Future Game - CC25

[ARW96]

I appreciate that this has been a frequently discussed topic for years now, but with the past few games essentially providing an extremely similar (if not identical) game experience, then I feel the need for an editor is imperative in CC25.

As mentioned before, there will always be people who use the editor for purposes that are not intended, but the positives outweight the negatives greatly.

I also appreciate that there is a lot of work needed to create an editor, however the players that buy CC year on year are paying good money, that in all honesty is not proportionate to the quality of the game. These funds should go towards what so many players have been asking to include for so many years now.

The game is becoming stale, outdated and the pricepoint is becoming unrealistic for the product. An editor would go a long long way to fixing these issues, (obviously there are other areas that need bringing into the modern world too, e.g. graphics!!)

Dont care about editing stuff . Maybe just the fixtures for international games.And if you play this game for graphics this is the wrong game . This is a stats based game graphics upgrades will just make game more pricey. I dont even play the game on with highlights.and most players play the game with low end pc's . There are other stuff that the developers can fix like Ai fielding positions, add more competitions and international teams etc..... if we can get the editor I will use it mainly to edit fixtures and add leagues but that the developers can fix so spending extra money every year to fix that is unnecessary because the developers should fix it

Main issue of the game isn't graphics because its so heavenly stats based they must add more playable stuff .

Agree. Would like to see Women's tournaments and Internationals. More complete stats. T20s engine fixed. Love the game. Just wish it was better in certain areas.

This company needs to modernize the user interface and possibly the visuals by replacing the cartoon animation with video footage and player photos. And it needs a lot more technical depth for bowling and batting techniques. And for some strange reason there are few or no classic teams from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Also it would be nice to have actual photos of stadiums instead of the cartoon pictures they use no. All that children’s cartoon animation and pictures need to be modernized

Real photos of players and stadiums can cause licensing issues and requiring licenses will cost money. Thats why you can change the players names .

I dont think you understand the budget nor sales for this product.

It's not produced by deep pockets EA Sports nor does it sell the same numbers as FIFA.

Its produced by a very small team I believe with a small budget, unless you want them to charge $100 like major titles, you are not going to get a comparable game.

2025 requests:

EverythIng I always say about coaching and regens.

Enable the setting of preferred highlight frequency in the main options. I don't watch highlights so be handy to not have to set this each time I go in to play.
Allow the setting of pitch type by format, it's fiddly (remembering) to go in and out of the pitch type screen between games. Or maybe add the pitch type option to the team selection screen for home games.

Remove the thing where weaker players opening the batting in first class default to 1 agg instead of 2 like normal. This is a tell tale sign the player is a dud and doesn't match any other part of the game where performances (ok and salary expectations) are all that indicate ability.

Make the same change to bowling speed for fast bowlers as you made to player batting aggression. Aggression used to be just one of five options from very def to very agg and you replaced it by using strike rates to set the player on a spectrum. Do the same with fast bowling speed (default all players to the middle of whatever their current speed is as speed data not available like s/r is e.g. if scale is 1 to 100, RM 1-25, RFM 26-50, RMF 51 to 75 and RF is 76 to 100 then set all RF to 88 initially) then give a coaching option to either speed up or decrease speed. Benefits are higher speed more likely to take wickets but more chance of injury, slower more economical and better in seaming conditions and lower injury risk.

Expand the overseas contract options massively, think we currently get 60 odd options. Give us 60 batters, 60 bowlers and 60 all rounders + keepers with a toggle to switch between the 3 groups.

Let us make offers during the contract window to buy out the contracts of other clubs players, this would be a good use of excess funds I sometimes have.

Make other clubs release players they haven't used at all during the season.

Make bowlers form take account of economy in t20 games.

Give an option (once per season) to swap the reserve overseas player with a main one for a fee.

Stop injuries interrupting off season coaching. Annoying when a 1 day injury after you set coaching loses a couple months of potential progress until the next opportunity to check.

Is it just me, or has the excitement of the next version not caught on with the 'regulars' here? For the first time, I am not really looking forward to the new version.... "when it comes it comes" - I guess
