But I've had players like that before! Spinners with amazing abilities, its crazy. It's rare to see, however, a fast bowler with averages like that.

I think that strike/stock rating is a major issue in ability. PLayers like Kevin Innes and Paul hutchison have top bowling abilitiy as well, but their stock/strike rating isn't as good as likes of Shuan Pollocks or Glenn McGrath.

 

[Neil Pickup]

The number of trials I ran with the stock/strike rating up at maximum showed it had a major effect on the amount of wickets a player got - but as a counter they became more expensive.

Have a play with the hex code - it's the final offset of the player's attributes (after the bowling type, so FM stock: 04 00 and OS strike: 00 FF)

 

[Neil Pickup]

Having had a bit more of a look, I think the "stock" bowlers have much more discipline, so may have more success internationally?

 

[Tom Halsey]

What are you classifying as a 'good' strike/stock bowler's rating?

Further testing appears to result in the opposite - not sure why.

What are you classifying as a 'good' strike/stock bowler's rating?

A good stock rating is basically all the way, or almost all the way, to the stock side of the stock/strike rate slider.

 

[Cloete]

Well, Ricaldo Anderson is the only bowler that I've ever had take 100 wickets in a season in my team!

Just to clarify, "strike" bowlers will take more wickets at a higher economy rate than "stock" bowlers, with similar averages. No front line bowlers should have high strike ratings, these should be the preserve of part-time "partnership breakers".

I'd guess that Cloete's Ian Chivers has a very high strike rating!

Nah he had an economy of high 3's in OD and high 2's in 4D.....when i resume my Glamorgan game he'll still be going. He's only like 23. He's an absolute freak... btw marc how on earth could i get him by cheating? What could you do to cheat ......

 

[Neil Pickup]

There's gotta be another statistic affecting bowling abilities. There are too many second-rate bowlers with seemingly top bowling stats (one: Andrew Penn)

Erm, not sure why this is aimed at me, but I'm sure that's its very easy to restart several hundred times to ensure you get the right players between seasons.

But all that does is prove that players with better ratings are out there, even though the database suggests that there is no better than shaun pollock, who has top bowling rating, and top stock rating.

how do some people get these freak players with averages of, for example, 18 at test level, and 13 in FC cricket when theres no further to go in terms of ability.

Marc: Perhaps they cheat!"

That's why it was aimed at you...

 

[Eclipse]

There is deffinatly something wrong with the bowling atributes.

Some guys who should be great bowlers are not qute that good and then there are some guys with ordinary atributes who are quite good.

It looks to me like there is ether another stat influencing the bowlers skill or that we dont quite understand how the current one work.

Yep... works fine for me

LoL I wasn't offended....

whats the number after salary & years ?

whats the number after salary & years ?

I'm pretty positive its the players unique ID. Its needed so that each player has a unique number that the computer/game can identify them with

 

[imagine]

i noticed when playing with pakistan, shoaib malik bowling skill is max, he has average of bowling 21 in tests after 50+ matches, but he is a stock bowler. maybe this isnt a freak bowler ?
