Your XI Stays Picked

Your Cricket Manager XI no longer reverts to the selectors' side, press conferences answer the question you were asked, associate nations stop growing into giants in the T20 World Cup, and scorecards stop listing a batter who never walked out as not out.

Detailed Patch Notes

4 items
FIXED

Cricket Manager: press-conference questions and answers now match in subject. Questions about team starts, the toss, the pitch, fielding, rest and tactics get answers about that topic instead of lines about one player or stock replies, and the same answers come round far less often from match to match.

FIXED

Cricket Manager: when one of your picks is injured, retired or out of the squad, only he is replaced, by the selectors' best spare in the same role. Before, one missing name threw out your whole XI and the selectors' side took the field, which showed most after a change of job. The XI screen also stops offering players who cannot play that day.

FIXED

T20 World Cup: associate nations such as Germany, Uganda, Malaysia and the UAE no longer grow stronger every cycle until they rival the Test sides. Their young players and their development are now capped by where the nation started, so a long career keeps the gap between India and Germany roughly where it is today.

FIXED

Scorecards: a batter listed in the order who never came in, because a nightwatchman or a promoted batter went ahead of him, now shows under Did not bat instead of as 0 not out. An innings three down no longer shows three not-out batters.
