Cricket 22 General Discussion thread (Use bug report thread for issues/bugs/crashes | Patch notes in first post)

The career mode remains a sad shell of what it once was in previous iterations, with many aspects still just not functioning at all or it's seriously bugged.

If you're a specialist batsman & you try to change one of your existing batting perks, are you given the option of choosing a different batting perk or perhaps even a fielding perk to change to instead? (No, those would actually be the obvious & sensible options for a specialist batter.).

What perks are you offered as a specialist batsmen if you attempt a perk change instead? Bowling perks ONLY, that are absolutely useless to a career/specialist batter.

If you fall into this trap of utter ridiculousness as with many other of BA's exasperating bugs, can you then revert back to the original batting perk you had as a specialist batter? Also NO, the only perks that are then available from then on for a specialist batter are bowling perks only & your career is then screwed with useless or unassigned perks, & will ultimately require deletion & a complete start over to correct.

If you begin a new career for example,, you can't even simply choose your top 3 favoured fielding positions either, i.e....

1. Slips
2. Cover/midwicket
3. Point/square leg

Nope, this too has also been broken SINCE RELEASE. Instead, you can only choose the slips as option 3, & options 1 & 2 must be cover/midwicket or point/square leg if you want to be an in-fieldet.

The career mode remains absolutely riddled with basic neglected detritus as per these examples that have never been fixed or received any attention whatsoever. (And yes, they have been raised before.)

Generic bowling markers STILL haven't been fixed on Xbox yet PS was fixed months ago. (The pitch marker is generic but the marker around the bowlers hand still has the length colouring which makes setting a generic option a complete waste of time.) Exactly how much code manipulation does it take to set a variable for a marker to ignore the usual length colours & only use a generic black or white instead? (NOT MUCH!!!)

They can't even fix the career menu music that was broken 3-4 weeks in for goodness sake LOL! It still sounds like we're listening to the menu music in a career from 6 feet underwater!!!

We're nearly at the year mark & still this is the state of affairs?

Nobody knows what 'General stability improvement' that are given in every patch notes, exactly means. Guess, it is some fix to crashing or connection error but surely not something related to actual gameplay.

The only thing you can be 100% certain of there is that it doesn't apply to the CEO's demeanour when interacting with other Twitter users ;)!!
 
Not being able to reload saved multi player games needs to be fixed asap.
So we have done some work on this to make this easier to follow in a more in-depth walkthrough to help with these situations. There are notifications in-game but there's no harm in adding more context to help with this change when it comes to the cross-platform update we did.


This will go over how to resume and progress with the save resuming when it comes to how the system works now.

This is pretty accurate. Just some small things we will update or make small changes on to improve certain situations in the game.

They should probably change their name from "Big Ant Studios" to "Big Mouth Studios"

Can small things like player looking the wrong way while throwing back at stumps and catching be fixed in the next patch. Small things like these really ruined the gameplay experience after the latest patch. Requesting Big Ant to please take a note.

Will weather conditions ever be patched to the game?

I recently got into playing again and it’s disappointing to see the contorted throws come into the game. I also had a player spend the entire drinks break with his head almost turned backwards!

Those things are a shame because after getting very frustrated with this game (Unlike the previous ones), I find some of the batting shots so satisfying (Though the threat of edging it is still a little low) and the thrill of wicket taking, particularly bowleds, as good as previous games.

Welcome to the game of the century Cricket 22. Even after a year and multiple patches Big Ant can’t fix small things like heads turn in wrong way, poor stumping and fielding. Fielding mechanics are broken and we can only hope for a fix now.
 
At this point I just hope the basics of the game to be patched at least for God sake.

1. Bowler not jogging to pick the ball on the pitch the batsmen is running.

2. Fielders bending their knee when it is absolutely not required giving extra runs.

3. Lob throws from mid on and off when there is a clear run out chance for run out with a direct hit.

4. The close in fielders are supermen for God sake..they should dodge when a well timed shot is hit at them not flying to catch them. There are some special kinds of retards who play this game only to exploit the superhuman catching by close fielders.

5. Some of the batting shots during the time of release is not available, get it reinstated.

6. Reduce the power, it's boring to see sixes going 130 meters everytime.
 
I play custom matches and notice this happening quite a lot and has done for some time. Like you say, happens when i need 1 run to win, but the display still says i need 2.
They worked how long on a 33mb patch? Still they don't pick up silly mistakes like this because they don't test their patches.
 
The camera and fielding in this game makes it feel like we are still in the PS2 era.
Nothing is going to improve unless another Company starts making Cricket games.
