I’m loving the game and the patches have made the game increasingly better. One area of focus I’d love to see is improving the cutscenes when you get a 50 or a century. We work so hard to get those milestones and when the cutscenes are glitchy or just wrong it’s so frustrating. Eg. Getting a century and the batter doesn’t take their helmet off, or celebrates really quickly and the scene skips. This is a big occasion and the game needs to treat it as such in my opinion! It would be incredible if we could pick the celebration type when we get a 50 or century! Thank you big ant you guys are awesome!

no but I dont know why cause there have been so many complaints

No still not fixed, can’t bowl for more than 3 overs with career player. Doing treadmill basically everyday to help with ‘physical’ but does nothing to improve. It’s so bad that my player got injured after bowling and then was ‘retired’ so I couldn’t bat….

With the newest update, something happened to the AI fielding…just bowled an over…4 out of the 6 balls they edged it….went right past the slips..couldn’t catch a fly. Incredibly frustrating.

One suggestion that please dont change any archetype settings because archetypes are working perfectly at the moment as whatever archetype is given players act accordingly so please let it be the way it is now

I don’t think the bowling archetypes work at all at least with custom players, I’ve raised tickets on this in the past, part timers bowl way more than strike archetype, it’s broken to the point that batters & batting all rounders are bowling overs for no reason while main bowlers are not finishing their quota, but this was in the simulated games, when it comes to main game spinners are bowling in death overs

I don’t know if this has fixed in latest patch, death overs specialist archetype should be added to fix this

Are we getting an update today?

I dont think so, but we just need one tbh

Its thursday, afl and rugby got an updated, will we get a good one?

we didnt get one so there must be one coming. Right…

Tomorrow I reckon. With hopefully more county stadiums

Not able to play any ipl game from play now and competitions tab. Game is crashing

Overall I feel like the close in fielding is better most of the time. I’ve still had two instances where the wicket keeper was unable to take a catch and that was in my first and only game since the patch.

In the first instance the game slowed down long enough and well enough I was happy with that but the circle that popped up had a grayed out x in it and I couldn’t move to the middle of that circle. All of a sudden as the ball got right up to the keeper it suddenly sped up at the same moment the movable indicator came up. Of course there was suddenly no time to react and the catch was dropped.

The second situation was not quite so bad I could move the indicator right away but it moved very slowly and I didn’t have enough time to get it to the circle and it suddenly sped up not long after I began to move it, another drop.

In a third situation it worked perfectly fine and I just had enough time to get the indicator into the circle and take the catch.

I haven’t got to the point yet where I can test if pushing a different button than the one Inside the indicator will still give you the catch when it shouldn’t as that has been a bug for a long time.

In other areas it felt like the AI was playing a little bit more realistically in relation to the game scenario and how it would need to play or how a real team would play.

Overall the experience felt a little better but as always there are just a few things that need fixed like the close in fielding.

Just had my batting partner ‘retire’ while batting, first time I’ve seen an injury in the game…

This used to happen in some of their older games when the batsmen’s energy would run ultra low or zero.

Like how in what match type and what situation

Yeah for spinners the camera still shifts way before the ball has even landed, as if game let’s you know that AI will edge the ball & be ready to tap the catch

Honestly keeper catches of spinners in semi-assisted should happen on its own, I am yet to see how edges are carrying to slips, coz for seamer twice the ball went through keeper & 2nd slip, the mechanism just didn’t trigger, neither of them moved at all, previously either of them would just dive & take one handed catches

I don’t know why they had to change slip catching, it was all good before but people will keep giving them tickets which would confuse devs about what people really want

Caught and bowled has been broken, like zero possibility of taking catches (everything comes up, locked in green, take the catch, simply not given), for me on PS5 since a couple of patches ago. About to go play it now and see if it’s fixed.
