The funny thing is AI don’t take doubles where it should be going for it when ball goes to outfielder and when there are overthrows they stand like a statue and where they shouldn’t be running they take a run like you mentioned inside the circle. They are so cautious that even if they can complete a double easily they won’t risk it as soons as fielder picks the ball they return from half way down the pitch it looks so wierd . And this issue is there for now about 3-4 months.

Agrees, every week they just give some nonsense about the pro team and the game feels broken day by day.

Upper cut against seamers & pull shot against spinners need to be re-worked, when you try to play to ball above shoulder towards third man, sometimes plays dab instead of leaning back & playing upper cut even though the game has the shot & would play only as lofted shot & not ground shot

Pulling ball around your head from outside off against seamers looks very strange sometimes as batter tries to play swivel pull but that is not such a big issue bcoz it still gives realistic feel of batsman missing some short balls, but with spinners it just looks ridiculous at times, as batter plays it on one leg, other feet in the air & pulling it around knee high ball in weirdest possible way bcoz it plays after the ball has passed & inside keeper’s glove. This is similar sync issue to style 7 sweep shot, which was fixed in one of previous updates

Also would love to have surya’s slice shot over third man & point added in lofted shots

Many of us have stopped sharing our feedback in the Big Ant community because, despite requesting new bowling actions for two months, we haven’t received any response. In my opinion, the gameplay has improved significantly; now, they should introduce new bowling actions so we can enjoy bowling with different bowlers. We simply want to see new bowling actions added over time—hopefully without having to repeatedly message the community. Additionally, the initial batting stances (1 through 5) look too similar to one another; these should be redesigned, and new shots should be added to each batting style. Thank you. @MattW Sir plz…

I have been informed by a trusted source that they are currently working on 87 brand new bowling actions that will be released in a patch on the 31st of February next year at 17:28 GMT. Your weekly requests for new bowling actions have been successful. We thank you for your consistent “feedback” and support. Please don’t submit any more new bowling action requests until 2028 or you will be banned from this forum for 73 years. Thank you.

This was probably the main reason why I have stopped playing the standard career mode and started my own DIY career mode adding school, club, varsity, domestic 2nd division leagues etc.

In the standard career mode in my very first test series against India I also had two wicketkeepers opening the bowling so I just decided to do my own career mode. Now I can control who I play against without keepers opening the bowling and without the random generated players with the horrible names and surnames from the 1600’s.

I also have an idea for a new drinking game, anytime you read the term “new bowling actions” on this forum we all have to take a shot. 😂😂

True man there are so many things to improve rather than bowling actions. Let them fix the gameplay first what the use of having 100 bowling actions if basic gameplay issues are there. Carrer mode issues are there , Fielding is pathetic, AI running needs improvement, Clean bolds and lbws are missing in my score cards they are just filled with catch out dismissals. Let them focus on these issues first instead having 100 bowling actions in the game.

I don’t know if this can be implemented or not but why the AI never plays the helicopter shot for pacers, especially in full or Yorker balls, like exchange the switch hit to this as helicopter shot is meant for full deliveries. And also why no national Anthems in ODI’s and T20’s and pyrite hni and music in ODI’s as well

Finally someone came up with the idea that I have been asked so many times. I don’t know who are those guys saying gameplay is really smooth now , either they are playing on medium or they don’t play longer format.

But i always asked for no customization just proper gameplay which shows skill of taking wickets defending targets , should be balanced.

I don’t know what bowling actions they want , if we all ask same thing Probably we get what we want otherwise they work on what they can fix and proving as they are working on game.

You’re the type who only plays the game once in a blue moon—don’t spout nonsense again.

I’m very happy you edited that comment because I was about to, but it’s still bad, and I will still edit it. This is your last warning. If I ever see that type of comment you will be gone.

You guys might play on Medium or Hard, but I always play on the Hardest difficulty; I enjoy it that way. I prefer an authentic gameplay experience, and I’ve often bowled out the AI (on Legend difficulty) within the first two or three overs. The gameplay is good, but it has the potential to be excellent; however, the game needs several improvements. For instance, we can’t play ‘advance shots’ against spin bowlers, and we lack the ability to play most unorthodox shots—save for one or two that even the AI doesn’t use. There are other issues too, particularly with the batting styles; the shots for the first five styles, in particular, look too similar—there’s no distinct difference between them, so they should be recreated. New bowling actions are also essential; when a bowler uses their authentic action, it creates a genuine feel for the game. The more realism there is, the more enjoyable the experience becomes; this prevents the gameplay from feeling tedious and actually deepens one’s engagement with the game.
