Cricket 26 - Pre Launch Megathread

To make the game as realistic as possible, Jarvo 69 should be added to the crowd & in random games, be able to join international teams during their national anthem. He should also be able to interfere with the game whilst ineffective security personnel try to stop him. Players could then also have the option (as the batting team), to bludgeon him with their bats. If using his name would cause licensing issues, just add a random pale, overweight Englishmen, or allow the community to make him in the Cricket Academy. This would make the game truly authentic & memorable.

It all has to do with incentives and how/if they can be assessable in every nation that the game comes out in

looks like no one is interested in this game by the intensity of comments lol :rofl:

I think there’s interest but caution is warranted.

Devs should give insights into the game which may not be bound by the licenses or else there is nothing to discuss about. There has been a gap of 2 years and with no new major licences, and inhouse game engine being upgraded with each sports title throughout the year, cricket game does deserve a massive leap in terms of graphics and gameplay. Cricket games still can’t compete to decade old sports titles. With nacon acquisition and ample of time in between, with decent budget and no new major investment,graphics and animation improvements are the least we can expect from BA @JNT_BA

When will the game release on PC? I only see consoles on the trailer for the 20th.

Please guys please please add sledging and make post match interviews more immersive with consequences from Cricket Boards, fans, captains, media, team members, coaches etc…..each word we say should have some weight externally and should impact the career in the career mode and let’s have rivalries between teams, players and even within same teams

It will release the same day as console versions - 20th November

@JNT_BA @RossSymons can volumetric lightning in terms of “haze” and smog be there in the game especially for subcontinental stadiums at launch?

Have been playing Big Ant’s Cricket games for more than 6 years now and remain my favourite games. However, I only have a Nintendo Switch which means that I will currently not be able to play Cricket 26. Just wondering if the game will be made compatible for the switch (which I know will allow many more people like me to access the game). Good luck Big Ant on the release of Cricket 26

Any word about a switch/switch 2 release? Because looking at the specs my PC would actually explode

What will be differenct between the PS5 and the PS4 version. Will we see the new animations and new additions in the PS4 version?

@JNT_BA @RossSymons will there be few effect on gameplay.. especially in the subcontinent?

Where can we get this on PC?

@JNT_BA

@JNT_BA just wanted to ask I know the Pakistan team is licensed in Cricket26 and from the trailer and screenshots released it shows they have the latest Test and ODI kit i just wanted to ask will they have the latest T20 kit they are currently wearing atm, the reason I ask this is because there are a few youtube vids doing the rounds which shows the Pakistan T20 kit they wore back in 2022!! Can you advise if they will have the latest 2024 T20 kit in the game? As that would he outdated big time if thats the case

Looking at yesterday’s gameplay the stats look out of sync.

Per screenshot Mitchell Starc has played 82 tests instead of 100
