Best Cricket Game.

Postby Lightning McQueen » Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:37 am

Please list off a few faves to not clutter the other thread and I'll start a poll.

I like leaving a game alone for some time and then thrashing it for a few weeks, I find most games are hard to conquer for a while and then they become too easy.

Not yet, but sounds pretty similar to the first with some added features. I could be wrong. I quite enjoyed the last version of Bradman.

Did it have proper names or were they altered slightly?

From the reviews I have read it is unlicensed but you can download community created teams and likenesses which are pretty good

They released a version in 2014 as well. It's only licensed by the Bradman Foundation to use the name. But there is online add-ons to use current players.

Correct, uses fake names, but as soon as you go to play it, it gives you the option to download the full player names. The uniforms & team logos are slightly off, but enough to resemble what the team is.

Haven't played either but did read some reviews yesterday funnily enough that the game was no better than 16 and some aspects such as fielding had actually slipped.

The death penalty can never be excused as it allows a state a means by which it can pick and choose who is fit to live and who isnt

I still play 07 from time to time. I've completed every tour/series and the Australian and English domestic seasons.

Only tour I haven't finished is the Sub Continent tour because it's the longest and I CBF doing it because being the sub continent it has hard and flat pitches so even in the tour matches it takes ages to bowl a team out.

I like to get through a game/tour as quickly as possible so I bowl first roll the opposition for stuff all, bat maybe five overs and smash them around the ground and the send them back in and roll them again.

In 07 the players in the Australian, English, South African and Kiwi squads have proper names. My brother and I went through and changed all the names of the players in the other countries squads to their proper names because we couldn't stand playing against someone we knew that had a variation of their proper name. We even made sure they had the right shirt number aswell.

I loved the customisation part of cricket 07. used to change all the players names on the Zimbabwe team to my local club and tour the world...

Also changed all the English county teams to Adelaide suburban cricket association teams... Bit of fun...

Majority of the time I generated the bowling innings and would mostly bat when my own created player was batting

The scores I was hearing was ridiculous, I haven't had much of a shot on it.

I prefer International Cricket Captain 2016.

If you have steam its about $32 and will only take 5 minutes to download.

ICC2016 imo lead the way in cricket management game.
