Does patch take effect on existing tour matches or best to restart the tour ? The reason I ask is I got 2 don’s batting at 10 and 11 facing over 200 and 100 balls .

Is green hard wicket any good as it seems ball is not doing much at all ?

Loving the game now it has everything for me.

@MattW........... you certainly did the trick passing my thoughts on to MikeyMerren, as now the ball physics off the bat include some subtle sidespin a lot of the time and sometimes some full sidespin, its getting there!

All the random but genuinely realistic touches, and animations, in the game, all of them that react to the ball physics, are incredible to watch..........................I watch a lot of CPU vs CPU matches and in 8K resolution, full graphics effects on (yes I'm lucky to own an RTX 3090), the game especially in Test matches in the glaring sunshine with all RTX shadow effects enabled, is simply stunning.

Hats off to BigAnt!

Just loaded up a 50 over tournament and started as England. First time playing with the latest patch.

I must say I'm impressed with what I have seen so far. Bowled 17 overs and have South Africa 60/3. If anything the AI run rate has been a bit slow, loads of leaves and blocks. There has been a few play and misses and some edges both inside and outside not going to hand. Wickets have been caught out on the boundary off a slog, caught wicketkeeper off the quick bowler and caught by a diving slip off the spinner.

Some lovely animations in the fielding too.

That suggests v4 may still be pretty easy to do with the odd change here and there. Good to know!

Are you using default teams or have you reskilled anyone? Currently trying to work out if that step is still needed, though I'm thinking not.

Using default teams

I'd need to know more about your platform - if on PC then your full system specs and graphics settings.

I am on xbox1x and issue is with both tv either 4k or FHD, its there since day1 where as all previous games like c19 or ashes work perfectly as they supported 4k hdr with xbox1x.

Moreover issue is more prominent in afternoon match time or full sunny conditions.

Matt, I've been on Xbox Series X for some weeks now which doesn't exhibit this issue. However, I was previously using an Xbox One X for C22 & since release my Xbox One X also displayed the same random graphical glitching/boxes all over the display.

(4K TV via an AVR with 100% proven HDMI cables & spare proven HDMI cables also tested. Additionally, this issue was present when tested with a direct connection to the TV as well with the Xbox tested in 4K mode & 1080p. Still this random graphical boxing would persist.)

Still seeing lots of over the top smashes in long form cricket. Admittedly there are more blocks and more leaves but the back foot smash over cover is still, frustratingly, there. This is when batsmen are set, at the start of their innings they look for singles and are quite watchful but when in, they seem to default to the over the top nonsense shots.

In career, using Rumple's V3 with RR moved back to default.

@Mouseydread @wasteyouryouth either of you boys done any 99 early 0’s teams?

Mousey Australian one is superb but can’t search the academy at the moment so didn’t know if anything else was out there!

I've got some Aussie teams on the Academy from 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s and some individual great Aussie Teams

@MattW ,

Just had another instance of our mystery duplicate player. Luckily enough, managed to get a replay with the doppelganger standing at mid off while the original was bowling again.

Xbox ID:. Arctic Wolf 611

This is not one of the typical generic AI players, this guy was either play face'd or specifically created right down to his one off spikes, he's completely unique. I remember seeing this character/avatar on release day too, so it's not something that's been introduced via downloaded teams etc., it's definitely in the game by default & was at release whether intentional or not.

There's at least one more too... Same guy that wore the mirror shades in the BA scenarios in C19 also seems to have been added to C22 as a club player as well. (That one's usually a batsman so harder to remember to look out for but if I see it again I'll let you know.). Anyway, here's the pics ....


One bowling & one at mid off.


Unique face & Kit.




Scorecard. (Player name is "Dawson Wilson".) There's only one instance of him in the team. Yet, there's definitely two of him on the field so someone obviously gets left out too.

Definitely last 2 patches were the best till date for game... Especially the latest one has took it leap ahead in terms of gameplay.. Now the AI is taking test matches seriously...i must say i m pretty much satisfied with the gameplay for now.... Square cut shot needs some more refinement with unorthodox lofted shots ion all directions.... Other things can be improved now one by one from here without creating new bug or going backwards from here.

Now first time asking for a fan thing.. I've always kept cosmetic changes in sports game secondary and more inclined towards the core gameplay perfection .... But pls.. If possible.....add Sachin Tendulkar batting style and shots in game.. Like his straight drive, square cut, cover drive and leg glance...i hope i m not asking too much

*I need to check I have to exact same build as you guys!

OK so after reading @karolkarol and @Ken Tremendous posts about hitting over the top in tests etc I fired up and bowled another Day.

This time Australia v NZ
All default skill
Default settings

Starc unplayable but New Zealand fight!

• I had 2 aerial shots, both against Lyon both legit once Southee was in and on green, plus hes attacking mentality.
• Conway and Nicholls grinded left and blocked and nudged their way out of a real hole!
• Red Confidence really means batsmen are vulnerable now.
• Run rate was 2-2.7 throughout the innings.
• Plenty of maidens and absolutely no pattern to when boundaries would come. Infact there wasnt a boundary for the first 12 overs and they were in a hole
• Potentialy my first sign of a lower batsmen scoring some runs (Southee can bat) but normally i dont have that issue when i re skill the players

[karolkarol]

@WealeyH I'm not playing tests, I'm playing 4 day county matches in career, bowling left arm over. The backfoot lofted drive over extra cover and the aerial whip off middle are the main two I'm seeing. I will caveat this by saying that everything else, % of balls left, variety of wickets, AI quick singles and fielding is much improved in the latest patch, it just feels like if the AI attacks my bowling they automatically go aerial like it's a T20.

Yeah so reason why I say I need to check if your on exact same build is there was a build on the Monday I played that resembles everything you say and I was getting a few random smashes.

Then a build on the Tuesday where I haven’t seen one in 300 odd overs.

So it could be potentially that I’m just a testing build ahead. If not.. not sure what to say haha.

@Rumple43

Looks perfect that exactly how it should be. When you say default settings what difficulty do you use ? Got my first test since patch tonight in my career and want to get it right going to set run rate back to default just wondering if you think anything else needs to ? Cheers

It could be that four day matches are balanced differently.

Default run rate yeah! Wicket chance may of been 45 which is actually higher than I normally have it at for an Aussie deck.
