Cricket Captain 2014

I've been playing this for years now, great game. This is the only real cricket simulation game that is worth playing. Some people have reviews saying they had technical issues, if you do recommend goin to childish thing's forums as the devs regularly help sort out any issues there, if you have trouble with tactics it's also worth checking their forums as some people have posted help there too.

If you have played any of the Cricket Captain games that came before this one then you have no need to buy this. Appart form updated player rosters and one or two more differnt options when it comes to what type of game you want to play, this game is exactlly like all the CC i have ever see. No new animations, no new commentry, the commentator is still an idiot and the the creators still do not understand the LBW rule. Over all not a bad game, but if you want something new you will be disapointed.

Good game. Love the new layout of the game

Great game again by the team, doesn't take a lot to run and great stats system with plenty of teams to pick from. Only problem I have was the graphics haven't been updated. This wasn't a large problem for me as I rather enjoy the stats and captaining side to it so it doesn't bother me but it's just something to take into account. If you love cricket and always wanted a solid Cricket Managering game then this is for you.

Best version so far absolutely love it!!!!!!!!

Cricket managment games is the niche of games. This one i've enjoyed for years. I like the update, there are always improvements and the developers are open about this. Good game and format.

This is going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you Cricket Captain. I was a huge fan of the ICC series growing up, loved playing it every time a new version would come out, I think I began in 1996 or so, whenever the first game came out. So when I learnt that Cricket Captain was coming to Steam naturally I was excited. Playing the game brought back all those nostalgic feelings of my youth but after an hour or so something occured to me and made me realize just why I had that feeling It's the same f***ing game. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that as like "oh it's nostalgic and a great throwback" I mean the same game as in nothing's changing, sure the graphics have SLIGHTLY improved and there are a few new quirks like Hawkeye but it's the same animations, the same featureless blobs in what should be players and the same looking screeens between bits of footage. Not only that, the AI has somehow gotten WORSE in this iteration. For all the illusion of control you have your batsmen have all of two states of play, "Two Runs an Over" or "Swing at everything like your 5 year old brother in the backyard". Meanwhile the opposing AI has no trouble whatsoever going merrily at 4, 5, 6 runs an over regardless of what fields and what agression you have set on your bowling. The game engine is a mess, the Australian career mode is a joke and the same animations that were in the game in 1999 are here in 2014. Do NOT buy this game. For the love of god make Childish Things get their ♥♥♥♥ together. This game is an abomination on all mankind. If you want a good cricket management game buy Cricket Coach, it has no graphics or commentary to speak of but at least that has an excuse (It's made by a one man development team). There's no excuse for this. ♥♥♥♥ this game. ♥♥♥♥ the developers and ♥♥♥♥ you Cricket Captain for making me love you in the first place

It can come across as fairly simplistic compared to FM, for example, but considering the budget and the limited man power dev team have, it's an excellent game. The match engine is refined every year and the forums allow for players to be emulated realistically. The result is a very realistic cricket world. If at all possible though, I'd love the addition of more playable leagues around the world as well as being able to play as Associate Nations.

I really love this game. Having never played a cricket management game or any of this games predecessors I have suddenly realised what I've been missing! Absolutely great AI, every game is a challenge, and developing and selecting your players is a blast. 50 hours on record, and I've barely scratched the surface. Great game!

Would love to be able to play the game, Sadly I have been unable to play it as it always crashes on the main menu screen. Apparently people are working to correct this, so an update would be apppreciated to those waiting like me. At this point I am not able to recommend to anyone.
