started career mode in don bradman cricket few days back.. I have now started my 2nd year...I noticed that my batsman doesn't play as good as he played in the first year..Earlier, i could hit a 6 pretty comfortably, but now, hitting a 6 is hard..Whenever i attempt to hit a 6, forget long on/;long off.. the ball usually travels right onto the hands of mid on/ mid off..Suddenly, the playing style has changed aas well...Lots of nicks/edges to wicketkeeper.. My batting avg. is now 20.88

Is this part of the career mode( the game gets harder as the plaer progresses ) ???
