Wishlist for Cricket 24 Improvements
- Real IPL Tournament Mode
Include an official IPL mode with real teams, updated squads, fixtures, stadiums, and tournament structure.
Allow player auctions, injury replacements, and real-time team management like the actual league.
Integrate IPL-specific presentation, crowd atmosphere, and post-match award ceremonies.
- Smarter AI That Plays According to Match Situations
Improve AI behavior to adapt to the match context—defensive play in tight chases, aggressive hitting in death overs, and field changes as per player performance.
Batters should build innings logically and avoid unnecessary risks in early overs.
Bowlers should mix deliveries intelligently and set strategic fields based on the batsman and match scenario.
- Fix Unrealistic Fielder Movements
Currently, fielders often reach the ball unnaturally fast, ruining the realism.
Introduce more realistic player movements, momentum, and occasional misfields based on player ratings and pressure situations.
- Reduce Unrealistic Direct Hit Run Outs
Direct hits happen too frequently in the game, which isn’t reflective of real cricket.
Make direct hits rare and skill-based, considering the difficulty and player attributes (e.g., fielding skill, throwing accuracy).
- Balance the Frequency of Caught and Bowled Wickets
Caught and bowled dismissals occur far too often in the current gameplay.
Reduce these incidents and make them more situational, especially considering shot power and bowler reaction times.
- Add More Cutscenes and Match Animations
Improve immersion with dynamic cutscenes for toss, player milestones, crowd reactions, and close decisions.
Include unique celebrations for different players and high-stakes moments like last-over wins or hat-tricks.
- Make Commentary More Realistic and Context-Aware
Enhance commentary so that commentators talk about current match situations, player form, milestones, and tactical shifts.
Reduce repetitive lines and add emotion, excitement, and storytelling elements to keep commentary engaging throughout the match.
