My fingers are crossed for Cricket 22. I am most interested in the gameplay specially the batting animations and the fun of playing a cricket game. Being a veteran cricket games fan, Brian Lara Cricket 1999 is the best one among all till date. I tried hard to fall in love with Cricket 19 with all its improved graphics, career mode, creators stuff and all but if the actual gameplay is not entertaining and give you a real match atmosphere then its of no use I am afraid. Cricket 19 was a disappointment for me.
I believe Big Ant missed the mark of giving a real match atmosphere and a hotness of a cricket game by removing the ball marker, that made the game too hard to play, moreover the variety of crowd reactions were missing and a major drawback was lack of Play by Play commentary.
So far from Cricket 22 footage, I can see that there is an improvement in the commentary and I heard that the classic ball marker is back, so let's see, can't wait.
