The fake names of players, horrible glitching while playing and the poor gameplay. The players literally cannot hit any sixes. What’s so fun in that! Just boring boundaries. **Developer response:** Due to legal uncertainty over use of some player names, we have changed the naming system for Cricket Captain. This will continue for future versions.

Release it asap ### 1/5 — What? *2025-06-09* This game was great until I updated it recently and it replaced almost every player not from your team with fake names but kept the old player’s stats. I don’t have the time to go through the whole game rectifying this, so won’t be playing anymore. Ridiculous. **Developer response:** Due to legal uncertainty over use of some player names, we have changed the naming system for Cricket Captain. This will continue for future versions.

This is (no offence) a joke and I demand a refund as the game that was advertised is not what I have access to at all. ### 1/5 — Dropbox Sync not working *2025-10-09, version 1.9* Tried multiple dropbox accounts and multiple uninstalls and reinstalls but saved games just won’t sync ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-08-18* Pretty rubbish game when it could and should be great seem to get torn apart when in bat and there is nothing to change apart from expected run rate which is already at a measly 2 an over even when you have the best batsmen the game makes them look like county u9 team, the training seems to do nothing cpu batsmen move all over the place to hit the ball mine stand there letting both go through to stumps unopposed, if I’m doing something wrong someone please tell me so I can enjoy the game. ### 1/5 — English bias *2025-08-03* Game designed by English folks to favour the English team’s performance regardless of the reality of English performances. Totally biased and unfair. With the overwhelming majority of cricket fans being Indian, your developers can’t hope to have a successful app generating sufficient revenue if the game is so unfavourably skewed towards artificial English success. I will never patronise this app ever again! ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-19* Nothing good worst game ever low win percentage most of the when the batsman is in the 40s or 90s score he tries to out them worst game ever shame on you ### 1/5 — Changed names *2025-07-17* This new update is pathetic. It changed international cricketers names in ipl to random names. **Developer response:** Due to legal uncertainty over use of some player names, we have changed the naming system for Cricket Captain. This will continue for future versions. You can edit player names in the interface by selecting the pencil on the player’s profile. You can also load a file of edited names.

The whole point of the game is to simulate known players. You should warn potential buyers in your advertising. Signed Donald Bradman ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-07-02* I had this app but it kept crashing so I deleted the app to try and downloaded back up to see if that fixed the problem, but now it won’t even let me re download the game again **Developer response:** Hi, can you contact us through our support form so we can assist you: https://www.childishthings.com/support.php ### 1/5 — Update messed up teams *2025-07-02* Recent update messed players on teams; for example West Indies players are completely incorrect. 1 star game makes no sense now without the correct players **Developer response:** Due to legal uncertainty over use of some player names, we have changed the naming system for Cricket Captain.
