Still not fixed, any ideas @MattW ?
I did raise a ticket after the psl faces patch was released..
Can devs explain why commentary names still has same old list it misses many names, for ex. there’s mcgrath, slater & Bevan in the voice but no waugh, ponting, hussey, hayden, langer & warne, there’s garner but not holding, there’s ntini but not donald or pollock, no Kallis or Kirsten many legendary player names are just not there in the list, singh and khan are very common surnames which is why first names or nicknames are needed but many first names are not there
and why guptill & wagner keep getting reverted back to random names every time despite renaming them, both are retired for more than two years now

@mattW Ai batting has drastically changed after the update, its good but drastic, will be very helpful if you can officially give information on different archetype behaviour in t20
Need more doubles rather than entirely depending on fours and sixes. Running needs tweaking AI batters still run slow and where double can be there they just settle for singles. Be it any format please get basics right. Literally 0 doubles in the entire T20 match. Atleast archetypes like strike rotators, finnesse,anchor can focus on doubles more if power hitters,all out aggressors are hitting sixes. Please focus on running between the wickets now this has been a issue for quite a time now. Tap and run has been removed it’s understandable that run outs were getting more frequent but atleast not completly remove doubles. It just kills the immersion when basics are not right.

@MattW I absolutely agree, even after the update, AI running is the same, they only take singles with slow comfortable running, though all other things are fixed, please update this aswell and release official note on different archetype in game behaviours

I don’t know how AI bowling is improved coz it’s still bowling 2 over head wides every over, 20-25 wides every ODI game
AI bowling lines are still very repetitive. AI mostly bowls off stump line which becomes dull after playing few overs. Why not target middle stump line and 4th stump line and make it challenging. So much of work needs to be done regarding bowling lines. I don’t think this had been worked upon in this patch. Maybe in future patches they can improve bowling lines so that’s it feels challenging. In the test most of time you can easily keep leaving off stump lines. Challenge will be there if most of the balls are targeting stumps.
Also AI tend to bowl unnecessary bouncers with the new ball.
As mentioned in patch notes improved bowling length, i feel bouncers in the first few overs are a part of providing variety to t20 bowling and that too depends on archetype of the bowler, bowler has powerplay or newball archetype then he ll bowl less bouncers and more full wicket taking deliveries thats why i asked them to release a detailed note on archetypes and their associated behaviours
Simulated games in competition mode has this weird logic where the AI has to bowl one over from batter for no reason, while main bowlers don’t bowl than 5-6 or at times 2-3 overs but batting all rounders will bowl 10 overs, you understand if Kallis bowls 7-8 overs occasionally but every simulated game symonds, maxwell bowl more than mcgrath, warne, Matthews bowls more than Muralitharan, viv richards bowls more than andy roberts, chris cairns bowls more than bond, on top of this batters like gibbs, morgan, trescothick, clive lloyd are bowling overs when main bowlers just bowl 4-5, it makes absolutely no sense, AI is so hellbent on bowling part timers that it refuses to bowl strike bowlers
I have raised many tickets for few patches on this but they just refuse to look at this issue, this game doesn’t even have the injuries where player gets injured & AI replaces the player with other player in the squad to give the logic of filling up overs

@MattW Just a general question what does Bowl quality slider actually do? Even if i increase it i don’t find much change in AI’s bowling line and length. AI still leaks so many runs by bowling same off stump lines and also so many extras.
For a lay man increasing bowl quality means AI will bowl tight line and lengths and will vary it and not make it easy to score runs. But there is hardly any difference even I keep it at 70-80 .
Please clarify this
Try increasing ratings of players, the bowling does improve, not allowing to score as freely, but the wides are still annoying
Yes dude AI bowling changes are just wierd no matter what the pitch type is AI brings spinner in the 3rd over even if that spinner is not meant to bowl in powerplay. And also AI relies heavily on part timers and finishes quota of main bowlers early on. Most of the times part timers are bowling death overs. I have already ticket for this issue but still nothing has been done. Hopefully future updates we can see improvement in AI bowling changes.

I made my test debut for SA vs India over the weekend in my current career. Both line-ups had 3 wicket keepers selected. India opened the bowling with at least 1 wicket keeper in every test match. In the 5th test they opened the bowling with two wicket keepers.
My player is a Batting All-Rounder and Leg Spin bowler. I ended up bowling 20+ overs in every innings, and way more than any of the front line bowlers. Then it would have me bowl spin within the first 10 overs of an innings on day 1. Sometimes as early as the 5th over on day 1 of a test match. And also have me bowl spin when taking the new ball. So frustrating.
Just loving the game and what a great 2nd ashes test I am having. Aussies are fighting back to level the series. D/N test Brisbane. England (me ) 187 all out. Aussies are now 265/6 on 2nd day 1st session. Just when Labushagne was playing all kind of shots both front and back foot including sweep shots and look set to score big. ( Also a.i. was taking cheeky singles and doubles. Also taken 3 runs.) Root clean bowled him of the last ball of the 1st session. He was stunned and me too. I am just loving it. Great patch . One gripe the catching mini game when there is catch behind the L is not moving and missed 2 to 3 catches like this. Please would request to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you and again a great testing has been done on the patch. Bravo
Please add Mohammad amir’s action in game 
This I don’t get. It even happens when you download a player with a user created likeness too. Not even a licensed likeness and it still changes their names???

AI Legend
Wicket Chance for both 55
Run Rate 59
Timing 50
I guess I gotta bring run rate back to 50 and bring striker timing down or increase wicket chance, at least I got 4 wickets in the other blood bath.
Yes bro keep run rate at 50. AI is quite aggressive now. Striker timing and rate at 50 is giving me balance matches.
Sliders are fine when AI bats first, but goes onto smashing like anything specially in the powerplay like 80 runs in 4 overs every game irrespective of the target, and while batting first and chasing a dismissal over covers is fixed and usually as well ai batting collapses every match i mean 4-5 wickets before or by 10 overs in every t20 match
Use default sliders everything is fine. We don’t need AI to be messed up again. After a long time AI is chasing well. Just keep run rate at 50 and play you will get balance approach from AI.
