I suspect I may be covering something that has already been talked about on here, but wasn't sure what to search to find it. But was keen to get the opinions of other people playing the game.
I'm playing ICC2020...i'ts the first game I've had for years tbh as I felt when the animations were updated (back in 13 or something...I just found the game started to feel unrealistic in terms of scoring). But hooked in by some of the features such as creating my own World XI I've given it another go. But I'm just finding the scoring remains seemingly quite unrealistic.
I've read some posts on here about methods used to keep AI scoring down, but having just given it a go it doesn't feel as if it helps...so wanted to see what people thought.
I've just started a game as Derbyshire. First game of the County Championship I play against Leicestershire. They score 413 on the first day. And that was with me trying to be conservative with my bowling...keeping it game at 2 bars for periods. I know the game has become 'batting friendly' in recent years...but that's 140 runs a session...which is crazy on the first day of a championship match.
Thinking perhaps its the conditions...I push a couple of my batsman up to 4 bars to try and push things along...and tumble to 95 for 5.
Following-on...in the second innings, bearing in mind I'm now trying to bat out time...both my batsman are set at 2 bars to start with. And yet for no apparent reason after 10 overs I'm on 60?!? I think OK...maybe one of my batsman is just naturally aggressive...so I check his profile to find he's described as 'defensive style'...and has set off at a strike rate of 100 (on only 2 bars)...when his career strike rate is just 50!
This is one example of a host I've had. But I'm finding it is making it impossible to play the game. I was keen to see what other people thought/felt?
