Cricket 24

Post by PF. »

From Gooch's Test Cricket on the C64 to Lara's Cricket on the Mega Drive, I've always been a fan of the cricket game.

Cricket 22 is very decent and I enjoy battling it out on the test version. The 20/20 online game isn't half bad however you need to be good or you'll be destroyed by the fanatics (much like I was!).

Cricket 24 is out end of June. Word of warning that '22 was very buggy on release as they tried to shoe-in with the Ashes. Here's hoping that they've learnt their lesson.

I'm still not convinced I've ever played a better cricket game that Graham Gooch's... on the old Atari ST.

Big fan of Cricket 22 and I’ve only scratched the surface in terms of career mode.
Very keen on a follow up but still happy to plow through 22 a bit more…

Nope I watched a review of it and there were lots of bugs. IGN review

Yep it’s bugged to f*** so I’m not remotely interested in picking up until the new year when updates are made.

Was that the game where if you hit a 6, the ball would become massive in the middle of the screen?

Doesn't ring any bells Jacko but it could well be, haven't played it for many a year now!
