Hi All,

Huge fan of this game. Apologies if I’m being too straightforward and asking a lot of stuff, but are you guys able to confirm whether there’s been tweaks to commentary and will DLS play a part this time round?

Hello,

When can we expect the launch of the game and trailer or demo gameplay of the game? Thank you.

There is a subtopic of Cricket 26 wishlist on cricket 24 topic - are you aware of it and have you implemented changes or any features from the feedback given by community in that sub topic? Thank you.

Really a big fan of the game and I really want this game to be par with any football or Basketball or rugby game.

Best of luck for Cricket 26.

Looks already that the crowd will be using just 3 or 4 colours again. In C24, the crowd was colour coded to use the same colours as Radox bottles (a prominent C24 sponsor, it was always Blue, Yellow, White and Green spectators mostly…), and so a higher range of colours that isnt designed to pander to a Radox advert would be very welcome in C26………..

Thanks Bigant for bringing my childhood memories when we used to play with 12 player in one team. :upside_down_face:

Volumetric lightning and jersey physics still missing??

From a dev standpoint, adding proper jersey physics is way harder than it sounds — especially in a cricket game. The player animations are super dynamic with constant motion from batting, bowling, and fielding, which makes it really tricky to get cloth simulation to behave naturally without clipping or breaking. Even studios like EA have only nailed down decent cloth physics in the last few years. On top of that, it’s really compute-heavy and expensive to implement, so for a studio like Big Ant, it’s probably just not worth the performance hit or development cost at this stage.

Hope we get many cricket shots this time and fluid animations

12 on the field? :man_shrugging:t2::man_facepalming::joy:

Trying to pre order cricket 26 with digital.download no where any suggestion at all

The last couple of BA games have not had digital pre orders. I assume this is the same.

Oh.reallythanks .for.your help.

SHOT VARIETY
Please can we have more shot variety for batting, even defensive blocks - it would be nice not to block the ball the EXACT same way every time, for example. Lets just get the basics more exciting before worrying about creases on the clothing….

Bowling -
Firstly, please get rid of that absurd leg spin action from that one international player who is the only one to bowl like this in the world? lol it looks ridiculous and is extremely repetitive

Skipping through the calendar

PLEASE add the ability to skip to a later date on the calendar so you don’t have to go through every single game one at a time and simulate each game you don’t want to play. This is really a massive waste of time.

Banter from players - Also we need wayyyy more banter and talking from the players on field. Can’t be too hard to just record a BUNCH of simple phrases like at least 30 one word phrases rather than the same 3 noises from the players over and over again.

The game needs injuries like in a match if a player is hit constantly with the ball there has to be someway he gets injured or his game is a bit weaker the way mlb has it or even fc26

Hey Big Ant, when will you release the full info list around what teams are licensed?

Hii Guys,

Can we have an auction mode in cricket 26 in Indian t20 league like IPL. I think that will make game much more interesting.

Hello, Had a few questions. When will preorder of the game open, if preorder is expected. Also, i really think the game should have player auctions in leagues like Pakistan Super League or Indian Premier League. Also, I think the biggest issue that the studios should solve are the fielding blunders.
