![]() No editor, so you can't fix what's broken in the player data.Īlso, no indicating of potential for many players in pre-season draft. Play as Australian, New South Wales team and see your team rating drop from 4.5 stars to 1 star, because ALL of your talented players go off to play in national team FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON meanwhile the state league opposition teams remain 4 and 5 stars. Invest 10k in physio and have zero physiotherapy available. ![]() If you have a recent edition, there’s not enough new content to warrant the asking price.Īfter putting over twenty hours in this game trying to understand WTH is going on, I'm left with the conclusion that there's very little going on and this game is rubbish. If you haven’t played this series before, it’s well worth a look. However, when the database is so fundamentally flawed, I cannot let it slide. 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’t spend the money. 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’t often reflect real world abilities. Whilst this simplistic style of game can be endearing, ultimately it’s 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 main difficulty with the game is the selection process, as you don’t 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. The amount of input you put into the game is quite minimal, so it feels like a casual game with a strong statistical emphasis. You don’t have any direct control over the players, so in many ways it’s sort of a cricket match simulator. 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. I will say this upfront: if you are a hardcore Cricket fan, and if you enjoy the statistical side to the game, then you may end up liking this game. Overall I would say this game was a complete waste of money and is so bad it gets boring. The batting collapses in first class cricket, combined with the impossibility of getting a test nation above 110 runs in T20 all made the game a pile of excrement. ![]() The two time T20 world champions are given the batting abilities of a primary school kid facing the onslaught on an ashes bowler. Don't pick them if you want to win a T20 game. My biggest disappointment is the West Indies. So when the game genarates these ridiculous collapses every game you can't even try again. There is no mid game save feature either, and you cannot exit the game without saving it. It even happens if I set my players to ultra-defensive and have 2 days in which to get the runs. Talking of randomly generated results- several times during first class games I have been bowled out for less than 50 despite needing less than 100 to win. I don't thtink the coding on this game is realistic or extensive in the slightest. ![]() Think of a slot machine with all the fancy lights, yet we all know the result is randomly generated. It feels like a game where 90% of the content is purely for show and doesn't actually affect anything that goes on. Firstly, the game is pretty basic and there isn't a lot to get involved in. ![]()
