Of equal frustration is when I sign a really hopeful young player on a 28k, three year contract and they get selected for England.

It is not unusual to have them for a year, maybe two, and then they get a central contract. At the moment you recieve their contracted salary so you can find a like-for-like replacement - which is 28k. However they are no longer a 28k player and if I was renewing their contract I would be coughing up 60k plus to keep them.

So while I can sign another young hopeful and hope for the best what I can not do is sign another player of similar calibre to replace them when they play internationals.

Despite being centrally contracted you should be renewing their contract and you should be recieving the revised amount. Maybe you should get three rounds to negotiate the contract before other counties can step in or are given a take-it-or-leave-it offer. It won't encourage players to offer huge salaries because they could lose their England contract next season and you have commited to another year or two at the overpriced rate.

While this is less of an issue at a big-buget county the effect on a small-budget county is to stop you being able to compete unncessarily.

England contracts remain a frustration for me.

There has always been the frustion of a fringe player more often than not being called up to the squad but never getting a contract. This means that you have to find a like-for-like bit don't benefit from the compensation so in a resouce poor club you might not be able to have a player of equal enough ability.

If the overall system isn't going to change to something more like real life then being paid per call-up would get around the problem.

Ridiculous things happening in games.

Playing online and in two consequetive balls the keeper drops regulation catches. Next ball goes for 4. Then the batsman is clean bowled from a no ball... It benefitted me mind as the guy went on and got 40. But he got 3 lives in the space of four balls. The other player must've been RAGING.

When I bowled, there was also a clean bowled from a no ball and two drops in the slips and a keeper drop.

In a T20 game there was 3 drops from the keeper, 2 drops in the slips (might've been a 3rd) and 2 wickets off no balls.

In the space of 30 odd overs (game finished early) that's utterly preposterous!

has anyone suggested the world cup super league. I would like to see that in the 2021 version.

Would it be simple to have an option for batsmen to take quick singles? It would be good if it was a tick box on the interface.

the reason behind this is to get batsmen to rotate the strike no matter what their aggression rating is.

For example, in a 4/5 day match, you might be needing to defend out a session so your batsmen are not playing any aggressive shots, but that doesnt mean they should not be looking for and taking quick singles.

The risk factor is employing this option could be increased chances of run outs.

This review also had some great ideas - http://www.cricketweb.net/game-revie...T7kbkQmgGCBNNM

For me the ability to AT LEAST organise a 3 way retro tournament. Where i can pick 3 historic sides and they play their own tournament and to be really ambitious a system where you can do retro world cups? How about even retro one day uniforms.

Every member of the squad should be able to have training allocated to them, not just 8-10 or whatever. It seems like an unnecessary limitation when literally every member of a squad would train in real life.

This could be a good idea. Perhaps instead of putting money into a coaching budget you could employ batting, bowling or fielding coaches with the same money on that budget screen allowing more intensive coaching.

Sureshot quick question following on from this idea is whether the AI uses coaching? Perhaps them using technique coaching on all under 23s would help young players develop.

Some really good feedback in here guys.

This has been asked for years and that is an A team control. This was you can select players that are close to your international team and trial them in an A team. This is what usually happens in real life so should be implemented in the game.

No highlight option in online games needs to be there.

An update scheduled for late dec for big bash as we never get to play with the updated squads until the end of the season which loses interest.

Being able to start the season at a live date with live stat's and wins being done to get to that point. This is alot of work but would be amazing.

Quicker ability change for an opener to become middle order and vice versa but also to pick what match style they open in (T20 OD FC) I have had a guy solely on opener training for 4 years and he only improved T20 opener.

An All Rounder training for people that are already all rounders

An explanation from Sureshot about what each training is supposed to do too many times we app guess but needs to be clear. Like it would in real life.

A way to get players in form that doesn't result in dropping them... this would bring in some of the FM stuff like being able to talk to players etc

A form notification of when someone is in red hot form and also when someone is ice cold

Training to speed up a bowler this would only work for 16-22yo. And RF bowlers to change to RMF and RFM after turning 34yo

More 6 run minimum overs when chasing a big target. There is no way needing 8 an over there is a maiden in od or T20.

The ability to change your openers between innings online. Don't why you can't do this as you can offline.

1. In-game editor (player and fixture editor)

2. Player of the series and tournament feature

3. Be able to view previous World Cups scorecards easily (for example; if a person is in 2050, there should be an option in-game to view previous WC scorecards especially finals and semi-finals)

4. Top teams should be tough to beat in their home

5. Many regens who have great 2nd XI stats don't even get to play domestic cricket (this should be fixed)

6. Individual records as a captain (stats as a captain)

1. Not a small idea. But I dream of it.

2. Good idea.

3. Good idea.

4. That's a balance/gameplay issue rather than feature imo.

5. Not more good regens please!

6. Good idea.

I started up a new international save for Australia and after a few years the tri series tournament returned to the schedule. It seems that scheduling that format for ODIs has been removed in favour of single opponent series. Unless they make a return to real life scheduling, I think they should be removed from the generated fixtures in future CC.
