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
♥️ Well said
We as community should get together, make a group chat and build our own Cricket game. Customise player faces and if licenses become an issue just alter their names like Bebr Amad and Vijay Kotli?
This video is all about what i commented on your last video 👍Licensing hold them for not improving any gameplay due to their limited budget 🙂
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!
Truth Just Hit Different ❤🎉
♥️
100% correct. We cant edit licenses
Yea bro.. bowling with slim and gall Kuldeep yadav is such an eyesore
Licencing isn't needed for small studios like big ant, they should movus more on gameplay, there's already a community feature where we can download real players and teams not 100% accurate but good enough, Even we don't need player names in commentry more than gameplay
Exactly. It is alright if you have the finances to get the licenses AFTER getting the gameplays and features correct, first. Shouldn’t be the primary focus
Have a reason for a wicketkeeper career mode as you have 0 control over what your player does with the gloves on, would be nice for a system to catch the ball (catch or not) as keeper.
Yea, that is a nice catch. Not much attention paid there!
Really wish they never got rid of scenario mode.......
Really strange yes!
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.
I would be happy with just licensed stadiums. They look beautiful! Play-faces we can manage with community!
There is a group of casual gamers who are obsessed with liscencing, not understanding what they are loosing out on. Bigant is capitalising that.
Sad but true.
Good video. We need such channels
Thank you!!
Equipment like bats can be changed bro for licensed players as well
@@SHAHRUKHKHAN-w3w yes, but when you share those players in community, and someone tries to download them it will give them an error. Like most of the players and teams I have uploaded, due to bat logos I put on them, users are not able to download the players in to their game. 🥲 but yes I get your point.
I enjoy Playing Cricket 19 with Community players i think its better than licencing btw nice video 🙂
Yeah true about community players. Even DBC 14 was a success with just Bradman as the licensed player 🙂 thank you!
As much as i hate to admit it but cricket 24 should also add the fifa player opening mechanic so they can make more money
They need to provide better value for the money they are already charging, first
@@RahulRants But the gambling system gave EA a greater source of income, If BigAnt just gathers up some more money for the india, pakistan contract they could be golden
@ 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!
Btw, they promised the Pro Team feature (similar but no real money involved) with card collection for c24 at release but yet to fulfill on that. AFL23 has it and is working well!
@@RahulRants Yeah, I really wish BigAnt Had the resources to get the licenses and charge a fair price. Their Parent Company is not doing well either I wonder how long BigAnt will be around.
i just want the licensed players to have an option to change there kit like pads and gloves, my babar azam dosent even have grayniccols pads and gloves, they also need to update all the kits asap so that the licensing means that we acctually have real time kites, pakistan and the nz still havent got updated kits yet.
:-(
Big ant has licence of face , body but the shots or action - do they fall under licence? Player editor in ashes cricket 09 is great. Anderson as spin and Swan as fast bowler.
No shot and actions dont fall under license. Also Big Ant licensed player bodies are inaccurate.
@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.
@@Trwn1721 i mean you dont need license to have bowling styles in the game. It can’t be copyrighted
How do you find the CSA One-Day Cup, CSA 4-Day Series & CSA T20 Challenge, for example WSB Western Province, North West Dragons, Momentum Multiply Titans, DP World Lions, HollywoodBets Dolphins, Warriors, ITEC Knights & The Rocks
These are not licensed tournaments hence not in the game. You can create custom tournaments though, and try to recreate it (multiple groups are not allowed unfortunately)
I found the licensed CSA provincial teams, @wasteyouryouth created them so I downloaded them
any Solution on Flickering issue on Perth pitch?
No solution from our side can. It is just like that unfortunately!
Do you know how fifa has an ultimate team what is they had that in cricket 24 idk if that’s a stupid idea or not but having a bad team and building it up by opening packs would be fun idk if it’s a dumb idea
@@sheroospeeds3566 it was supposed to be in cricket 24 called Pro Team. Unfortunately we are yet to get it even though it was a promised feature at the time of release! AFL23 has it now
Ea fc has got all liscence of players
No, actually they lost a lot of TEAM licenses after breaking up with Fifa. Also, EA FC 25 is one of their worst rated games in recent times. Just another DLC kind of upgrade without much meaning to the offline manager modes. Been playing both EA and PES football franchise since 2004
The academy that’s good I’d rather they focus on stadium licences
Exactly my feelings. Stadiums are stunning and they do them really well too!
How download t10 teams
Like every other team. From the community.
I think that cricket 19 has a overall great experience everything was good in that game except the plare faces (Licenced Players)other than that it is a great game. Cricket 22 and Cricket 24 are the worst to play but only good thing about it is that there are many licenced players and stadiums. overall for me still cricket 19 feels good to play
Problem is just cant take it as a serious simulation with the bobble head character models! That was a big let down
@RahulRants yes it's the only reason why cricket 22 and 24 are better than 19 which is the players model definitely it's better in cricket 24
Hey bro, I am constantly having custom logo data corruption problem in C24 on Ps4. Do you have any solution or suggestion to my issue? It's really frustrating.
Not really. Lot of issues with the game like that. Like if you try to download my teams you will get error because I have used custom logos on bat which apparently causes issue with the game server. Many other issues like that are also happening and it is just luck. Try to create a ticket and ask them, as of now we can't do anything.
Konami should make a cricket game.
I have lost hope in Konami as well. They killed the beautiful PES and now it is literally unplayable as eFootball!
@RahulRants I think if they become partners with FIFA they will rise again
Bro, any Update for Cricket 25, is it Coming Soon?
@@DeepuChandnani-rl6ms no, no news yet.
How i can download Pakistan srilanka and bangladesh real faces in cricket 24 bcz the players i download they won't replace with old one
Download the players and then go to team manager and add the players manually to squad
@RahulRants ya I know the process but the new one download but can't replace old one face player i don't know why
@rahikashyap03 while downloading it asks if you want to replace / overwrite or save as custom. If you press overwrite it will replace, but only if they are unlicensed. You cant replace licensed players- you will have to save them as custom player without overwriting , then add them to the team and remove the other one from team that originally exists
@@RahulRants o thanks
@@RahulRants how i can download malikgaming like player face of Pakistan players
But in how much time we can expect a game with all league and teams officially licensed 😄?
Maybe, never.....
@RahulRants that's sad but i think if there's a game with 100% licence would be a hit and had a enhanced experience of cricket simulation and also can a game that actually promote the sport hopefully in future EA step in and made a game with all the licence otherwise I don't think there's anymore potential in BIG ANTS if things are same for future sadly that's a end of cricket community of pc and console.
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.
But I get what you are saying!
@@RahulRants yeah that's true played ea fc 25 and literally think I got robbed nothing changed in term of gameplay from 22.
I feel licensing in cricket is overrated, while it works for fifa
@@saur16 if the gameplay is already solid, then it is an added bonus! But not at the expense of gameplay and features
@ agree and there should be an option for few modification as cricket needs bat and all changes
why bcci is not making cricket game is beyond my mind when you are the richest board in world and also india is the big market for cricket and still not a single game from them
Even if they make, it will probably be a mobile game.
Yeah who cares about official IPL. Be simple like DBC and Brian Lara cricket
As I was saying in the other comment, 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!
I also noticed player calls like “Yep”, “NO!”, “CATCH IT!” and “HOW’S THAT” in all the big ant games are from Dbc14 and haven’t changed much…
Yea most of those stuff they just copy pasted
