Cricket Captain 2020 Database Feedback

[Cricstarz]

Is the ai picking haris rauf? Maybe he could be an option instead of Abbas in limited overs? Wahab will probably only play t20s due to his age

[Ahson8]

Sureshot

I still couldnt find Mohammad Huraira the U19 opener in the new update.

Also, the AI selection for PAK in LOs is much better now. Abid ahead of Shehzad and Nawaz instead of Yasir makes sense but I'd say Bilawal Bhatti coming in for Abbas is still not accurate...Hasnain, Wahab or Fahim Ashraf instead of him and it's a perfect squad, really.

In the test squad, Raza Hasan was making it as a reserve spinner...I think this should go to Zafar Gohar, although Misbah seems to prefer Kashif Bhatti but Zafar is younger and the 3rd choice...so one of these two would make sense instead of Raza. Bilawal was again making the test squad whereas someone like Fahim Ashraf would make more sense.

Oh, and Umar Akmal is still not banned in series mode.

Thanks for taking in all the feedback again

A few things: Sheldon Cottrell's name is spelt incorrectly in the game (it is spelt Cotterell in the game). https://www.espncricinfo.com/westind...er/495551.html

A few other things on minor country players...

Tim David should represent Singapore (not Australia...although I wonder if he's down as Australian so as to avoid being classed as overseas) https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/cont...er/892749.html

James Baker's T20 int caps have been representing Samoa (I don't even know if they are in the game though!) https://www.espncricinfo.com/newzeal...er/388740.html

Cameron Gannon represents USA nowadays https://www.espncricinfo.com/usa/con...er/326635.html

Juan 'Rusty' Theron also plays for the USA: https://www.espncricinfo.com/usa/con...er/223642.html

Dane Piedt has also signalled his intent to represent USA although might be a bit soon to change him in the game: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_...american-dream

Ollie Rayner has played for his homeland Germany since retiring from first class cricket last year https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/cont...er/210296.html

Gareth Berg now plays for Italy https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/cont...yer/44394.html

By the way - is there a way of finding all of the players from Associate nations? So far the best way I've found is filtering by T20i caps and then clicking player by player...

Thanks, we're having a discussion about this.

Dhruv I spent this morning going through your feedback, the AI picks and abilities should be much better now. Let me know your thoughts, remember it will need a new save.

A big thanks Sureshot, Can you please answer if you have you made necessary changes (nerf/buff) to database(ex Andre Russel needed a little buff) , and also randomized the AI in selecting the playing 11. The playing 11 shouldn't be rigidly constant, that's my main point.

[Lynx54321]

Dom Goodman should be RFM and Josh Shaw and Matt Taylor RMF and LMF respectively.

Updated Australian Contracts list for 2020/21

Thanks, we’ve been working on these this week. Australian State squads should be 100% accurate in the next update

[Lynx54321]

The AI still picks Chris Dent for t20s when he hasn't played one since 2016. It also called him up for the 100 which is again not realistic.

[Sureshot]

Just seeing the post from Lynx54321, asking if there will be a patch/database update anytime soon, I was wondering if the South African players, I proposed in a post to Sureshot, could be included in the all time greats?

Hi,

Firstly, can you confirm the full names of these players and their birth year.

Secondly, can you confirm what matches they played in?

Dhruv Thank you, there's some great feedback in there. I'll have a good look over and make some adjustments.

[Dhruv]

Changes in playing 11, for the IPL teams.

Also I think there should be some changes in playing 11 in teams where they have many good players.
For Ex a bowler like Hazelwood in Csk will keep on playing and other overseas player like Ngidi or Tahir will not get a chance to play.
The playing 11 should be decided according to the conditions and his performance/form in the league.
The AI will not change a bowler even if he is going for more than 10rpo in 4-5 matches, it's unrealistic .

Mumbai
* Ishan Kishan for S Tiwary.
*TBoult being a world class would never get a chance in playing 11 even if other bowlers have low form (ex Malinga) ,I am not implying that boult should play all the matches but atleast a few if others are playing below par.

Bangalore
*G Singh is overrated
*S Ahmed hasn't played an Ipl game yet he is selected in playing 11 instead of other players
*players like D paddikal, Moeen Ali will not get a chance which is unrealistic
*D steyn will play even if he is going for more than 10.5 Rpo in 4 matches , instead of this the AI should twerk the overseas players playing

Kolkata
• N naik doesn't get a chance in real, players like R tripathi are much better than him
• A Russel(needs a buff) not getting to play is a shockkker,currently his is the best t20 finisher, I see other overseas players are good too like Morgan cummins and Narine , that's why I think there should be automatic changes in the lineup and little randomization
• Why is M Siddhartha in the playing 11 instead of players like K Yadav
• Also Nagarkoti and Mavi are good players and can be included in the playing 11 acc to the conditions if it's a seamers pitch instead of V chakravarthy

Delhi
• Players that could be in playing 11 some times if others are underperforming Hetmyer, Amit mishra, Ishant sharma

Punjab
• D Nalkande shouldn't be playing in the playing 11
• Players that could be in playing 11 some times if others are underperforming C Gayle, K Nair, S cotrell, C Jordan
• The AI should be flexible in trying different players

Rajashtan
*Y jaiswal is a future prospect
*Miller is no longer a player he used to be
*Surprisngly Ben Stokes wasn't on opponent's playing 11, both the times I faced them, that's unrealistic
*R utthappa, T curran, J unadkat, K tyagi should be playing sometimes

Hyderabad
*A samad shouldn't be playing
*P Garg and V Singh are good future prospects
*S kaul, K Ahmed, M Marsh, M Nabi should be used
*Its not compulsory to use 3 great batsman in playing 11 like Williamson, Warner and Bairstow, in accordance to the conditions the AI should differ

I have worked hard in getting this facts, please don't ignore. Sureshot Chris Child
This should also been seen as an Bug report / improvement needed in AI
Playing this game since CC 2006.
Thank you

[Cricstarz]

Haha I guess its realistic becuase its literally impossible to select him in real life too

[Ahson8]

I cant select fawad alam in the internet game(test match)

Lol, poor Fawad cant catch a break
