Cricket Captain 2020 Bug Reports

[ashhh]

oh and the 'batting position preferences' is totally broken and the player seems to prefer that exact position he is batting in once you start a match, and he also prefers the position the AI select him in automatically at the start of a season. Move anyone that isn't an opener to number 3, check their preferences in the game AND after the game, move them to any other position than opening, check their preferred position during the game and after it and it will now be that position again.

TLDR - batting preferences change every time you move a non opening player

Irish players (I've seen Balbirnie, Delaney and Singh) are appearing in the domestic uncontracted list at the start of the season. They should be appearing in the overseas list.

I have come to the end of the English season and cannot properly renew overseas players' contracts. I only have the option to offer a one year contract (so cannot offer a reserve or a 20 over contract) and can only do this for one player. I have tried resigning my main player (which works), but then cannot sign any other foreign players. I can change contract length for domestic signings and resignings, but cannot change the contract type for the foreign ones.

(Sorry if this has already been addressed, but cannot find it).

No, this is a new issue introduced with today's patch, we're on it.

Squad sizes really need looked at. Season 2 and AI controlled Gloucester have 36 players in their squad.

How many do they have in the 100?

Do they have any England players?

We've fixed this issue our side, I'm doing a hotfix now for Steam, which will be available in about 40 minutes. The Apple and Android builds will take a bit longer to update.

The Steam hotfix is live, which fixes the issue with overseas players contracts for non-20Over only teams.

Hi Nige, they have 0 England players and 5 in the 100.

Of that Gloucestershire squad 19 players are on less than 30k and only 1 of that 19 played a first class game in the second season. In total 23 players didn't play a first class game so even some higher salary players aren't playing. The AI seems to bloat their squads with poor/average players when they have spare cash.

I believe the issue is driven by their basic budget of 924k. This is far too high for Gloucestershire who are traditionally one of the poorer counties. With prize money added in their total player contracts are at almost a million. Seems to affect all Counties to some degree with Derbysbire having the smallest squad at 22 which is only a couple more than real life, nobody else below 28 and Surrey with 38 the highest.

I would suggest all County budgets should be set at realistic levels from the start to reflect their financial status. This could mean some counties are unable to sign additional players/increase coaching/youth/physio budget or some would even have to start with 10k allocated to those budgets but this is far more realistic and adds an additional level of challenge for the player when choosing a poorer county. Or the AI needs looked at so that it builds proper squads.

I think this also shows that sides don't rotate enough. This could be because fitness isn't impacted enough by 4 day matches/bowling lots of overs/batting for long spells or just because the AI doesn't rotate their side due to form.

The iOS and Mac hotfix for the overseas contract bug have been submitted to Apple for approval, they will be released automatically when approved. Based on previous history, I'd expect them to be available within the next 24 hours, Mac is normally quicker to be approved.

I'm having the same issue on Android. Only able to offer overseas a 'one year contract'.

Also appreciate we may need a balance thread but very defensive players are scoring so slowly currently. I'm finding it hard to get them above a s/r of 40.

That's about fair for FC for V Def players, when compared to real numbers of most V Def players.

Yes, the Android build I'm just going to give a test, so hopefully that will be live tomorrow.

This hotfix is available now for Mac. iOS still waiting for review.

[Sureshot]

The Android hotfix is now in review with Google, not quite sure on their review times at this time of the day, but should be available tomorrow at some point, it's on an automatic release so will be live when approved.

Thanks Nige that seems fair.

Did you have any thoughts on the squad size and rotation issues?

[Sureshot]

Hi Lynx,

Not at the moment, making changes there is pretty big, not sure it's something we'd want to do mid-release.

The iOS Hotfix is live now, just waiting on Google to review Android.
