Option to choose captain not appearing on ps5
Total waste of this support and of this user thread
As I’ve raised nearly 10 to 12 tickets in regards to game bugs and glitches and game crash
Still no one has ever replied to me via email neither released any patches regarding to it
I did shared images of that particular glitches and bugs
4399 indians rupees totally waste I’ve purchased this one for that much price and it’s no use for me bcoz I mostly play cricket game with my friends online co-op multiple but in cricket 26 online CO-OP multiplayer has been totally disaster as they have disabled this online save game option whenever this game gets crash can’t able to save game/match progress to access it later neither we can save the game if we want to stop the game wish to resume it later of same match progress but we can’t to do that as online co-op multiplayer save option has been locked since the game install
And after each and every patch game supposed to gets polished or bugs or glitches gets fixed right but here thing is different with each and every patch update game becomes shittyyy and non-playbale
I feel game is much better on Day O itself before updates and now after latest yesterday’s patch game became sick and total shittyyy worthless game
I totally regret buying this cricket 26
I should’ve stucked with cricket 24

batting at least I get a load of edges and not many are dropped. Batting and physics on hardest though.
How about start by fixing basic issues that shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place?! These were all flagged & reported the day of release, & still not fixed. Pretty bloody ordinary BAS.
Create a team - No team logos displayed on shirts
Create a stadium - Rotate scenic background function does not work.
Logo creator - Copy & paste function does not work.
Not sure anyone from BAS reads any of these posts, & if they do, not sure that they care anyway. People keep buying their half-baked games regardless.
Guys if you could just fix three glaring things then I think we have a decent game.
1. The AI running between the wickets. Twos are none existent when its there easily
2. The AI never missing runout attempts ever.
3. The AI aggressive scud missile shot
Sort these and we’re getting there.
I’m not able to add licensed players to their respective teams.
E.g., Rashid khan is not added in Afghanistan team but he is licensed bcz of IPL, but I’m able to add him in his national squad.
This is happening for all licensed players, if I try to add players from manage squad, then only unlicensed players are available to add.
After saved custom bats when restart the game not showing saved one it showing games default bats so again we have to save again and again custom bats please fix it
Hi So a great and highly enjoyable game. The only thing that is strange is that Rain DLS is not working correctly like rain should have some animation, I was playing a t20 game with my brother and the game just ends and he won by 6 wickets because of Rain DLS there was no rain animation the game just ended which was not nice.
Again a great game and hopefully could become even better
@MattW @JNT_BA can you guys confirm wether the team is working on patchy looking outfield for indian subcontinent which was already there in pre release video? As of now the grass in subcontinent look similar to that of outfield grass of dena countries. Attached is a pic of outfield in indian subcontinent fore reference. Also note that in subcontinent stadiums have dots marking the 30 yard circle and not complete lines as in the Australian or English stadiums.
Agree, AI never misses inside the circle. Totally outlandish flicks facing the wrong way from 20m that never miss. The fielding is much improved otherwise but this drops it way back. Every time I hear that predictable thud from a direct hit I face palm :S
50+ Bugs and Suggestions for C26: Feedback for BA Studios
I love cricket games, but C26 has honestly been a rough experience. Here are 50+ bugs and issues I personally faced, and that is without even trying.
Gameplay and Performance
-
Frequent crashes in Career Mode. The game often crashes during gameplay.
-
Fielders are too slow to throw. They pause before throwing the ball, and the throwing slider does not help as it’s also very slow. Dot balls within the circle turn into singles because the throw takes too long. Also, you press throwing to the bowler’s end, and it ends up throwing it to the keeper.
-
Fans wearing my team’s jersey were cheering when I got bowled, which makes no sense. (No, Thala wasn’t supposed to bat next.)
-
