Can admin jot down the top 10 ideas of new features requests from this thread and run a poll so as to see what people are interested in the most?

Can we not add players into licensed teams?
draft or auction system needs to be added in to competition.
This is horrible , if not fixed I am going back to last game

Right now the batting feedback only shows timing or “poor shot choice”, but it doesn’t explain why the shot went wrong. I’d love a Coaching Mode inside Training/Nets that gives clear, coach-style feedback on every shot.
Here’s what would help:
1. Footwork feedback (with direction clues)
After every shot, show exactly what went wrong:
-
“Front-foot needed”
-
“Back-foot needed”
-
“Didn’t move feet early enough”
-
“Too far to off-side / too far to leg-side”
-
“Weight not transferred”
-
“Footwork was ideal”
2. Shot-selection feedback
Based on line + length, show what the better decision was:
-
“Better option: Leave”
-
“Better option: Back-foot defence”
-
“Drive was correct, but timing early/late”
-
“Ball too short for front-foot shot”
3. Timing and weight-transfer explanation
Not just “Early / Late”, but the reason:
-
“Early because you committed front-foot too soon”
-
“Late because bounce was higher than expected”
-
“Perfect timing + ideal weight transfer”
4. Replay overlay
A short replay that highlights:
-
Ball path
-
Chosen footwork (front / back)
-
Whether footwork was late or misaligned
-
What the game judged as the “ideal” response
5. Optional coaching prompts (pre-shot)
For players who want guidance turned on:
-
“Short length → back foot”
-
“Full on off stump → drive”
-
“Wide outside off → leave or cut”
6. Technique scoring system
A simple score per shot so players see what to improve:
-
Footwork:
-
Shot choice:
-
Timing:
-
Balance:
This would make Training/Nets far more useful and remove the guesswork that frustrates both new players and experienced players. It would help everyone understand why a shot succeeded or failed, not just that it did.
I was in my player career and noticed the ai was selecting some weird lineups
- Marcus Stoinis opening the batting in tests for Australia
- Mitch Marsh batting 11 in Sheffield shield
- Jos Butler in Englands test xi
- Joe Root at 3 Pope at 4 Stokes at 5 and Brook at 6
- Likes of Khawaja and Lyon still playing in 2028
When I was named captain of Australia’s test team I thought I could change our lineup and make it more realistic but it only allowed me to select from an already selected squad which included Mitch Marsh, Tim David, Adam Zampa and Max Bryant, keep in my mind this is a test lineup based in 2028.
the main change I would request is if you’re named captain of your country allow us to select the squad for the series

Thanks for adding many bowling actions, but the selection could’ve been better. Some big players’ actions are missing—like Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, Abrar Ahmad, Mohammad Nawaz, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shadab Khan—while we have actions for players like Sai Kishor and Rahul Chahar who aren’t as relevant. Please add Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad and the bowling actions of Pakistani spinners as well.

I’d love to hear scenario mode is on the cards for future Cricket 26 updates, it’s the best aspect of any cricket game for me since childhood. The pick up and play nature of scenarios and their immediate intensity, whether from historic or custom creations, just adds an irreplaceable dimension. Please consider.

got a question about the bat-on-ball sound. The crisp crack you hear on TV when someone smashes a six or drills a four doesn’t seem as strong in the game. IRL cricket you always hear that strike ringing around the ground is this something that can be improved? Most Iconic Moments in the BBL

I am new to the cricket game and not really familiar with the studio but why are lot of squads made up of random players and absurd ratings. Takes forever to keep downloading squads and players from community and then editing them.
Bat ball contact crack sounds are good in this game tbh.
Allow us to view a players profile in manager mode to see their proficiencies and attributes
Also fix the issue where the CPU just picks the 16 best overall players in the squad. It creates unrealistic lineups

Hey guys couple of simple ones
- At the start of a test championship would be good to be able to pick a squad to play the games atm it’s stuck with just the 12 players. A one day championship has this feature
- management mode. At the start if you start with nsw you can’t pick the 4 day team squad and they begin no wicket keeper for the whole season and you can’t change it.
- Management mode. All the players that play for Australia were able to play all season so able to use Steve smith starc ect every game in marsh cup ect
- In test matches can the Ai be more proactive and change the field to stop boundaires hit in the same spot.
- Hard pitches in test match Ai bowls a lot of bouncers which get called wide like 1 an over almost with fast bowlers
I’m loving #Cricket26 at the moment, the only thing I’m missing is seeing the helmet grill in Pro Cam (or at least having the ability to toggle it), it was transparent in 24, but I liked seeing it in 22.
In Game Scorecard:
- Would be nice to have a page in the in game scorecard for in-game stats. Such as Number of sixes and fours hit by batter, strike rate. etc. Since the game is already tracking these stats as evident by the splash screen when a batter scores a milestone 50/100/150/200 etc and there is a log of sixes and fours on the wagon wheel/spider.
- Easier navigation to Big eye / Hawk Eye. A shortcut button or prompt during a replay
Would be great if there was an option to turn off crowds for those who play on consoles. I spend most of my time playing with my own created local club and playing at the G in front of 90k isn’t very realistic. I know this feature is there for PC players, not sure how easy it would be to bring across to PS5 etc.
I was desperately expecting a toggle feature for playoffs(eliminator, qualifier) on custom tournament league from Cricket 19 till now in Cricket 26, still could not even get response regarding it, atleast suggest a work around within game
Auction or draft option in psl or hundreds.
It would be great to have PACE attributes in the game which directly translate in to bowling speed of the bowler , a younger bowler shouldn’t have high pace even if his role is a FAST BOWLER unless he develops over the years and gain his PACE attributes due to training etc.
It will solve the bug in which every player with FAST BOWLER role is capable of hitting 159k even if he is a batsmen and not a bowler at all and it’s definitely breaking the immersion seeing club players bowling at 159k easily.
