Hi All!

Firstly, its great to be back to these more regular updates. The game has a lot of potential and I'm keen to keep progressing it so that we do not stagnate!

My target when I woke up this morning was to provide 2 patch updates today. I managed this one early on today, but have decided not to do another one tonight! This could be looked at as a positive, as far less bugs are actually being reported - which is great! Still plenty lingering about, but the best thing you guys can do is to keep reporting!

Instead of doing the second patch update, thought I'd begin working on some more exciting stuff. Obviously very excited to announce about Steam Deck over the next couple of days and unfortunately after yesterday's slog, I could not mentally put any more time into Android today, but what I have done is begin to put things in place for league expansions.

Let me know if there's any domestic leagues you'd like to see in the game next! Likely to only be T20 initially as its a lot less time consuming!

Next patch update to come tomorrow for any more bugs that do crop up! So tomorrow will be working on bug fixes, patch update, Android, league expansion basically!

Hi All,

Very minimal updates today, despite putting a good 9 hours into today!

The first couple of hours was spent trying to make Steam Deck more stable with a couple of upgrades. Once this was sorted, fixed a bug around the franchise rules.

The rest of the day, which I'm quite excited to share is that I've made massive progress in making the game available for Android users. The aim is to release on Android before the end of the month. After PC, Android has probably been the most requested, so looking forward to bringing it to those who use it!

Apologies to the Windows users as I feel I've neglected you a bit with this update haha! It looks like I've barely done anything all day, but I have been non-stop! Android was a bigger job than what I expected.

I have, once again, risked the stability of the game by doing all of the Android work today, so apologies if its not as stable as it previously was!

Unlikely to be any big features over the next few days as I prioritise Steam Deck & Android release. There will be bug fixes though, and I will try to implement suggestions where possible!

As always, any issues, please do let me know!

Firstly, I love the concept of this game, and have been playing it a lot over the past few days. I’m a massive FM fan and cricket fan. So, this is like a dream game for me. However, I would like to suggest some things, and some fixes, that I have found. These are just to make the game better, and in no way, shape or form, a shade to the devs.

- In game editor doesn’t save the changes made to anything apart from the attributes.
- The main hud during a match still doesn’t show the bowler bowling.
- Again, in the main hud, it doesn’t show how many runs are needed off how many balls.
- It doesn’t let you see the player’s stats anywhere. You’d have to go on individual profile to see that. I would like to see them before selecting the XI.
- Would be nice to see a pitch and weather report before I select the playing XI.
- During a match, the bowling screen randomly sorts bowlers.
- The new sim button randomly gets unclickable sometimes.

Again this all to make the game better. I would love to see all of these fixed, and maybe add some more cool things to the game. Feel free to add yours below too, so the devs can see them and improve it further. Great job on it so far, hope the devs keep making it better. Cheers!

Few experienced this bug on launch - if it is still happening after this update, please let me know!

Any screenshots would be useful if it does!

Hi all,

Apologies that its taken me a while to send this one out!

Couple of new features that add to the depth.

In regards to bug fixes, the biggest one for me was the long-format games not allowing people to continue into the second innings or further. Hopefully this has now been fixed - if not, let me know!

2 weeks on from EA release and the game continues to go from strength to strength. Keep sending bugs and suggestions - you guys are smashing it!

Thanks for all of the support so far - great to hear so many enjoying playing the game, despite being at a stage where there's still so much to improve upon!!

Hi All,

Pleased to report that all is on track to release the patch update later today.

After a very early start, a few hours have been put in already, with 36/54 bug fixes and suggestions being implemented into the game.

Once this is completed, testing will be done to ensure that the game is stable.

This is a big update, so please do not presume every single one of the 54 will be fixed on this first attempt. Just how bugs go sometimes. Some are easy and play ball after the first attempt, some take a little longer!

Really good to get back to updating to be honest. I have really missed it over the last few days!

Huge thanks to those who have contributed in some way so far on what is Day 12 of EA. Whether it’s been one bug, one suggestion or a lot more, it’s all been greatly appreciated!
