[PaceMaker]

Hi, are we getting a steam release for Cricket 24? Did not find it mentioned anywhere in the articles I have read.

Thanks and that's a relief. I thought they might have bailed on steam but this is promising. It might be a day-one release similar to AFL 23.

Nobody reads the OP , so I'm sure it will be asked again and again.

then add this too.

I would have preferred to wait for more news. We still don't know what the "Indian connection" is at the moment.

Ross has indirectly confirmed their presence in the game in the other thread. I'd still wait for more solid statements though.

Around 5 content creators have already done that. I don’t want to sound repetitive.

Got interested. Read "Pro Teams" mode. Wasn't interested any more. For me, Cricket 22 with refinement could be great. Adding new modes to also perfect and diverting resource away from those key refinements is only going to hurt the end product. Just look at the career mode from 22.

I mean, I get it, Pro Team modes make cash. Microtransactions. Who's gonna turn that down in this day and age? It's an established, accepted model that consumers are fine with. Just for context:

In the fiscal year 2022 (March 2021 to April 2022), gaming publisher Electronic Arts generated approximately 3.91 billion U.S. dollars in revenues from extra content sales with almost half of it being associated with the company's sports games Ultimate Team mode as well as extra content for the Apex Legends franchise.

The only thing that will get me to bite on this new game isn't game modes or new licences for teams, players, stadiums etc, it's the pitch. The pitch is the single most important aspect in cricket, longer formats anyway. It's why teams can play each other five times in a row and get five different outcomes. It's why home advantage is so strong, and why teams winning series away from home is so impressive. Each part of the world has recognised characteristics, and a look and feel, that makes it special and unique, and their teams and players feel special and unique. If Big Ant can finally capture that, I'll probably be unable to resist.

Guess we'll find out. Good luck to 'em, tho.

It also worries me sometimes when the marketing flaunts " new cut scenes" it made me nervous last year when the biggest selling point was accessibility.

Gameplay is so huge to cricket. Cut scenes get dull after an hour.

I don't think I ever played anything other than quick matches on Cricket 22. Didn't need different game modes (though admittedly it seems career was janky anyway). I just wanted good cricket. Good cricket with some context to why I was playing. Series, stats, depth. That's it.

As a south Londoner, I really hope the Oval is updated to include the new Galadari stand

With how good the academy creations are for teams, Im ok with teams not being licences but the Big Ant stadiums are generally fantastic

 

[The Fridge's Leg-Spin]

More licensed teams can be either a good or bad thing. Only thing that would make it better is to get rid of the bald playfaces and allow the overwrites of the not so good looking licensed players with the really good playfaced ones from the academy.
