I only had a one hour window to review the latest 2024 update from iB Cricket on the Meta Quest 3. I did my berst to give an overview of as many new featured and new details as I could in that time.
The iB Cricket 2024 update brings several noteworthy features and improvements, with the standout being the impressive new stats options. These enhanced statistics provide a deeper, more detailed analysis during the game and matches, which is a significant upgrade and enhances the overall gameplay experience.
One of the best aspects of this update is that the bowling and batting physics have remained consistent. This means that players won’t have to adjust their playing style to accommodate any new mechanics, allowing for a seamless transition from previous versions.

However, the bat-on-ball sound effects remain a major disappointment. Despite the game’s other impressive details, the sound effects have not reached the expected quality, which detracts from the immersive experience that the game aims to provide.
On a positive note, there are subtle yet noticeable changes in the bowlers’ run-ups, fielders’ body movements, and fielding positions. These small tweaks contribute to a more realistic and dynamic gameplay environment, enhancing the overall feel of the matches.
While I believe I have covered the main new features, I do wish I had more time to fully explore the update. A longer play session would have allowed me to get a better grasp of all the changes and improvements implemented in this version of iB Cricket. Nonetheless, the 2024 update shows promising advancements, even if there are still areas that need refinement.