Boundaries sometimes count even when the ball has not touched the rope. I have stopped balls with a visible gap, and it was still counted as a four.
-
Team logos are missing on the scorecard HUD (I think it’s in T20s only). They appear inconsistently across matches.
-
Fielding mishaps occurs often. Two fielders chase a ball, one runs past the boundary before the ball reaches it, and the other stops halfway.
-
AI batting is too aggressive. They start hitting from the first ball, even on custom settings. Medium difficulty feels harder than Hardest from previous games (It’s fun, but there should be an option for it as it’s not for everyone.)
-
Batting feels like a guessing game. There are no or delayed visual indicators, such as pitch markers or timing arrows, which would help improve fairness.
-
Pitch markers are the same across all difficulty levels. There is no option to adjust timing for custom difficulty. It should be an option and not forced. (I enjoy it tho, feels more fun).
-
At the lowest Career level, the commentator was Adam Gilchrist. This is unrealistic for a rookie match.
-
The game frequently stops for a few seconds before allowing the player to move the cursor or choose an option in the menu when you go back to it.
-
Licensed players cannot be removed from the team directly from the Squad setting.
-
Fielders miss direct throws even when extremely close to the stumps. For example, a dot ball can turn into four singles due to repeated misses by nearby fielders. (I shared the video with BA Studios.)
-
New gymnastic-style animations are fun but overused. Players perform dramatic dives and acrobatics for simple balls and often fail, leading the ball to roll to the boundary. (Some balance is needed to make it look as real as an actual match.)
-
Players move through each other, the wicketkeeper, the bowler, and teammates during animations and sometimes during gameplay too.
-
Buggy animation: Cummins almost clipped the bails off during a delivery, and the next animation showed him disappointed at the boundary rope wearing the cap. (I didn’t have 2 Cummins in my lineup).
-
After every match, one of the batters is always talking and patting an invisible teammate.
-
Bat-to-ball and stumps sound effects feel cheap and weak, reducing presentation quality.
-
When you take a wicket (esp, bowled), players only celebrate during cutscenes. Outside of cutscenes, everyone stands still as if nothing happened.
-
Sometimes the ball hits the batter’s body and drops, but all fielders remain frozen and do nothing. Also, sometimes, when you throw the ball either to the Striker’s or Non-Striker’s end, players stay still until you press any button and then move to the next ball.
-
Both batters sometimes end up at the same end, causing confusion.
-
A fielder sometimes stands on the pitch before the bowler starts the run-up.
-
Batting shots can be buggy. For example, the ball hits the pad and falls, then teleports as if the shot was executed correctly.
-
Helmet celebrations are broken. The helmet rests on the bat initially but teleports to the player’s head mid-animation.
-
The Career Mode is exactly the same except for the layout. Retired players like M Hafeez and Shoaib Malik are still present. I think the roster should be updated. (Not sure whether the WTC and Asia Cup are included or not).
-
In Ashes mode, after losing a match, the interviewer asks, “What do you take away from this draw?” which does not make sense. Another question claimed batters performed well even though the team was bowled out under 200.
-
Super Over stats are broken. No matter how many runs you score, the batter shows 0 runs and 0 balls. Bowler stats are also incorrect. Sometimes it shows 16 runs in 2 overs with 1 wicket or 0 balls bowled and 0 runs conceded. Scorecard only updates properly after the match ends.
-
Downloaded stadiums from the Academy sometimes get stuck, requiring quitting the Stadium Mode to access them.
-
Custom jersey logo placement is laggy and unresponsive.
-
Cannot change the number font on Jerseys like in previous games.
-
The “Show Club Logo” option does not work. Logos do not appear.
-
Captain declarations can be unrealistic. In Ashes mode, my captain declared the first innings at 84/4 while I was batting at 43*. (It was the very first inning of the match.)
-
Custom player names revert to defaults. For example, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar becomes “Buvanesh Kapoor.” Even tried it on a custom player after copying his appearance, but the game freezes.
-
Editing custom player attributes sometimes freezes the game and resets all stats to zero. (Happens especially when you copy the appearance of a licensed player, which is possible when you download him from the Academy.)
