    I would say that the cricket boards also should see video games as a way to promote the game rather than as a cash grab. If they can provide the licensing rights at a minimal cost or even for free, that would have a positive impact on the game. At the moment licensing is a curse for cricket games especially for the most recent one; Cricket 24

      Yes, licensing itself is not the issue. If you are a big enough to develop a game with licenses and great gameplay, then nothing better than that. But if the choice is between great gameplay and licensing then the focus should be on providing a fantastic gameplay even at the expense of licenses!

    PES is lauded for its gameplay despite lack of licenses. they were able to cover it up with edit mode allowing the community to download teams and player faces. cricket 24 has so much potential if they invest money in fixing gameplay😊

      Yes, PES was a great example to follow. Unfortunately, they are done after they went free to play with yearly updates system on steam. The game play is no longer that great. But used to be such a great game! Introduced master league to us and showed what can be done with great competition!

    Licenses should be restricted to only England and Australia, as it has been for the previous games. Look at New Zealand for example. Big Ant licensed them including Super Smash and the Domestic teams, but the kits are yet to be updated. Same with West Indies and Ireland.

      @ People dont have that purchasing power here. The game itself is pretty costly. On top of that if you ask them to pay more it’s not gonna end up well. EA can do that as their core audience is from developed countries….
      Plus EA theelves are making some poorly made games with EA FC 25 being one of the worst. So not a great example - they have fully gone behind money making online modes, with yearly release that is nothing more than DLC. EAfC 25 is now one of their worst reviewed game. Their offline manager mode has recieved no real upgrades in the last 5-7 years.
      Cricket is too complicated a game to survive on online modes alone!

      @RahulRants no then what's the point of locking entirely licensed player. I think the only thing they can do is give us full manual control on simulation and the situation of games. Because there are not many things which can be improved apart from overall gameplay in a simulation game if it is not arcade.

    • @RahulRants
      @RahulRants  14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It is a lot of money to get all the licenses. Doing that SMALL studios will be left with nothing to spend on R&D, Implement new modes / features. It will get sales due to licenses but with a game with no replay value and another copy paste. You need BIG MONEY studios for that, and EA won't do that as they are not going to get the return they want from Cricket as the purchasing power of target audience is low. Also, EA's football games have become progressively worse, and they are just concentrating on their money spinner online modes. The offline, manager mode has been neglected year after year and I don't think Cricket is a game that can survive with just online modes. As a sport it is too long, and complicated and offline modes will remain its core IMO.
