  • Cricket Captain 2022 Released on Steam


    Cricket Captain 2022 is out now on PC. Coming soon on iOS, Android, Mac & Switch.

    Available from http://childishthings.com (PC 10% off Steam price)

    • New player aggression rating system
    • Remodelled T20/OD/FC engine
    • New coaching options
    • Updated stadiums
    • Home/Away stats

    Cricket Captain 2022 is primed and ready, putting you in control. Can you manage your team to victory? A compelling year of cricket includes the 20 over World Cup and crucial internationals, overseen by a new England management structure. Cricket Captain includes a major re-structure of the player aggression system in both FC and one-day matches, providing greater realism, coaching options and analysis.

    Limited over matches have been the main focus of development for Cricket Captain 2022, with new ball impact and swing movement balanced to reduce the wickets lost in white ball matches. Batsmen also settle more quickly, making collapses less prevalent. The aggression system mirrors a player’s real-strike rate precisely, modelling boundary hitting and accumulation ability. With new separate aggression ratings for all players for First Class and Limited Over match types, white ball cricket has never been as dynamic.

    Cricket Captain 2022 features all domestic system changes, and a database update, including new international home and away player stats.

    Key features for 2022 include:
    • New Batting Aggression System: fine grained ratings mirroring real player ability, modelling accumulators and boundary hitters.
    • Expanded Coaching: new Batting Specialism options allow coaching of batting aggression and opener types.
    • Stadium Updates: updated stadium models to reflect ground changes.
    • One Day and 20 Over New Ball: reduced new ball and swing impact in limited over.
    • Reduced Batting Settled Impact: reduces batting collapses in 20 Over games.
    • Match Engine: significantly improved using the latest statistical analysis and user feedback.
    • International Home and Away Stats: analyse how your players perform at home and away.
    • English Domestic System: with the latest competition formats and squads.
    • Indian Domestic System: updated to match the new 20 Over format.
    • Improved New Player Generation: rebalanced with focus on real youth player abilities.
    • New Kits: updates to domestic teams in India and Bangladesh.
    • Test and ODI Championships: updated for the 2022 season.
    • Changing Teams: move between domestic and international teams in a save
    • 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.
    • Keyboard control: improved keyboard system for PC and Mac versions.
    • Improved interface: improved button and row highlighting for PC and Mac versions.

    Complete Stats Update for the 2022 Season:
    • Updated player database with over 7,000 players.
    • Added home and away international player stats.
    • Updated versus, ground and team records with partnerships, bowling and batting records and Fastest 50s/100s.
    • Updated domestic squads for all 150 playable domestic teams.
    • Updated recent series stats for all players.
    • Improved compression reduces save size and save time.

    That's great news. Any idea on when the demo will be available to download? I'd like to get started trying out the new features but will buy the full version on pay day. Thanks

      Sureshot Nicholas Davis of Tasmania bowls RFM and bats right-handed, he's been listed as a left-hand bat and off spin bowler.

        Not yet, pretty tricky to know how long Steam will take to do their bits, should be within the week.

        I'll post in here when it's available.

            Yay, been looking forward to the new release.

            Great to see the Country Championship has reverted back to the two Divisions again

              Within the next couple of weeks for Mac. Price will be £23.99, if you're outside the UK, then the conversion will be down to Apple as we only set in GBP.

                Is there much difference between the Mac version and the iOS version? Thanks

                  Mac has keyboard controls and navigation and better overall performance.

                      Is there somewhere I can post database feedback? I was working so didn't have time to post before the thread got closed.

                          I'll be putting up a thread towards the end of the week. Currently we're heavily in to mobile release, so I wouldn't have time to look at DB feedback for a few days anyway.

                            When will the DEMO game be released? Would like to see what the 2022 game has to offer in terms of gameplay before purchasing it.
