in a clear way i wanna say Cricket Game Also should be produced in the way that Other Sports games are Produced (Quality + Technically).
Honestly, it's unrealistic to expect Big Ant to meet the standards of an EA or 2K published sports game on the polish and technical detail.

I feel like this comment comes up every three months. Some random guy: "make game like ea does". Yes. Lets pressure Big Ant to answer why their small - medium sized gaming company can't be on the same production level as a multi-country, conglomerate, company/game publisher like EA, that literally has over 1800 staff, which makes $2 billion plus every financial year. The mind just boggles as to why Big Ant don't just make a game like EA.

This is aimed towards the random comments about EA: Plus there is some sort of global pandemic going on at the moment so it might have impacted their work...

Big Ant should add atleast 10-12 types of frontfoot and backfoot defensive shots.
There should be about 30-35 different types of push/deflected strokes.
Advance shot animations needs to be improved.

Next time if you want me to spend my hard earned 4000rs then do make a better game Big Ant.
This one is just mediocre.

Seeing as you value your money highly, as you should, perhaps upon next release watch plenty of gameplay videos on youtube, like gaz weaver etc, and see what the user reviews are like, before buying. Calling this game mediocre is probably too harsh, Ashes Cricket 13 was a mediocre game. Having said that I do believe we should be holding Big Ant to a higher level of standard than previous games, as we're four games into their run with cricket. I agree with more types of shots, varies in terms of skills of players. Just on a basic level I would like to see the launch release not be the final form of the game after two or so years - ie: release the game and make minor adjustments etc, when there are glaring errors, like the runnout throw at the stumps when catching the ball, numerous statistical errors during seasons, player ages not updating in selection (a well know pet peeve of mine lol). Lets have some actual patches of worth and note that fix fundamental issues.

I also believe people saying generic bs statements like "make game like ea would" or "2k level of detail" is a waste of time and constructive feedback, whilst holding a higher standard should be met with merit and consideration from the dev team.

To me, what i would like to see more of, are environmental impacts. As i feel this is what would drive strategy for team selection, bowling strategies , overall match strategy. If this was implemented well, i think maybe it could lend more towards replayability. At the end of the day, even in AAA Titles like Fifa, you will see all animations after playing the game for a while.

What i would like, is similar to the aspects in International Cricket Captain. i.e.:

- Dynamic Weather ( e.g. Its will rain before start of play on Day 2, therefore the outfield will be slow. Thus reducing boundries) - Do you opt to bat if you win the toss?
- Improved Pitch effects ( Pitch looks like it will favour spinners, therefore it could be more beneficial to select a specialist spinner in the XI instead of mainly pace bowlers. Also having more noticiable turn, the longer the match goes on.)
- Form ( Similar to PES?, whereby players have an indicator of form before a match. This could buff or reduce their stats respectively. Do you select your star bowler if he is out of form? )

I don't know, i feel if there was more of a strategy element to the game, it could be a benefit going forwards. However i also realise that this is probably pretty niche, and not for the casual cricket gaming fan.

This. Form is in the game but from what I can gather, there are no indicators as such on a visual level in terms of helping who to pick and drop etc

Although I haven't played Cricket 19, I have seen a lot of gameplay videos. What I believe is that the commentary can be improved a lot. Till date, I found the commentary in AC09 to be a class apart. Not because they had licensed commentatos, but because it felt a whole lot natural, than it does in any BigAnt game till now.

Also to add onto these,

- Clear Player Advantages/Disadvantages (i.e. Weak against Spin, Weak against Pace , Front Foot, Back Foot etc) - I know this is somewhat implemented now, but perhaps if it was more clear? I can imagine this would be a fine line to program. As you dont want to make it too easy to just bowl front foot until the batsman makes a mistake.[DOUBLEPOST=1594247819][/DOUBLEPOST]

Leg side shots to be nerfed. Especially online.
Practically impossible to find a match online without the opponent batting next to off side wide line/marker.[DOUBLEPOST=1594502728][/DOUBLEPOST]And the same with medium pacers. It's too OP at the moment.
