Expanded Notes:
Added Career World Championships Qualification
A qualification tournament has been added to world championships in career, the top ranked international teams will qualify automatically.
Added Career Post Match Press Conferences
Once at higher levels of cricket, press conferences will occur when winning the Player of the Match as well as for the captain of each team.
Improved career training sessions
The training sessions in career have been refined to add objectives to the nets training.
Added Sliders to shift Timing Windows
Added option to the difficulty sliders to move the entire batting timing window. Spin timing window is only able to be brought forward, while the pace timing window can go slightly back or forward. This is useful for the players who feel they have to play the ball too late.
Added Option for wearing Caps against Spin Bowlers
A per player toggle for their default is in the Academy, while opening the batting quick tactics menu (press up on the D-Pad pre delivery) can allow you to override this in match.
Player Data and Visual updates
Implemented updated squads for the Big Bash, and continued work on improving the player appearances across a variety of teams and leagues.
Improved batting animations
Several batting animations have been adjusted to improve the batting experience.
Improved Fielding
Balanced runouts, reduced cases of fielders sliding to pick up the ball, improved slips fielding and other general adjustments to fielding.
Improved Running Between Wickets
Occasionally the batters would end up out of their crease without user input if attempting an evade of the ball, resulting in runouts, has been addressed.
Performance improvements
A number of changes were made to optimise frame rate, however these could not make the old generation consoles reach a stable frame rate, as such PS4 and Xbox One have been set to a 30 FPS frame rate cap to avoid tearing.
Stability improvements
Improved stability in career mode, online play and otherwise identified and resolved a number of reported crashes.
