Cricket 24 - General Discussion

[wasteyouryouth]

For those that enjoy playing tests but don’t like having to sink loads of hours into one match, is there a way you’ve found enjoyable? Eg playing first and last innings and simulating the middle? Just interested to see what others do to still make it fun

Could sim the first three innings, give yourself a random scenario in the fourth innings.

Right now, I sim all the way till the 9th wicket while batting and bowl the first 50 overs in bowling, sim the till 9th wicket and bowl again lol!

I think this has been the first iteration that I've preferred batting to bowling, especially in tests

The only way it should be played is the whole game. No taking short cuts.

Looking to get Cricket 24, but heard so many bad things... is it worth purchasing now? with all the patches/bug etc fixed.

It’s the best in the series IMO.

But it’s also a Big Ant game. So… make of that what you will.

I would say it is worth it but I love the game so that could be a biased opinion.

Timing, which I also can't get right. Seems like you need to play the shots slightly before or as soon as the ball leaves bowler's hand.

For some reason, the game decides not to trigger special shots at times. Don't know if they fixed it in the last patch because I uninstalled it.

One increase the actual speed of the ball in the game.

One increases the visual speed; how you perceive the speed of the ball.

My assumption would be that the latter aims to achieve what people want from the former, minus negative gameplay consequences that might result from increasing the speed of the ball.

Tested this more today and mine does the opposite.
If I reduce the pace bowling speed to 10, the ball floats down the wicket like a balloon but the speedometer still says 92mph.
If I turn it up to 70, the ball flies realistically but the speedometer reads more like 96mph.

Paying attention to the speedometer is a waste of time, you can bowl 95mph off cutters.
