• Use the teams interface to set the active team that you will bat with when starting a match • Use the teams interface to set a team into training mode if you'd like to disable stat tracking (e.g. when demoing to your friends) Autosave Matches Matches will now automatically save at the end of each over so you can resume that long test innings when you have time. One autosave is stored for each match type and difficulty. When you start a new game and an autosave is found you will be given the option of resuming the saved game or starting a new one. Certificate Challenges A large array of challenges are now able to be completed. Each challenge will unlock a custom certificate which will be displayed in your shed. Check the Steam Achievements descriptions for how to earn each certificate. Physics Improvements There are a number of improvements to physics in this update. In particular the ball is bouncing more realistically now. Fielding Improvements • Improved the fielder AI • Fixed a bug where fielders would not orientate correctly • Run scoring will now take into account the fielder throwing the ball to the closest set of stumps • Reworked the catching so that fielders are more likely to drop difficult chances • Lots of new field sets Misc Fixes & Improvements • The tracker bat should be correctly oriented now • Replays can now be triggered after the last ball of the innings • The wickets are now part of the replay recording so you can watch the bails flying • Any time you are presented with a 'Go' ball that you need to hit to continue, you can alternatively just press the trigger button to continue • The menu button can now be used to bring up the scorecard at any time • Scorecard has been updated to highlight the striker and non-striker • Fixed a bug where you would be unable to pick up a bat after returning to the shed
