The Ashes and the world's biggest tournaments
The oldest rivalry in cricket gets its own treatment here. Play the Ashes tour as a single player or as Australia or England, with cutscenes, press conferences and team training sessions carrying the story of the series along, and commentary written specifically for it. Beyond that, the licensed roster is broad: Australia, England, West Indies, New Zealand, Ireland and more, plus the KFC BBL and Weber WBBL, The Hundred, the Caribbean Premier League and, for the first time in the series, professional Indian T20 teams. Every match happens in one of over 50 detailed official stadiums, and more than 300 players carry their real faces, scanned with photogrammetry. You line up a Test at Lord's or a T20 in Ahmedabad, and the ground, the kit and the crowd are all there.
Career mode: from club cricketer to the big stage
You start small, as a club player with a grind ahead, and work your way toward international selection. The decisions are yours: chase a career as a short-form specialist, commit to the Test side, or try to balance both formats on the way up. Along the way you develop your skills and grow a fan base, and the game gives you real control over which path your player takes. Career mode is the feature many who play it point to first, and there is a customizable grassroots start if you would rather begin somewhere humbler than the professional circuit. It is a long road, and the satisfaction comes from the milestones: a first century at club level means something when you know what it took to get there.
Play together, on the couch or across the world
Cricket is a shared sport, and the game is built for that. Up to four players can take a match on locally, passing the controller in the same room, or you can team up and face off online. Cross platform play means the friend on another system is still a lobby away, and the competition is real: this is a game about beating other people, where timing, reading the bowler and placing your field decide the result. The Academy rounds it out, letting you create and share stadiums, players, teams and more across platforms, so your group can fill out a whole custom competition together. One match turns into an evening, and one evening turns into a series.
Can you play it solo?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. The Ashes tour can be played as a single player, and career mode is built around one player's journey from club cricket to internationals, so there is plenty here without ever touching the multiplayer. That said, the online and local multiplayer are there when you want them, and the game is fully cross platform, so solo players can step into matches against others whenever the mood strikes.
What should you know before picking it up?
Honesty first: the fielding AI is the part most often called out, with fielders sometimes slow to attack the ball or let boundaries slip past, and odd moments that can break the flow of a match. People who love it tend to be cricket fans who accept the rough edges and play for the core of batting, bowling and career progression, which is genuinely satisfying when a plan comes off. If flawless polish matters more to you than the sport itself, go in knowing that.
Can you make your own teams and stadiums?
Yes, through the Academy. You can create and share custom content across platforms, including stadiums, players and teams, and it all works across different systems, so a creation made on one platform can be used on another. If you want to recreate your local club or build a fantasy squad, the tools are there and the community's creations are shared too.
