a few bugs

One or two bugs I have found in this otherwise good game,

When I start a new game, the menu shows the number of overs that I had played in the gmae before shown, but If i play a game, It always goes to 5 overs unless i re-select otherwise.

Also, you can make your opponents run when you are batting in the same way you make your own batsmen run

Thanks Alan


Those will be fixed in the next release. Also, if you have any ideas for new features I'd love to hear them :)

Ideas


Pre-haps the ability to play a 'block' or defensive shot, maybe by holding your finger in the right place might be nice

I know this might be quite hard to do, but maybe your able to pick which end of the crease the ball is thrown to when your defending, or you have to time the throw right somehow to get a good throw back?

Just a few ideas

Alan

agreed


Maybe just tapping the middle should block the shot, another bug is that you can run the computer as if you were running for your own team, cheap way of egtting wickets ;)

If you read the posts, I


If you read the posts, I mentioned that and they have said it will be fixed in the next version, but just holding your finger down would be cool

re:fielding


Flicking to throw the ball back to either stumps was something I always wanted in the game - I really feel that it would be more fun to have the fielding a little more 'hands on'. In the end I simply ran out of time to get this in the first release.

I've already experimented with players running at different speeds, and flicking either up for bowlers end, and down for keeper once you have the ball. Apart from some bugs it introduced it worked OK, but felt a little counter-intuitive if you were at long off flicking up to throw the ball down to the bowlers end (if that makes sense).

It doubt it will make the next release, but I'll certainly dust that code off and implement if the community wants it :)

re:blocking and running


The 'running' fix is in version 1.01 of the Pro version. For standard it will be in the next release. Once you work out you can do it, it is tempting I know!

As far as blocking goes, you should be able to do it as is. If you put your finger on the screen and move it slightly towards the ball you will get the effect of a block. I'll check the code to see if it works if you don't move your finger at all.

One other thing


One other thing ive just remembered - if you try and view/change the field just after a wicket you can't because the fielders spring back the the 'celebration' position all grouped round the crease.

Also the thing with the number of overs showing incorrectly is also on the game type option (Bat First, Bowl First, Bat to A Target, Bowl to a Target bit).

Sorry if this comes across as having a go, its not meant to - really like the game, and just trying to help

Addictive, but... There are


Addictive, but... There are bugs eating this game

Bat first bowl first: When selecting this, it says the last option selected, but it will always make you bat first. Think this might be true with the overs as well.

Hitting the ball:

1. You can hit the ball more than once, just keep flicking your finger.
2. When you are bowling you can hit the ball, on the stumps if you like. (Others say you can also run for the other team, I don't even want to try this)

Some things that will keep me playing and having me telling my friends to buy this....

Stats.....I am a stats nut, so this may not be for everyone. Love to keep records over time. this would take no space, not sure what is possible with this iphone

Score cards....like to be able to see the full score cards at the end of the game.

Random Toss....you shouldn't get to pick what you do, you should pick after a toss.

Difficulty....I always win

Teams....be good to set team and then have a competition with a table.

Computer puts fielders on top of each other and all the plays run after the ball.

Correct bowling selection....when you select a bowler, you can't change before they start bowling, my big finger sometime hit the wrong button and then you are stuck.

Good Game....Could be Great.

When I click to play a game


When I click to play a game it keeps going back to phone screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this as I am quite addicted to this game

Hi Everyone - I'll go through


Hi Everyone - I'll go through your comments and issues for the next release now I am back on deck.

david1rkhd - are you using free or pro? Also, wre you trying to play a facebook game, or other? Could you try deleting and reinstalling the app and see if that helps?

How about some work on the


How about some work on the layout?
A crudely drawn pavilion would like good.

Absolutely not - he needs to get his sh*t together!
