PlayStation 5 User Reviews

I am not fkn kidding you that it takes literally a full minute of watching unskippable logo fade ins/outs before you can finally interact with the fkn game! The game that defaults to 480p!!!!!! WITH BASICALLY UNLEDGABLE TEXT!!!! And everytime you change a graphic setting?? You gotta restart!! The whole game ui is also extremely un-user friendly, its so dogsht, and the tutorial / controls are confusing as **** doesn't help that I've never played Cricket and I dont really know how its played. I decided to try this anyways as it was free on the pc gamepass, and I've done this to other sports games like American football NFL where I knew jack sht about the rules and never played it, but managed to learn how the game is played and how to play, but I can not do this at all in this game. The controls and tutorial ****, and the game automatically assumes you know how to play **** graphics are also horrible and I wish there were more customization options for creating your mycarreer character such as the limited skin tones being expanded.Again, I dont know how to play Cricket, and still dont really get it after 36 minutes of playing this game, so my review is heavily biased. If you enjoy playing Cricket maybe you'll like this? But as someone who has never played the sport, it is very unfriendly to noobs and the gameplay I felt was pretty boring for me.They also seem to have the classic ea monitization schemes of your career character and integrating this into multiplayer / ranked, which no one is a fan of... I would've saved the rating a bit for the benefit of doubt but the possible microtransactions in an already $60 normal price game is just too much. Why must I pay for the ability to have a non trash character/team in order to actually play the game as intended? A game that gets replaced every single year??The game also seems to be very repetitive. And though I haven't really seen it due to my playtime and complete utter confusion, many user reviews are claiming that the game is buggy

This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $60 for a PS3 game. I would never even think of buying a cricket game. I hate cricket, it is just a poor man's baseball. But a game is still a game and I am willing to give every game a fair chance, regardless if whether I like the genre or not. It is a part of the PS Plus Extra catalogue, so I decided to give it a try. The quality of this game is not on par with other sports games like Madden and NBA 2K, not even close. I understand the publisher of this game doesn't have as much money as EA and Take-Two, but they still had the audacity to charge $60. When a game costs $60, I expect top-notch AAA quality. The graphics are a joke. The physics are beyond horrible. The animations are laughable. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. There are many bugs and glitches. The crowd looks like they were ported straight from a PS2 game. The lighting is terrible. There are no hair physics. The hair looks so fake. These character models are so awful, I was like "Oh look, there is a mannequin moving" and it turns out that mannequin was actually a cricket player. ● The online multiplayer is complete trash. It is a buggy unplayable piece of garbage. The batting mechanics are horrendous. There are too many disconnection issues. I thought people were rage quitting but it also happens right at the start of the game. The game crashed multiple times. So this game technically came out in 2023, right? Or at least that's what I remember seeing in the store page. It's one thing for an online game to be buggy in the first week, but we only have a few months left until 2025 and the online is still a buggy mess? This is unbelievable. It just goes to show how greedy and lazy the developers are. I have not played past Cricket games because like I said, I hate Cricket. But I have no doubt in my mind that this is the same Cricket game these lazy developers have been copying and pasting for the past 10 years. They just slapped Kobe Bryant's number on the title of this game and called it a day. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.

It's good fun. Gets repetitive and boring soon. Full of bugs. Has a lot of potential to be a quality cricket game, but it just isn't there yet.

Am I playing a PS3 game on my PS5? What have Big Ant done here? The women look like copy/paste anorexic sticks, the commentary is both contradictory and overlapping, the graphics are woeful, the sound is disjointed and the game refuses to save my career preferences and player build. Cricket 19 is a better experience, overall, and that's not saying much. The only saving grace is it feels great to knock a six, but that gets boring and repetitive really quickly due to how easy it is to score.

Good- Presentation is better with additional scenes that add to the immersion and atmosphere. Decent commentary. Batting and bowling systems can be fun. Significant amount of content and difficulty settings. Bad- The advertised Pro Team is missing without any word of why. Visuals could use more polish. Commentary has limited lines. Awful menu music. Random responses while batting that add to the frustration. Missing IPL teams. Fielding overhaul amounts to very little. Annoying bugs. Thoughts- Maybe things will improve drastically in the next game. For now, unless you want a new Cricket game to play or are counting on the community to fill any gaps in content, Cricket 24 is difficult to recommend.

Abysmal. I don't expect the quality like Madden or Fifa but this is just a cash grab. The AI is dumb, gameplay is the worst, music is just awful, graphics are outdated and the batting and bowling gameplay is very stiff with no improvements from its predecessor.
