But it should not be at the expense of enjoyment of playing the game itself. This balance is very tough to manage and easy for developers to go overboard with either ads or payment related boosts. Some people just want to coast through the game and enjoy playing it. Unfortunately the system of getting and improving characters and items is extremely slow in this game. No matter how good the game is, I will not pay if I feel I am being short handed on the experience. Please fix this, you will end up with happier players who pay more willingly, rather than avoid paying even for justified cases out of spite or anger. ### 3/5 — Decent game : uninstalled it though *2022-01-10, version 2.0.1* Happened to me a couple of times. Some WiFi issue pops up even though everything is working fine while starting the match. Lost a lot of coins due to this. Neither have the patience nor the time to make the entire progress again. I am sure as the game would have progressed, it would have gotten tougher in order to make me buy stuff but didn’t reach that point. Good game overall but lost all the excitement when my entire winning amount was drained because of this very unusual network problem. ### 3/5 — Decent game with some stupid tricks *2021-10-24, version 1.7.21* Bowlers which r ear marked for certain kind of bowling do exactly the opposite. One or two balls is ok but u r left second guessing all the time. Same thing with bats and grading of players. Needs a clean up else won’t play much. ### 3/5 — Good until it gets greedy and traps you *2021-09-10, version 1.7.18* Yes, this is by far the best cricket game on the App Store and has far superior graphics and gameplay. All in all a very addictive game. But it’s only fun until it doesn’t get greedy. One you get to advance levels, it keeps pitching you against players that have resources that are a lot superior to yours and makes you crave for better bats and better bowlers. Just so that you are forced to shell more money. The cards that are awarded in the kit bags are also tricked. They somehow are for bowlers/bats that you won’t be using and that way you are enticed to buy more stuff. I understand that is how they make money and they need to keep you challenged but it goes far beyond the acceptable limit in some time. A great game but they got a bit too greedy I suppose might stop playing this. Also, I don’t know if I am competing against a human all the time or AI. Feels dubious at times. ### 2/5 — Brilliant gameplay everything else pathetic *2021-05-26, version 1.7.11* It takes crazy time to progress through the game and matching players with trophies is just illogical. I, having played like 10 matches prior to this got matched with a guy in Galle having inswing bowlers and supersonic bat...what nonsense is this? ### 3/5 — Chat button? *2021-03-11, version 1.7.6* Chat button is not showing up, would you be able to fix it? ### 3/5 — Latest updates disappointing 😔 *2020-09-08, version 1.6.7* I got my coins got robbed away whenever I get a call. It doesn’t matter even if I reject the call and still it takes away my coins. Also, when I loose connection it does the same. Not happy at all!! ### 2/5 — Disconnect bug *2020-08-31, version 1.6.7* The latest ’bug fix’, which is supposed to penalize players who disconnect to escape from a disadvantaged position, fails to distinguish between an internet failure vs actually disconnecting. I lost 30k coins when I tried to play at London, got disconnected and penalized for disconnecting, which I didn’t do Also, when I won a game at Sydney, I won 10k instead of 20k. Isn’t it winner take all? ### 3/5 — Loved the game until... *2020-06-13, version 1.5.8* This is a great cricket game, but once I had worked out the game and grew to enjoy it, I kept being placed against players that had advanced bowlers that were WAY beyond the skill of the levels I was playing. This quickly drained all of my resources and forced me to keep watching ads or purchasing additional coins to even keep playing. Too bad, as I really enjoyed it for a while. ### 3/5 — Great game to play *2020-05-22, version 1.5.7* It’s a great game to play with your friends and random people but it has some bug which needs to be fixed. When playing with someone and shows the opponent but then before entering the game it keeps loading. Sometime you’ve to quit the game and reopen o play a private match with friends. Also there’s only 1 option to play with friends so there should be another option to increase the amount. Overall it’s a good game just fix those bugs please. ### 2/5 — They just want your money *2020-05-12, version 1.5.4* Didn’t enjoy this game, got logged out very often on a good WiFi signal making me lose coins and games, everything seems to be catered to spending money on this app. Very disappointed in stick sports, normally that have created my favorite games since my childhood ### 2/5 — Unnecessary game *2020-05-01, version 1.5.2* This game does not work currently... when you open the application 1st game definitely you will be the winner ... when you go on playing you will be loosing the game definitely..... should have some probability if one person with 45 points should play with either 55 points person or 40 points person First game definitely you will play with 45 to 55 points guy from 2nd game you will play with 130 points or 100 points person .... if I have 45 points it doesn’t make any sense playing with 130 points person definitely he will have high probability of winning because he will have more powers in bat.... ### 3/5 — Good games but few issues. *2020-04-05, version 1.4.7* Couple of drawbacks. It hangs and sometimes tells you you don’t have an internet while you are already connected to one. Other is like clash