Stumped!

Yeah, really not convinced so far. I don't mind the idea of skill caps - it gives it something different and as long as you know that from the start, it's fine.

However, the Skill names/types - the fact you can hover to see the hierarchy in the squad screen but not in the match orders screen. The fact that when you hover in the squad screen, it always seems to obscure the column headers makes it very difficult to work out who your best players are.

I also don't mind the idea of batting/bowling being broken out into multiple skills - that makes things more interesting.

 

You have much more latitude to do something better with a new game tbh. Any time Ashario tries to change something, you can guarantee there'll be a group of self-interested managers to shout it down. That problem doesn't exist with a new game.

EDIT: I'm most disappointed he hasn't run with a fortnightly calendar to introduce a sensible First Class option. That really would represent a vast difference to Battrick/FTP. I'm not really seeing anything new here thus far.
