I only got the game yesterday, and am new to this and gaming in general. I wondered if you could help me out with what is I ma sure a basic question to you guys.
I am having trouble with batting controls. I have been practicing in nets, when bowler runs up, I understand you use S, W D for feet, then arrow controls for stroke. But I cannot get the hang of the timing in terms of buttons. DO you have to push say S and DOWN at the same time? Also I can play shots ie straight drive, cut etc (UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT) how do I get the shots inbetween i.e. what keys to I push to play a front foot (S) cover drive? Do I push DOWN and LEFT at same time to create the shot inbetween four arrows ? Basically to play a cover drive do I push S LEFT DOWN all at the same time, while bowler meter in "IDEAL" range ? I just cannot get how to play any of the shots that are not on the main four arrows. This might be something that you come across in other games, if arrow keys represent 4 points of compass (N,S,E,W) how do you use them for games that have 8 point (N,NE,E,SE,S etc)
tvm in advance for any help.
