This is in England domestic?

And to confirm you are saying their fitness worsens from saving to loading it back?

Yes and yes.

There is still the issue that when you injure one of the opposition's batsmen you can't get full bowling bonus points.

Often when I finish a season I will do contracts and take the team right up until the first game of the next season, then save and exit. Whenever you load the game back up after doing this every player in the squad loses their fitness. It is quite annoying as the first game of the season is when players should be at their fittest, except in this case the whole squad is unfit!

They do, if you look at your reserve overseas player's profile the season after you have him he'll have played matches. In the game each new season begins in April meaning the non-English leagues come after the English season. Thus during the English season there won't be any matches showing on their profile for the current season, they come afterwards.

Oh right, maybe I just didn't notice that..

But the reserve overseas player doesn't play single FC, OD or T20 match (unless called up for international duty) for the whole season.

But, there isn't any domestic cricket to play because during the English season it's the off-season everywhere else.

They definitely shouldn't play 2nd team cricket but rather play domestic cricket in their own respective countries. When we pick a reserve they literally have NO cricket other than from an injury, etc from the main.

I don't think they should. In real life extra overseas players only generally come to the county when the main one can't play, they don't usually hang around all summer playing 2nd XI county cricket.

Cheers - realised this was a bit of a non issue

I can see what Scritty means about it not being your team until the 2nd season ... Have seen loads of examples where I would rather play the Reserve than the main Overseas guy.

[bnd3]

Might be a bug but maybe just a case of answering the question ...
Should your Reserve Overseas player be allowed to play 2nd XI games ?
I think he should as how else will they maintain any form ?

My example is Rehman at Somerset - after 2 county games all the other reserves have played 2 2nd XI games and as a result 5 players have in excess of 3 stars of form
.... Rehman is at 2.5 stars but how will his form improve if he (a) cant play any games, and (b) if he can't receive any coaching ?

That sounds bad.

This one seemed to come off the bottom of the bat from a defensive push to a spinner and flew straight over the keeper's head for 6. Not sure how that can happen, but it did.

Sometimes Miracles Happens too

[GrahamB]

Sounds ridiculous I know but I actually did this very thing in real cricket earlier this year!!! although it was against a pace bowler of course! Brought up my 50 with a defensive leg side nudge that I played too early to a rank full toss. It came sweetly off my leading edge and flew straight over the keepers head for 6!!! (yes it was a smallish ground)

One of my batsmen edged a spinner straight over the keeper's head for six from a defensive stroke.
Sorry - didn't save the game with the 3D highlight available.
