New Sim?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Depending on how detailed you want it to be...

* ability to play spin
* ability to play pace

I don't think i saw any provision for Batting aggression/defensiveness. Unless Shot power and timing somehow come into that?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Maybe Mental Toughness could be added as well - i.e. players like Steve Waugh, Brian Lara, Glenn McGrath etc. would have high ratings for this.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Basically I want it to be as good as possible - I'm fed up of using the half-baked efforts of others - so keep firing them this way. I intend to make it solely the match engine now (ie there won't be scope for experience/form) so it *shouldn't* take too obscene an amount of time to complete.

I guess values for a players' willingness to go for shots and their proficiencies against spin and pace would be useful too, cheers David.

Mental Toughness will be interesting, I'm not entirely sure how I would code that into the game but there's no harm in creating data for it.

Within the next week I will write a data editor and I would like some people to create team data files with it (16 man squads) in batting order, thanks

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Mental Toughness, I suppose, would come into effect when a) playing against good teams, b) on the 4th and 5th day when a good effort is needed to win, c) playing against good players, d) when a batsman is at 140, 150 with nothing to motivate him. Just an idea...

Any updates?

Two years on, time to kick this.

I think that BC2006 is approaching the stage where it's fit to sim for a human vs human match. I think it's a match for HODI at present (a few minor wibbles here and there... but nowt major).

Obviously, a full-on changeover is not a sensible option right now... but what I'd like to suggest would be that we give it a shot for either a) grade cricket or b) a Twenty20 competition (the T20 mode is a far better reflection of reality than SR's ever was).

Any thoughts?

 

[Nate]

I reckon it`s worth a run in the 20/20 and Grade Cricket competitions. At least the 20/20.

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Top work Neil.

Certainly worth a trial in grade cricket at least.

I await the day when we can put HODI to bed for good.

[age_master]

yep i reakon a 20/20 comp and maybe grade cricket would be a good way to test out the sim and it would also help find any minor bugs that exist.

How difficult is it to add SuperSubs?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Ug. Probably not very. But possibly horrendously.

I'm more concerned about random hi-octane run chases right now (310? pfft, 37 overs, sorted...)

I'd be happy to try it out in grade cricket. It's a much better alternative than the one we used last season.

Its definately a great idea to try it out in grade cricket. I've been using it for the part day or two and its brilliant IMO. It still has a few bugs and inconsistancies, but they should be ironed out soon enough.

Could be be so kind as to detail what you think are the major issues?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Won't it be a bit difficult to convert various simming averages into seperate attributes?

Already taken care of.

Yes, it's random, and one team got 475-8 in a test sim yesterday, but I'm hoping a formula adjustment should do the trick.
