I only played it once or twice, and it sucked, so I didn't play it again.
As a result, my expectations for online gameplay are lower.

yeah but im not talking about playing randoms online, I'm playing friends who don't "cheat" we play proper gentlemens cricket lol

@Mohammed Sherry You can see Broad at the start of the video too. 12 seconds in.

Is it Stuart Broad's bowling action at 1:14 in the video.

YEP , So its Anderson , Broad and that Aus female cricketer bowling action in the game so far.

Besides the new bowling animations, Bajo calls out new batting to spin animation system - is he talking about shots being more fluid or m I missing something here?

Only Two Fielder Outside in 19th over

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Yes its static and doesn't move as the bowler runs in.

I think that's the case with cricket 19 nets and normal gameplay.. In nets it's static but gameplay it moves as long as I can remember..

you can change when you start playing

Hopefully there's been an upgrade to the fielding animations and ball physics.

One thing I found odd in past iterations is the catching. Fielders turning around to chase a ball going over them, then to turn around and face the ball to take the catch, almost like they are ahead of the ball the whole time or have somehow beaten the ball.

Irl the ball will always be ahead of the fielder running back to take a catch unless it's a skyer that's gone miles up and the fielder has over ran it so adjusts by turning around. Normally the ball would either be in front or just over the head of the fielder running back so you wouldnt have the time to turn around and face the ball, you'd take the catch running back.

Hope to see boundary fielding, ability to tip toe the boundary, slide and dive.

More dynamic fielding motions, felt like past games animations didn't account for lateral movement. Fielders couldn't throw themselves around and throw off balance.

For example if a batsmen just punches into a gap in the inner circle, the more athletic fielders e.g. Jadeja/maxwell would run back slide pick up the ball, quickly get up, turn around and throw off balance.

Another example would be a in fielder moving to there left to collect the ball, almost in a diving motion after collecting ball simultaneously fall to their left to have a crack at the stumps.

[Gamer Pradosh]

Just wanted to say it always makes me feel good when there's discussion about a game before release..I don't know how the game is gonna turn out but the discussions and speculations before the release is always exciting to see..

Good thing..after 5 overs of commentary he will go and have snacks

 

[SloppyMane]

One thing I noticed was Maxi didn't bowl in his own action, hopefully its just pre-release jitters and not them removing that style. I personally liked his style rather than the generic one.

Other than that lighting seems to be better (reminds me of dbc17) and new additions are always welcome.

I really hope the AI will use their feet against the spinners in 22

Another huge thing that of left not touched leaves a big gap in the gameplay

Love the overlay.. I’m still hoping for a retro TV overlay.. something like the box in the top corner to re live the good old days!
