Face scans and licences > Gameplay. I thought this was well established by now?

This might be the most apt Big Ant marketing slogan I've ever read. Honestly, it should just be a staple on all advertising material.

Ah apologies, that was just a link to the start of a forum article about what the challenge is, not my work. But thank you for the kind words! I've mainly gone on for so long because I can't change or upgrade, so may as well just keep chugging along.

I saw that this thread had a few new posts, then stumbled across this post of mine from April 2023 lol My knackered old laptop can run 2023, but as of FM24, they made it so it was Windows 10 or up, so 23 is where I'll be stopping unless I get a different machine to run it on. Suffice to say...

I reckon BA have other things on the go with the reception AFL26 is getting :facepalm2:

This is true. Big Ant is pretty much done for me, I can't get on board with the way they operate and the stuff they churn out. But a fully recreated Scarborough Cricket Ground, that might be too much for me. Proper cricket :grat:

If you aren't expecting one of these graphics a day or two into the first Ashes test, then I would have to question your sanity: Fool me once.....

I would enjoy knowing what the player base still is for the game at this point, to be pushing a new mode out. Granted, BA will simply carry Pro Teams over to any other releases they peddle out, but we're not far off 18 months since launch. That seems pretty bonkers, even if it's just to stick...

You forgot Pro Teams. But so did Big Ant har har har

Agreed. And unsure if previous Cricket games have appeared at such showcases, just caught my eye as a possibility if people were interested.

Possible Cricket 26 news incoming, for anyone interested: https://x.com/Nacon/status/1894734159547089267

Since he puts a photo on his Twitter of every place he goes, a small part of me does wonder if all those capture sessions are just so Ross can globetrot for a while and rub shoulders with players. That would be awfully cynical of me, tho.

But what will BA do with all those licences they spent a whopping budget to acquire?? That nobody asked for whilst an incredibly dedicated modding community took their games to a different level anyway.

I can get Cricket 24 for free as part of the mid-tier of PSN, and even then I've not pulled the trigger. Seeing that you're still enjoying it tho old bean, that does give me a little tease to do it :winky: Hope you're well :thumbs

One to keep in mind when Cricket 26 rolls around, and people are contemplating if it'll be the same as previous releases in the series...... For the record, the game has been out 14 months. For a game that is constantly fixing things (and it appears still has stuff to fix), that doesn't feel...
