First Look at iB Cricket’s Brand New Stadium 22 – VR Cricket Guy’s Honest Review

VR Cricket Guy has just dropped his latest video, and it’s a treat for anyone who loves the visual side of virtual cricket. Titled “The New iB Cricket Stadium 22 First Look with VR Cricket Guy”, the video gives fans an exclusive early tour of the newest stadium added to the popular iB Cricket VR game on Meta Quest.

Stadium 22

A Warm Welcome to Stadium 22

From the moment the video opens, it’s clear that VR Cricket Guy is genuinely excited. He has always been vocal about how much he appreciates the work the graphic designers put into each new stadium, and Stadium 22 does not disappoint. The video showcases a beautifully realised bowl-shaped ground, impressive floodlights, and a lively atmosphere that immediately feels like a big-match occasion.

One of the standout details is the inclusion of moving trains in the background — a nice touch that adds real-world character and movement to the scene. There are also drone elements flying around the stadium, giving it a modern, high-production feel. VR Cricket Guy points out these features while walking around the virtual ground, letting viewers soak in the atmosphere before the action starts.

Gameplay and Batting in the New Venue

Of course, no VR Cricket Guy video is complete without some actual gameplay. He sets up a 50-over match with the bowling difficulty cranked up to “ultra insane” and bat shield at 0%. New bats are also on display, and he wastes no time putting them through their paces.

The video captures several entertaining moments:

  • Crisp cover drives and powerful pulls
  • A few edges that go to hand
  • Some big boundaries that get the (virtual) crowd going
  • A competitive chase that sees the score reach 131 all out, with Rob Key finishing not out on 60

Even though VR Cricket Guy jokes that his batting “might not be getting any better,” the entertainment value is high. His relaxed, self-deprecating commentary makes the video feel like you’re watching a mate play rather than a polished esports broadcast.

Small but Welcome Updates

Alongside the new stadium, the video also highlights some quality-of-life improvements. The bowling stats display has been updated, making it easier to track key information during the match. These little touches show that the developers are continuing to refine the overall experience, not just adding shiny new venues.

Real-Life Inspiration?

One fun part of the video is the community guessing game. VR Cricket Guy invites viewers to comment which real-world stadium they think Stadium 22 is based on. Several features — including the shape of the ground and the presence of trains — have led some fans to suggest it could be inspired by Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Whether it is or not, the attention to detail is impressive.

Final Thoughts

What makes this video special is VR Cricket Guy’s genuine enthusiasm. He doesn’t just show off the stadium — he celebrates the craftsmanship behind it. Even when his batting doesn’t go to plan, his love for the game and the ever-improving visuals of iB Cricket shines through.

If you’re a fan of iB Cricket or simply enjoy VR sports games with beautiful environments, this first-look video is well worth your time. It’s a relaxed, entertaining watch that gives you a proper feel for what the new Stadium 22 brings to the table.

Darts VR2: Bullseye – VR Cricket Guy’s Realistic VR Darts Gameplay

I took a break from cricket development and jumped straight into Darts VR2: Bullseye in my latest video. It’s the next evolution of immersive VR darts, and I wanted to test just how realistic the throwing physics actually feel.

Let’s Play Darts in VR

Here’s my full breakdown of the gameplay, the different modes I tried, and whether this is worth picking up on Meta Quest.

First Impressions

The menus look clean and fully 360° — very polished. You’ve got several modes to choose from right away:

  • Classic 501
  • Zombie mode
  • Killstreak (currently locked in my session)
  • Around the World challenge
  • Online multiplayer and tournaments

I started with the classic 501 mode because that’s what most people know. You walk out onto a catwalk with fans cheering, stand in the red square, and throw by holding the trigger and using a natural throwing motion.

The physics feel pretty good once you get the hang of it. It’s not instant mastery though — there’s definitely a learning curve with the controller throwing mechanic. I had a few wild throws early on, but after a few legs it started clicking.

501 Mode Gameplay

I played a full leg of 501 and managed to finish on a double (as you should). The game gives clear voice announcements for your score and what you need, which helps a lot when you’re in the zone.

