Cricket Captain 2019 Database Feedback

[ruby23]

The selection of players during the course of the game should primarily be from the young Under-19 players of the present 2018-19 season. Random AI generations are killing the realism of the gameplay. At least till 2030 season, 90% of the players should be real and not fictitious.

Wow, great work! You are correct he should be a seam bowler not an off-spinner! I am surprised no Bangladeshi players picked up this earlier, as he would always get picked for Bangladesh early in CC18 and was a very good spinner.

Can he please be changed to a seam bowler? Not sure what his speed are but I'm guessing fast medium otherwise he probably would be in the test team

I managed to find a BPL match highlights where he was clocking 121 to 127 kmh. From minute 1:30.

Just a regular medium-fast(or Fast-medium in case of cricket captain series) bowler. His pace might go up as he is still young, but he is nowhere near to get picked in Bangladesh squad, There are two rookie seamers in Bangladesh squad who bowls 135+ kmh, Ebadat Hossain and Khaled Ahmed((dunno why cricinfo showing them as medium pacer, they consistently bowls around135-140 kmh. At least in CC19 they appear FM and MF, TBH both should be MF). Nayeem Hasan in the other hands is the rookie offspinner of Bangladesh national team.

Who's that Robiul Haque? Cricinfo is showing a Robiul Haque who is a seam bowler, not a spinner.

In 2019 the AI played Shakib in 8 test matches (see screenshot below) but he only bowled 21 OVERS!!! His batting seems accurate but his bowling needs to be high enough that the AI will pick him as the fourth bowler.

Then get this, in 2020 he was dropped from the test team altogether, and Roibul Haque was selected as the second spinner with Mehedi! Common guys this is the best test and ODI all-rounder in the world!!!

I agree with you. Shakib should be picked as a genuine allrounder and not as a batting allrounder like your screenshot. In 8 test matches, he should pick around 30 wickets bowling hefty amount of overs. His ODI bowling looks ok although his economy should've been under 6.

I've found another Robiul Hoque who is also a seamer.

If Bangladesh picks 3 spinners for a test match, the first choice goes automatically to Shakib. The second spinner is Mehidy Miraz, and the third spinner should be Taijul Islam or Nayeem Hasan.

Chris lynn’s batting ability needs to be improved

Slightly improved.

What's the situation with players who get called up for a country but whose club refuses to release them?
Craig Meschede is officially German now after playing T20Is for them - but both Ollie Rayner and Dieter Klein agreed to play for the same country but their clubs said no.
Same goes for Gareth Berg and Italy.

Do you change them to their new choice of nationality?

CC 2019 gameplay is significantly improved.

But there are some Huge Errors like :-

1) Premium fast bowlers bowling most of their quota early in the innings, and spinners bowling at the death.
Example- Rabada bowling 3 overs continuously at the start of the innings, and Rahul Tewatia (LS) bowling at the death.
This is nonsense.

2)The IPL is so haywire.

-The probable playing xi
Pls fix it accordingly to the reality.

-Batting position of various batsman.
Example- Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw batting at. 4th and 5th positions. That's so sick.

-The captain in reality is different than that in the game


The developers probably don't give any importance to the IPL even if it's the most popular tournament after world cup.

Blair Tickner of New Zealand should be considered a Fast bowler as opposed to the RMF he is shown as in-game. Irl he bowled 90+ mph in the T20I that I saw.

Changed.

[bryce87]

The AI absolutely loathes picking wicket taking bowlers who cannot bat in limited overs. Chahal and Ferguson get dropped from their national teams straight after the world cup in favour of allrounders. The only reason Kuldeep Yadav is continued to be picked is because of his hidden batting ability, someone which is not even considered in real life. The AI in limited overs needs to be reprogrammed to select the four best bowlers plus two allrounders.

Also, Olly Stone only played FC matches in 2019 season as Brookes was picked ahead of him in OD and T20.

Aaron Thomason has signed for Sussex: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/48665166

Changed.

- Is there any possibility for Regens with opposite hands for skills for upcoming patches? I asked this even for CC18, and developers noted it but never been implemented to the last edition nor in the current one.
- AI should pick death over specialist seamers for death overs as well very high skilled spinners(Ashwin or Rashid khans bowl in the death overs many times).
- AI Spinners should open the bowling if the situation demands, like Offies to the left-handed batters, SLA to the right-handers, mainly if the openers are weak against spin( for example West Indies batsmen are weak against spinners thus Bangladesh often uses spinners as an opening bowler against them) or if the pitch is favouring spinners.

The first round of New Zealand domestic contracts were announced today. The associations have until June 30 to finalise squads. Among other things, there are a few extra retirements to take note of:

I've updated the NZ squads with all information I can currently find.

• Michael Guptill-Bunce Removed
• Luke Woodcock Retired
• Brad Wilson Removed
• Warren Barnes Removed

For Kent:
Klaassen is the fastest bowler in the club so should be LMF Changed
Blake should probably be Very Aggressive Think that's fair enough, his SR has gone up in last 2 years.
Dickson should probably be Defensive He's so close to being inbetween, based on 2018 numbers, I'm going to keep him as is.
Could make a case for Crawley being Aggressive Still early his career, T20 numbers suggest aggressive, but small sample. FC SR is smack on Avg/Agg swap over. I think I will leave as is for now.

[Alrounder80]

For Bangladesh, Shakib should prefer no. 3 in ODIs as opposed to preferring no. 5 as he does in-game. Mahmudullah should also prefer no. 6 as opposed to no. 7 as he does in-game. In-game, he should be batting at 6 and Mosaddek at 7 behind Mahmudullah.
