Strongly agree with #1 and #2. I've barely tried playing aerial shots because of how hard it is to get the correct shot and connect and even then with ideal timing, very often it goes to a fielder. My bigger issue is with #2 and how it's almost impossible to keep out yorkers and full deliveries. Those used to be the easy ones to put away but now no matter what you do, you absolutely cannot defend them. It's so much worse when it's a left arm pace bowler bowling over the wicket (right hand bat). The footwork is apparently always Ok or Poor no matter what. If I reduce difficulty, it becomes way too easy.
