Can you try PMing it to me again? I can't see the attachment in the visitor message.

I just played the T20 semi final, won the game but then didn't get to play the final as it was an England game. I then lost the final.

Is this supposed to happen?

International takes priority over county. I'm assuming you're actually managing England as well?

Actually I was playing as Ind in that save and had selected the bowler as he had a great FC record. And R Jadeja and R Ashwin were not getting the wickets for me. The series was already lost so wanted to give some new players a chance.

Sorry, my bad! But there are several instances in which the AI seems to pick purely on FC records. Which is fine, but there is a huge difference between skill and ability and only certain players who have both should succeed in making the team.

Also, I suspect that Ash & Jaddu stopped getting wickets because the AI badly degrades the ability of skilled players with age. For example, Ash at 27 would be half as effective at 31, which is not the case in reality.

Same with batsmen, their ability degrades to almost half by the time they turn 31-32. Maybe it's something that Chris Child and Sureshot should look into. Most world class players come into their own at 33-36.

On 2019 India chased 550+ against me in 4 sessions on a minefield. They won by at least 6 wickets, maybe 7. Happened on 2019 very regularly against India or South Africa, who always have the best batsmen.

I was playing as Ind in that save and I don't believe that the problem is country specific. As my opposition Eng was also able to chase around 350-450 totals twice.

The current record of highest successful chases in Tests was broken twice. And this huge chases by me and AI have happened 5 times now out of the 9 Tests played which is a very high number given the record of 4th Innings scores IRL in International cricket.

[Preed]

Yes, agree that's quite unrealistic. And in your last chase of 434, India seemed to have a bowler called Kundu! Ludicrous... There are so many young prospects, but the AI will chose a bowler from a low ranked State side that plays only the minnows in the lower division!

[ruby23]

Playing as Ind in Normal mode and I have played couple of series - Ind vs Aus (4 tests) and Ind vs Eng (5 tests).
Too many huge totals are being chased in 4th Innings of Test matches.

Three times the totals have been chased by my team and twice have been done by the opposition.

1. Ind chased 319
2. Ind chased 461
3. Eng chased 344
4. Ind chased 399
5 Eng chased 434

I think this is high because it has happened 5 times out of the 9 tests.

This occasionally happened on 2019 online too. People playing as Surrey playing 5 overseas players.

This needs to be addressed mate as it spoils all the fun

[AkhtarPlays]

I’m not sure the game is limiting how many you play as I just played 5 on my save

Which league i guess TheHundred

[Jamesy1984]

I cannot reproduce this, can you PM me your save:

C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\Childish Things\Cricket Captain 2020\Saves

The game should produce youth players so you can have an XI, Chris and Andy have been looking through the code and can't see any issues, so we need an example.

[benj_2904]

Thanks, I've passed this on to Andy.

What year was this in? (As I've got your save in 2021)

end of that year so start of 2022 season

ive progressed back to the hundred on 2022 and I’ve had same issue, 4 bowlers promoted from my youth, so I now have the only possible team I can select having 7 bowlers, an all rounder And just 3 bats including my o/s

I just tried 6 but was told the limit is 5
