Cricket 24 - Megathread

I know it’s realistic, that’s why I was hoping for a setting option to adjust it if wanted. So if someone wished for the regular boundaries that’s by default but if the wanted it to be the same length at the mens or somewhere in between they can change it.

Hey lads what’s the update about the next patch

Hi, I am playing the game on PS4 with the arcade controls and when batting i will go for a forward defensive and the bat will go towards mid wicket in a glitch and I will be bowled. Is this something other people are experiencing. It is completely ruining the game for me. Could someone please tell me if it is just me or whether it is being fixed

I see the same issue. playing back foot defence works in such cases but yeah, its annoying

I think the games is evolving by itself seriously

Definitely experiencing the sam especially against spin. The off spinner will bowl outside off turning back in to the stumps and the batter will defend towards mid wicket. its super frustrating

Hi Guys

I haven’t posted in a while, I thought it best to give the game a gap with all the updates and patches and I have been playing it as is for a while. Firstly I would like to congratulate the team at big ant for awesome licensed players they look amazing so great job on that. As a player of the series of cricket games by big ant I would like to raise my opinion on a few improvements that will make the game better for me as a whole and more enjoyable. Im sure not everyone will agree but its just my opinion.

  1. Even though the licensed players look awesome, there still needs to be some level of customisation allowed for the accuracy of the real life versions of the players. Firstly my greatest issue with the licensed players are the basketball type shoes they have. It’s really deterring playing with Licensed players that look like they just walked out to bat in a village game with black and red shoes. If you won’t allow us to customise their shoes at least make them all white. Secondly if we can customise the bats surely we can customise pads and gloves, armguards as well. As an example Josh Inglis looks like he is batting with his mothers tiny garden gloves its really off-putting. Then there are minor things like Steve smith bats with an armguard which is not in the game, if I recall correctly neither does Travis Head. Thirdly, The licensed bats are awesome but surely you should have a choice of what colour grip you want on your bat just like in real life.

  2. I don’t know if this is still in the pipeline but some new batting styles would be a great addition to the game. I love playing test matches and especially in long innings it does become a bit boring with the same batting styles we have pretty much had since cricket 19. Just as an idea for future it would be pretty cool if you can design your own batting style. For instance I love the on drive of style 2 and the leg side play and initial stance of style 6 with the hook and pull of styles 1 - 5. The off drive of style 7 is very cool. So in essence what I mean is build your own batting style by combing some of the best attributes of whichever style you like for a specific shot so your player is completely batting as for the specific input that you chose in customisation. There are good and bad things about every style and I find myself switching between different styles all the time until I’ve had enough and then try a different style for a while. This leans towards me trying to target different areas depending on what batting style I’m using and what shot types I like in that style and this becomes a drag after a while. If you had your player playing all the shots that you like it would be awesome.

That’s pretty much what I can say from my side but all in all I love all the strides the game is making towards a realistic experience for all of us and some of the things might seem minor but it would be amazing to have these things to enhance the game to a more enjoyable experience than it already is.

Thanks for the forum and letting us raise our thoughts and opinions on your creations.

Anybody else interested in a better first person camera for batting? It was decent in DB14 but hasn’t been the same since.

Hi, an idea to fix the commentary in future games would be to use artificial intelligence integration. This way we always get fresh new commentary for every scenario in the game and the game will feel new every time! @RossSymons

Not sure if anyone posted about this before , but would be great if we are allowed to customize the facial hair and hairstyles on the licensed players. This way we can always keep them updated to their real life likenesses and changes in hairstyles.

Also an option in community creations should be added that allows us to only download KITS instead of downloading a whole team.

@RossSymons

Hey Big Ant Studios, I waana say that it has been disappointing that after almost 6 months of release of game, we haven’t got PSL updated, the kits are not made, Ross even said that they will come to Pakistan during PSL which they didnt, this isnt good that despite having thousands of players in Pakistan they are not taking steps and the photogrammetry is one of the issue, I request to atleast make Pakistan players which were part of PSL, this will bring us joy by playing with real players as of test squad which travelled to Australia. Another major thing is that we have four international stadiums in Pakistan

  1. Gaddafi Stadium Lahore
  2. National Stadium Katachi
  3. Multan Cricket Stadium
  4. Pindi Cricket Stadium
    But Pindi stadium is not liscensed
    Another problem is with the shirt numbers of Test squad they are incorrect for many players, as well as some players have incorrect bowling styles like Saim Ayub is mentioned as medium pacer but he is an off spinner, same is the case for Saud Shakeel. I hope you will take these points in notice and will try to make game as best as possible.
    Thanks

Impact Player/Substitution is a must need feature.

At least Pakistan has licensed stadiums in the game, New Zealand is yet to have even one stadium licensed in the game. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Some suggestions and issues with Competitions in Cricket 24

  1. The NRR Calculation for tournaments/Competitions is wrong. You need to rectify it as per laws of the game. Many things are wrong about it. e.g. A winning team can get negative NRR and the losing team gets positive NRR which is totally wrong. Hope so you figure out this issue and solve it in the future updates.
  2. There is no option of adding playoffs to custom competitions in Competition designer as of now for Cricket 24 when the biggest leagues of World Like IPL, BBL any many more franchise tournaments use Playoffs as knockouts. Hope you guys give extra option of adding Playoffs as well besides Semi Final in competition designer for Cricket 24. The Knockouts of Semi Finals are only used in Internationals. I have been raising this issue since Cricket 22. Hope so you add this in upcoming patches as playoffs are must in this great game
  3. Extra Data like Tournament Total Sixes and Fours should be added in Cricket 24 for competitions / tournaments. There should be a counting meter for counting tournament sixes and fours while each six and four gets hit in that particular tournament just like ICC Events and Franchise tournaments. That will add more excitement to the game. Further the fours and sixes hit by each player should also be displayed on the scorecard or should be given a separate scorecard four boundaries. The data can be copied from stats recorded. Hope you bring this thing in the Cricket 24.
  4. There should be an option in the ongoing series/Tournaments/Competitions to edit the team squads. The problem arises when some player gets injured and there’s no proper replacement in the squad. You cannot add players in the squad of on going series/Tournaments/Competitions.
    Hope so these things get added in future updates of Cricket 24 which will make this game more fun and exciting to play.

I have raised tickets for all these suggestions and issues as well @RossSymons @JNT_BA

@JNT_BA @RossSymons The Super Over Rules should be updated in Cricket 24
The Match is awarded to the team hitting most boundaries/losing less wickets if the Super Over gets tied in the game. The rules have changed. If Super Over gets tied then the Super Overs should be continued until there is a proper match result. This is missing in the game Cricket 24. The laws of Tied Super Over should be updated as per the updated rules of the Cricket.

Playing on PS4, the pitch marker is not showing up until after the bowler has bowled irrespective of what I put ball marker display time on? Any ideas to help?

Hi guys, can we increase the number of teams in the custom tournament to 35, the total number of international teams available in the game. Or at least 32 so that we can have a good knockout system? Thanks

Hi guys

I’d love to see the two missing IPL teams added of course but I’d also love to see the SA20 added if possible and maybe also one or two more international teams

If it is even paid dlc I’d be up for paying small amount to see more content added

I’d also like to see some more post game cutscenes of the players celebrating or looking dejected after a win or loss

Does anyone know if the switch version gets updates?
