Hey guys, does cricket 26 still support 4 players playing on the same PS5? I saw on the disc box it say 1 player unlike the cricket 24 box.
new patch did not help, still getting run out by insane flicks :S They don’t even need to pivot to throw, it’s just one motion and instantly hits… it’s my biggest gripe with the game, it’s been around for so many games now.
Game “STILL” constantly crashing on Tour Mode on PS4. It’ll let me play maybe 1 session at a time, save the game, and when I go back later to reload the game, it won’t let me. I know it’s still early days & there are probably still a few more patches to come, but this is not good enough. I paid £45-50 for this game & I can barely play the mode I like the best.

Frustrating! Also played now with the latest patch! Gameplay still the same.
Yes it does support 4 players
Same issue on Xbox right now
Bails not lighting up. Stumps are. The lights could be brighter/ more intense too.
Re: Most recent patch update. I see you guys actively making changes and improvements based on what’s being shared in the forum and I commend you for that. Cricket 26 at this stage of release has less issues than the 22 and 24 if memory serves correct. I still believe this will be the best game to date. I’m actually thinking about waiting 3 months before I play Cricket 26 again honestly, while you guys figure out certain things. I saw another individual comment on 57 issues they’ve encountered, personally I haven’t experienced as much as that, but they are some reoccurring issues that needs to be addressed. 1. Fielders throwing with the incorrect hand takes me back to Cricket 04 on Easports - It’s an absolute non-negotiable in 2025. Imagine taking up a soccer game in 2025 and Mbappe has no speed advantage or steph curry shoots the basketball as a lefthander - it completely takes away from the authenticity of the game. 2. Please Please Please unlock the license players so the users can make the necessary changes to the batting styles and bowling styles etc. I’ve noticed some changes made to bowling actions - Generic bowling option 3 - the one you guys have named Cummins but really is Classic 3 - That should be the starting point for every bowler without his/her action - It’s actually a decent, classical bowling option - Way too many licensed players have Classical 1 bowling action - Maybe it’s sentimental to Don Bradman cricket, but it’s probably the worst action in the entire game. You’ve changed Stokes action to Mohammad Shami. If you were going to give stokes a different action apart from the classical (default) one he had - it had to be Flintoff. Alzarri Joseph is another one that was changed from classical 3 (You’re Cummins) to Arshdeep - - Cameron Green - another one that just had to be switched to Classic 3 - He bowls nothing like Matt Henry. 3. Mohammad Siraj and Kuldeep’s bowling animations still result in Siraj’s deliveries looping in the air upon release and Kuldeep’s own dipping and going to a really low trajectory, and he’s already a short individual. On the flip side - the movement of the short leg fielder is actually top tier (job well done) the cutscreen issues with people walking through each other seems to be rectified, and generally I did see improved stability overall with the few overs played after the update. Fielders are once again pulling back in the ball inside the boundary, so again I’m seeing the changes and improvements based on feedback from the community. They were a few other things I noticed that still needs to be rectified, but they’re not coming to mind at the moment. I genuinely think what would make the community happy is if you guys unlocked the licensed players - We can’t change their faces which is fine, and shouldn’t be allowed to change their sponsored gear, but if labuschagne backs with an sweatband (armguard) we should be able to make that change. I’m seeing some video on YT with persons suggesting that batting style 8 is Harry Brook, 9 is Stokes etc…..and tbh upon watching the videos - I couldn’t unsee the similarities, but whether true or not, Having 11 batting styles and not being abled to have them properly dispersed through the game is a gut punch as a player. Having 60 bowling actions and seeing so many players have Classical 1 or assigned actions that are not even close to their real-life actions is another gut punch. So again I plead with you, kindly unlock the license players. If not I’m offering my services to personally come and go through every single licensed player in the game and make sure their batting styles and bowling styles mirror something that closely reflects what we see in real life. They’ve been lots of emphasis placed on new game modes etc, but I can assure you, what any player really wants when they take up a sports game is that the action feels as close to a real life simulation they can possibly get so they can immerse themself in the action - Seeing Shubman Gill bat with no.4 batting style when batting style 7 is far more aesthetically pleasing on the eye is a gut punch. - We all love cricket and love BIg Ant studios cricket games - we just want the best gaming expereince possible.

I think confidence levels are either not working or wrong for limited overs cricket; I’m playing a t20 and Buttler is 51 off 30 balls and still appearing as Amber confidence. It might be that they are showing test confidence levels instead?

Now unable to use a created player in star mens player career mode? It was possible on launch
Please fix the slight bug that is present in all new fast bowling actions, where the bowlers make a weird abnormal movement at the end, after releasing the ball. It is very prominent in bowlers like Naseem shah. Thanks
LATEST PATCH ISSUES

Would love to see a toggle switch in a menu that allowed us to have the ‘push for single’ shot as the default ‘stick only’ (no button input) on Pro controls. The current default would then swap to require LB / RB - button input for a more powerful stroke.
Current default stroke is too powerful (needs needing, along with distance of LT shots) and therefore every time the ball goes through a gap in a Test match it’s a 4, which kind of ruins it.
Your game best of the best . please it’s my deepest request to the game makers please please I beg you to add ab de villiers batting style he is a batting legend he so underrated. His is a legend his batting style need to be added in the game .
Loving the game but can you please sort out the AI constantly hitting the stumps with throws

Anyone noticed in career/manager mode: do players’ ratings gradually decline when they reach their mid-30s (35–37), or do they ever retire automatically?”
The game isn’t really ready to be played properly.
Can’t add players to licenced squads
bowling speeds are all over the place for most players
Community search for teams is only showing a small selection when I know there’s more on there when you search using gamertag.
Seems pointless getting started on anything long term because you have no idea what is going to change at any given time.
2 years to make a game that isn’t massively different from the previous versions. You would expect it to be a lot more polished than it is.

Anyone else struggling to play as an international side on management career?
I want to go as England but only letting me choose the County sides.
At the very start of creating a save you need to enable the start from any team option, then you can select England if you want
