Always hit 4 or 6: Press R2, Circle, L2, R1,
Select at the EA sports menu.
Hint: Easy scoring: Select "Team Management" and from there,
"Copy Base". Next, select a team and a player from there.
After doing so. the player can be seen in "Create A Player"
mode. Then increase all his batting and bowling abilities to 100,
and then go to "Add To Data Base" mode and replace the
player you selected with the original player. Repeat the same
process with all other players on the same team to create a team
which will be virtually invincible. By doing so, you will be able
to hit 6s and 4s easily, and thus score a lot of runs and take
a lot of wickets. PL.
When bowling with a fast or medium fast bowler, do not use the
"movement marker" to make the ball seam off the pitch.
Instead, leave it where it is in the center of the ball. This
will cause the ball to swing to the off side of the right handed
batsman, although the amount of swing will depend on the conditions.
Even in poor bowling conditions, the ball will swing enough to
cause the batsmen problems, and you will get wickets fairly regularly
if you keep the ball in the correct areas (about two thirds of
the way down the pitch, and heading towards around about off stump).
When playing in a World Series or any game with fast bowlers,
put in your tail batsmen and try to cover drive all the balls
down offside. It should be edged through the gaps for a four to
two runs. This is very helpful if you are in a bit of trouble
and need quick runs.
Hint: Take wickets easily: On a normal, green, damp, or wet pitch, get a fast,
medium fast, or medium pace bowler. Pitch the ball outside the
batsman's off stump very short and use the slow ball. Stop the
pace meter before it even appears. Put the ball angling in to
the batsman. This works very well for a right hander. For a left
hander, pitch the ball in line with leg stump. Pitch the ball
back at them so it straightens, again with a slower ball and before
the pace meter appears. However, make sure it is as short as possible.
You may need to have a short stop -- if the batsman misses it,
you will have runs scored because the wicket keeper cannot take
the ball.
Use a medium pacer and pitch the ball short to the maximum so
that it angles towards the stumps. Cut the pace totally by rapidly
tapping X. You should get him out bowled or lbw. This trick
works well under the easy difficulty, but is somewhat unstable
under the medium and the hard settings -- be accurate. sriram ramaswamy.
Hint: Easy run outs: Use the "Take wickets easily" trick. Keep
a shortstop (one who is directly behind the keeper). Angle the
ball just outside the off-stump. The batsman will miss, and so
will the keeper. The batsman will go for a run and the shortstop
will get the ball and throw it to the keeper, resulting in a run-out.
This works on all modes. Be patient, as the batsmen will not run
sometimes. sriram ramaswamy.
