I must be playing on something different because I’m having an overall positive experience.
In regards to the academy I now have wastes India version all complete I just need to give the players real bats.
Oddly I downloaded wastes Pakistan side , uniforms are all good but the players are generic and come up with the licence symbol on them. Tried multiple times, even if you download a player like Babar separately on the academy he looks realistic and you download that version but as soon as you go to edit players or even go into a game he has reverted back to being bald , beard and generic face.
South Africa download has worked fine also so it’s got to be related to licensing which is going to be extremely annoying if you can’t use any academy downloads of any teams / players that are licensed.
Still can’t apply bats to players either.
I will submit as a ticket also but just stating that so far my only issues with the game have been via the academy.
Playing wise I’ve managed to play a few 20/20s now and some of test match and I’ve gotta say personally I feel like the AI is a lot better, it feels more like real cricket with the way in which they have approached the innings and I’ve noticed that players will actually play to their strengths.
