The umpiring is poor . Teams should have options of review of umpire decisions on LBW. ### 3/5 — Okay game *2021-07-20, version 1.7* It’s not a bad game it’s just a bit repetitive because I feel when you are a smaller team against a bigger team and you don’t need a big target the big team will skittle you and you lose it’s annoying ### 4/5 — Keep it up *2021-07-14* The game is a sequel to CC2019 in the International Cricket Captain series. This game is a management game and not an arcade game like WCC or Real Cricket. Many of the people don’t even known and think this game is a scam. This is a very good game if you come to know about it. However there is a problem. That is, the game feels to old, graphics are very blurry. I can’t even see whether it’s the umpire or the player. So, pls try to improve that in CC2021’s mobile version. You can try out the game and have to pay if you can, while I am just playing demo version😂😂😂 **Developer response:** Hi, you can get a network key from here: https://childishthings.com/networkkey.php If you don't get the email, please check your spam folder.

In T20 mode it is impossible to win. My batters can’t score at over 7 an over, yet the opposition can score at over 10 an over - even on easy settings. How can this be? I don’t expect to win all the ice, but to lose EVERY game. To not understand how to win. That is ridiculous. I get it when batting for longer formats, just not T20 formats. Also, what’s the deal with coaching. Why 0% effect for some players. It really doesn’t make it worth investing. Another weird one. Don’t buy this app if you’re looking to understand how to win. Buy it if you want to be frustrated and have luck (or most likely lack of it) determine the result. Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2021-05-25, version 1.7* I bought the latest version having played years ago. Frankly, an utter waste of time and money. The game engine hasn’t got the intelligence to cope with t20, hundred etc. The moment you get aggressive with the bat, you collapse. You can’t resign from certain teams, so I have a 100 team that is pointless. No search option when acquiring players and you can finish bottom of the championship and get offered international captaincy. Not sure what the developers have done in the past decade to move this game forward. ### 4/5 — Review *2021-04-12* Please add DRS system in game , ### 4/5 — Pls listen *2021-03-08, version 1.7* I’ll put it plainly add reviews it would make the game feel new and even better than it already is. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-03-06, version 1.7* Game deals you in then wants money to get full version utter con ### 4/5 — Good *2021-02-28, version 1.7* I love the game but I have to buy the new version then I can play ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2021-02-27, version 1.7* Very poor gameplay, even how much you try you keep losing every game how come other team gets over powered in every game even with same skills ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So hard and unrealistic *2025-01-02, version 1.7* I can’t win t20s on easy and on very easy I get 400 in odi’s. When there is one wicket it is usually followed up by 2 more in t20s and your managment changes nothing ### 1/5 — . *2022-05-31, version 1.7* Needs improving ### 1/5 — Graphics and I can’t help but to get out every ball *2022-01-07, version 1.7* I get out every ball and the graphics are terrible.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Read *2021-10-06, version 1.7* This games is so frustrating and rubbish I wouldn’t play it in my dreams ### 1/5 — Angry *2021-09-13, version 1.7* THE GAME IS SO DIFFICULT EVEN IN VERY EASY MODE, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN SINCE ALL THE TIME THE OPPOSITE TEAM WINS ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-08-05, version 1.7* This game at first was really good to start of with but I was playing a match and one batsmen had like 5 LBW close calls. You can see at least 3 of them were out but the umpire didn’t give it. There needs to be a way of doing a review because the batsmen went on to score over 100 runs and cost me the match ### 1/5 — Racist *2021-07-21, version 1.7* Make Pakistan team bad ### 1/5 — Such an old game *2021-07-20, version 1.7* I first played this game in 1998!! It has barely changed over the years. When comparing it to other manager style games this one is so old. The replays are windows 98 level graphics and the commentary is just as old. There is no way for you to win a game. If the game decides you are losing then nothing you do will stop that. You also have no way to motivate players or tell them off etc. No press conferences no real way effect the game other than telling them to attack or defend which does no good anyway. Come on developers give the cricket fans a game that rivals other sports management games. ### 1/5 — Why? *2021-07-13* There is no way you can defeat India ### 1/5 — Flawed beyond belief *2021-06-30, version 1.7* Don’t waste your money. So many unrealistic things happen in this game. 500 runs scored in one day of a test. You’ll never win a one day game batting second chasing anything over 250. Bowlers going at 7 an over in a test. Unable to ever bat for a draw. Played 100 tests with 1 draw!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Problem in purchase the game *2021-08-28* I am unable to purchase this game as my card doesnt support apple wallet/apple payment. Any other option? ### 5/5 — Drs *2021-07-16* Drs required in games ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-06-17, version 1.7* Astonishing attention to detail ### 5/5 — helo *2021-04-04* please this game will be change into real game. this game graphic is better than other cricket game.this game is super . ### 5/5 — Have loved this game for years! *2021-04-03, version 1.7* I love this game, it is totally addictive and very detailed for an app game. I would love to see a few tweaks in the next version such as; 1) international A teams and tours to allow you to pick a 2nd development squad 2) the ability to switch international teams if you’ve been successful such as starting with Bangladesh and working your way up 3) seeing squads of new potential teams before confirming a new role ### 5/5 — IPL Update???? *2021-03-07, version 1.7* Now that they have the squads for the IPL could you please launch them into the games? ### 5/5 — It’s fantastic and enjoyable for cricket fans *2021-02-28* Have had this game since 2015 version. I would love for these updates to come though: 1) Addition of Women’s Cricket 2) Options of playing Tournaments with Retired Players. 3) More of the special series, as compared to just the ashes, having a variety would be appreciated I really enjoy this, so please do keep updating ### 5/5 — Free version *2021-02-03* Great game plz make it free ### 5/5 — No Muzarabani?? *2021-01-30, version 1.5* Love the game but I can’t select Muzarabani to the Zimbabwe team, yet he is their best bowler. Is this a bug?? Frustrating as Zimbabwe’s bowling is pretty weak. ### 5/5 — Quality *2021-01-16, version 1.5* If you love cricket and stats then this is the best game on the App Store --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
