Cricket 26 - Megathread

That’s weird. Do you play on ps5 or pc? And you’re able to hit sixes on the leg side playing on front foot? What are your sliders

PC. Ive got custom sliders ive worked on a lot. Even since C19. When I get home I’ll post somewhere.

Alright. Thank you. I play on the ps5 but I do not know if it will work the same.

Ah ya! I would have guessed you are PS5. I was thinking the two version have some differences and different bugs. Interesting. You scared me off playing any leg side sixes in my final of a SA20 league I setup haha.

Here is the game and in the description I put a link to an unlisted vid of the settings I use.

You’ll have to look this up on youtube as I can’t put links in
”Paarl Royals vs Joburg Super Kings, Cricket 26, SA20 Final!”

Yeah it’s quite good right now

Last Update Feedback :

The boundary Fielding and Overall Fielding Has Been Degraded After recent Patch.it was looking Way better in previous Patch ,The Fielders Just Run Randomly toward the ball all the time. Wicketkeeping Against Spinner Is Terrible right now, Catch drop Or Superhuman Efforts All the time.

Shot Force for Lofted Shots Has been improved and Thats a positive But for The Normal grounded Shots Its Way too much it so it Can be Tweaked.

Pull Shots and Unorthodox Shots Are Now Rewarding to Play And Has A Fun and Better Risk Reward Management Mistime And You will get Clean bowled or going to get Caught on fine Leg , These Are the Biggest Positive Of The Patch ,Enjoyed them the most :+1:

but Cut Shots Are Way more Elevated , they Should be more Flat and they Will be all ok .

New Patch just landed. Supposedly rebalanced shots. If not, they added shot sliders!

AI Team selection is still the most broke feature in the game - so sick of seeing Kohli and Pant open the bowling every time you play India in management mode - let us pick the teams!!!

What’s the point of all these gameplay tweaks when the AI doesn’t pick bowlers in manager mode and when they do, they bowl the batsmen instead?!?

Why is weather completely off in matches, when you start matches in India on some grounds at evening there’s bright sunlight at 7:30, which is so unrealistic

Seems to be bang on my management save with the current patch. Middle it, the ball comes off the bat nicely. mis-time it or toe/top of bat it comes off the bat dead. edges seem nice.

Spin was abit OP now it is more of a graft. Turning wicket but batters not jsut giving their wickets away.

Even fielding when the ball is barely off the wicket. fielders have been quick to get in to the ball and collect it.

Only thing i have to say is the overthrows when you aim it slightly off the sweet spot for a throw at the stumps. seem to be more overthrows. Not the biggest issue as ill just take less shy’s at the stumps and just throw it straight into the gloves/hands for now.

Great patch overall for me personally.

AI Fielding has deteriorated again, AI keeper doesn’t even go for simplest stumping chances, throws are slow as well and AI fielders on boundary runs forward for no reason, missing easy catches which would be down the throat of the fielder

Backfoot shots are still overpowered than frontfoot shots and manual fielding needs to be improved. There is a delay before throwing to keeper or bowler

The sliders for each shot is brilliant now I can tune to my hearts delight….I can now hook fast bowlers for 6 in my broad rim hat ala Richie Richardson…

Fielding is still broken as fielders get stuck in place at times and sometimes when balls are played back to me I cant move and AI runs 2.

Having sliders for each type of delivery would be a nice addition.

In addition the ability to pick squads in career mode would be great. Also being able to edit player types so I can change Marnus to batsman from batting all-rounder.

This is by far a better cricket game than 24. The one frustration i am finding is i like to replicate real international matches in the Play Now Tab. I am finding some International teams you cannot remove or add players. Not too bad at moment but in a few months there will be new players which can not be added. I have submitted a ticket and its been forwarded to be looked at. Never neverf get feedback you just hope with bew patches it will be fixed. Does anyone else have this problem

You should be able to add licensed players to teams apart from new Zealand, west indies and Ireland. You can’t remove players from licensed teams though

it was in the January 14 patch when they loosened the restrictions. Can see the patch notes in the forum.

I am struggling to add or remove players from Afghanistan Sri Lanka, South Africa and West Indies.

Should be able to do it, apart from West Indies. Added Wellalage to Sri Lanka the other day.
Normally add by going to player and add/remove team.

I have tried removing players first. Afghanistan for example. Squad of 33. tried removing Rashid khan for example. It drops down to 32 but as soon as you try to add it goes back to 33 with khan. And will not let you add. Same if you add players

Ok I just tested with Rashid khan and Afghanistan. Removed him from squad . Turned off game. Tuned on. He’s still removed. Put him back in. Turned off game. Turned back on. He’s still in squad.

Best thing you can do is raise a ticket.
