Long sleeve fast bowling by someone look like anderson face not body/four card after boundary reminded me 2013 Mike Fegan's cricket..Looks downgrade of cricket 19..Thank god for pre order cancellation sony.That crowd animation sucks.
we came close to a perfect game in 2019 now gone PS3 era graphics on PS5 and worst bowling animations.That bowling action with long sleeves from Anderson reminds me of 2013 Mike Fegan's cricket bowling action..did Big Ant recruit Mike Fegan for this development?
I was the one to preorder one of the first PS5 user and now I will wait.This is what happens when you start development of game in April(Mike merren said) and release in November.

Lighting is excellent this time and way better than cricket 19. Replays are also nice. We can enjoy the game on hard mode onwards

Anyone saying it's a downgrade is actually blind and delusional. Some of the opinions here are completely detached from reality. The game looks like an overall improvement graphically and clearly they have improved the package with a more detailed career mode. I often wonder if people even had any intentions of buying this game in the first place or simply just had completely unrealistic expectations? way too quick to complain about absolute nonsense.

To be honest I will never go off a video from a company whose business is reviewing game. I have pre-ordered but would have also waited for some actual video from actual game post the Day 1 patch.

Shotgun doing what IGN are doing for when the next cricket game comes out, cheers

 

[chintoo02018]

You have to be taking the p155. The bowling actions are an added feature which I think many will appreciate. The actions are just slowed down so the ball isn't bowled too fast/doesn't look too unnatural.

In terms of graphics you must've watched the video in 144p; I think the game looks as good as ever.

I can also confirm in my past discussions with Ross, this game has been in development much longer than April this year.

Rather making conclusion about Cricket22, I would say is IGN does not know how to play a game ! Conclusion from that video is IGN guys was making fun of cricket. Playing Test cricket on easy mode and that too 5 overs game says whole the mindset of IGN people. If it was Fifa they would have played it completely different way.
- They did now even show proper cut scenes
- They did not reveal any in-game audios.
- Just when i got a chance to hear commentary from Mike Atherton they just muted it and started shouting
- Did not show various camera angles.

Big mistake by bigant to reveal the gameplay via IGN !

I notice that replays still often start half-way through the shot...

Most of best looking games fail terribly after the release and we have lots of examples for that... Yes graphics looks and feels downgraded, but I am more in to gameplay... If that is good, I am more than happy... I don't want best looking game which only excite you month or so...

Yeh, a little unfortunate that it's still happening. Kinda ruins the replay watching.

are you sure?..why not both.

I still can't figure out how the gameplay and AI would play due to IGN playing it on Easy Mode. It feels tweaked though and I hope that's the case since that's where Cricket 19 had minor YET annoying issues. Career Mode is amazing and looks immersive but only time will tell whether it will start feeling repetitive or not. The Cameras, Overlays and UI look nice and they have a lot of variety which is awesome. One thing I will say is that Graphics aren't very "next-gen" [Pls don't bring the pitchforks towards me and assume I am one of those kind of people who consider graphics over gameplay. Gameplay is of utmost importance for me but I just want to point this out so that they could use this feedback to improve.] It is indeed not very promising for a PS5 game. BUT it works! The Lighting and Visuals look stunning though! As of now, just waiting for a "Proper" Gameplay of the game.

After watching vdo, no doubt game is overall improved & its too early to judge anything at moment instead saying thanks to keep us busy during weekend via this vdo.

Better to wait day1 patch and hands on own experience before making any comments.

Just one thing BA must add option to turn on/off NEW RUNOUT MECHANISM because it might be boring for longer games like in complete test match.

 

[passwordistaco]

Initial impressions, really like the camera once the ball has been hit, scoreboard overlay is very nice. Direct slo mo looks good as. Stuart Broad's action is...interesting. I know it's not had the day1 patch applied but promising signs.
