JUST BAT (VR CRICKET)

[b]I played this on the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers and there were no issues. [/b]So I'm in the USA and I know next to nothing about Cricket. Meaning, I know it looks like baseball, but other than that I have no idea what's going on in a cricket game. I was flummoxed by why the ball was going behind me even though I was hitting it straight on. Then I took a good look at my bat and realized I had it facing the wrong way. I did hit some homeruns, but usually I was lucky to even hit the ball. Cricket definitely has a higher difficulty curve than baseball (even though I'm sure a 100 mph is harder to hit than anything in Cricket). The reason for the higher difficulty is because you have to guess at where the ball will bounce. You are hitting the ball after the pitcher bounces it off the ground and you have to notice the way it was pitched to be able to correctly guess where it's headed. So a lot of the time I was whiffing completely. A lot of ground balls that hardly went anywhere. Don't even talk to me abut the scoring, I have no idea. The game is also very barebones and lackluster in the graphics department. Still, I had some moments of fun. And I learned somet…

It seems like a fun game but I was a bit dissapointed with how difficult it seemed to hit the ball, the speed measurements do not feel accurate .. and I found a trick to hit sixes and fours on every ball by pausing the game mid-delivery.

This game is pretty rubbish. The bowling action is really terrible and is also the same for every type of bowling. The wickets are TINY (don't even go above knee level for me), this also means that the bounce the ball gets is super low, which makes it pretty hard to hit anything. The hit power is also very inconsistent, some light taps go miles whereas some massive swings get nothing. Also there's no calls for wides, which means you lose a ball on the 5 over challenge for nothing when a wide is bowled. Overall its fine for a dollar, but if you want a good VR cricket experience you're better off buying Cricket Club VR or IB Cricket for a bit more cash.

Meh, good for the price.

Its quality. Few more options and polish will be great. Even the current form its well worth getting!

Really enjoying it so far. Intersted to see future updates. Id like to see scenarios added in it e.g. requiring a set number of runs with two wickets remaing. Having more fun with this then king of spin
