Cricket Captain 2020 Bug Reports

[adil]

Chris Child Also try to increase the amount of singles while batting as there are a lot of boundaries and rarely any rotation of strike

[Sureshot]

This occasionally happened on 2019 online too. People playing as Surrey playing 5 overseas players.

We're having a chat on this.

I’m going to look into the 2nd innings batting AI in OD matches in depth over the next week or so. I have some ideas of how we could use the DLS par to guide the RR in the easily chase overs.

That's a brucey bonus from having the DLS par, sounds promising.

assume this is a bug - no message but I’d guess it’s an offer to swap to manchester

Thanks, I've passed this on to Andy.

What year was this in? (As I've got your save in 2021)

[Chris Child]

I'm getting some random crashes too

We fixed a crash bug to do with 2nd innings washed out OD matches in the last update.

I'm going to have a chat with Chris about this later today.

Hey in The Hundred only 3 overseas players are allowed in the playing XI but somehow a dude playing cardif was able to play 4 overseas(bumrah starc smith qais ahmed) in an online game

Playing as Ind in Normal mode and I have played couple of series - Ind vs Aus (4 tests) and Ind vs Eng (5 tests).
Too many huge totals are being chased in 4th Innings of Test matches.

Three times the totals have been chased by my team and twice have been done by the opposition.

1. Ind chased 319
2. Ind chased 461
3. Eng chased 344
4. Ind chased 399
5 Eng chased 434

I think this is high because it has happened 5 times out of the 9 tests.

On 2019 India chased 550+ against me in 4 sessions on a minefield. They won by at least 6 wickets, maybe 7. Happened on 2019 very regularly against India or South Africa, who always have the best batsmen.

I’m not sure the game is limiting how many you play as I just played 5 on my save

Hey, any chances of od results being improved this year?

This needs to be looked and corrected IMO, it's too unreal

[Shrav99]

I observed an entire World cup and in 16 AI simulated matches the team batting second were allout between 14-38 overs. The same is true for other ODI competitions. The same issue from previous iteration is still there, teams batting second always play ultra aggressively and get allout quickly in losing contests. I would expect at best 6-7 matches in whole tournament where team batting second would get allout under 40 overs, not 16 out of 48 matches.

Thanks for checking up on all this stuff. Are the 100 squads going to be reduced in size? 24 for their squads seem excessive. If you look here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50109006

The actual squads are only 16 players. This would be a lot more manageable for a county side.

We're investigating the 100 and it's impact on county teams.
