I used to play ICC quite a lot a few years ago, and I've just bought the new one today. It's good, the problem I've always had with ICC is continuing in this version: I can't win ODIs at all. To give you an idea of how serious the problem is, I'm currently getting gubbed by Zimbabwe (I'm England).
I've tried setting my own fields, but nothing seems to work. So the point of this topic is to ask if any of you have any advice for me... both bowling and batting, as I'm woeful at both. Bowling is probably my main issue however.
My usual ODI line-up is:
1. Benning
2. Tres
3. Pietersen
4. Bell
5. Collingwood
6. Flintoff
7. Prior
8. Swann
9.Broad
10. Sidebottom
11. Hoggard
I decided to take a punt on James Benning as I wanted a pinch hitter. He's doing ok, averaging 30 with 2 centurys and 3 50's. Pretty good for a pinch hitter really. Flintoff has been really expensive, and my batsman get out at crucial moments all the time. I tend to put most batsman on 4 bars of aggression when they first come in, and altering it accordingly. I've found that if I don't do this, they score painfully slow at the start their innings...
Bowling wise, I leave it on 3 bars of aggression at the start, and drop it from there as the situation dictates. I generally use all of my power plays at the start unless I'm getting shanked around the park.
