You are going to have to make some compromises no doubt in terms of visuals although it looks less cartoony than later titles in my opinion. Grass and pitch miles ahead of the dead back of playing card mess we have now. The sound is superb. Absolutely nailed it there and the customization depth is excellent in terms of players and competition designs and such things. Playing a little club cricket game at the Bradman Oval is great, really nice way to get a cricket gaming fix.

If i remember correctly.. still didn't get the ball on bat sound did they? I have never thought any game has.
Personally I think its better than it has been after: it sounds like something with weight and speed being met by a sturdy piece of wood rather than someone gently swishing my left bollock with a rather old stick of celery which we now have. (What I do on a Saturday night is my own business.)

Don’t really mind the visual side of things… it’s the gameplay feeling dated that I worry about. The variations in the AI bowling, in the way it bats and responds to you… how scripted is the run-rate… things like that.
Not wishing to hijack this thread away from its purpose to tell each other excitedly about our latest joy with Cricket 24.....oh wait.....
I think it has a solid gameplay. It has issues and it needs Francos tweak to make bowling interesting. Batting wise I really have to do my best and milestones are a joyous victory. It doesnt have the sliders of later games so you are stuck with some things. Spin is not overpowered and the pitch will do something.

I really thought that would be the one. Is it too much from cricket fans to ask for one decent Football Manager/FIFA equivalent? No one is asking for the perfect game, just something you can immerse yourself in and developers that put in the effort and act like they care. I’m sure Oli is releasing the new Cricket Coach soon that will solve all our problems

Something like OOTP for cricket would be utterly amazing.
With much regret i have decided to sell my copy of Cricket 24. Won’t get the full
amount back but trade in prices are still good as the game is new. I tried my best, but i could
not justify the price i paid for a broken game. The fact that the improvements are so minimal from the last game was also a key factor. I appreciate the licensing in the game but even that is not fully done and will be fixed over the next few months. I also feel the 5 month delay was unnecessary because the game is the same now as it would have been then, They released it now to coincide with the world cup to
boost sales. The amount of bugs are unbelievable considering this game release every 2 years ( and the fact that it is pretty much a copy and paste! ) I may buy it again in a few months hoping the bugs will
be fixed and they will have the licenses they promised, the game will also cost half the price i paid now.