royale which is also PvP game. Most likely your match is against the player who has the same standing as you in terms of trophies but in this game you could have 20 trophies and you will be playing against a player who has 55 so it’s really hard to compete. ### 2/5 — Facebook Connect *2020-04-04, version 1.4.7* I cannot find most of my facebook friends in game eventhough their game is also connected to facebook. They can see me online but when they request to play the request is automatically declined whereas i cannot even de the request in game. Kindly fix this issue. Also a suggestion is to make a room or something like in Pubg where we can make our own tournament with our friends ### 2/5 — Great game. Needs work. *2020-04-02, version 1.4.7* The graphics are great. The game itself though needs a lot of work. The matchmaking is very bizarre. People lose their incentive to play. The rewards are not enough for upgrades. If you’d like people to invest time in your game, you’re going to want to incentivize better. Take a few of the other multiplayer games as an example. The upgrades are not comparable easily and are not worth the huge amounts of money you’ll have to spend to acquire the most minimal upgrades. ### 4/5 — Great online cricket game with a flaw *2020-02-13, version 1.4.1* I hope the developers read this review and try to do something about it. I have loved all variations of your stick cricket games and you guys are an absolute best at it. However, with this current game type, once an opponent player knows by the end of the second over that theyve almost lost the game, they just quit the application. On my side of the game, it shows up as connection issue with them or me and then I end up losing my progress in the match, the runs I scored as well as the money I bet on the win. ** My kind request is to please give a default win to the player who didn't quit his app and give a default loss to the player who quit the app or had connection issues because this practice is creating a unfair situation and some players are using this for their advantage*** ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disadvantage for iOS 15 *2021-10-06, version 1.7.19* Game mechanics are gone to the wind on iOS 15. Bowling doesn’t sync up with what is shown in real-time. When the ball is bowled, it appears to be within the striking distance visually but the ball behaves as it was far too short from the batting crease and batter can’t time it properly. Fix this glitches please…. It is unplayable. ### 1/5 — Uh *2021-05-26, version 1.7.11* No tutorial? I have no idea how to play. The game starts by just throwing you directly into a live match with no training, no menu, no pause so I could at least look at a control scheme. I tried to play it anyway but I still couldn't figure it out. It kept saying too early? What is it taking about? And wrong direction? What direction than? The game doesn't show you how to play. It's Horrible. I deleted it. ### 1/5 — Good Game Marred with unrealistic coin rewards *2020-10-16, version 1.6.9* This is a good game, however coin rewards are bad to upgrading a card. Coin rewards that can be earned is anywhere between 15 and 200 coins where as to upgrade a good card is 15,000+. Wonder how many players Purchase coins. Stick Cricket developers understand this, your game will be more popular if you have a good parity between coin rewards and card upgrades. The way it is set up right now shows your GREED all the way. ### 1/5 — Not a best app *2020-08-30, version 1.6.7* I have been playing this game since two month and I came across the poor performance and optimization of the game. For example, if some guest is playing a weekly challenge and lost in a sequence, but if some real player playing and have won sequence of games and when checked in interval gap the virtual or the guest player would be still on top. I observe few more flaws about the bowling choices seems to be illogical. Also the bat power is a biggest flaw and with stadiums it is not so great about the appearance making people to contradict the colors. I have observed a bug about the service problem where I am using a powerful internet source suddenly says no coverage and make to lose. I couldn’t give much less rating than this, because this is least I can see. In my opinion it must be a healthy competition if someone plays the leagues but each and every time the virtual players are popped up on the top which is a worst part to spend more money to get upgrade. To be honest there is no way that a real player has any importance. Still it is a non sense and the developer states get the new update. Hope they were lacking or frying their brains for how to steal the money from customer’s. Asking people to contact the customer service executives, shame of you guys. Couldn’t make it live properly and designed a bot app. Thank you ### 1/5 — Most of them are bots *2020-07-10, version 1.6.1* Most of the time i am getting bots. How do I know it? Because by chance i get a real player it takes sometime to load. Also real players usually communicate with chat. Bots gets selected fast. Please remove bot players or have to report this app as fake. If no players available its still fine but stop bot games. Most if the time you loose to a bot. M ### 1/5 — Advertisement issue *2020-04-26, version 1.5.0* Dear developers I download game few months later I m so attached liked your stick cricket live game but the major problem before update advertisement nd now developer after update same issue advertisement ! Nd now big big issue now time 1 match finish then advertisement start or finish but no return game start ! Again start the game new start for game icon!thats why I’m quit the game uninstalled! Sorry ### 1/5 — Two issues with latest update *2020-04-26, version 1.5.0* 1) The app doesn’t connect on mobile network. Works on wifi tho 2) Once I use wifi to connect, it doesn’t show my friends. I reconnected FB and no result Please, fix these issues ASAP. Been a fan of this app and I was happy that I could play with my friends during this lockdown. ### 1/5 — Nth time app force closes after winning the match *2020-02-16, version 1.4.1* Just now I thought I won the match ... last ball I hit 6 opponent hit 4 my score 65 opponents score 64 .... game was struck for almost a minute (was hoping to see the winning amount but no luck) and All of a sudden I saw my home screen... I’ve reopened the app to check ... lost my trophies ...lost the coins... hate this kind of situation.. please fix this.. you can check how I use your app to move up my game .. