Cricket 24 - Megathread

Cricket 24 Pro Team confirmed

I think we should have auction mode for the indian T20 teams , where Teams having 120cr in their purse and buy their favourite players for the team with own startgy for playing which gives another dimension to the game As fans most of them would love it if it happens. That’s one of the reason mobile cricket game for Hugh fans because of the auction mode if not in c24 atleast can we expect in c26

Gameplay is great at the moment, meanwhile adding hindi commentary would be a great as you can have any two prominent commentators recorded as mobile cricket games have done. Licensing of Indian commentators should also not be a concern as they dont come directly under BCCI

Tournaments and tours in which the user is controlling a team or a player can have practice sessions in the calender with practice kits in batting and bowling in nets and some practice cutscenes with fixed interesting fielding drills with active fitness and injury levels of players. All of this will improve the game exposure and for reference fifa titles can be looked at to give a immersive realistic interesting experience even before matchday

As Majority audience and players of the game are from India i request Big Ant to Observe more and more and improve The indian t20 league(IPL) and make it as realistic as possible such as improved cutscenes travel animation arriving at the stadium such as ea sports football titles along with algorithms which do not allow more than 4 overseas players in the game, adding a strategic timeout cutscene invloving the same scene as drinks break

DRS LBW System in Cricket 24

Dear big ents,

I’m writing to report an issue with the DRS LBW feature in Cricket 24. When I review an LBW decision, the game only shows the “big eye” (ball tracking), and that’s it. There’s no proper sequence like in real cricket—no on-field umpire signals, no third umpire animations, and no detailed breakdown of impact, pitching, and hitting the stumps.

Also, only the commentators speak during the review. The umpires don’t say anything, which makes the whole experience feel incomplete and unrealistic.

The DRS is a big part of modern cricket, and it should reflect the full process, just like in real matches. I hope you can improve this in the next update.

Thanks,

Here’s some improvements I would like to see to get a realistic experience.

Graphics and Frame Rate Enhancements

Please improve the graphics and frame rates for a smoother, more realistic experience. The gaming industry has come a long way, and consistent 120Hz support should be feasible on current-gen consoles and PCs.

Edge Behavior Repetition

One of the most frustrating bugs is how a batter continues to edge the ball repeatedly in the exact same way—ball after ball—until he gets out. The same goes for LBW decisions: if the AI batter survives a close LBW or dropped catch, it keeps playing that same shot repeatedly until it’s eventually given out. This ruins immersion and predictability must be addressed.

Smarter AI Batting

AI batters need to be more aggressive and diverse, especially in pressure situations like super overs or high required run rates. Currently, they often block or leave balls even when 15+ runs per over are needed. The AI should play unorthodox shots (helicopters, dilscoops, slog sweeps) and make better decisions based on match context. Players would leave the ball in Super Overs, which is highly unrealistic.

Realistic Keeper Mechanics

The wicketkeeper frequently dives unnecessarily and takes too long to recover—allowing free runs. Edges are dropped far too often, especially against fast bowlers, making the keeper seem unreliable and robotic.

Fielding Quality & Urgency

Fielders still display delayed and robotic reactions. They hesitate to pick up balls in the circle, don’t throw quickly, and often miss easy chances—even standing still while the ball rolls beside them. Dives look cartoonish, and the entire fielding dynamic lacks the intensity needed for modern cricket realism.

Custom Groups & Playoff Formats

Please allow players to create custom groups in tournaments and choose playoff formats—like IPL-style eliminators or 1v4 and 2v3 semi-finals, based on our own choice. This would make custom leagues much more engaging.

Drafts & Auctions Outside Career Mode

The option to hold drafts or auctions in custom tournaments (especially for IPL or PSL-style setups) would bring a new layer of realism and excitement. Not everyone wants to be locked into Career Mode to enjoy these features.

