These features will definitely enhance the gameplay and make the game more fun

So Firstly I saw you’ve added India chants during their games.

● You should add Pakistan Chants aswell and Also add Babar Babar Chants whenever he plays a game especially in Pakistani Stadiums which makes it alot realistic for the Pakistani Fans aswell. Babar chants i think are the major ones but You can also consider adding Rohit/Dhoni chants who are licensed.

● Changing Babar Azams batting style— I hope u reconsider his batting style because the one currently selected makes him look like a Tailender batting.

● Adding Shaheen Shah Afridis celebration— If u can add celebrations of other players, Shaheen can get that too.

That’s all, I really hope to see these features in the game :heart:

You do realise that Big Ant are an AUSTRALIAN company, right? There’s a reason that there is an Australian, Indian & English focus.

64

I get that its an “AUSTRALIAN” company

I don’t understand your point but Pakistan is a licnesed team in the game and If Big Ants an “Australian” company can add new features for the Indian Team even thought its not licensed. Pakistan ( A licensed Team with a licensed league) deserves it too❤️

Also Just told some features which India and Pakistan bith would love to see in the game as it makes it more immersing and fun❤️

65

My point is that BAS is a small Australian based company with limited resources. The likely reasons that it is focused on Australia, India & England (all 3 countries have their own cover version of the game) is that, obviously it’s billed as “The official game of the Ashes”, so Australia & England will be the major focus, but India is Australia’s biggest cricketing rival (aside from the Poms) & have the largest population in the world. England & India tour Australia more than every other cricketing nation & they are also almost always amongst the most elite cricketing teams in the world. Pakistan is not. Wanting them to invest their time & money into specific celebrations & chants for players from a country that very few cricket loving people outside of Pakistan care about is fanciful. There are so many other basic issues that they’re still trying to sort out. That’s my point.

When you edit a licensed players bat you can only edit it once. Would love to be able to edit them again

And now Joe Roots batting style has been changed following the update. It’s awful.

Edit: so you can now change bats again so that’s a plus. But the batting styles for so many players have been changed and are all over the place. Please can we edit these ourselves

67

Please add Iqbal stadium, Faisalabad. Pakistan recently played 3 matches ODI series against South Africa there

It would greatly improve Career Mode in Cricket 26 if players could give tactical instructions to their batting partner while controlling only their own created character. For example, when the team is 8 wickets down, the user should be able to tell the non-striker to focus on blocking, defend their wicket, or intentionally rotate the strike so the controlled player can face more deliveries. Adding simple partner-behaviour commands, such as “block only,” “give me the strike,” or “play normally” would make end-of-innings management more realistic and give players deeper strategic control during crucial moments.

If we can’t add licensed players to licensed teams, like previously, can we please be able to select state/county/domestic players to start player careers with?

love the game but there’s just a few bits that frustrate me (batting styles, colour of gloves etc)

70

-Bails and Stumps need to light up more, Bails aren’t even lit it looks like on a wicket. Those clear stumps are neat too, looks like the whole stump lights up.

-Current T20 WC, Test WC and upcoming ODI WC formats, or a way to make group/pool play at least to customize our own tournaments, pool play, super groups or not, page playoff or not, other things.

Also on tournament creation, being able to set a host country and where the games are played! Sorta like in a tour. Perhaps a separate world tournament creation has to be added to do this. Would be a hybrid of tour and tournament creation I would think.

And I just did a tri-series in tour mode and realized there’s no standings, so you kinda have to guess if you’re gonna make the final, so a standings tab in tri-series during a tour would be good.

-Would like to see a few boundary saves, jumping over the rope and knocking it in. I thought there was in the past.

-The run out replays, like when third ump is deciding, would like that.

-Rain cut scene, getting covers on/off, end of session stumps cut scene

-BC Place stadium, for some fun short boundary action.

-A fielding mode that is like semi-assisted almost full, I just want to tell my fielders which stump to throw at.

-AI needs to have a little more grit when chasing, like when the game was first released - one the most fun cricket video game matches I had was early release, where I hit 194 in t20 and defended down to the last bowl and won by 4 runs.

