Cricket 24
SCORE: 82
I hope you were able to come by and hang out when I live streamed
Cricket 24 on our Twitch channel. That stream is being converted into
videos that will be uploaded to our video sites in the near future. I do
not know a lot about Cricket. I have played a few Cricket video games in
the past but still did not feel any closer to comprehending what was
going on. That is until this last live stream of Cricket 24. A wonderful
gentleman from Ireland helped me with a plethora of comprehension.
I feel like I learned a bit more about Cricket thanks to that gentleman
and playing Cricket 24. A match in Cricket 24 takes four days. In fact I
live streams one inning and it took me an hour and a half. I also was
trying to get myself out on purpose at one point. I scored sixty-two
runs, and the other team scored fifty-seven. I then simulated the rest
of the game and my team scored 713 runs compared to their 197. A
dominate win by my team.
There are a plethora of different teams and modes that can be played in
Cricket 24. Please note I have little real world knowledge of how teams
are in the real world. I have never been to a Cricket match. Although
who has four days to sit and watch one game? Men and women are available
in Cricket 24. The graphics are decent looking but there are plenty of
videos that are replayed again and again. Like when one team is
complaining about an umpire decision.
There are multiple ways to play Cricket 24. Since I am not that good at
Cricket I went with the Arcade way of playing. It is much easier to
control things. With that said there were times the ball would go off a
weird direction that just confused me. Or the bowler would throw the
ball some odd way after getting an out. I learned this game has weird
resets, and the fields can be helpful or glitch on you. There are plenty
of ways to throw the ball if you want to learn this game.
My biggest issue with Cricket 24 is how long a game takes. Yes you can
save it and come back. You can also simulate games if you do not have
enough time. I got frustrated with how long it took, and how many times
the batters would do a defensive swing. I then had to go back through
the throwing selections again. I understand that all of that is part of
this game. I am also happy to have learned a bit about this game. Maybe
they will not make me wait two years for another game. We got a free
copy of this game thanks to Xbox Game Pass.
