Cricket 26 - Megathread

I want to say that a new game update was released on 19 February in which the World Cup was added. However, in that World Cup mode, if we use a custom Pakistan team with the official World Cup kit, the groups get messed up.

after new patch game crashes twice so far with balls rolling gently to bouundary

Guys from Big Ant, put the game on a special for us? So I can buy :joy:

Please check the arcade mode batting controls in ps4 where Blackfoot input is not working after updates,like holding the r2 won’t bat in Backfoot as mentioned in the controls,instead if you press r2 once before the bowl delivers the batsman bat in back foot and it won’t work once the ball delivered which means how we know that the baller going to bowl in short or good length before the bowler bowls the ball and also once you press the r2 button the batter keeps on batting on back foot until or unless you press the r2 button again .please take a serious resolution asap

Lots of positives from latest patch but there seems to be an break in the flow or smoothness when a fielder returns a throw occasionally like a jump in the frames or a stutter. Can this be looked at please guys. Thanks

Why am I not able to share teams in academy, is there a limit to sharing teams that you can’t share teams more than thrice?, and I keep getting this error again & again

Without sounding like a big ant employee. Your best option is to send a ticket to the support team. They are pretty helpful.

I already made a ticket for it, i guess it’s a problem with sharing some downloaded players, I am getting error specifically for those players, players that I created are getting shared while those downloaded from other creators giving error

Oh right, never had that before. Only had stuff not downloading properly, but been okay the last week

AI bowling changes are absolutely shocking, why would Daryl Mitchell bowl more overs than shane bond, symonds bowls more overs than brett lee, Michael Clarke than glenn mcgrath in an ODI match, but this happens in the game, it’s makes absolutely no sense, I was forced to make Clarke as pure batter instead of batting all rounder

This is why that all rounder slot was necessary game just randomly gives more overs to batting all rounder thinking they’re just as good bowlers as bowling all rounders, instead of proper all rounders, this never happened in cricket 24

Why do martin guptill & neil wagner keep getting reverted back to random names everytime time you open the game, despite saving their names before closing it

So annoying

Is it possible to stop AI picking ridiculous test lineups on player career without having to be captain? I’m 2 years in and Salt, Buttler, Bairstow and Roy are all in the England test lineup.

AI selection & bowling changes has been terrible in competition mode, simulated matches give some of the most outrageous bowling scorecards, batters and part timers bowl much more than proper bowlers, especially bowlers with strike archetype bowl very little if there are more than 5 bowlers, it bowls powerplay & new ball bowlers whole quota enforcers get fair quota, part timers get way more than they should, so much that non bowlers like lara & morgan are bowling in ODIs, strike bowlers are hardly used

AI completely forgets that there are bowlers beyond new ball bowlers & keep giving overs to batting all rounders

I would love if the ball started to age in longer formats. Test cricket & sheffield shield. The ball stays new ball for the AI. it ages good when im bowling but brand new all innings when AI is bowling.

Ball is hooping around when its 70 overs old in dry Indian condtions

I would just love them to fix the fielding….makes setting a mid off and mid off waste of time if fielder gets stuck or jogs on spot while AI runs two….have slow down mechanic for all catches not just caught and bowl…have it properly for slips catches

My player career mode save is broken. I get to the end of the first season and advance to get to the second season and the game crashes every time when it gets to February 8th in the calendar? I’m on PS5 and don’t know how to get past this.

Some questions about the Xbox version..

Can wicket keeper be placed/instructed to stand up to the wickets to fast/medium bowlers?

What the hell is going on with fielders “dithering” to pick up the ball until AI batsmen have virtually completed their run??

Do AI batsmen “learn” human bowling patterns?

why would you want that when they drop catches off spinners standing up….lol….short answer no

Yeah the unnecessary pause while aiming & throws the ball when AI has already completed the run, the gather & throw seems non-existent in the game let alone quick throw, also the tap back at boundary just doesn’t work & too many one handed diving & tumbling catches at boundary for no reason, when fielder could simply take it while standing, it’s okay if they happen once or twice in the game, but it’s almost every catch now, as if players can’t catch normally, especially when there’s so much room between fielder & boundary, needless tumbling sometimes lead to fielder rolling onto the boundary cushion & given as 6