Enhanced Tournament Stats

Add detailed tournament statistics such as:

  • Ducks per player
  • Highest partnerships per wicket
  • Team-wise partnership records
  • Top three highest and lowest team scores
    (These were a beloved feature in EA Cricket 07 and would be appreciated greatly.)
  • Once the qualifying rounds start, the stats of all teams who haven’t qualified disappear. Please fix this.

Improved Animations & Crowd Reactions

Cricket 19 had lively players and reactive environments—players shouted at each other, celebrated with passion, and the crowd felt alive. In contrast, Cricket 24 lacked this energy. Please bring back emotion-driven reactions, stare-downs, send-offs, animated celebrations, and vibrant crowd moments.

Playoff & Finals Vibes

Add fireworks, music, stadium lights, and atmospheric tension to finals and playoff matches. Allow users to add music from the academy during matches to make big games feel special.

Dynamic Weather & DLS

Cricket 19’s rain and overs reduction via the DLS system added unpredictability and excitement. Please bring this feature back with polish and flair in Cricket 24.

Star Player Mode Enhancements

Play as Star Player in Tours

Introduce the ability to play as a single “Star Player” during custom tours—not just Career Mode. It’s more fun and immersive for those who enjoy roleplaying or focusing on individual performances.

Partner AI While Batting

When playing as a Star Player, your batting partner barely scores. Add an option to adjust how aggressively the AI partner bats, so you’re not left stranded at one end while they block endlessly.

Stamina & Injuries Outside Career

Introducing injuries in tournaments would be a fun and strategic element. For example, a player with low stamina who continues to play might get injured and miss the next match (just like Career Mode). This would add depth without needing a full career setup in custom tournaments.

Match-Wear and Tear

Jerseys should become visibly dirty by the end of the match—from dives, collisions, or extended gameplay—to reflect the physicality of the sport and increase realism.

Replay & Highlight Issues

Fix replay camera angles and inconsistencies—especially on sixes or dismissals where the camera zooms out or shows incorrect distances.

Commentary

Please add real-time commentary like Fifa or at least fix it. I just start the tournament and have played 2-3 matches only with 12 matches remaining and the commentary says, “this tournament is nearing to an end”. There are other glitches too, like praising batsman when the RR is too high to achieve.

I hope they seriously consider these suggestions as I have been mentioning them since 2020 and not even a single thing was implemented properly.

Getting error code NP404B64-1

What I want the most for Cricket 26 is for AI generated teams in Drafts (like the Hundred) and IPL auction (only in the career mode) to have some realism.

I am a long time fan of career mode, while I can look past most issues, I hate to see completely nonsensical batting orders and bowling orders in these teams. I see Ben Stokes coming in to bat at number 8 in Hundred Drafts and more of the like.

I have stopped playing 3-4 careers because of these frustrating reasons. The impact player is also poorly done. In one career I am listed as the Star Player, (role Allrounder) and it shows me as an impact player who comes to bowl in the death (an off spinner).

Possible solution:

  1. Give player roles (possibility like Playstyle and Playstyle+ in FC games): It makes sense if a team sends Narine to open in T20, but not Tim David. Similarly spinner asking to bowl in the death seems stupid, except maybe Rashid Khan. Give them Playstyles like Powerplay Basher (for openers/ pinch hitters), Miser (death bowler), Powerplay Specialist for some spinners etc.
  2. Inculcate a Dynamic Decision Making dynamic for AI in batting order and bowling spells. If a team needs 60 in 5, maybe they would promote the Hitter over the middle order player.
  3. Similarly for bowling spells, bowlers are chosen to bowl as per conditions and situation. In my career as a spinner I’m mostly asked to bowl the 18th over in T20 as my first over. Fix these things!

This stuff has frustrated me to such an extent that I can’t enjoy my Career Mode. Career Mode is my favourite game mode, I’ve been playing it in every game since DBC14. Please fix it and stop it getting stale. The earlier suggestions have great inputs on career mode, and I’m sure you guys do too. But this change that I’m asking for is sort of a non-negotiable for me.

I am sick and tired of these frustrating AI batting orders, team set ups and bowling decisions. Things need to change.

PRO Team coming out at 1pm today!!!
