Cricket 24 - General Discussion

Oh dear. They’ve released 0.2.2056 on ps5 and it’s terrible.

Hit to the fielder and set off.

Shambles.

Rinse and effing repeat. Rinse and effing repeat. Sick of this wash program from the last SEVEN years!

It’s bad enough when they push one out to steam, but to see it so bad in steam, pause the console roll-out and then 2 days later go “ah, may as well” is disgraceful.

That is so true! They knew this was a downgrade, they knew it and still released it.

Odd!!

 

[blockerdave]

Also seeing the thing where the AI hits the ball into the ground and it flies to the ring fielders… not seen that in c24 before so I’m gonna assume they’ve patched out infield catches too because that one was a c19 special

 

[blockerdave]

And those pre-scripted keeper catches had not been in ps5 now I’ve had 2 in 4 overs.

Frauds

I had Shreyas Iyer go aerial through extra cover. Felt risky because I had a short cover but it was actually quite refreshing.

Genuinely felt like the AI was leaving realistically, defending realistically and scoring when I lost my line. A few nice drives through the covers mixed in with running it down leg side.

Oh wow, so along with the rest they've got rid of infield catches. I think they need to put this game down.

What platform / build?

I mean, I can’t confirm it. But I had not seen this before where they hit the ball into the ground in front of them and it bounces up and flies to the ring fielder before… not it happens all the time. This fake physics was used in c19 all the time.

Steam. Latest buiild I think.

One of those things where I believe it's all down to how the individual plays the game. It's why sharing sliders makes no sense to me.

I don't look at the hud for timing, I use the bowler run to time. So I am lucky to get Perfect/Perfect. Bowling with Woakes using the really hard to time Hazlewood action and Wood with the Starc action I don't like. This increase no balls and less chance of perfect bowling. And I'm bowling with Wood so I want to get bouncers in but sometimes Rambo Raja and Say Jhah call those wide.

I've always wondered if the extras impact the overall approach at all. Like if I'm helping the run rate by bowling lots of no balls with Woakes, does that keep the AI more sensible?

Nearly always use a similar field. Might take out short cover and stick in a short leg or a slip out to leg gully. So the AI can score down leg side when I bowl too straight. I know @Wealey says you can leave room for an AI release, which I get and agree might help, but at the same time I shouldn't have to. I think the AI has a choke point and so I just use realistic fields.



Genuinely it felt like the most realistic I've had AI batting. Kohli and Iyer are both in so I'm a little worried they might start teeing off. But Iyer has a FC strike rate up in the 70s, so I wouldn't complain if he dabbled in a little bazball.

 

[cricboi]

Good news: fewer run-outs
Bad news: Keeper sliding in front of the stumps to take catches is back and worse than ever. Might have to hold off on bowling spin so much for a bit.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

@blockerdave I should add, I haven't used a spinner for about two weeks. I don't know if I could use Ben Duckett to run through the opposition... yet.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

I just achieved the perfect impossible moment.

Kohli and Iyer's fist bump lined up perfectly with the drums in a Gang of Four song that was playing. Would take me ten minutes to edit the timing this well.

What I was dreading. Mine auto-downloaded last night and I haven't been keen to trial it yet. Back to platinuming Red Dead for at least a week I guess. Or just player stat correcting if I do load up Cricket '24.

It's incredible really. I've never seen a team that patches with so much negative effect so frequently. I've seen other developers make mistakes before for sure, but that might be one in 5 or 6 patches which they correct very quickly usually. These guys just seem to be the complete reverse of that!

 

[robmfc1988]

Ben Stokes still has a Kookaburra what have they actually "fixed" in this patch?

It’s so minor, but it’s really annoying, such a basic mistake, especially as he is licensed
