Скачать или смотреть Cricket 22: The Nets Challenge - First Impressions [Twitch Stream Upload]

Hey ya'll, I was getting a bit impatient about when the pre-orders start on steam, eventually gave up and pre-ordered the game on Xbox One - 11th Oct 2021. This is the first time I played the Nets Challenge so please go easy on me if I was a bit stupid to understand some controls :)

Please let me know in the comments what you'd like me to check or review if I missed out on any elements.

Here are my first impressions if this video is too long for you to watch,

The graphics are pretty bad: Shadows are bad, textures are blurry. Hope that's only in the nets and changes later in the game.
Player bodies are weird - players seem malnutrition-ed 😄
Bowling arcade controls are new... nice, I think. I will try them for a while but most likely will revert back to standard at some point.

Many visual and gameplay bugs:-
-- Bowl release controls sometimes don't work and you end up releasing the bowl late. (happened in both medium pace and spin bowling)
-- Batsman's direction is a bit broken and unpredictable especially playing defensive shots, several times tried to play a shot towards mid-off but the batsman played it towards mid-on.
Only three players to play with in the nets: Jimmy Anderson, Moeen Ali, and Joe Root. (Got to face left-handed Jimmy Anderson, which was pretty cool) 😄

Conclusion: I would suggest delaying your pre-order and buy the game when it is released. If you're really keen on pre-ordering, perhaps do that in Early November when the game is more stable. I would also however say that I am happy with the purchase because Big Ant or now Nacon is the only developer working on major cricket titles and I gladly support them any way I can.
