2009 Features Requests

You can see the form of your players on the second team. You can also see their recent batting and bowling performances.

Perhaps you could be a little more specific?

[Bobby]

I meant like being able to look at the scorecards , see the coverage like you would with your own match , so you can see where they play their shots , and a full breakdown.

Also , to see how the youngsters were developing.

I would go further and ask for some sort of fixture list etc for them, against (totally fabricated) club sides and other county's second XIs

[Manickam]

There should be more rain , injuries , show speed of balls and create players.

[qpeedore]

I think that ball speed would be a good addition also.

[Mongrel]

From playing a county game for a few seasons, I still think the computer generated scores are a bit off (i.e. far too low). Most List A games see scores of 220 at most and you never see a score of 300+.

Obviously the Twenty20 game also needs a few tweaks.

2009 feature request

Could it be made possible for commentary to include names of players??
So rather than just a great shot for four, it be What a wonderful shot by Ponting. ???

Please advise, if possible for most of the players if not all?


Also the missing match conditions and pitch report commentary at the toss stage !! It was a very good feauture thats removed in 2008

[Sureshot]

I think the commentary using players names would involve a license.

[rishi]

surely we would be having a license to use their names personal details like birthdate, thn why not in commentary? Dont you think it would really take the level of game up with just ths addition.. sure do know many do play even without commentary or highlights. but still feel, it would be a nice addition.

Also what do you think guys about having to see your players perform in training sessions?? I know it immediately doesnt click as strategy/tactic involved game with that, but certain persistent weaknesses can be spotted or worked out upon?? even for youngsters or 2nd team players

[qpeedore]

With names on commentary, the sheer volume of extra data would push the game's size up considerably. It may not be able (at least it would make it harder) to be downloaded if that's the case, and that would lose the company a certain amount of sales from people who download the game.

[Simbazz]

However, the ability to let people put in commentary would be good!

[Isura]

Field Settings: They are not realistic for one day and T20 games. Default fields should include sweepers/long off etc for defensive fields like traditional one day fields. Also, it should be easier to push singles (on lower aggression) against defensive fields.

Here's an idea regarding 'A/B' teams: Give every nation their second XI team and have them play tours throughout the year (though not necessarily at the same time as your first XI) - you don't have to control them but it would be like a county second XI - what you do is get to pick your own squads for the second XI and maybe even lineups, then it autosims those games for you so that you can see how your batch of youngsters and fringe players go in an international setting.

Another one is that in the county game England always seem to pick full squads for an entire home tour, instead of the standard 12 man squad per test and a 15 man squad for an ODI series. It's annoying when your players get picked and then don't play, for tests particularly it should be the same as when you're playing as an international team, a 12 man squad each game.

[rishi]

question??

i dont think its most suitale for this thread, but it popped in my head whilst reading here

Q is training and development of players only happening thru human players (using coaching points) or does AI also does so for other of its players through technique training??

If by any chance that is not happening, it makes it relevant to this thread.
I would prefer computer also developing players not just through way of experience but by technique traning and all.

thanks

[Mongrel]

Actually, I'd like to be able to pick seperate test and one day squads for away tours. I think it's an absolute must that really should've been implemented as far back as 2005.
