Yeah even I dropped a catch off the keeper, umpire still gave it out

I’ve had one game and only one knick to the keeper and it was one of those ones where the catching game appears before the batsman has hit the ball again! When I tried to move the icon to the middle of the catching circle, it was moving so that was something, but then it just wouldn’t accept the button input when it got into the circle, despite me choosing the correct shape (PS5).
I thought it was maybe just a one-off as it was my only knick to keeper or slips in my game, but having read other comments since, it seem there’s still a little road to go to get these things working as well as they did in earlier titles sadly!

After last patch. This bug is spoiling entire experience. Batsman plays an aggressive ground shot . Ball goes to fielder . Fielder returns the throw . Umpire gives out . For no reason at all.
This is shameful . Why can’t BigAnts for once fix something without breaking something else

Yeah I just had this happen to me. Mine was an edge that rolled for a bit, fielder ran in, out, caught. I have video too.

Dropped catch counting as wicket.
This is the standard of the fielding post todays patch. Really very disappointed. This has happened multiple times per game.
Also still not getting working keeper and slips catches off anyone, with an extremely long line distance between the icon and the target circle happening in this game and no way to get the icon to the circle in time and they’ve just been drops… BUT, one of them counted. Yep a wicket anyway!
Semi-assisted fielding is a debacle and it really feels from my point of view that the focus is mainly on full auto fielding from a development stand point, because this is absolutely woeful and legitimately broken gameplay.
Yep, this is EVERY bit as bad as you say.
Maybe we need to fill this page with links to broken fielding to hear something back. Out of Rugby, Rugby League and Cricket, this is currently the worst piece of any of Big Ant’s games currently going around.

Please add quetta Gladiators PSL 11 kits and peshawar, lahore away kits please
2nd ball of the day. It really makes the game not fun. Why would a fielder need to dive forward here? This has been happening since the Late march patch I posted a different video about.
Where is the switch 2 announcement of the game. There never been such a long gap before between the release. Also they advertised coming to all popular consoles and switch is second best selling of all time
@WickeySticket I think you will find that this thing has been there a lot longer than just the late march patch
Nah, I’ve got 450+ hours, it wasn’t like this and/or as frequent since a patch in March.
The crazy thing is when I’m batting, the AI opponent never has this issue.
Please increase the edge frequency on lower difficulty. It’s getting very frustrating.

Yeah edges are reduced to ridiculous amount
Just happened in the player career mode in the IPL
Just see the popup about being kind. This isn’t to laugh at the people behind the game, just to make the game better. I’ve had a lot more good moments than bad playing this and appreciate having a cricket game to play.
@MattW I noticed that the crowd in Pakistani stadiums or during PSL games are chanting the same religious slogans as in Indian stadiums or Indian games. This takes out the immersiveness of the venue or tournament. It is amazing to see the replication of Indian crowds but would be great to see it for Pakistani stadiums and games as well. Even some ambient sounds sampled from real life pakistani crowds would be great, also if same can be done for Indian games as well.
And just to point it out, it is nothing against India or Indian crowds just wanted the same for Pakistani crowds as well. It adds more to the realism. Especially while playing an Ind vs Pak match
Thank you

I feel like this latest hotfix patch has been to fix the terrible catching off the ground bug as I’ve played a full two innings of fielding and not had the bug yet. Still that’s a small sample of course.
Also I did have one caught behind and the formerly dodgy mechanism worked.
Would be great to have notes, but yes some improvement so far.
Thank you Big Ant for staying on this, I’m guessing it must be a touchy piece of code, but this seems to be a step forward.
I dunno. I like cricket 
What’s with this broken commentary, why does it keep saying AI missed run out every 2nd ball
Best bit of gameplay I’ve seen on cricket 26. On the boundary, falling back, the fielder stops this from going for a 6
