Cricket 22 hits the crease with confidence, promising the most immersive cricketing experience to date—and for the most part, it delivers. With revamped controls, a polished career mode, and visual upgrades, this installment feels like a well-timed cover drive. But dig a little deeper, and a few dropped catches begin to show. Gameplay flows smoothly from the first over. Whether you’re threading the gap with a perfect straight drive or landing a well-placed outswinger, the batting and bowling mechanics are responsive and intuitive. The new after-touch bowling system adds tactical depth, giving bowlers more control over swing and seam late in the delivery. Batting, especially, feels rewarding—each shot carries weight, timing, and risk, and mastering the controls feels satisfying. Performance-wise, Cricket 22 shines. On PC and next-gen consoles, frame rates stay steady, loading times are minimal, and matches—even longer formats—run seamlessly. The game doesn’t crash under pressure, which is more than can be said for some recent sports titles. What sets Cricket 22 apart is its modern flair. A narrative-driven career mode introduces press conferences, training decisions, and even off-field drama. It's a nice change of pace, adding a human touch that connects you more deeply to your avatar. You aren’t just playing cricket—you’re living it. Licensing is another win. From the Ashes to the Big Bash League and The Hundred, a range of officially licensed tournaments adds authenticity. While not every nation is fully licensed, the thriving community workshop ensures realistic squads and kits are just a download away. But not everything is pitch-perfect. Fielding AI is one of the biggest letdowns. Expect to see bizarre overthrows, players escorting the ball to the boundary like bodyguards, and puzzling dropped catches. These moments break immersion and can frustrate even the most forgiving players. It’s baffling that such a polished batting and bowling engine is paired with AI that fumbles routine plays. Shot variety is also underwhelming. While timing and positioning are critical, some staple cricket shots—like the helicopter, uppercut, or reverse paddle—are either missing or feel robotic. You’ll find yourself cycling through the same dependable strokes rather than improvising like real-world greats. Tactically, the game also falls short. While bowling strategies and field placements exist, they often feel generic or ineffective. There's a lack of depth when trying to replicate the mind games and subtle variations that define real cricket. It’s functional, but far from masterful. Even customization, a once-celebrated feature of Big Ant games, feels a bit restricted this time around. Player and stadium editors are present but lack the depth or user-friendliness expected in 2025. Some UI elements feel clunky, and modding tools haven’t evolved meaningfully since Cricket 19. Audio commentary, despite being helmed by a new lineup, also lacks the energy and sharpness fans hoped for. It quickly becomes repetitive and at times, painfully robotic—hardly a match for the dynamism of real-world broadcast. That said, there’s still a lot to love here. Cricket 22 is a solid base—a match-winning knock that stumbles short of a century. For fans of the sport, it’s easily the most complete package to date, especially with patches and community mods improving things regularly. If you’re craving a genuine, modern cricket sim, this game delivers. But don't expect a flawless innings. With a few tweaks, fielding fixes, and deeper tactical options, Big Ant could rectify these mistakes and improve in cricket 26

Good Game to play

Good

✅ Cricket 22 improves over its predecessor ✅ Graphics looks really good ✅ Autosave is a huge addition ✅ Can update all players with real players from community ✅ Insane playability value with addicting gameplay (provided you are a cricket fan) ✅ Improved career mode ✅ They fixed a huge bug where it was extremely easy to take wickets in Cricket 19 (short ball and AIs tried to always play the pull shot resulting in a catch) ✅ Training gives you boost ❌ Requires connecting to server even if you're just playing offline, please remove this. If Big Ant's server goes down or something happens to them in the future this game will become completely unplayable, and you'll lose all your precious records ❌ Updating players requires you to create an account ❌ Performance points post-match was useless ❌ No indicator if you toggled a special/grounded/down the track shots

very very interesting game

Lots of bugs, but still fun nonetheless. Since the 2026 version is out, this only makes sense if it is on a heavy discount.
