Cricket Captain 2014

I bought this game back when it first came out in the late 90's. Over 14 years they have left it largely untouched other than the player roster. Oh and they somehow found a way to add more bugs. It would be a good game if they bothered to update it. If you are looking for a cricket Football Manager you will left wanting. It looks and feels cheap and unloved. It was worth 20 dollars 14 years ago. Its worth $5 today. AVOID!!!!!!! Unless you are some type of cricket manager tragic and even then wait for a sale.

As close to football manager as a cricket management sim is going to get.

If you love Cricket, stats and looking for that next star player then this is the game for you! I've played Cricket Captain since 2001 when my cousin introduced me to it and have loved its simple interface and decent match engine since then. It has had fairly minor tweaks over the years as my original tactics used to dominate one dayers dont work anymore and of course 20/20s arent all that old. This game brings back memories...I played the first copy that I had to death and found a spreadsheet on an old usb that had stats for an England Captain game from 2000 to 2026 on it earlier today! I've also bought a version that had Phil Hughes on the cover that I remember he averaged 65ish opening for Australia (might have been 2009?) as well as the 2011, 13 & 14 versions. This is the best of the lot with the different game modes and a one-day engine that I haven't figured out yet (I'm only 30 odd hours in). There is a reason I keep spreadsheets with this game - it has 1 big bug....at the...

I've been playing Cricket Captain since ICC III (2007) so have been a little disappointed with the 'progress' of the game since then. It's been 8 years.... This game is a little bit of an upgrade from 2013 as it's got better shot play, more field settings etc but still not what I was really expecting in terms of progress made on the game. For example, Cricket Coach brings out a new game each year with loads of new features after lots of talk with the CC community....Cricket Captain very rarely communicate and take on decent ideas from the community ever. For next years game, they will need to improve massively as now with Steam, the players of 2014 will be wanting more.

A great cricket management simulator. Knowing what you're doing also helps. This, along with Don Bradman Cricket 14, will keep me occupied for a long time.

It's good, if you can put up with a lot of bugs, general data errors and the fact that it's really only a UI update from the last few games. A good cricket "management" sim, though there's no sacking, jobs offered and a few basic competitions missing. All in all, it's as good as you'll find for a cricket management sim, but lacking in a lot of areas.

Not Working

As fun and addictive as ever, and with an excellent new UI. Definitely worth the price.

Cricket managment games is the niche of games. This one i've enjoyed for years. I like the update, there are always improvements and the developers are open about this. Good game and format.

If you have played any of the Cricket Captain games that came before this one then you have no need to buy this. Appart form updated player rosters and one or two more differnt options when it comes to what type of game you want to play, this game is exactlly like all the CC i have ever see. No new animations, no new commentry, the commentator is still an idiot and the the creators still do not understand the LBW rule. Over all not a bad game, but if you want something new you will be disapointed.
