13.04/13.05 Database Errors

[Graham_5000]

There have been no database changes in the latest version so we are keeping this thread open.

There hasn't been a database update for a while so I succumbed to temptation and downloaded the editor, in order to retire Kallis from tests and T20 internationals, and Smith from all international games (I don't like editors!).

One thing I noticed, is that players often deteriorate quickly when they hit 30. I noticed this with Cook, Amla, de Villiers and Clarke. I don't think this should be the case - especially with batsmen. I would understand a fast bowler deteriorating after 30, but perhaps this is more down to becoming more injury prone?

I think players should become more injury prone after 30 and/or their fitness level should take longer (even with physio time) to recover to maximum.

Mascarenhas has just signed for Hobart as a domestic player. Could you please include this in the next edition

I think it might be worth boosting Beuran Hendricks a little more - Donald is reported to have been extremely impressed with how he swings the ball at pace and he had a great time in the FC SA A games recently, averaging 19 with the ball in the two recent series.. What do you reckon?

Defiantly one of the most promising young fast bowlers around

This is after 8 different saves on "normal" difficulty - 2-5 years of gameplay in each save so be assured that what you're seeing is definitely accurate.

I'll also try my best to remain unbiased in my judgment and provide input that will be beneficial from a fairness standpoint. After all, all we want is to have a game that portrays abilities accurately.

Pakistan:

Pakistani Bowling - They have arguably one of the best bowling attacks at the moment. But in the game, they do not resemble anything remotely close.

Adjusting two bowlers might fix that.

Junaid Khan: This one is a *MUST*, his average at the start is 22 and it jumps tremendously after the first 2 years to near THIRTY!! This is unacceptable, it should around 25 in both formats. He is our strike bowler & a brilliant talent at that, similar to Amir.

Raza Hasan: Great domestic record, great debut series against Australia (T20), great T20 economy, an amazing prospect and wildly underrated in the game, starts off averaging 35 for me.

Please insert Mohammed Amir into the game, perhaps with a major injury that he recovers from in 2015, he should be our best player from that point onward.

Nasir Jamshed - Bring him down slightly, as his form with the bat has not been good this year, he's still a very talented batsman but should improve as the game goes on instead of maintaining an average of 40 in the game, perhaps start out with a 36 and improve to 40 over 3-5 years. (Speaking in terms of ODIs atm)

Umar Akmal - Very underrated, definitely the best batsman in the lineup; needs a good boost, ends up averaging 35 for me after 5 years, should be 40 at a good strike rate realistically.

Umar Amin - Should be a batting all-rounder in the Ravi Bopara mold - (Slightly better batsman), should average a decent 34-35 in both bowling & batting in ODIs and close to 37-38 in First Class.

Haris Sohail - Massively underrated - averages around 31 for me in both formats atm while his starting F.C. and List.A averages are 50 & 40 respectively.

Babar Azam - He's our most touted domestic prospect from the U19 crop, he'll improve at first class cricket with time, but he's started off his career in a blistering fashion with a List.A average of 50 & a T20 average of 64


Please do address these issues and us Pak fans will continue to buy & support this wonderful game!

May seem petty but i want to use him... Matthew Wades bowling is RFM not RM

[muzzy]

Fawad Ahmed is only 31 years old, in the game his age is 34 years old when you start a career with Australia. Also Gurinder Sandhu's bowling ability needs a boost. Nic Maddinson is also under rated.
Pakistan have a young bowler playing for them in the under 19's called Zafar Gohar for some reason he isn't in the game.
A few young county players are too under rated, Zafar Ansari his batting is hopeless and his bowling is under rated, his batting needs to be increased a lot.
Josh Cobb - batting needs to be increased
Jason Roy - batting needs to be increased
Adil Rashid - bowling needs to be increased

I was looking at the all time greats list for Australia when picking a side for a test series and noted a few discrepancies and missing players:

Rod Marsh and Ian Healy missing (there are only 7 keepers of which two were no more than backups at best)
Boon listed as keeper
Langer listed as keeper
Mark Waugh was not an opener at test level
Doug Walters was an all-rounder
Tim Paine is not an opener at first class level
Mitchell Johnson and Andy Bichel are bowlers who can bat a bit, not all-rounders. Even Paul Rieffel could be in this category
Phil Jaques is on the Poms list even though he played for Australia

What is funny is if you go to the Classic matches there are players there who do not come up on the All Time list

Jaques will be in the England list because of his time with English counties. Marsh and Healy are both in the game. Other points all noted.

Mash and Healy are not there - see screenshot - http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6507/2bbm.png

Understand Jaques is on the England list but he shouldn't be. He played for Australia, not England. He isn't an all time great for England (well, not Australia either I guess) so shouldn't appear on their list.

Noticed some missing Pakistan "great" players. Was trying to play a series with a Pakistan 82 side. Missing Mohsin Khan, Sadiq Mohammed, Mansoor Akthar, and Haroon Rashid, all key players in the 80s. I'm not sure Tahir Naquash is in there either. Please can we have an update? Great game btw have not played this game in years.

ms dhoni

hi,
just wanted to share that in the game....ms dhoni is very under rated,
i have been playing the game since 2001
but as of now i have found everything perfect but ms dhoni never ever performs except sometimes in test matches
i have tried playing him with each and every level of aggression in odis nd t20 ...he hardly performs ..as in maybe once in 10 games...that is nothing as compared to his realistic charm
he does alright is test matches but never performs in odis nd t20so due to dis i am forced to pick dinesh karthik or some other guy in my online team
and change nd captain preference to virat kohli instead of dhoni
i hope you can fix this up please

[Sheharyar]

I would like to mention here that Tim Bresnan is stated as defensive , he should be aggressive or moderate and Nasir Jamshed should be aggressive although he has been slightly slow in run making for past few months bt still his one day strike rate is in mid 80's. Anwer Ali who is selected by Pakistan for the zimbawe tour should be considered a bowling all rounder rather than bowler and he needs to be improved as a bowler.

I also think it would be a good addition to have Mohammad Amir as injured till the ban is completed.
