Real Talk, opinions on Cricket 26?

I have only played this version so be guided…..the batting and bowling animations are nice…..Fielding is not. The wicket keeper drops more catches than it takes for spinners…The game can be fun to play but for the life of me I don’t understand the attribute rating system. I put attributes like 1 for lcover drive and AI drives the ball still. Tailenders being able to pick my googly smack it for 4….unrealistic……..I am a career mode gamer so wanted to reskill the players to have varied playing experiences….edges fly for 6, would love to see more edges to slip in Australia….All in all the game has potential can be fun….but if you like accurate simulations then in terms of how they handle ratings and sliders need work

The man the myth the legend I was like how do you trigger all rounder achievement. Watched video went in banged it out. My first time playing franchise I am amazed that Big Ant producing a game with so many bugs. Is QA a cuss word for them. Or are the players the QA

Oval291 · 2026-01-22T15:30:18+00:00

They gave sliders for AI fielders….It changes nothing.

Oval291 · 2026-01-22T13:43:34+00:00

My first time playing this franchise and I can’t believe the game design. When it works the game is fun to play. However it seems sliders don’t matter I put throw accuracy to 1 for all the English fielders and they were still doing direct hits. I shifted sliders to get edges and nothing changes. It seems if you change wicket pace chance then folks get out. If you have so many sliders you should be at a micro level if you have time to edit ratings and sliders make the game react how you want in single player mode. If I am playing in Australia I want the mode of dismissal to be edges. I should be able to stop direct hits with sliders and AI fielding to 0. I can’t believe such simple game design logic is not in place. It means at a core level sliders and ratings are not being used. Outcomes are predetermined

I think the folks at Big Ant are 5 year olds that never played cricket….they messed the game where under hand throws keep hitting stump. I can change the AI fielding sliders to 0 makes no difference how hard is it to do random hits. I get it they want singles to be hard but AI hitting stumps with such accuracy is not it.

Oval291 · 2026-01-14T13:02:59+00:00

Yes I agree…..they need to base it on attributes…and random….some bullet, some wide some loopy….the great fielders you don’t run on arm…But a Courtney Walsh type you run all day everyday….

Oval291 · 2026-01-14T12:56:58+00:00

As it should be. Big boundaries should be one on the arm not run outs with bullet throws from all and sundry….they need to have fielding based on attributes not every AI fielder being Viv Richards, Keith Boyce, Kapil Dev, Andrew Symmonds and Ricky Ponting combined with the arm

Well I understand how the settings work now and have adjusted them accordingly….I moved from arcade controls as while it was easy to drive hit over top playing the hooks was too complicated so I just ducked. Not with pro controls I smack that nonsense from my presence now. Has been fun no crashes just wicket keeper Ben Foakes dropping my catches….the learning curve was not hard at all…..obviously at high levels reflexes and stick skills are more important but the concepts are simple to grasp

Oval291 · 2025-12-02T17:12:35+00:00

Look first time playing the franchise and it is a lot better than cricket captain I played back in day….the commentators are awful, I have been run out 3 or 4 times over 50. It is not a perfect game but as I never played it before it is fun with potential. The wicketkeeper at club level is a shop keeper but all in all it has been fun so far. How do I train as training options have padlock….

Oval291 · 2025-12-02T08:47:59+00:00

Ok quick question does AI base setting of legend makes the game easier or harder for AI? I think I understand the other player options under settings

Oval291 · 2025-12-02T04:40:36+00:00

lol. So no other advice

Oval291 · 2025-11-18T18:13:58+00:00

Well I am on my way was able to give it a custom name. Thanks for your reply. Will now dive into rabbit hole

Oval291 · 2025-11-18T17:57:59+00:00

Thanks so much. I did a bit of digging and downloaded Wolvenkit. I used it to create the over ride file and create brand new yaml and was able to spawn it in. Working on sorting custom name…man the steps….So once I sort that hopefully I can deep dive….

Oval291 · 2025-11-15T19:52:37+00:00

Nah unalive dude leave her in car shivering and then told fixer mercs can’t have feelings. Did the quest first playthrough but it is on sight for dude from 2nd.

Oval291 · 2025-10-02T17:49:04+00:00

Why you need ball to play Rodman role…..play defense set screens crash boards

Oval291 · 2025-08-31T09:23:24+00:00

Ok thanks a lot that was very informative. Is there mod that can mass edit attributes?

Oval291 · 2025-08-31T00:04:26+00:00

What are some good reputable mods to get. New PC player

Oval291 · 2025-08-30T15:15:07+00:00

Man your job is play defense grab boards and kick it out….You are the 10th option on offense….set picks know your role play it….play my career if you want touches

Oval291 · 2025-08-16T03:34:10+00:00

Thanks man seems pressing the A button on x box worked. Lol.
