bhai shika di o koi

As an occasional player and a casual cricket fan, I purchased Cricket 24 with the expectation of significant improvements over Cricket 22, my first engaging cricket game since the days of Cricket 07. While I appreciate the licensed players and some graphical enhancements in Cricket 24, the game has unfortunately taken a step down in terms of overall player experience.

Cricket 24 has not evolved meaningfully from its predecessor. The career mode, my preferred mode for unwinding, remains as uninspiring as the Sahara Desert. It lacks substantial new features or improvements, making it feel stale and underwhelming. The developers seem to be capitalizing on the absence of competition in the cricket gaming market, rather than focusing on genuine innovation or responsive updates.

The support and development team appear unresponsive to community feedback, contrary to the expectations set by their previous updates with Cricket 22. While minor bugs have been addressed, the updates lack impactful changes that significantly enhance gameplay. This is a stark contrast to smaller studios like Embark, developers of "The Finals," who actively engage with their community and rapidly address player concerns.

Cricket 24 might appeal to die-hard fans of the sport who will play regardless of quality, but I advise casual players to steer clear. Despite my initial reluctance to request a refund—as a gesture of support to the developers—I am now reconsidering my support for this studio in future releases. This installment does not justify its cost, and it reflects a missed opportunity to build on the foundations laid by Cricket 22.
