Some of these comments are telling. There is absolutely no excuse for some of these problems in the game. Here we are hoping for improvements in the nuances of the gameplay, in pitch and ball deterioration, in conditions and AI improvements etc and it's looking unlikely these have been touched and as well as this we have real basic issues like running between the wickets, fielders running past the ball and bats hitting shots without being attached the batsman.

It's poor, it really is. Very disappointed here.

Well after reading some comments I can only hope the fact that I've not played 19 I'll love the game but if it doesn't top the gameplay of 14 + fearsome tweak then I don't think I'll be impressed

19 gameplay was very solid. This will be similar.

My irritation with it. As even during testing of 19 so many things were identified.. some big some small but haven’t been looked at or changed.

like the ridiculous shots. Or lack of ability to get catches in tests in the ring. Just key things you need in a cricket game

If you took 19 and just tweaked little things we would have a beast on our hands.

it’s all that we needed.

instead we have a reticle back but a cricket game with no close fielder catches…

Yeah, I've bowled 50 odd overs in a test and it's basically a C19 reskin.. There's a few nice bits. I like the improved ball physics and how the spinners fire the ball through, but that's it really. They got my £40 though

@WealeyH when you say ridiculous shots do you mean the pull shots to a yorker, or the T20 shots...I really despise that sort of stuff especially in a test when it just comes out of nowhere.

From what people are saying it feels like they maybe started to develop the game a few months ago mainly focusing on some new animation and the career story mode type stuff or even if they started development few years ago it probably didn't involve much about gameplay.

Again that's just going off what 19 users are saying about gameplay and the same issues being there

Tbh if you're able to hit the ball through the covers, it's a more successful release date then previous iterations...

Also WHY after months of repeating the same thing are some of these shots (which you don’t see in cricket) still in the game. The upper cut to spinners n middle stump is horrific.

Close Fieldes are better than cricket 19

Yes agree… just wish placement was important with the chances of catches. The ball does that thing where it drops just in front!

The silly upper cut shot off the spinner..

let’s not forget if we have a strong base we may see some of the needed stuff worked on.

There's essentially a piece of code that means you can't get AI batsmen out caught in a test unless it's behind or slip. I'm convinced of it.

I’ll do a decent video tomorrow for the test purists!

I could be wrong.. but for 3 games. I have never had the AI caught.. at Mid Off Covers or Point unless it’s a weird edge.

never ever had a basemen drive aerial and be caught.

I'm gonna start streaming from Ps5 in approx 10 minutes. The download is taking hell lot of time though

Instead of adding you being able to pull out of the delivery for spinners, they’ve stopped you being able to pull out of the delivery as a seamer.

Mike Atherton definitely had his lunch nicked the day of recording commentary.

 

[Karachi]

For some reason I am unable to get the old TV style camera back in the game, even though I had when I started playing the game.

My over all review is: bananas with sour grapes. I might return the game.

Literally just came on to say the same thing.

Bowling is slightly different. A new meta to learn.

 

[Crassus]

Looks like I've saved £40/50 then. Very disappointed.