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-02-10, version 1.4.1* There are so many bugs in this game. while playing this game my left and right controllers gets stuck sometimes which causes me to lose the games. Also no matter where I am I always get “No Internet Connection”. I also play other online game and I never had no issues with them. This game also lags a lot between the overs. This really pisses me off. ### 1/5 — Recent updated messed it all up *2019-12-13, version 1.3.3* The game worked perfectly until the recent update today. Now it just loses connection to the server after the first over and gets stuck at the bowler selection screen. On top of that, it still takes away the coins when it can’t connect and I have to shut it down after waiting sometime. It worked fine up till now and I never had connection problem on WiFi or network. Even right now I have all 5 bars for 4g let network and a strong WiFi connection but it keeps losing connection after the 1st over on both WiFi and network ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Fun game, but the update needs attention *2021-10-19, version 1.7.20* I’ve played this game for some time, but the new update keeps bombing out when I try and launch the app. It takes a few tries before it actually works again. ### 5/5 — App crashes upon opening it. Please fix it ASAP *2021-07-06, version 1.7.14* Very good game. It teaches you patience and you just have to wait for your moment. But, it keeps on crashing when I open this from yesterday. Problem is : I am having 4170 points and haven’t linked my account. If I uninstall and reinstall, I might lose the progress I made in this app 😢 ### 5/5 — Rankings *2021-01-10, version 1.7.2* There is an issue with rankings. It seems they are fake. For example, i am playing in one league and it’s showing me as #1. My friend in the same league with same ending time and more coins than me is not even on the list. Please make this game real, with real players. It is a good game but fake AI stuff makes people stop playing. Also, You should add a Pakistan stadium to the list. ### 5/5 — Major issues *2020-02-02, version 1.4.1* Great game but if you start buying you wont be able to play, game hangs exactly in final over and you loose it happens constantly until u buy some and it will be good for a week and then it starts again So i would say if its a bug or server issues or anything fix it or i have to say that there is something fishy ### 5/5 — Nice concept, best cricket game. *2019-11-15, version 1.3.1* Amazing graphics, well designed cricket game, the best part is it let’s u play against live players and not just system like in other games. Good Job guys 👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2019-09-22, version 1.2.1* Few things can make it even better such as: - Ability to choose swing type on every ball - Rewards on hitting six 6s in an over - Margin of defeat should be rewarding as well - Overall player rank and leagues - AI fielders for catching - Negative scores should be not allowed once the player reaches 0. It takes away the fiero. - Ability to make a comeback after a bad over ### 5/5 — Love this Game, Very Addictive! *2019-08-15, version 1.1.0* Love the game, concept, and recent updates! That would be great and more fun if we can play multiple (for example “play another match” or “play best of 3” with the same opponent team or player. Overall, it’s really a great game! ### 5/5 — Tournament *2019-07-27, version 1.0.8* Great game, but I feel like there should be a tournament too. Like a knockout tournament. Winner gets kit bag, coins, trophies. Would be very fun. Because people who get all the trophies from each type of stadium have nothing to win for. It’s like a dead rubber. They only lose trophies, but don’t get more. Tournament would be really fun!!! ### 4/5 — Great gameplay but needs some improvement! *2022-11-20, version 2.0.11* Pros: I have been playing this game for a while now. Splendid gameplay, good graphics and love how fast the game is. Furthermore, it’s quite stable, doesn’t crash or freeze. The characters are also well defined and add a good dimension to the gameplay. Cons: The biggest drawback I see is once your opponent leave/quits/kicked out by network, you have to continue playing the game until the end. If it’s established the opponent can’t join back or continue, the player in the game should be declared as a winner right away or should be given a choice to continue or not as oppose to see you entire 3 overs. Secondly, to add more challenge to the game, the number of times you get out should be limited e.g. Twice/over or 5 times in total. ### 4/5 — 👍🏼quick short games ! *2020-05-11, version 1.5.4* It’s fun to compete with someone live compared to playing against computer. I would however like the option of playing with our friends to make it more fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
