Database Errors

[Sureshot]

Please see other stickied threads for full bug fixes.

Relevant changes:
Further amendments to player database (forum feedback).
Adjusted player abilities for 2nd tier Indian teams.
Included Aus state and T20 squad changes.

A note on Aus T20 changes. There are two changes which might get noted as errors. David Warner and Crosthwaite. Warner is very likely to play for same as last year due to being captain. Crosthwaite is in as Adelaide don't have a keeper otherwise.

We will update this in any further patches if more signings are announced.

I'm going to go in to the other DB thread and pull over any changes, I think there have been some posts since this versions database was finalised.

Fire up a new save and see what you think.

Again, please remember these changes will only come in to effect on new saves.

---------

Suggested changes carried over:

Tymal Mills improvement
Gary Ballance to aggressive or higher
Azeem Rafiq improvement
Matt Henry batting improvement
Sinclair to medium (or defensive, his List A strike rate in recent seasons hasn't been too bad) bat aggression

There have been changes made elsewhere (some changes I disagreed with, so didn't make, mostly ability wise), particularly to Indian 20 over, so see how that is with a new save.

As I've said in previous years, best way to make a judgement on ability is to look at different saves and over several seasons.

Heard that Ballance is eligible for England now in some article.

Why is Mitch Marsh opening the bowling for Western Australia? he's not a bowler. He's more a batsmen. His bowling rating needs to be put down and his batting rating should be higher.

But my view are different he has some X factor good bowler too as well as
ability of great captaincy

1. He's not fast enough to open the bowling
2. Captains dont open the bowling
3. He's a batting all-rounder. Which either means a) his bowling's overrated b) everyone else's is underrated c) there's a lot of players on international duty.
The only reason he would ever open the bowling is in a limited overs game on a really slow pitch to give the batsmen no pace to work with, yet still implement a fast bowler's swing

Hysterical - number 2 !!
didn't realise this was some sort of rule
Does this mean broad will never open the bowling in international 20/20 games ?
Or afridi when he was captain ? Or gayle ?

Chris Cooke of Glamorgan is a Batsmen Keeper not just a keeper.

I used to think this about nearly every keeper. I'm now fairly sure that the batsman/keeper symbol is reserved for part-time keepers, and it is assumed that all keepers are batsmen.

Wasim Akram captained and opened the bowling

True but for Glamorgan he has yet to keep I think and when he plays he plays as a batsman. Glam's second choice keeper is Will Bragg.

Okay if that's what you're saying - that he's a part-time keeper - I'm not disagreeing with you.

Kevin Pietersen is believed to be considering a deal to play in the Big Bash League, with Melbourne Renegades and both Sydney sides - the Sixers and the Thunder - hoping to secure his signature.

Just bit of info, so in the next patch if he does sign to one of the teams, it would be great if hes included

[wasim_akram]

Okay I don't know if this is a database error, but I see when I play English domestic season with Lancashire that Abdul razzaq is signed to play 20/20 AND List A which is great and when I play Aus domestic that S.Afridi is signed to one of the teams.

But if I play Indian league and control an international side like Pakistan that hes not signed to play for them and same as S.Afridi is not signed to BBL team, as I think both should be listed to play for their respective domestic teams abroad while playing in all modes.

Cause it takes the realism away, it would be good to see them playing overseas leagues. Cause in previous versions, Pakistan domestic players did get signed to English county teams and it was listed at the top when you click on them that they play for say Lancashire and Pakistan, or play for surrey and Pakistan etc...

How come Johan Botha is allowed to play for South Australia if it says that overseas players are only allowed to play in T20 games?!?!?

This is because South Australia have a deal with Botha in real life that means he will captain our team their team for 2 years in one day and FC. Shield teams are allowed an overseas player, they just generally opt against it.
