Cricket 26 - Megathread

Ah good. At least we are playing the same game again :slight_smile:

They are so close at making this the best cricket game.

some big things still missing of course. But I still get lots of enjoyment .

Does slow down catching work in slips…..seems the game is auto catching for me in slip

Would it be possible to look at how the long sleeve batting shirts blend with the batting gloves. Seems to be half the glove gets cut off no matter which gloves you select.

The game is nice but it definitely has a lot needed to improve on.

Why is it impossible to play straight drives ? In previous games this wasn’t an issue but playing a straight drive in this game is almost like a death wish. It’s also part of the reason why spin bowling feels crazy hard to play, especially against off spinners (turning into you). The only way you can pretty much survive them is by standing outside off stump and on driving them or flicking them

Please patch the flick shot in online mode atleast. This issue springs up in every single release of the game, but it’s at its worse in online mode when people stand their batsman 3 stumps outside off and then flick everything for six.

^ to add to this problem, the off side wide line doesn’t move with the batsman so there is literally nothing one can do to counter this

Hi Team
I want to know if we can edit the batting styles of licensed players in Cricket 26 or delete them from the roster. Please tell me if this is possible or if it will be added in future updates. Thank you

Opposition got bowled out for 0 on Day 2 of a Test in career mode in 10 balls. Kemar Roach with 6 in 6 balls straight after making 135* with the bat at 11. Something wrong there :smiley:

Every aggressive shot goes for six now, even without ideal timing. Please make the ball goes for six only with ideal timing and ideal placement. Other timed shots should be four or out. I don’t want decrease the shot power in difficulty myself.

If i decrease the shot power then it is difficult to hit sixes in the bigger grounds. I don’t want to change different difficulties for different grounds.

Even after the update, the Gray Nicolls helmet is still not assigned to the licensed players, and the helmet still looks quite different to the one in real life

something is fundamentally off with the fielding….player edges to first slip and runs two after fielder is frozen. Slow down feature for catching is broken.

Keepers still dropping easy catches standing up. Too many run outs and caught and bowls.

Need more edges especially in Australia….not edges that fly for 6. These things that help with immersion.

When will those proficiency points be fixed, I don’t even get why was it added in the first place, before players could easily increase or decrease but now with just 10 batting points for proper batters & 20 bowling points?, makes no sense

It’s totally unnecessary & limits the player skills

True. But listening to the same old comments is so boring and irritating . They can ,in course of time, invite a few professional commentators and make it immersive and exciting

Hey as i have noticed taking wickets before the patch update on feb 5 was easier with the pace bowler but after the update no way i am able to clinch wickets easily hardly i get only 1 or 2 wickets this is making the game so boring and one sided so i request u guys to revert the update and provide the same version of cricket 26 as it was before feb 5

Thank you

Played one big bash game last night after the patch. One of my gripes was too many caught and bowled. Didn’t have one. Before patch was at least 2 per innings.

Obviously 1 game is not enough to test ( hint hint big ant) but was happy enough

Please also advise me as to how one can face yorker length deliveries? I time my shots and still end up being clean bowled when a yorker is bowled. Also, when the bowler bowls to the side of the off stump I am unable to play any shot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone i need help. the game keeps crashing as of late. but if i sim a match it plays normal again for a while then crash. is there anything i can do.

Anyone got an update on steam of size 46mb today plz share patch notes

I got a 500mb on ps5 too

Have not seen it yet

It was just pro team updates/cards

Don’t hold any direction when defending just press defend you’ll bat for 1000 days without getting out

The Yorker to the offside is about unplayable in my experience