It’s satisfying when you start hitting the doubles and triples consistently. The venue and atmosphere are decent — nothing groundbreaking, but it does the job of making you feel like you’re in a proper darts environment.

Online Multiplayer Attempt

I queued up for a quick online match and got paired pretty fast in a pub-style setting. Unfortunately, my opponent left after just a couple of darts. That was a bit frustrating — nothing ruins the flow like waiting around for someone who’s already bailed.

Still, the fact that online works and you can jump into matches or tournaments is a big plus for longevity.

Zombie Mode – The Surprise Hit

This was the mode I was most curious (and sceptical) about… and it turned out to be genuinely fun.

You throw darts at zombies (yes, zombie dancers/strippers in this version). Headshots give you explosive darts, and the whole thing has a silly but addictive energy. I ended up playing quite a few rounds and actually enjoyed it more than I expected. It’s a nice change of pace from serious darts and perfect for when you just want to mess around and have a laugh.

My arm was definitely feeling it afterwards though — VR darts is more physical than it looks!

Around the World Challenge

I also tried the Around the World mode — hit numbers 1 through 20 in order, then finish on the bullseye, all in 21 darts or fewer.

I managed it with a score of 125 and actually found this one quite straightforward once I got into a rhythm. It’s a great mode for practising accuracy and consistency.

Overall Verdict on Darts VR2: Bullseye

Darts VR2: Bullseye is a solid, realistic VR darts experience. The throwing physics are the star of the show — once you dial in your technique it feels natural and rewarding.

What I liked:

  • Realistic dart throwing physics
  • Fun variety of modes (especially Zombie mode)
  • Good customization options (darts, flights, hats, etc.)
  • Multiple venues and atmospheres
  • Online multiplayer support (when people actually stay)

What could be better:

  • Learning curve for the throwing motion
  • Online can be hit-or-miss if opponents leave early
  • Some modes (like Killstreak) were locked during my session

If you enjoy darts and want something that feels authentic in VR, this is one of the better options available on Meta Quest right now. It works well for both casual sessions and more serious play.

VR Cricket Career Game Update 10: Finally Some Real Progress!

After 6–8 months of development (slowed down by family life and a growing real-life workload), I’ve finally been able to sit down and push forward with my custom VR Cricket Career game.

My VR Cricket Career Mode Game Update Number 10

In my latest YouTube update (Update 10), I showed some tangible progress on the village-league version of the game — and I’m genuinely excited about where it’s heading.

What’s New in This Update

Here are the main features I’ve added or improved:

  • Visible crease with guides — You can now clearly see the middle, leg, and off-stump lines to help you take guard properly.
  • Bat tap sound effects — A satisfying sound when the bat taps the ground before the bowler runs in.
  • Wicket-keeper reactions — I voiced the keeper myself! He now reacts to dot balls, singles, and doubles (boundaries are still silent for now).
  • Clearer score announcements — The game now gives much better audio feedback on the current score and updates during the innings.
  • Backend improvements — I’ve started properly tracking batting averages and added game-saving functionality so progress isn’t lost.

The current demo has you chasing 198 runs in 40 overs in a village-league setting. It’s still very much a work in progress, but you can already feel the foundations of a proper career-mode experience.

The Challenges (Because Development is Never Smooth)

Of course, there are still bugs and rough edges:

  • The league table isn’t displaying properly yet (a coding oversight I need to fix).
  • Ball physics still need work, especially when the ball hits the ground.
  • Some visual inconsistencies (all fielders currently wearing very similar kits).
  • Bowler run-ups and fielder positioning still need polishing.

These are exactly the kinds of issues I expected at this stage, and sorting them out is part of the fun (and frustration) of building something from scratch.

What’s Next for the VR Cricket Career Game

My goal is still to release the village-league version for free on the Meta Store once it’s in a polished enough state. After that I want to keep expanding the game with better sound design, more varied scenery, different fielder kits, and improved bowler mechanics.

I’m also looking into sponsorship opportunities to help cover development costs (the current sponsor placeholder is metaquestcodes.com — more on that in future updates).

This project has been a real labour of love, and Update 10 finally feels like a proper step forward after a quiet period.
