Had another enjoyable Career Mode first class match against Northamptonshire. Whereas yesterday I was disappointed to see that Durham's Riverside ground was surrounded by mountains...I was more disappointed to find out that Northamptonshire's home ground was Eden Gardens...how did that happen...

I had my first Career Mode first class match at county level for Durham. I was very disappointed that the Riverside didn't look right and was situated in the Alps, by the looks of it...where was Lumley Castle? That aside, the match was fun and I managed to get 4 wickets in each innings including...

There is a secret key combo you need to use to make changes stick (understanding menu interactions is another mini-game you get free with the main game). Go into hairstyles, select the one you want, then go back into the hairstyle selection menu, then hit 'Undo', then hit 'Redo', then exit. Good...

Wouldn't it be great if every available setting was documented by Big Ant, so we knew what each thing was supposed to do. There always seems to be this post-release science experiment where the people try to interpret what certain things might do and in what context. I don't think the mysteries...

Really? I have experimented a bit, in game, and I don't think I can see the difference.

Do sliders effect Career Mode? I find that bowling leg spin most stuff goes over the stumps unless pitched at yorker length. In Cricket 19 you used to be able to adjust the length a bit with L1/R1...but that seem to have been removed for Cricket 22...but can't find a way to adjust sliders in...

Yes...but do they ever obscure the Sun? Do they move? I still haven't had a proper overcast day with no hard shadows...or a day that starts OK and then clouds over. Lighting and weather could use some improvement. Playing in Career Mode in Northern England, the weather, sound and lighting never...

My issue since sliders were introduced is that with each iteration of the game there is this meta-game requirement for slider adjustment. At some point the position of sliders seems to be the whole point of the game and playing the match is just a way of scoring the effectiveness of your...

I would hope that the chance of catching the ball is also a factor of how difficult the catch is and how capable the fielder is, rather than all chances have a set caught/dropped percentage.

Still getting kicked back to the start screen after completing a nets session ( a very short one) as the sign in process fails. Why oh why do we have to sign in so many times in a single play session. I'm going back to Dark Souls where I feel more fairly treated.

I'm not sure if this is by design or not but I note that you now need to sign in to BA's servers multiple times rather than just at the start. In career mode, if you complete a match or even just a nets session the game has to sign back in to continue. I noticed this as signing in has been a...

I have only played career mode so far and although I think they've added some nice touches to this, it feels a little unfinished. For instance, if I ask the coach to recommend training...he has only ever sent me to the nets...even as a bowling all-rounder, I've only been sent for batting...

@passwordistaco fantastic interview. Many thanks. Really interesting to hear Mike's responses and I think it sets a good basis for understanding what we are to expect when it releases. I'm certainly looking forward to Career Mode, so thanks for getting Mike to cover aspects of that.

New DLC on its way! DLC

Well I think this is good news for everyone at BA...at least I hope that's the case and they get to benefit from the ambition that they have shown to support sports gaming in areas where other developers and publishers have been unwilling or unable to go. I do hope that cricket remains key to...

There are so many aspects of Cricket 19 (and previous iterations) that can difficult to understand or interpret (e.g. what the sliders do, how to interpret pitch types, how skills and perks work etc.) that people on this forum have been forced to do tests and experiments with to see if they can...

Favourite: Career Mode especially with Pro-Cam for batting and bowling. It is where I have spent most of my time with the game. Least Favourite: Career Mode being pasted on. Most things in Career Mode don't make sense.

For whatever reason I always have Geoffrey Boycott providing commentary in my head ("that were rubbish", "my mother could have hit that with a stick of rhubarb", etc. when I'm bowling or "just add two wickets to the score and suddenly it isn't looking so good", "he's just not moving his feet...

Nice commentary.

Just a hypothesis here, as I have no conclusive data, but based on experience, I think building on the existing platform is probably not the best approach (though, economically, it will be the cheapest and therefore most likely). One of the issues with the current platform is the level of...
