After seeing all the negativity about the game i almost cancelled my pre order, but then i thought i have bought every game since DBC 14 and i still appreciate that someone makes cricket games for consoles. I was pleasantly surprised as i liked the gameplay and it did feel improved (even if it is not a major upgrade.)
The player models yes do look the same as Cricket 22 but i feel if we can get all the licensed players and teams as promised then it will
be an excellent game and the future games will be alot better for sure. Only things bothering me are the same terrible crowd sounds from Cricket 22, i was really hoping to play a test match with the authentic crowd sounds we hear while watching on tv (especially here in England.)
The fact that all the licensed teams do not have the real player faces which is a huge thing for me as i will not feel like picking them teams until they are fixed and that could take some time which makes me wonder what the point is of buying the game so early if there is so many things still missing.
Here in the Uk the game does not have the latest patch as non of the IPL team players are licensed in the version i have updated to on PS5.I have seen videos on Youtube which show they have been patched. I hope it is done soon so maybe i can start with IPL teams.
