About This Game

Cricket Captain 2020 is the perfect companion if you are missing live matches, as the hugely anticipated season is disrupted. With the incredibly exciting 2019 World Cup and the fiercely fought Australia tour of England, a legion of fans have been attracted to the sport. The inaugural 100 ball competition promised to provide great entertainment for those new converts, and the first test-match championship was well under way. After canvassing our players, we have decided to create the 2020 season as it was originally intended, in all its glory.

Rain delays in one-day and 20 over matches have been introduced, including the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system to calculate run-chase targets. There are also extensive additions to the database, including additional season by season player records.

The new 100 ball competition in England has been added, including updates to the match engine, AI and stats systems to accommodate the new format. Updates to domestic systems around the world have also been incorporated, including major changes to the competitions in Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Captains will also be able to switch between domestic teams in different countries for the first time.

Cricket Captain 2020 also features a full database update (over 7,000 players, including every historical international player), with improved player ability generation, using data from every form of cricket and with input from a team of researchers around the world. The database provides the attention to detail that the series is famed for.

Cricket Captain is unrivalled in cricket management simulation, and Cricket Captain 2020 improves the series once again. Put your tactical expertise to the test in the number one cricket management game.

Key features for 2020 include:
  • Rain delays in one-day and 20 Over matches: introducing the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method for the first time in Cricket Captain.
  • Improved weather simulation for all match types: including more realistic weather patterns, and extra time to recover lost overs.
  • The new 100 ball competition in England: a brand-new format, played between eight city-based teams.
  • Updates to all domestic systems and 20 over leagues: play updated domestic leagues in South Africa, India, England, Australia, West Indies, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand.
  • Ability to switch teams between countries: play a full career mode, switch between teams across domestic systems.
  • Improved player generation system: using data from every form of cricket combined with input from a team of researchers around the world.
  • Improved match engine: with updates to bowler AI, spin bowler ability in limited over matches, and batsman scoring rates.
  • Current/last competition stats: see details of current and last competition stats for all formats.
  • Historical scenarios: Play in Classic England test series vs West Indies or Pakistan.
  • Tournament Modes: Play in stand-alone One Day or 20 Over World Cups. Create your own World XIs, All-Time Greats and Custom Match Series.
  • New database: full database update with over 7,000 players.
  • Internet game: improved reliability and more teams to play on-line.

Exactly the same as 19, don't waste your time or money on this garbage. No changes to match engine or animations, the game feels slow and lethargic, not even updated the grounds like Headingley, absolute joke and they have the audacity to charge people for this absolute garbage game. Even on very easy the game feels impossible to play realistically, players like Smith, Azam, Stokes and Kholi feel absolutely rubbish. Still no actual tactics in the game same old bullsh*t training that does nothing and we have no way of seeing how players develop (get better or worse). Added the "100" in the English domestic system but no real names so whats the point in that. People who are giving this game anything over a 1/10 are brain dead or bots. DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP. Update: This game is still a waste of time.

It's Ok. Giving it a thumbs up because it's the best ball by ball simulator (as opposed to arcade game) out there It really has no right to be the best. It is slow, the UI is clunky the 3D match engine is an eyesore, the customisation options are fewer than the series had 22 years ago when International Cricket Captain first released. It has no meta game to speak of. Stats are still hobbled. Every few years a few more are revealed but a lot are not in the game. Ball by ball. In play. The actual match engine is pretty good. You can see turn, swing, bounce etc. (though the characters batting and bowling are so badly animated you have to divine this information from watching the ball - not the lego-faced players) There is no meta game to speak of, and this is where the game really show lack of progress. Player development is a black box process. The very little control you have is skill training in one of several batting, bowling or fielding disciplines - then wait. They may improve, t...

I finally decided to upgrade from the 2016 version but could not be more disappointed. The animations have not updated at all over the four years and so you see the same shots and dismissals. The only new animation I have been able to see is run outs at the non strikers end. This means if you play enough, you know what animations are out straight away. There is no way to see player stats and so this makes personalised training useless. Form means its pointless playing a one star bowler or batsmen even if they performed superbly in the last series. However this all pales next to the shocking ai. In ODI's you cannot ask your batsmen to score at over a run a ball as they will get out instantly. Instead players will only be able to hit at a strike rate over 100 if they are settled but this will take a crazy amount of time. Instead of 300 being the par which it seems to be in real life, your team will always struggle to 250 as batsmen just cant come in and play aggressively from the outset...

Cricket Captain 2020 is great. I can list pros and cons but at the end off the day I enjoy spending my free time playing the game.

This game has a special place in my heart because way back in 2004 or 2005 I used to play the demo version of International Cricket Caption. I vividly remember how only 2 test matches were available to play as England back then and ...I probably played this game for hundreds of hours even then. Yea, the demo version. I wasn't a very demanding kid. So anyway At that time I never expected the franchise to last till 2020 but here we are. I'm pretty happy with the game in its current form. Sure DRS would make it a lot more fun and I hope the developers add it in the coming years. Another thing I'd like to see is more field injuries. It'll make the game more realistic.

Its the same game as cricket captain 2001. With an updated database. And i really dont think there is any level of control you have over the game and the actions of the players in it. There is no variations, or life to the players or their skillset. Unplayable for more than 2 hrs at most.

Absolutely night and day between this one and 2019 version. Even on easy I get smashed by minnows who have 2 star rating versus a 5 star team. Loved the franchise but wasted my money on this. Glad i still have the one that is fun to play on my tablet.

Game is a mess. While the batting parting is realistic enough, the bowling innings are totally random, thus killing any interest for the game. NOT recommended.
