I don't currently own a switch, but am considering one. Every sunday I take my daughter to Russian language lessions in the next town and I'm sat at a loose end for 3 hours so I was thinking of getting one to kill time. Is cricket 19 worth playing on switch?
Does anyone have c19 on both switch AND ps4? If so, how would the experiences compare?
I have it on both the PS4 and Switch.
The gameplay between the two is identical (aside from the divergence in timings for patch updates). To the point raised above, I haven't noticed any difference in terms of shot placement etc but agree placement on the switch is a little fiddlier due to the analogue stick. The only negative points for me are 1) loading times pre game (c90 seconds), 2) end of session highlights packages load/play glitches and 3) occasional frame rate drops.
The graphics aren't as good as the PS4 but I have been pleasantly surprised by how good they are. In terms of battery life, I'm getting 3-4 hours of continuous play per full charge. I haven't tried online play but I suspect it will be as farcical as the PS4 version.
I don't think there is a big drop off on the Switch vs the PS4 version and hopefully future patches can address some of the above issues. Ultimately, I think its a personal decision on how important the above points are versus having a near identical version of the game available on a handheld device. Personally, I have found that even when I have a chance to play the PS4 version I still end up on the Switch!
If you do end up buying it for the Switch, don't get it via the eShop under the misguided belief that its the only way for you to get a digital only version (a mistake I almost made!). All retailers are digital only for Cricket 19 on the Switch and its considerably cheaper elsewhere.
