Cricket 24 - General Discussion

I cannot for the love of me look at this bowling action anymore. Calling it an eyesore would be polite. Just look at the release point. Why don't they fix it? It has been 5 games and it's still there, sticking out like a sore thumb.

For me it's Starc's action.. not as smooth as in real.. in game the jump and release is very slow but in real it is very smooth and quick

I agree, even Anderson's lacks that natural snap. There is only one fast bowling action worth using in the game and its action 3. I don't know who its modeled after, but it looks natural at any speed and even adapts well to physics changes. Every other action is either B tier or lower.

So true. And to see a lot of licensed players having their action style locked to this one

A small thing I noticed, when one run is required the field used to come up in previous games but in Cricket 24 it never happens. Has anyone else noticed it?

I’ve noticed that in career mode, SA20 is a bit weird. The competition exists, as players on the team play in the tournament in career mode existing player. But does not appear in selection status

They always come up for me.

I'm not sure you could expect international bowlers to actually bowl at full whack in a videogame mocap session in an indoor studio with trainers on. Not sure if they're actually releasing a ball. Might be a bit dangerous to acually have cricket balls flying about in a room full of mocap gear.

They'll give it a bit of a whirl but they're going to make sure they don't risk an injury and the action won't be as dynamic as when they're bowling for real.

and they cant use a tennis ball?

No idea.

They're just not going to go flat out for a videogame becaused there's always an injury risk attached to bowling flat out.

I don’t think you need to bowl like it’s the WC final but surely there’s a happy medium between the former and whatever we have left in the game? You could use a sponge ball for all I care if it results in better authenticity.

I assume some aren't proper mocap. Bumrah, Malinga, etc surely they are either just animated or a mix of someone doing an impression and then animation being adjusted.

I do think they all feel a little lethargic, but I think a lot of that is due to the run up.

Obviously in the 'get Bowling Style 1' in the bin camp though.

I don't know if you've ever tried bowling quick with an underwewight ball but I think it's an injury risk.

Regardless, it's not just the weight of the ball. They're in trainers on an indoor surface. Pros always take it a bit easy in those conditions.

Yes and downloaded teams don't draw through. In my first season the team was exactly the Lions. No overseas players.