-Ian Bishop and an Indian commentator in english.

-When I look up a username’s catalog in the academy, I should be able to see it all, not just 5 choices.

-On occasion, a kick of the ball to the stumps to try to run out.

-Sri Lankan, South African stadiums

-Batters more vocal when running, “2!” “Whoa!” “No!!” “yes yes!” things like that

-If we can’t edit players, can someone start changing some spinners off Lyon’s style. No one does that. Lyon barely does that weird arm thing.

-Umpire editing, being able to set their wide strictness/leineince.

-Random Umpires selected before each match

71

Why you remove club edit options in career mode. I could edit the teams when I started a career. I could create my local club and opposition. For some reason they have taken this feature out of the 26 game.

Suggestion to add a new spin-bowling type: “Mystery Spinners”

Apart from traditional wrist spinners and finger spinners, there are many current players known as mystery spinners. They use a mix of variations such as leg-breaks, off-breaks/googlies, carrom balls, flippers/sliders, and top-spinners.

Here are some mystery spinners currently playing in leagues or international cricket:

  1. Sunil Narine

  2. Mujeeb ur Rahman

  3. Maheesh Theekshana

  4. Varun Chakravarthy

  5. Abrar Ahmed

  6. Sikandar Raza

  7. Saim Ayub

  8. AM Ghazanfar

I might be missing some.

Seem to get a lot of wickets bowling with spin caught by the keeper? Is this normal any way to halve the amount? Sometimes I get 8 or 9 in an innings?

There is one thing, which can defiantly add more realism. The Dugouts in the stadiums are always empty. It will be great if we can see Team players sitting there. There can be some cuts scene when one of the players reach a milestone or takes a wicket, Team players clap and celebrate. Also, when you win the match the video animation should be zoomed out as players can’t be seen properly. The handshake with opposition is not clear. So, a wide view will be better. Also, when you the teams win, players and staff sitting in dugout can run and join in for celebration will be great. Some firework can also be great.

75

I have also brought this up. This was one of my favourite feutures in Cricket 24. I keep on checking if they perhaps added it with an update.

76

Test championship mode can we please be able to pick a squad at the start of the campaign

You can do it in one dayers but in test match your stuck with the same 12 players

77

AI still can’t play spin in ODIs and T20s , they keep losing wickets without scoring much against spin , kindly fix this issue.

Kindly also add PACE as an attribute so that different bowlers bowls at different pace , would be a big treat for career mode/mgt mode players.

And kindly fix the FAST BOWLER maximum speed of 159k.

78

I understand that pitch wear/cracks on custom stadiums is in hand - hopefully this will be fixed soon.

As a related feature request, when starting a match, the pitch conditions, temperature and wind etc for matches should be initially set based on the custom stadium’s nation. Pitch conditions should remain editable as they are now though.

79

With due respect, India is undoubtedly your biggest market, but please look after Pakistan’s users as well. We are likely the second-largest cricket-gaming community, and you can see on YouTube that many content creators from Pakistan actively support your games.

My request is that Pakistan fans deserve a special patch in which you can include:
• Bowling actions for Abrar Ahmed, M Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Shadab, Nauman Ali, M Wasim Jr., and M Amir
• Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad
• Updated player likenesses for all Pakistani players currently featuring in the BBL
• Crowd chants during Pakistan matches, such as “Pakistan Zindabad”
• PSL background music during over/wicket intervals in PSL matches

Please don’t ignore this. I have already raised a support ticket and posted on the forum, but I would love to hear your response.

Feature Request: Player Auction System for Custom Team Building

Hi team,

I would like to request a feature that would make Cricket 26 even more enjoyable and realistic:
a full player auction system, where we can buy players and build our own team just like in IPL-style auctions.

It would be amazing if the game allowed us to:

  • Buy players through an auction

  • Manage budgets

  • Create our own custom squad based on our choices

  • Use this team in career mode, leagues, or custom tournaments

This type of feature gives players complete control and makes team-building far more fun and strategic. Many cricket games already include this system, and adding it to Cricket 26 would be a huge improvement.

Hope the team considers adding this in future updates.
Thank you!
