### 5/5 — What I think about NSC

*2026-07-27, version 1.25*

It’s so realistic and I love it and I just downloaded it yesterday and the best part about it is when you are the fielder

### 5/5 — To good!

*2026-07-20, version 1.25*

OMG Best game for cricket loving kids first of all the graphics make it seem so realistic.
Love it definitely must play game

### 1/5 — Energy system is terrible

*2026-06-15, version 1.25*

Fix your game and maybe we’ll pay for micro transactions

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2026-05-06, version 1.25*

One of the best games I have played amazing especially if you are a cricket fan or player and a good game to just sit and play.

### 4/5 — Good Game but....

*2026-03-28*

Good game but we cannot see ourselves bowl and field.

Cannot sign our own contract and interactive with team members

Although, it’s an amazing game

### 5/5 — Great cricket game.

*2026-03-17, version 1.25*

You can outplay the price to play easily and it’s a good game, reminds me of an older era game.

### 3/5 — I came back to this after years

*2026-01-26, version 1.25*

I decided to check this out again after years (I still like NSS). Anyway, still not enough batting which is the only real fun part. It would be great if this was tweaked.

### 5/5 — Add test matches

*2026-01-17, version 1.25*

Add test matches when international

### 5/5 — Good game but something needs fixing

*2026-01-13*

I keep getting caught out by the AI fielders even tho the ball is hit over the boundary which in real life cricket if the ball is hit over the boundary and is caught it still counts as 6 unless the fielder throws it back in and catches it again or a teammate catches it after it’s thrown back in

### 4/5 — batting problem

*2025-12-26, version 1.25*

it’s a really good game but if you hit the ball even a little bit to the side of the ball then you automatically get caught out which is really annoying and unrealistic but other then that it’s a super fun game and i have been playing it for ages now.
