Exactly, sure Grade is good for a while, but who wants to play it when it has no meaning. I dont see it changing, the captains have their perfect teams in mind, and they dont care who gets what in grade, and i think thats really sad for us grade players trying to advancevic_orthdox said:

Nah Rob. Im with ya there.
As for 'bobisback' sad to see you really arent liking the concept. And i do feel sorry for you, if your not playing dev league cricket. Maybe (im not sure but) if u are a spinner now u can loose some skill and turn to a seamer as there is alot of spinners around atm. Or just try and see what happens. You never no how many injuries might occur. Some good showing in off season club cricket increases ure skills and gives u more of a chance to play dev league so stick around.

The only way to do that would be to use the same sim for all games - but that then has the problem that a player has the same simming average and in theory the same form for both types of game, thus a ton in a dev match does the same for form as a ton in grade cricket...vic_orthdox said:

A ton in a dev match probably does the same as a ton in grade cricket, given that the average scores in grade matches are around 170.marc71178 said:

A lot of good points being made in this thread, particularly on behalf of those who are stuck playing grade cricket - we need to figure out some way for them to feel like their games have any kind of meaning at all. Is it at all possible to manually alter the form of a player?
I also really do think that we need to think about what we're going to do if we end up with a massive influx of spinners, as new recruits are never aware of exactly how many there are until they start looking into why they're never getting a game.

Does Grade performances improve your stats at the end of the season like Club Cricket?
To solve the problem with too many spinners then we could call in the some curtors from India to help produce some more turners.
But really people have to understand that playing Grade Cricket not that bad, its probably higher then some people will get in IRL. But there does need to be a direct impact of grade performances into the FC sim. Maybe form adjustments (if it can be done manually) or adjustments of stats quarter or half yearly for guys that perform well at grade level.

Hehehe, subtle, tharmi , but it would be better to have meaning in the grade cricket matches. But that would be another load on top of Hakon and Pingy's backs, so i guess they should have the final say.

Well, there is the point that grade cricket should have some meaning by itself - just like the dev league has less meaning than the internationals, or should have, anyway. Also, I think some of you are underestimating the effect good grade performances can have on the selectors. They do take at least a quick look.

Hmm i guess you guys haven't been looking too closely at the Jets game, i think im leading wicket taker in Grade Cricket or very close. Oh well hopefully a postive move is on the horizon for me.
