Cricket 26 - Megathread

@MattW when are you releasing patch notes?

While you guys are fixing the stamina bar, does anyone else have the ‘fielder (even bowler) stays in place in the infield on defensive shots and the AI batsmen run one/two’ bug? I get it every time on an AI defensive prod and it is super frustrating.

e: I can confirm that the patch today wasn’t the stamina fix because I just bowled a few balls and huge chunks keep disappearing.

Guessing no patch notes, means it’s just a pro team up date!

Cricket 26 improving well just needs a fine touch.

  1. Archetypes like rotator, anchor needs to be fixed immediately because when 4’s and 6’s needs they should also have the capability to score it. Which they are not doing .
  2. A.i. has to play with match situation and awareness when chasing and giving target
  3. When run needed they are playing defensive or leaving balls mostly at end of an over from 40 to 50 overs and t20 15 to 20 overs. Even when wickets in hand.
  4. A.i. has to be smart very smart. It’s year 2026
  5. A.i. Field settings and bowling is not smart at all. I am hitting 4’s in the same place and then bowler keep on bowling in the same place and also fielder is not setting to that place for. protection. Come on BA. Fix this.
  6. A i. Bowling very forgiving, I can play defense whole day with out any risk. Increase the chance of edge and bowled and lbw for human batter. Again saying human batter not a.i.
  7. Thank you for fixing stamina but more work needed on it.
  8. Please introduce injuries.
  9. I thought you added tap back in fielding but where is it in semi assist ? no tap back for semi assist fielding please fix it.
  10. In filter you added Gotham, ink , desaturated please replace them with something much fruitful, nobody will play with them. Including something colourful.
  11. Include more stadiums from Sri-Lanka, Pakistan, south africa, bangladesh.
  12. Make human batting more harder. And make human bowling more difficult and challenging.
  13. Over difficulties on default make harder and challenging.

Thank you

Is the players batting average in career stats ever going to be fixed? It’s double what it should.

I am not sure if everyone is experiencing this . Catch drops have become extremely high after last 3 patches. In-fielders drop sitters , or they run in and jump and ball goes past them without catch being taken. Outfielders run in even though the catch needs to be taken at boundary and then they jump and ball goes past their head . I am surprised how development team is not noticing these bugs !

Is that right? I wouldn’t be so sure. Can’t say I’ve seen that personally.

I see AI no balls are happening more often. Sometimes a little too often (three in a row is a bit much, on legend too)

During 2nd powerplay of a one-day/odi AI not putting more than two fielders out even though Im smashing. Confirmed when they did put 4 out at 10.5.

In another game went into 11.x still kept two in the outfield. Had 9-10rr going vs AI so it was weird.

And sixes seem a little easy still, maybe a few more should fall short and go for 4. Turned a lot of shot boosting sliders down to 30 or under and made timing more difficult so I am seeing a few less 6s in this regard, not so bad. But yeah.

Just realized there was update, this was all pre 1.0.2469

The main reason for that @WickeySticket is because of the stamina loss update usually with normal stamina it’s easy to bowl but with no stamina, like the update added you bowl more no balls with no stamina so the more lack of stamina then yk

I dont bowl more NBs. AI does. But yeah, probably why.

im okay with stamina stuff, just cant hold fast bowl trigger all the time.

fix the fact that 1 over takes so much out of your stamina and make it that waiting 1 over before u bowl again doesnt just add 2 stamina

Kind of getting tired of the game now because of his one issue I constantly face. The AI batters, in any limited over format (ODI, t20, 40 over) bat at a good average run rate throughout the innings but in the last 10 overs of an ODI, or last 4 overs of a t20 they just start going berserk. I know in reality that is usually the case but in the game it is really unbalanced and it seems like there is no delivery that gets to the batter and really gives them difficulty. They just hit any ball anywhere for six and it makes defend targets ver bland and boring IMO.

Been playing cricket 24 and it’s really decent and fun.

How does cricket 26 compare?

Are you able to move players to different teams?

I think you are and if you are enjoying cricket 24 I think you will enjoy cricket 26 better, unless the difficult is 2 hard for some people but everyones different

Cricket 26 is better. Regard moving players its just like 24 via academy.

My one gripe and i gave raised the ticket is on some teams in managed squad tab you can not add or remove players. BUT if you go into team line ups the players are added.

On the whole i would say buy it

Stamina is still a problem, bowl 2 overs, and your stamina is gone, u dont take wickets, and when u dont bowl your stamina doesnt return, aswel as when u bat it doesnt return, fix this, ots been a problem for the longest time now

Hi. I am trying to import a SVG logo in the Logo Creator. My logo is around 450px x 450 px and has around 360 nodes. But still i get error while importing telling me the image has too many points. What’s the limit on number of nodes ?

Why are left arm pacers bowling round the wicket by default, they’re barely a challenge coz they keep giving width & slot balls, and anytime AI bowls bouncers, it’s almost certainly wide, it’s so annoying
