Honestly, I probably would only consider buying if the career mode is much improved. I can’t be bothered re-doing all my custom teams, stadiums, and players again unless the Career mode makes it worth the upgrade. The gameplay I am not worried about as I find toying with the sliders is enough to get it to a point I enjoy.
My wishlist for career mode:
-
A more realistic fixture. Not just a Future Tours Programme that repeats every 4 years. A way around this would be to either allow us to edit the fixtures in the calendar or add tour designer into career mode.
-
More logical AI team selection. A way around it would to be allow us to edit the opposition line up as you can do in Play Now.
-
Inclusion of all ICC tournaments (ODI WC, T20 WC, WTC). If there are licensing issues around this just give them fake names like the “Big Ant World Series” or something lol. We will know what they are supposed to be.
-
Comprehensive list of stats and records. It would be cool to be notified if your break a real life world records (like fastest Test 100, fastest to 1000 runs, most wickets in a series, ect) They could even be trophies.
Other:
- More customisation settings for custom stadiums
- Ability to play as a “Star Player” in Play Now
