    Cricket 24 - General Discussion

    my biggest nitpick with keepers is when you bowl with a spinner, and the AI batsman leaves it, the keeper already knows and will often take the delivery not merely in front of the stumps, but in front of the batsman. bizarre

    Little to no turn, but I was using default everyone and bowling with John Emburey and Nick Cook, so I wasn’t expecting a lot. AI span it a bit though.

    I mean I will caveat it by saying I’ve played 1 full match and a few mini-sessions. The problem is the sound means the immersion is zero, and the frustrations are ones you’ve seen so many times before… and with an identical hud to c22 it’s really “seen it all before” except for the constant...

    immersion in the 2 BDC games was great. in dbc14 it only really works on PC with franco's mod, otherwise the lack of modding options and AI edges is a big negative. dbc 17 started great, but they made it worse by patching - including removing the possibility of getting the AI out bowled. Ashes...

    you reckon they had "you're simply the best" playing on a loop in the dev office as a motivational tool?

    Cricket 24 - General Discussion

    Aside from fielder responsiveness, what are the gameplay improvements people would be asking for? From the player actions perspective, most of what I've wanted seem to be there at the moment: it does feel as though the skill of the player I'm controlling (batting or bowling) does make a...

    I watched some of my early DBC17 videos earlier. That was a game destroyed by the patches - they patched out the ability to get the AI bowled, and patched in endless bat pads via a smash into the foot. Gameplay wise, I don’t think there’s any upgrades. The outplay catching mechanism where you...

    Edged it between the massive gap from 1st to 4th slip… keeper caught it at something like 2nd and half slip - go figure.

    I’m gonna throw another positive out there, to keep everyone on their toes. I think it’s swinging more in the cloudy conditions that it did in the sun.

    From what I can see on this forum and social media, ps5 and steam are very different beasts

    The visuals of a dry/grassy pitch are identical to a dry/dusty pitch. Not a pixel different. The sloppiness is shocking.

    One plus - it’s cloudy and I see cloud. Negative - cloudy, grassy pitch, English spring: AI wins the toss and chooses to bat. Regression - when I messed around before, in cold weather the teams wore vests. Not now. Patch improvement: can just about hear the batsmen call yeah for a run now...

    Build is 1 later than that advertised in the tweet. It did fail approval - lol.

    they'd improve the game massively if they pretended the "cricket 24" stingers on replays was a much-trailed feature like scenario mode and pro team, and disappeared them completely.
