Some more historical series would be useful current lot is not good enough

Great but…

I think this is such a good game. I really enjoyed playing it. But why the hell do I have to pay to carry on. It’s really annoying cause I thought this was a great game and now I can’t play it cause I can only play 6 games before it’s all over

Zero player detail

Whilst they’re happy to provide all manner of insight into player tendencies, historical data and the suchlike, there is zero information as to the player abilities. I’m having to loosely base it off of salaries, as I have nothing else to go on. Given that this is standard across every other sports game I’ve ever played, this makes this game wholly inaccessible.

Bad fielding

The game is pretty fun however the fielding is horrendous and the graphics are pretty bad.

awful game

simple opposition for all 5 games a played got over 400 runs my team with root malan brooks lyth would get out for 150

Convenient change in difficulty when buying the full version

Loved the free version so much that I payed for the full version. Not quite sure why but the game becomes unplayably hard even on easy mode once full game is purchased. Giving me second thoughts about buying now

Make It Free

Please make it free. Top tier game if it is free.

International Squad Selection

It would be awesome if the game allowed the "coach" of the National team to select players in the national pool (like Football Manager and FIFA type games), instead of just selecting from those that have played international games. And for the AI to select based of those topping the runs & wicket charts to be called up, not random players that have bad stats to be selected for national team. It is frustrating to have your players score runs season after season and never being called up to play internationally.

Where are the classic series?

The last couple of editions have omitted classic Test Series from yesteryear. Would not mind it being reinstated in Cricket Captain 24.

Unrealistic

Bought the game for 4 consecutive years but I won’t again, nothing changes year after year and the scoring rates of opposition in one day and t20 matches are ridiculous and unrealistic. I understand it is a small dev team but the game is no where near good enough for such a large price (as AppStore games go) to be put on it

Poor Poor Game, Nonsensical

No rhyme or rythm to the game, the patterns of wickets are completely predictable and nonsensical, completely rigged and no way to have any influence on a win or loss.

The same game repackaged

… comes out every year

Paying 20 dollers for what was good untill you have to pay to carry on

I kinda just rambled and wrote down some ideas

Things I’d like to see: Improved bowler rotations, especially in white-ball cricket. Issues with CPU bowling rotations: In one-day matches, the CPU often bowls a bowler for 10 consecutive overs, which is unrealistic. The rotation of three bowlers simultaneously, as seen in Mark Wood, Harry Brook, and Adil Rashid example, doesn't reflect real cricket. Spinners are rarely bowled in later overs of white-ball matches, affecting realism. In red-ball cricket, the CPU hesitates to bowl spin, even on spinning pitches. Fast bowlers are not rested leading into the second new ball, and there's confusion between part-timers and frontline bowlers, like Matthew Kuhnemann and Mitchell Swepson in a first-class game. How to fix: Implement pre-determined bowling rotations, improve CPU intelligence, and add rules for the CPU. Different rotations for various bowler combinations, with set rules for the white-ball format (e.g., not bowling the 1st and second over bowler between overs 65 and 80). Feature I’d like to see: Introduce bowler archetypes similar to batting aggression. Bowler archetypes could include: Pace Bowler Archetypes: Swing/Seam: More effective with the new ball (e.g., James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Jason Behrendorff). Death Bowler: Effective in all overs, harder to hit during death overs, excels at following plans (e.g., Chris Jordan, Tom Curran, Andrew Tye). Speedster: Slightly more effective with the new ball, best in short spells in red-ball cricket, can be expensive in white-ball cricket (e.g., Mark Wood, Shaun Tait, Alzzari Joseph). Spin Bowler Archetypes: Mystery Spinner: Spins the ball both ways, effective against batsmen with a strong pace bowling preference (e.g., Mujeeb Ur Rahman). Tweaker: Spins the ball significantly more than other spinners (e.g., Shane Warne). These archetypes could be combined (e.g., Mitchell Starc falling under both speedster and swing/seam bowler archetypes).

Also, make normal mode normal or change the name to hard. I’m convinced it’s physically impossible to win a t20 on normal difficulty.

Money

It is a great game but you have to pay to keep playing which is kind of ridiculous

A request for more customisation options

Hello , I think the game is fantastic but I would love the ability to create my own leagues and tournaments too add to career mode with my own created players to truly personalise my playing experience. I would also like to see the ability to completely remove formats from certain career modes so they are not played at all across the board if I don’t want to play a certain format. My third request is that we are able to control associate nations and try to gain test status in career mode. Thank you.

Don’t waste your money

Almost feels as though they lure you in for the free trial, playing good cricket then you buy it and all that changes. Trying to play a defensive batting strategy and my players are playing reverse scoop shots, every time it seems I’m just about to get back into a match, for example having got to 200-0 then proceed to go 130-9 as if the pitch and weather has changed instantly. It’s unrealistic. Loads of potential but unplayable in its current state, and that’s without even going into detail for the white ball modes, even worse. Wish I could get a refund.

When does Cricket Captain 2024 come out ?

I wish it was free

At the moment I give this game a 1 star because it’s not free but it is a great I would give this game 5 stars if it was free I really wish I can play it but sadly it’s not free

Bazball Ruined This Game

Played this game since Ps1, noticed it in every game u play even if it’s Ireland vs Zim. Bowlers running at 8 an over in test matches is ridiculously. Even England in real life only did that againts Pakistan’s. tested the gam Aust vs India in test champs on every settin ve to norm. Hazelwood went for at best 6 an over and Lyon at best 8s. Against India in England is a joke at best. I know it’s a Pom making this game but having a aust team batting at three stars with Smith and Marnus top 5 test, and head, Warner, uzzie top 30 is a joke.

Also 6 youth players for aust cricket a year. There is a minimum 11 coming from each state time to up Aussie youth being that the aussies are the best in the world .
