Batting Marker or Ball pitch marker

[jaffarhussain21]

Hi All,

Please let me know how to enable bowling marker for this game .

Note I am playing in PRO difficulty level.

The RED,GREEN,YELLOW indicators is not helping at all .

Its very difficult to balance 3-4 buttons at once in right time with in less than 1 sec.

Now i am feeling its more of guess game than the real cricket.

I have to guess and play my shots ,if right guess made than runs else only wickets.

Please some one help.

Ashes and EA games had markers where the balls will land IN, by the time balls lands in there we could judge and play shots according to ball.

Now by the time i make decision after ball pitch it is getting too late,i am getting bowled or LBW .

There are no ball pitch markers by design. I'm not sure how you can argue that their existence would make the game more 'like real cricket'. Just practice and you'll get the hang of it. It's a much better solution than previous methods that made bowling rather pointless as the pitch of the ball was marked out for the batsman.
Try experimenting with different batting cameras (inlcuding pro camera) to find one that works best for you.

The ball pitch marker ruined older cricket games. You have plenty of control over where the ball will go. You just can't make the ball hit the same point over and over again unrealistically. It's like real cricket, your line and length will naturally vary a bit, even when you bowl well. Like you, I was very skeptical at first but after a few hours I realised how revolutionary/better the new system is.

Batting on a mechanical level is the same as in older cricket games but the new bowling mechanic does drastically change how you bat. Like real cricket you have to use your reflexes. I recommend switching to the close batsmen camera, makes reading the ball much easier IMHO.

Agreed with those in favour of no pitch marker. In older games, I'd have already decided what I was going to do with the ball before the bowler even released it - even the fastest of bowlers wasn't a threat as long as I didn't do anything stupid.

Now, I have to actually watch the ball, see where it's going and use my reactions.

When bowling, it takes a little getting used to, but it's definitely a lot better, and allows you to make fine adjustments to your bowling, as well as incorporating natural variation - plus the chance that you might occasionally get one wrong and wang it down the leg side for 4 wides (or is that just my bowling?)!

try to play different camera angles it may help you

how about this? show the pich marker only while batting and just as the bowler gets to the bowling stride rather than from the start of the run up.

Sorry will ruin the game. I could use it myself, but not at the cost of turning the game into a second rate game.

I some where personally agreed with jaffarhussain21 by not giving the option of ball marker, as we are aware that we had lots of bowling options like fast seam, normal seam, inswing, out swing, cutter, slower ball, etc etc, spinners too... Then why not ball marker option..??
We cant just play few selected safe shots...Atleast ball marker option should be there for offline mode Enable/Disable...
With the help of ball marker option game will be balance for both bowling and batting...

[Dr. Dee]

I don't see why having bowling options makes the case for having a ball marker. Also the game design sort of precludes the use fo a ball marker as the pitch of the ball isn't determined until the point of delivery anyway. Overall I think it would be a retrograde step to try to include one. That said, I know that Big Ant do read every post and if they see that people would like a better way of managing reaction time for batting, they will come up with something...I doubt that it will be anything as artificial as a bowling marker though.

I'll go further and say that the use of ball (Pitch) marker has ruined many other cricket games. It has made the game too easy as the batsman know just where the shot will land and can set up for the big shot well beforehand.. So "NO" to a ball (Pitch) maker!

I realised after playing this game that if there is no ball pith marker, then this game should have been realise for "move controller" instead of remote controller...
