Been a bit too long for me to get a refund on PS4, so I'll keep playing it here and there and see what future patches do, think there has been 4-5 since launch and not a great deal has changed.
Perhaps it’s been stability fixes mainly ?

I think the first 3 listed that, the one from yesterday didn't. It was just new powerups, but they hadn't been finished, seemed like they were rushed into a patch as well.

Bizarre first month really.

Purchased it on steam to try it within their refund policy (less than 2 hours, 14 days). Agree with the general opinion here, very low quality game. Ashes cricket is 14-15 CAD and this is 57 CAD. LOL.

Its hard to understand what they are trying to do with this game. There are fun multiplayer games (mario kart etc on the switch) and it seems like this was the market they were aiming for, but the fun aspects aren't exactly fun. Celebrations get irritating pretty quickly. Power-ups can be random. There are bugs with running, overthrows (or lack thereof), spinners turning the ball a mile, etc. No game modes to speak of. To sell this game, IMO they would need to significantly cut the price (< 20 CAD) and give more settings (for instance, celebrations and power-ups could be toggle-able). I don't see them adding new modes or enough content to justify the price.

This coming from someone who got DBC 14, 17 and Ashes on day 1 and enjoyed all three. There were bugs, sure, but they were the only company making cricket games and giving it an honest shot, and the games (even with the bugs) were good enough to enjoy and get your money's worth. This is just a cash grab and BA should be ashamed of putting their name next to it.

i think the fixed camera option for batting just like they added to ashes cricket would be nice.

next patch they should make AI simulated scores a challenge for us to chase down. like 90 in 3 overs etc.

Unsure if it's happened before to me, but earlier today mistimed one to short fine leg, ran one and next thing I know, commentator says "Nice dot ball there" and find the batsmen back on strike and no run given...

i notice that when playing on higher difficulty the aggresive shot is harder to pierce the field but the lofted shot is easy on all dificulty levels. if they can balance this shot in next patch and increase AI simulated scores we have a fun challenging game.
