This is the patch which has the files for stroke variation, bowling variation, and outfield variation.
i have edited the stroke files of gas and tutsi and along with the abbh's stoke variation.exe this patch works fine for all formats of cricket and all updated rosters.
key features:
batting:
1. strokes go in all directions- 360 degree gameplay
2. power for each type of stroke varies accordingly it clears the infield.
3. cant hit sixes in all the deliveries.
4. even hitting in ideal timing goes to six only in few occasions
5. hard hitting of the ball goes to one or two bounce four
6. u can hit the ball to deep fine leg in ideal timing
7. using the gas's fielding for this patch is very suitable as that of the real cricket game since it has deep fine leg fielder and third man fielder
8. edges go in all directions even fours through slips
9. inside edges sometimes occur may result in the bowled out
10. only miss timed shots go for edges
11. wrong shot selection results in missing the ball or get bowled out or getting an edge
12. cpu bowls varied line and lengths
13. even cpu bowls wide in off side and also leg sides
14. backfoot shots are more powerful for getting runs but u cant hit all the balls in backfoot since the bounce of the ball varies according to the pitch type
15. outfields are so sensitive for the particular shot and the pitch type
16. six hitting is purely luck based and shot selction(a leg side six hitting shot sometimes goes so deep and sometimes in the midon.. so some probablity to be caught by fielders and sometimes goes outside the ground to six)
17. mistimed six hitting will not result in catch always but rarely
18. if the cpu bowler is fully confident he bowls yoker length deliveries
19. spl balls cannot be hit easily while result in edges
bowling:
1. the height of bounce just looks like the game using cricket and not a game using rubber ball as that of the old criket
2. the bounce varies according to the conditions purely(good variation)
3. for example u can get only few balls for a backfoot shot in wet pitch but more number in the hard one
4. u can get all types of wickets-- lbw, bowled out using hind swingers from the offside of the batsman, edges to keeper. slips, gully
5.even the cpu cannot hit sixes easily and so getting wickets for a six hitting delivery is possible
6. u can be surprised to see the tailender hitting six in mistimed shot that usually happens in 20-20 cricket
7. bowling same line and lengths to cpu will result in lots of runs
8. u cannot cheat cpu bowling on the foot.. this time it plays varied shots
9. u can get inside edges for the right balls from cpu when it tries to be aggresive
10. each special has good abilties to get wickets--- spl delivers will get wickets easily
11. cpu plays according to the field settings and the situation of the game
12. after loosing 4-5 wickets cpu goes for defensive mode making good partnership to win matches.
13. spinners has their role in dusty pitch getting good response
14. fast bowlers will bowl good in green pitches and get more edges
