Cricket 22 - The Official Game of The Ashes (PS4)

As an avid gamer and cricket-mad fan, I've been waiting for over 20 years for a good cricket sim. This sure delivers. Yes it has faults, but they are slowly being ironed out as patches emerge. This is my go-to game now, has been for some time. Racked up some serious hours on career mode, and my attention isn't waning. Highly recommended if you're a cricket fan like me. Be prepared to lose lots of time once you get stuck into career mode, it's addictive.

Enjoying career mode at the moment. The game crashes here and there but stability has improved following updates released by the developers. Really wished they could have attained licenses for the South Asian teams. Come on BCCI & PCB. What are you guys playing at?!! Do it for the fans!

Now that a few bugs that were present upon release have been fixed, Cricket 22 is a really enjoyable game and can be as fun/challenging as you want it to be. There’s still some things to iron out, crucially a crash in Career Mode on PS4 but Big Ant are actively working to resolve this and enhance the game in general.The new look of the players takes some getting used to but the variety of bowling animations, batting shots and improved (But not yet perfect) fielding look and feel great. Some of the replays, including a new panning camera look stunning.The customisation options are great with even more depth and easier to use colour options when using kits. Competition Designer is sadly missing from the game at present but will possibly be patched in.Career has greater depth off the field but doesn’t intrude/slow things down too much. Like I say, there are crash issues on some platforms though.The menu screens are also much brighter, clearer and simply better. This game (Or previous versions) often gets compared with FIFA/NBA etc, sometimes negatively. I find it immersive and enjoyable with the unparalleled customisation providing it with longevity.To sum up, the menu screens are better, the gameplay looks great whilst still requiring a little bit of work particularly around fielding and the games is as good, enjoyable or challenging as you make it.

I bought this for my 10 year old cricket mad Grandsons birthday, He loves it.I think it was a good buy it keeps him entertained for ages and his Dad!!.

The gameplay is great, but is spoiled by inappropriate commentary and infuriating bugs.

the game is really good and love the graphics the game okay is much better than the previous games love the new changes to the bowling and batting is much better love the new run out system

Bought this as a present for a friend , very happy with it easy to use and good instructions

I’ve had all of the big ant studios cricket games and they always manage to become good games in the long run. However this game was just nowhere near ready for release and after about 100GB of update downloads there are still so many things wrong.First, the difficulty settings are all over the place. It’s either far too easy to score 100+ in easiest/easy or can barely get past 20 on medium/hard. And for reference i was playing on hard batting on ashes 19.Next, the coach videos/press conferences don’t work. When I’ve won games they’re saying unlucky or bad result. Needs sorting.Then there’s the gameplay. AI fielding is almost non existent to the point where about 1/6 catches are caught. I get the odd one dropped but not this many.The training doesn’t add to your career stats.Don’t think I’ve ever had as many 5’s from overthrows because the fielding controls are nonsense.In general, normally ends up being fine after a while but I thought after 2 months the game would be more enjoyable to play and not still having this many problems. Not worth paying £50 for at the moment.
