Cricket 24 - General Discussion

A wild guess but maybe after the new law passed yesterday thereby granting financial support to gaming industries, BA might now be able to spend more on licences and hence try to lay hands on licences of as many countries as possible, especially those who are participating in upcoming wc... nevertheless after recent announcement 5 major cricket playing nations remain to be licenced..i.e. India, SA, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka, however most of the players from these countries would already be licenced since they play either in IPL or PSL...
 
So now it's delayed until October, how do I start the Ashes with all the Pre match anthems etc etc but it being played in England..?
 
So complete "overhaul" of fielding system announcement is what scares me. Ominously similar to C22. Not too hyped about license if in the end, we'll play with a "licensed" white skin Wanindu Hasaranga. 

Looking forward to lead my country to win a WC atleast though. Because Rohit and co... Tumse na ho payega (not your cup of tea)

i remember the same script being presented during the launch of cricket 22, now being altered with few changes for cricket 24. Thats it !

From the Cricket 22 Press Release:

"All-new bowling and fielding controls; whether it’s a feisty fast bouncer, or the satisfying “snap” as you hurl the ball from the infield for a precision run-out, Cricket 22 features refined, tight controls that enable you to play your best game of cricket."

From the Cricket 24 Press Release:

"All new fielding; A complete overhaul of the fielding systems to provide the most realistic and responsive fielding controls ever seen in a cricket video game."

Imagine creating "refined, tight controls that enable you to play your best game of cricket", then overhauling them just 2 years later....

Also,

Cricket 22:

"A deep, narrative-driven career mode; you are in control on and off the field. You manage your training and press conferences, deal with injuries, and decide your path towards international glory!"

Cricket 24:

"Career Mode; Follow the journey of your player from club cricketer all the way to the international stage, developing your skills and growing your fan base as you hone your craft to become the next big thing in cricket. Cricket 24 gives you more control in determining your destiny, becoming a short-form hero, focusing on the Test team, or trying to balance both on your way to cricketing stardom."

Apparently, according to both, we are "in control". I'm unsure anyone who played the 22 career felt like they were in control of anything, so it'll be interesting to see what 24 brings.

Also also....

Pro teams completely omitted from the bullet point headlines of the latest press release. This was from April:

"Pro Team; Collect player cards and build your cricket dream team. Take on weekly challenges in single player game play, or go online against the world. Join with your friends to compete at teambuilding in The Auction mode."

And now it's not even mentioned. That's a pretty sizable red flag to me, especially if you combine it by saying you need more time for getting the licenced teams and players right (which I don't believe either, but that's just me).

I am happy about Pro Team though, as it's a mode I have zero interest in.

To the folk who also keep mentioning the new laws and more money = a better game, I don't have enough time in the day to list all the big budget games that prove this one completely and utterly false. I'd say solid planning and realistic resource management probably make for better games. Solid planning (knocking release dates back) and resource management (removing previously promoted features) aren't filling me with hope here.

That came across as far too negative, which wasn't my intention, but I don't think I want to read it back and edit it now haha Just pointing out things that had occurred to me.

Cya in 3 months.

You beat me to it. I was too busy rambling about loads of other stuff instead :grinopen:
 
There was one feature which I had been hoping would make an entry since DBC14 - Ability to bowl a beamer (at least in Career mode to rule out abuse in online play). I don't think it ever made the cut till date.
 
When they announced the game in April 2023 i thought they need to get a move on as the first date was 16th June seemed not there far off, the lack of communication i found the most frustrating thing, although disappointing in one sense about the delay at least we know the release date now and hopefully we might get a better though not perfect game now

Licences are great and all, but I look forward to the meltdown here when we have Bald Babar Azam in the game.

I guess it could be released in a week but half the new licenses look like Ireland and New Zealand on the last game.

By the time the game launches, NZ will have new sponsors on their kits. Y'know, maybe it's a great thing that BAS don't pursue licenses for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka given how they keep changing their kits every week. Big Ant wouldn't be able to cope.

They'd have to patch the game every week with new kits if they ever get Sri Lanka or Afghanistan. Bangladesh have been somewhat restrained in the last six months.
