| To pick up on a few questions asked:
- you can advance at any time (hold both the front and back foot shot buttons down)
- the crack are 'semi-cosmetic', in that each specific crack doesn't do anything, but if you pitch the ball in an area where there are cracks, it makes the ball harder to hit or something.
- I think you may well be able to hit the non-striker with the ball, however this feature may have been taken out...
max dillon: the catching system is quite easy and I don't get how you're not getting it, especially considering how many times it's been explained. When a catchable ball is hit, the camera angle goes behind the catcher. The ball gets a coloured corona, starting red, turning orange, and finally green, before going red again if you're too late. Press the catch button while it's green to definitely catch it, on orange to maybe catch it (dependent on skill rating) or red to drop it. The risk/reward thing is that if you wait til it turns green, you may not react in time before it turns red again, so you drop it.
stevo mentioned that the cover drives feel really good, which they do. My favourite shot to play, however, was the sweep picked up from outside off stump. If you choose a FF shot and aim towards fine leg, if the ball is outside off the batsman will get down and try tweak it 'round the corner'. This sort of thing could make ODIs really interesting, as you will have the batsman being able to move the ball around into gaps, even when you're trying to bowl to your field. |
