Cricket 26 - Megathread

whenever i edit a team then share it , then after a restart all the changes that were made was reversed same happening to linked player…when i download them ..the downloaded player shows but after restart the player are gone…anyone else facing same issue?

Yeah I’ve had the same problem hopefully it’s sorted quickly

I have created the PAKISTAN LEGENDS team but when I go to share to the academy, my game crashes

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but there are many instances where the ball does not even touch the bat, yet it goes in the direction as if it was hit. I watched a replay of a four I hit and the ball was nowhere near the bat.

It’s especially obvious when you defend, the ball is not even on the same line as the bat, yet it gets defended perfectly.

It’s not a gamebreaker, but it does not look pretty.

Thank you

Ive submitted a ticket for this but the issue still remains - when selecting a line up for first class matches in management mode, Im still able to only select from a list of 16 players, not the whole squad. So theres players I can’t select who would normally play first class matches,like Aaron Hardie, and players in the line-up who don’t even play for WA anymore - eg: Jason Behrendorff.

Surely this would be a simple fix?

Offers in Player Career should include context about each club: current/last league position, squad situation, the role they want you to play, your first-season objectives, likelihood of match time, and a visual of the kit. Picking from a bare list gives me too much credit by assuming I have immersive/meaningful knowledge of domestic leagues, and makes what should be a meaningful decision feel flat and undifferentiated and completely interchangeable.

The offer screen should also show the club’s seasonal league calendar so players can see how it overlaps with existing contract commitments they want to preserve. This would improve immersion immensely.

This is happening to me also, whenever I try to upload a created team to the academy, the game crashes.

First time player and trying to understand sliders, ratings and logic…..If I meticulously went into the England players and change the throw accuracy rating to 1 for all the players and change the new global AI fielding slider to zero how are English fielders hitting the stumps all the time. I know this is a game but that is unrealistic….So I figured it had to do with ratings…But it seems ratings dont matter. I am confused…can someone shed light…Dont ratings matter in this game or outcomes predetermined

I don’t know why all rounder option is absent from player type list, there’s batting all rounder & bowling all rounder

Also there are many players like sobers, john reid, Andrew symonds who bowled both spin & seam, also players like sonny ramadhin & Livingstone who bowl leg spin & off spin, very few like kamindu mendis who are ambidextrous

The game should have two more bowling types in “dual type” & ambidextrous, which will allow players to chose primary bowling type & secondary bowling type so players can use them accordingly based on pitch & combinations

Don’t Know how Everyone is ignoring this but We Can’t see No. Of boundaries (4s and 6s )And Strike Rate From the Scorecard, The boundary Tally in Scorecard Is the most basic Thing In a Cricket game .

Recently I have Played BBL Enjoyed A Lot but Unable to Hit Sixes in it. Does Not Matter If You Achieve a Ideal *3 .

The Hardest difficulty is challanging and Enjoyable but Reducing the Shot power to nil and Restricting sixes (Impossible on English and Australian Ground) Don’t make Sense , Sixes Are Part of the game and you are Taking them out, It Should Be difficult To pull out and hit a Six on hardest but You Should make it Difficult By Its Timing And footwork Not By Reducing Shot power to nil , The Ideal *3 Should be Rewarding Enough to Help you Hit Out of the Boundary

The Unorthodox Shots Are Constantly Ignored , how A Mordern Game Lack on Unorthodox Shots,Like Fin Allen Was Scooping Ramps for Sixes in BBL but We can’t Do the same In the game,The Buttler Scoop/Ramp against Pacers , Slog sweeps , Switch Hits, Slog Toward Midwicket should Reward You With A Six if Connected Well because the bat Swing Generate Enough Power For it.they All were Quite Good in the first Month.before that Patch Ruined Them. EVERYONE else In the Community Is feeling the Same Way and Want this change.

So If You Really Want to make It Challenging And difficult Make it Harder to time the ball And Harder To Get the best Footwork (The Game has Woked Quite Well on this), But not by the Nerfing Shot power And Elevation and by removing Sixes And Unorthodox Shot from the game .

@Vickey THIS ALL here is the problem. The inability to understand the nuances of the game by Big Ant is just mind blowing.

What they’ve done, like you said, is just nerfed shot power and make some shots inexecutable through the difficulties. This is just stupid. ALL SHOTS should be able to be executed regardless of difficulty if all the variables are in place for it to happen lol.

Try hitting Nathan Lyon over the top or using your feet to hit a six over mid on WITH the spin as say Joe Root. Impossible lol. This is just stupid.

All that happens say on Hardest, is that you end up restricting yourself to a handful of better percentage shots to accumulate ones and twos because THE PITCH MARKER isn’t sufficiently shown on the pitch to decide line, length and shot execution and the logic behind the shot v the ball.

So you end up premeditating everything.

What about thin edges behind?!?!! LOL. I haven’t seen one yet, and I’ve been playing for weeks.

It’s all just stupid and I fear there is too much to change here to make this game playable.

I’ve raised 4 tickets on the shot power issue weeks ago and there seems to be no signs of any change at all

Totally agree, I played a game and actually tried as hard as I could to edge a ball with difficulties set to maximise edges, never edged anything just play and miss,I couldn’t get out.

I’d love it if playing a shot late by being beaten or lack of concentration was always an edge to keeper or slips.

@RossSymons the Tour and camp stats still don’t save after you are done… please

I Have been enjoying the game, absoltely love BA cricket games.

Since last patch the timing of shots and power of shots seems to be off. Reacting slow to play shots and some shots the ball trickles off the bat.

Im doing an england maangement career at the minute but had to stop playing until a patch is done.

Thanks To The Team for finally Fixing the Unorthodox Shots, Its Much Better Now, Good To See them back :heart:

Shot power after this last patch is way too powerful, needs to be nerfed down. Sliders right down and ball is racing to the boundary. Why why why.

How to destroy a game in one patch.

@JNT_BA @MattW When will there be legends in Pro Team?

Played BBL On Hard And Hardest Difficulty after This Patch and Felt So Good To See the The Ball started Travelling Again for Sixes on Bigger Grounds Of Australia on These Difficulties when timed Ideally , W Updrade in Unorthodox Shots , Good Mix Of Risk And Reward . Except The Over Elevated Cut Shot (Cut Shots should also go for Sixes but they all are Mostly flat in real Life ) Everything seemed To be Right on the Place With this Patch if You love Batting.

I know some people had concerns with the shot power before but it feels like it’s gone over the top now. I personally was happy with where I had the settings and for me finding the gaps felt rewarding with 1s and 2s a possibility. Is there a way I can rollback to the previous version or do I have to use this patch now it’s been applied?
