There are two core aspects to the game: selection of your team, and then setting fields and managing how aggressive your bowlers and batsmen are during the games themselves. You don\u2019t have any direct control over the players, so in many ways it\u2019s sort of a cricket match simulator. The amount of input you put into the game is quite minimal, so it feels like a casual game with a strong statistical emphasis. The main difficulty with the game is the selection process, as you don\u2019t have access to any attributes, aside from their statistical records in previous matches, which like a real cricket selector means you either have to choose based on gut instinct, or record over a period of time.Whilst this simplistic style of game can be endearing, ultimately it\u2019s hard to recommend at this price, as the game has not fundamentally changed in over 15 years, and the incremental changes are hardly revolutionary. The graphics and UI are awful. The lack of a player editor to fix basic errors in details and ability means that to seasoned cricket fans the database will frustrate, as the game outside of England is not well scouted or balanced and don\u2019t often reflect real world abilities. I understand the decision not to include editor is because the game is so similar to previous editions; fans would be able to update them themselves and wouldn\u2019t spend the money. However, when the database is so fundamentally flawed, I cannot let it slide.If you haven\u2019t played this series before, it\u2019s well worth a look. If you have a recent edition, there\u2019s not enough new content to warrant the asking price.. This is a terrific game and great value for money on Steam. The essence of the game is its exceptional match engine which is sophisitcated enough to create a huge variety of results and outcomes. It is especially good at replicating the real life twists and turns of test match or 4 day cricket. If you are a cricket fan there is a huge amount of gameplay on offer here. The non-match management is not quite so good - aspects like training and player regeneration, for example, are a little limiting. But its clear that small improvements are being made with each edition of the game and the maintenance of the player database is very good with regular updates to reflect real-life changes or community input. The game doesn't have the range of features or aesthetics of well-resourced series like Football Manager but in terms of realistic simulation of the actual sport it does very well for itself.. My relationship with the Cricket Captain series over the last 15 years has been love and hate but this year the "developers" have excelled themselves, apparently adding nothing new to the series, living up to their growing reputation as pushers of old hack for our hard earned cash.Remember the good old days of International Cricket Captain? The series used to offer a wealth of management stats and gameplay longevity. The latest edition of Cricket Captain offers none of this.I was a sucker and paid \u00a319.99 for what appears to be a 'tweaked' edition of Cricket Captain 2013. My advice is stay well clear of this game and not become Childish Thing's next sucker.. This is one of those games I find immensely frustrating to play, but also highly addictive. I am a huge cricket fan, and the truth is there is no alternative out there for in-depth, strategy or management games for the sport. If you're a fan and want to give it a spin then go for it, but wait for a sale and get it at a low price, because despite the experience and longevity of the franchise the game is bare-bones.I would love to reach out to the developers and implore them to make changes for the next iteration, as the base game is enjoyable but in drastic need of more creative input! All we've seen in terms of additions in recent years has been the inclusion of new leagues. This is fine, but although diversifying the gameplay, does little to improve the experience.None of these appear hard to implement, as other sport management sims have been doing it for decades, but could we please look to include...1) an actual career mode, where you can change teams, move up the 'ladder' and perhaps take jobs in different countries.2) some kind of basic player 'stats' system, so I can actually tell if my player is talented, notably with youth players, whose potential seems entirely arbitrary.3) the ability to hire coaches, or a far more transparent coaching system that allows you to know how and when your players are improving.These additions really are important for giving a player a sense that they are part of a management structure that is affecting the game world. They appear fairly minor changes that for me would make this game far easier to recommend, and would guarantee repeat custom.. Year in, year out its the same game they keep on releasing for the past 10 years, same macth engine, and same annoying features Like1.Always its a direct hit for runouts and it hasnt been chnaged for the last 10 years2.Whenever the batsman comes down then wicket its stumped (common change it already)3. Outfield catches are always high the air, never low.4. Single run runouts are always the same, it goes to forward short leg and the bastman runs and he is out. lol5. Player database is not realistic, crap players low end players are world class and good players rarely play well. The scouting system of the developers are very bad. If you need help with the player database ask the users, let them you you accurate stats, the people who actually follo domestic cricket of their country.6. Seriously stop milking money from the 10 year old match engine and just updating inaccurate player database every year and asking people to for money.. Awesome game! I love the new camera controls. You can zoom out and admire the stadium. Also T20 games are more realistic that previous releases.. International Cricket Captian has always been a franchise that people quick to criticise for not adding in new features in their new editions. This game has numerous improvements and new features to keep cricket lovers pleased for hours on end. If you have ever thought about getting it but put off by people saying it's not good enough, I tell you that if you truly want to manage a cricket team, this is the right game for you.. Terrible game. Shots that go to random places on the pitch that bear no relation to the shot played (cutting full length balls from spinners for 6 for example). Outfielders that don't move thus rendering sweepers pointless. When batting your batsmen will do anything but the task you ask of them....and finally beyond the naked stats, badly researched (at least speaking as a Glamorgan fan). Seemingly batting styles have just been allocated at random.
