Cricket 26 - Megathread

Just had a catch given not out again after the batter’s left it and the ball hit the glove

Its really tough to make new batting styles but i hope not to tune existing ones

In today’s cricket each and every batter plays with a backfoot trigger, some go just a lil back so go back and across, no batting stance is a still one but still in our game we have 7 styles out of 11 that have a fixed batting stance without any trigger movement

From test match players to limited over specialists, from openers to finishers everyone has a trigger movement.

Please add trigger movement to the exisitng batting styles as they should be with respect to the players whom those styles have been alotted to

Currently batting style 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11 have no trigger movement whereas 2, 5, 8, 9 have trigger movements and also know that maximum players alot their players these 4 batting styles only while using career mode too

Anyone else notice the really janky fielding out there since the last update? I have guys doing stutter step, others running zig zag like they’re avoiding sniper fire, then we have the ones where they over run an easy catch so they can grab it on its second or third bounce I even had someone doing a sorta diving roly poly right over the top of a ball that shouldn’t but did go for 4.

What ever you did to the fielding has not gone completely to plan I reckon

Tailenders are scoring 60-70 runs for fun in test matches no matter how low their batting skills are .

Then there are some genius in planet cricket forum who play test day and night and claim everything is fine. Those genious people should try to give correct feedback rather than hiding flaws.

In career management mode, when playing in the IPL (and also regular IPL mode as far as I can tell), all teams are selecting like 6-8 overseas players, and there doesn’t seem to be any limit, which completely breaks a lot of the immersion :frowning: Other than that lovely game!

when will remaining unscanned PSL players like m.hasnain, akif javed, ben sears, bennet, asalanka will come in game?


I hope these screenshots will make it easier to understand what are the actual issues with AI run scoring and flow of the match.

Literally 0 doubles in a T20 match. It would be nice if we can have more focus towards doubles rather than entire focus towards 4s and 6s. Singles are totally fine but 0 doubles that’s just don’t feel right. It feels like a robotic gameplay at the moment. Also everytime AI loses wickets inside powerplay and I have not seen openers surviving powerplay till now.

Another issue is majority of wickets are catch outs. Lbws,Clean bold are very rare now.

I like the fact that AI is now chasing targets well but the way the runs are being scored that needs to be fixed. In short flow of the game is missing. And of course anything above 50 run rate in chasing AI just go berserk that also needs to be fixed.

Another thing is AI is not playing shots towards long on/longoff region , straight shots are missing. And AI is playing just too many leg side shots at the moment. Little tweaks are needed.

Please fix these issues but please don’t take away the intent from AI in chasing.

Yeah, the changes have made it easier in test matches to get wickets now. The batters are playing shots every ball, all you have to do is put in close catchers bowl short and every other ball almost, is being caught. As the previous post has said, no LBW’s and one or two bowled.
Given up with T20’s entirely as well
They still haven’t fixed the keeper catching from the April update either. The keeper catches around 3 in 10

Are we getting an update tomorrow?

Hi there, first post on the forum. Just wanted to ask about the most recent update as for me it has made bowling a real struggle, especially in T20 and OD formats. Using the same difficult as before the update, and I’ve gone from a very low economy to getting smacked around no matter what deliveries I try.

Hello, not sure if a new patch is going to be released in the next day or so, but at the moment on this patch anything above 50 run rate is carnage.

Hope that helps!

Have you tried bumping run rate target up and striker timing down?

Run Rate Target is that, what they target for, and if they cant time the ball well, they’ll get there, perhaps bring striker timing down and they will make some flubs along the way even above 50 run rate target. Just suggesting, not sure.

does anyone know how to fix this, I start a new career with my own created player that I add into the australian team and edit their skills etc, i put all physical stats at their highest, yet when going into games the player is unable to sprint between wickets, he has full stamina and condition is at 100%, wondering if anyone knows what this issue is?

Slow Running between the wickets is a issue and this happens irrespective of physical skills of a player.You can’t do anything for this issue this has to fixed by BA. Running between wickets is conservative at the moment.

This seems interesting. Could you submit a ticket to the Support Team so they can have a look at this? They may need your save data to investigate. You can create a ticket here: https://support.bigant.com/