-
When downloading players, the option to save a custom player as a new player is gone.
-
Updated squads still show outdated or fake names in lineups, even though the squad page displays correct names.
-
Some lineups have blank names with 0 stats and cannot be removed. Selecting these teams crashes the game.
-
Pro Team mode frequently shows “Match Upload Failed.”
-
Pacers bowl on the off-side excessively, about 90% of the time.
-
Wicketkeepers miss most stumping opportunities and have not completed a successful stumping in my experience.
-
Catches outside boundaries are sometimes counted as valid outs.
-
Batters sometimes take singles while fielders and keepers run around the ball without touching it.
-
Jersey designs are recycled from C22 with no new options (Need more designs so we can play with the custom options, I would def love a gradient option.)
-
The competition designer is still limited. No option for group stages or eliminator formats. (Suggestion)
-
Animations are very limited and repetitive despite the game being in development for years. (Suggestion)
-
Cannot use custom scorecards in custom tournaments. The option is still missing. (Suggestion)
-
Commentary is often disconnected from match events. Commentators react to the wrong moments, and match endings lack realistic reactions. Also, if a boundary wins the game, the batsmen should celebrate immediately, but the game plays a generic cutscene instead.
-
Player models are missing body parts during animations, such as the stomach.
-
The wicketkeeper sometimes moves in front of the batter before the shot is played.
-
Umpires make incorrect calls even after taking the correct review.
-
When changing the bowler through Bowling Tactics (pressing up on the controller), the next bowler displayed is from the opposite team. For example, I am playing as Pakistan, and it shows S. Gill as my next bowler.
-
After today’s patch (25 November 2025), you can no longer select teams from different leagues in Play Now. If you switch to another league, the opponent’s team automatically changes along with it.
-
I hit a grounded shot that the fielder tried to stop, but he ended up touching the rope, and it was given as a six.
-
The keeper has dropped about 9 catches in one match. At one point, he even dropped four in a row. It feels like he cannot hold on to anything, especially when a spinner is bowling. (It has happened in other matches as well.)
-
Whenever I dive, the player at the other end, who is not even at risk, dives instead of me. (I got run out because of it). (It’s a recurring bug.)
-
I received a new contract offer in Management Mode, and the moment I clicked on it, the game crashed. (Clearly, my current team will do anything to keep me.)
-
In stadium creation, the scenic background won’t rotate. And in the logo creator, copy and paste just doesn’t work at all.
The purpose of this post is to compile all the major bugs I’ve encountered and send them to the BA Studios Support Team, hoping they address these issues. Please feel free to share any new bugs you have found. My goal is for them to focus on providing cleaner and smoother gameplay.

Did it help? What’s the most FPS you’ve been able to get?
I have Z1E OG Ally. Contemplating pulling the trigger but I’d probably get even less FPS.
After saved custom bats when restart the game not showing saved one it showing games default bats so again we have to save again and again custom bats please fix it
After the latest patch I’ve hit a point in player career where the game always crashes. A player contracts options appears and there’s no way around it without the game crashing

Hi all creators. I know the game is still very new and creating kits and players take a while. I would like like to know if someone is going to do the South Africa domestic leagues?
The AI hitting the stumps 100% of the time is a big issue, needs to be 50/50

Far less than 50/50 would be realistic, maybe 20% but far more overthrows. It’s what is stopping me playing the game right now. They never miss and you cannot compete against this. There is no risk for them, they just throw it knowing there will never be overthrows. Makes pushing singles just stupidly risky.
Agree fully, I lose about 3 wickets a match on avg because of this, even when declining a run and the batters turning back and then hits the stumps all the way from the outfield
Why do batting practice sessions, in the net or ground, don’t show ball markers, pitch markers etc.

Big Ant Studios, how do we get a refund for this game? $100 for a game with this many bugs & issues is totally unacceptable!
