Add more features in pro mode batting camera. Currently full and yorker lengths deliveries aren’t visible hence can’t place foot to play valid shot. Also please include pro mode bowling camera.

Pretty vague, what exactly are you saying with "add more features" as you don't give any suggestions.

I meant to say increase batters vision all the way to his/her feet in pro mode camera. Probably thats not a feature just an improvement but big one for pro mode (camera) players. Recently I played cricket 19 and found the screen too dim so allow to brighten the screen, brightness of my pc was full. Currently i am playing ashes cricket 18 and its brightness is perfect.

I personally feel they need to reduce the jagged camera movements and smooth them out. The few times I've tried, I just can't tell what's going on lol.

Yeah if you sign for a county and IPL it doubles up. So for argument sake, there's a county game 15-18 July. The game will finish and then in the calendar, after the county game, on the 18th is an IPL match that you then play.
I guess what would help is if that didn't happen.

If the calendar year was broken into 12 monthly blocks where you 'unlock' each block depending on your reputation (which could be form/overall record/achievements (e.g. being a part of title winning sides, man of the match performances). Each block containing a tournament of a certain standard.

Say a country has a six-month block for it's domestic season, your career in England would look like this:
Screenshot 2021-05-20 at 10.59.21.png
Then your future pathways could open up like this:Screenshot 2021-05-20 at 11.21.27.png

Blue - an overseas domestic contract (although does any country really have overseas players other than England?)
Green - a low-level franchise tournament. For players who have had moderate success but their reputation is still low.
Bronzey/orangey - franchise tournaments where your reputation would be a littler higher or you have done well at green level
Silver - a very good reputation, this might be for when you've broken into the international side or excelled in a bronze level league
Gold level - IPL is the top tier tournament. Same as above; excelling at silver level or international. Starting as an Indian player would mean you access this quicker but still need to improve your reputation to become a regular in the team.

So as an English player:
You play the domestic season April - September (a good T20 Blast could mean an 100 deal instead of playing the one day cup).
You do poorly - you get no 'Southern season' offers
You do OK - you might get an overseas domestic contract for the Southern season or a Shpageeza Cricket League deal for the October block.
You do quite good - you might get an Mzsansi Super League (if that still exists) deal which covers two blocks/months.
You do REALLY well - you might get the BBL deal or PSL deal.

Then it follows on - SCL could open up BBL/BPL
MSL - could lead to BBL then PSL and so on

To expand the calander, in the Northern Season, I added in a few more tournaments that aren't in Cricket 19 and removed Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as domestic leagues. I've added their T20 franchises instead (when I get people asking me to make teams, I get loads for these and the Global T20 and T10 league - don't think anyone has ever asked about SL/Ban domestic).

An option to add an extra domestic league (to the starting 7) that has a basic 4-6 teams (e.g. North, South, East, West, Central) - this could be for any test nation (meaning bringing back the option Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland career paths) - would be good.

You'd of course need to add in international blocks (and slots for ICC tournaments too). Adding 'Central Contracts' would good. And present another level of achievement. Could mean you can be more selective or have some benefits. E.g. an English domestic player that takes an IPL deal might receive a slight hit to their reputation for test cricket selection (because they are missing two months of the county championship) but if you have a central contract you wouldn't get that negative penalty.

It could also have scope to allow you to be a T20 mercenary and just follow that part of the calendar. You could, in theory, end up playing IPL, T20 Blast, LPL, CPL, MSL, BBL, PSL and no one day for first class cricket.

Crickey. This is the most detailed reply I've ever seen lol. But I really like the chart there and the reputation coming into it.

One thing I've noticed the last few years in Sheffield shield is quite a few lesser known sub continent players playing, in particular Afghanistan players.

One thing should override or determine what tournaments are offered is what kind of player you want to be. A 20/20 specialist wouldn't really get offered county cricket, so you would be on the fringes of the 1st XI but can be released to play IPL if selected for it, as you said a T20 mercenary. (An ability to change what you want to be during career mode would be neat, as that would obviously penalise your immediate contracts for shorter form tournaments if you want to get better at the longer form.) It would be nice as I'm sure there are quite a few people who just want to play 20/20 matches.

I'd had some thoughts on it in the past and my Pfizer jab has given my brain a boost.

I'd want to see reputation being something that fluctuates, the higher it gets (if you're a Steve Smith) you get more offers and more chance to fail, but if you've just got your first IPL and you do poorly there's a chance you might be ignored next season. Perhaps at the start of the season you outline your goals and are told what you need to achieve.

Maybe in terms of runs, average and strike rates (even number of sixes), e.g.

Green 'unlock: Top 10 in two categories
Bronze: Top 5 in at least one, Top 10 in two

I've thought that having a T20 only career mode would be a good option. But if a system could be worked out to allow you to do that within career mode it'd be better, particularly if it allows you to pivot to become a multi format player or just go from T20i to ODI sides (which seems the more likely pathway, certainly for England, India and Australia).

Having the option to opt out of formats would be good, I'd say as a younger player that should carry some risk. Maybe your team would be more keen to release a player if they are only interested in T20 and fail to deliver.

I would like to see a management career implemented where you take control of a side and manage and train the squad having to deal with international call ups, injuries, fatigue and a lot of other parameters. Key would be contract negotiation and training and also bringing youth players through. Not sure how in-depth it can be made but possibly decisions on the playing surface and squad rotation. I play FIFA and are bored of the interview system but I can see how this can effect player morale maybe a morale system be implemented but more stats and mile stones for your side maybe a franchise creation into one of the already established tournaments, bordering on a mercenary style management existence?

i have few things for suggestion
1. career mode should me more realistic in terms of AI intelligence like if we play with strong team like top 4 -5 teams and while we r touring and defeat them in starting , they automatically change their behavior like next match they tried full effort to win match and also in 3 test series or 5 test series like both teams 1-1 or 2-2 thn final match should be more difficult for both team..
2. Also if some player is in good form made a century in match his confidence level automatically increased and will be difficult to out for remaining matches..
3. Opponent AI should more intelligent. like in real world scenario play mind games in field.
4. and after defeating good team at there home backyard and next time we face again at there home or they come to our home country they r well prepared with plan.. means they play with sort of revenge with full dedication to beat us..

5 .Career level difficulty automatically changed as we progress like in arcade game.. also included coaches for different category fielding coach, bowling coach and batting coach.. also got notification if opponent team changes captain or coaches.. like important notification option should be placed so we got to know what is going on internationally.. coach also have impact on team.. also option of sacking coach :P

i hope u all got my points what i m trying to say..

p.s - sorry my english is very bad..
