Before I report this as a bug, I wanted to ask the folks here if something is wrong on my end. The image below shows my bowling skills page in career mode. Somehow, I have the ability points to unlock things, but those empty spaces don't have a lock on them to unlock using ability points as a result can't use my excess skill points. Please help out!

Are you an all rounder? I think there's a limit to the number of blocks you can open - likewise, that you can assign to players in the academy. I'm not wild about it, but I think it's to do with perks being added.

And your point being?
If you want a The Shoe
The profits go to shareholders, bonuses for billionaire executives and to tax havens (because most major publishers pay very little if any tax). Meanwhile they routinely lay off staff and close down entire studios because the billions they make each year always has to be bettered. So they idea it is reinvested is simply false. Then they do it all again twelve months later.

As for consumers, you might not have to pay, but games are designed to make paying extra the norm. They know most people won't pay so target people that will, regardless of whether those people can afford it (children, people with gambling or shopping addictions). Kids are bullied for having default Fortnite skins. On top of that they make games worse. I think it was Shadow of War that when they removed loot boxes, because of the player outcry, they had to comprehensively overhaul the game because it had been designed to be a massive grind ... unless you paid for loot boxes.

They might be here to stay, or more governments might do what Belgium did and outlaw them. Although the profits will probably go to lobbying lawmakers to prevent that happening.[/QUOT

I'm not a fan of the excesses of capitalism but whatever economic system you have without a likely return on investment there is no investment. I'm afraid the limitations of under capitalisation and inadequate development have been fully exposed with this series.

Yep, Batting All Rounder. I think you're right. Though I'll test it further when I began a new career!

Didn't understand your reply to me, but seeing this post of yours I can see one issue. The thing is Cricket Games are hard to profit off, less countries to market to. Australia and England also have a lot of different sports in the country, and sports gamers have lots to choose from. Subcontinent focuses on cricket, but only a small part buy the game (I hope the Steam regional pricing helps a bit). I think before the game released, Mike Merren mentioned that Indian Market for example was crazy for IPL.

At the end, one thing about capitalism is that competition has to emerge. The whole point of free market, is to have multiple competitors. We are both fortunate and unfortunate that we have BA, as we get a decent cricket game however neither do we have an alternative nor is there any competitor to compete with.

At one point there were signs that Codemasters and BA would compete, but then the former sold the game making to Trickstar I think? And that was the worst game ever according to some.

As a cricket gaming fan, hope someone else rises as well.

Yes it is hard to make money on cricket games but some were reasonable sellers. Brian Lara was quite high in the game charts all those years ago - and the EA series ran for many editions.

In 10 years the middle class in South Asia will be much larger and all their kids will have PS5s and demand cricket games. If one developer could build a cricket game brand (like Fifa or PES) now they will reap big rewards later. But the thing has to be good. BA are part way there but the inadequacies frustrate the knowledgeable player (and just about everyone in the subcontinent knows their cricket...)

Best I've seen is the logo come off one side. No other visable ware

Yes , the same for me on the PS4.

We Play 45 Over Online Test, and the nature of it means we have to Save and Exit every now and again.

Might be that again, like all the ones before it , where the Save and Exit overwrites everything pitch and Ball related.
