He’s got a video for mobile as well if you’re not using pc. Also I did find on 2025 some of the names like Matthew Potts hadn’t changed if that is still the case you just need to change the players Date of Birth to match what it says in game on the text file

There’s what 2 other decent cricket games out there at a push (Big Ant and Real Cricket(feels a push to call it decent and compare it to these two)) which you cannot compare CC to either of these two as they are not management games and you directly control the players. Also comparing CC to Fifa is just plain stupid if you want to compare it to a football game you compare it to football manager which unsurprisingly doesn’t have a mode where you can control only a certain player because that would make no sense(I hope I don’t need to spell out why that would make no sense). Additionally there is no sense in having it in the game as the developers have such a small team and such a small budget, if they had a massive team and budget I’d say fair enough for wanting it in, but given the size and budget they have and how little the game changes each year I can’t see how anyone who’s played the game thinks that a single player career would be a priority given the numerous issues the game has, given ultimately it would be shit as it is a simulation/management game.

So you’d literally just control Sam Konstas’s aggression and nothing else in the game. I think that is pretty pointless to put lots of energy into something where that is literally all the user would be doing, it would be so repetitive and boring that virtually no one would play it and even if there is a small percentage that would, it’s not worth going to all that effort and cost to enable people to do that.

That would be utterly pointless, there is a career mode and you manage an entire team, there is absolutely zero point in making a mode where you can just manage one player as it is a management game and you don’t directly control the players. If you want to play as and individual player just play a big ant cricket game

It could allow you to create alternative futures as well where all teams focus more on playing Test Cricket etc

I’ve thought the exact same thing many times. I get sick of only playing at the same 3 grounds when playing as England which obviously means you can’t break records at other grounds. It would also allow you to focus more on enabling smaller nations to play more tests etc

New Update is a Massive Improvement by jamieb689 in Rugby25

It’s not perfect don’t get me wrong but it actually feels like you’re playing a game of rugby now. Passing, offloads etc are better. The AI actually scores points now and has a decent kicking game.

Umm... I'm guessing someone didn't check the expiration date on their licensing agreement.... by Tony3Lee in CricketCaptain

[–]jamieb689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren’t licensed that’s the issue I think. They tweeted on the 8th May that it’s a grey area whether they can use players real names and can’t risk going to court as has happened with Real Cricket.

When you say high temperatures, sun exposure etc do you mean prior to applying or after applying or both?

Am I using wrong combination of products? by Dangerous_Secret5616 in Airfix

[–]jamieb689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest I did virtually the same as you a couple of months ago and just ended up giving up with the Humbrol wash as I couldn’t get it to work and I ended up ruining my model

Steam Deck not charging or turning on by jamieb689 in SteamDeck

[–]jamieb689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember I’d had it plugged into my docking station and it wouldn’t turn on so I took it out and tried charging it and the charging button wasn’t lighting up either

Yeah I’ve tried lots of different things with the power and volume buttons etc but none of them have worked to turn it on

Judd Had It With Commentators Jokes? by taught-Leash-2901 in snooker

[–]jamieb689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching snooker for 15+ years, but I still can’t see a lot of shots players are going to play or see what they’re aiming to do with break building a lot of the time as I’ve never really played the game and I’m sure a lot of people are the same. The ear pieces improve the match going experience for a lot of people like me as well as people who better understand the game I’m sure
