Cannot sign our own contract and interactive with team members Although, it’s an amazing 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Half of the time the app doesnt open *2025-11-22, version 1.25* . ### 3/5 — Good Game but Keeps Crashing *2025-11-13, version 1.25* 5 times out of let’s say 10 games it keep crashing and kicking me out then I have to restart the whole game again it’s still a good game and I don’t even like cricket ### 3/5 — Good game but stuffed with ads *2025-07-28, version 1.25* This is a great game but after every match you have to watch annoying ads. Lots of positive points such as, great gameplay and a realistic feeling to to the game ### 5/5 — NSC *2025-06-11, version 1.25* Fun game and no need to spend money great to help develop children’s skill in cricket ### 5/5 — Really Good Potential *2025-06-11, version 1.25* A decent game just please make it so the you get out and your teamates can actually bat what i mean by so then you get out is like the best average in a 50 over game of cricket let (ODI) is about 70 and in my first season ever in this game it was like 85 ### 4/5 — Good but can get boring *2025-05-05, version 1.25* It is a good game and great to play on a road trip but it can get boring at parts what they should add is practice so your guy can practice and if you a very good bowler you may only bowl or if you are a bad bowler but good fielder you field a lot and batting could be improved a bit. Last thing there should be exbadition or online mode ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-05-02, version 1.25* I think if you hit the under of the ball you get caught but a really good game but you can’t get no power from a behind shot when you need to but a really good game ### 5/5 — Great Retro Vibes, But a Bit of a Grind *2025-04-27, version 1.25* I’m really enjoying this game! The retro look is spot on it’s colorful, nostalgic, and just feels good to play. The gameplay is really easy to pick up, even if you’re not a huge cricket fan (I’m not even a big cricket fan but I really like it anyway), which makes it super accessible. The only downside is that making money in the game is a bit tough. The starting wages are pretty low, so it can feel like a bit of a grind at times trying to improve your player. Overall though, it’s a fun and well-designed game that’s worth checking out. ### 5/5 — Amazing game very good setup *2025-04-15, version 1.25* The graphics are amazing and the setting is very realistic ### 5/5 — F *2025-03-24, version 1.25* Love the game ### 4/5 — Good but *2025-03-22, version 1.25* Don’t get me wrong this is a very good game but I think it’s just a little too much lifestyle focused. I’ve only played 4 or 5 matches for my first team and I’ve already been advised to improve my lifestyle. I really want to be able to focus more on my cricket. Good game though! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-03-08* Love it very nice game to be honest ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Energy system is terrible *2026-06-15, version 1.25* Fix your game and maybe we’ll pay for micro transactions ### 1/5 — Game doesnt even load up *2025-09-18, version 1.25* New phone ### 1/5 — Hypocrites *2025-07-16, version 1.25* Thry make you watch videos for essential rewards and then not receive anything. ### 1/5 — Broken crashes *2025-04-21, version 1.25* Broken and crashes now. Unplayable. ### 1/5 — Crash on open *2025-03-22, version 1.25* Big fan of New Star sports games. This one won’t even open. ### 1/5 — Foul nothings good about this game *2025-01-13, version 1.25* How do you hit it the opposite way of where you actually wanna hit it, my team blames me for them being dumb and stupid, silly ### 1/5 — Shocking *2024-07-31, version 1.25* Catching in the higher leagues is impossible. Catching the ball is so common and the only good thing is is you can play offline ### 1/5 — So unrealistic *2024-06-16, version 1.25* Needs to update the game cause I’m hitting max outed strikes and somehow I get caught out on the line ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-09-01, version 1.22* Awful game. Don’t waste your time, you will never do well. Waste of 3 hours ### 1/5 — Crashing *2023-06-29, version 1.22* It Crashing while I’m winning a game all of the time it’s trash don’t download ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-09-08, version 1.25* This game is one of the most addictive games I’ve ever played and it’s so good yes you can really annoy me but when you’re playing well, it’s the best feeling of your life ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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, version 1.25* 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 ### 5/5 — Really good game *2025-09-11, version 1.25* I hate cricket, which is surprising as this is such a good game, I enjoy everything about it except for the bowling sometimes. This game is really good ### 5/5 — Ok but could be better *2025-09-02, version 1.25* This game is great but if you play badly then your whole team does badly ### 5/5 — I’m good at this game *2025-07-02, version 1.25* We are ready are doing good so far --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
