Cricket Management 26

I just finished my first match in this game. There's a lot of promise here and I see 4 updates already within the first 10 hours of release so devs also hard at it. I see a lot of potential in this game because it does allow for a lot more granular control compared to the reigning cricket management simulators. The UI could do with updating, as well as features to make the whole field setting and plan of action deciding process a little easier. Bowlers ideally should be adding variations basis their own mental stats because setting a plan for each of the 120 balls in a T20 feels a bit much. Let's see how this develops and grows. I'm optimistic.

Lots of work still to be done, but I most say its better than cricket captain, definitely need the data base for real player names, can't wait for the UI to improve in the future, It has a lot of potential.

It looks promising .. kind of gives you feel of football manager game. Developer is very much intrested in getting feedback and patch issues on priority Game engine looks good. Hwever there needs to some modification to bowling setup .. it has to be made easy rather than picking up line and length for each bowl .. bpwler should use his rating and skills to pitch Fielding UI is not correctly getting alligned Needs more nations especially ICC trophy for associated and lower rank nations It needs work and i am sure developer will fix the issues

The features are good the only thing that is lackng is the Names of real cricketers...we cant even change the name in the game nor can we identify the real name so the connect is missing there

Giving a tentative positive at the moment, mainly for the potential and the dev being active in trying to improve things. Game looks real nice but bugs are present at the moment, but if things do get fixed is definitely capable of being better than other cricket management games currently available. No real names, but does include an editor, but not tried this feature out as yet. Current 3 star, but with 5 star potential.

Got to give a negative review sadly. Some of the text is far too small for my aging eyesight. The lay out and gameplay i had to give up on due to this. Its a text based game so readable text has to be the most important feature in it. Especially for people like me who will be staring at the screen for hours playing the game and with this one straining my eyes to read some of the really tiny greyed out text.. IMHO there is tons of room on each tab or page for larger text sizes. There is no logical reason for some of it to be so small and diminutive. I tried the light background to see if it might be better for me but alas it got worse with some of the greyed out text virtually invisible to me in the white background. Hopefully if there is a CM27 the text size issue is improved. Good luck to the devs anyway. Cricket does need another management sim badly
