Hi All
I have not played Cricket Captain since the 2010 edition because I was a little disappointed with it as I didn't feel that it was developing enough for my liking and there were parts of the game that irked me a little.....mainly I was finding it difficult to search out good players and also the hap-hazard way of knowing if a player was any good or not!
I decided to buy 2015 yesterday and played it a little last night. Firstly I would like to congratulate the developers for a number of things. The user interface is so much smoother and better looking and it is a pleasure to play now without all the qwerky movements. The search facility is much better and I am finding that the player sorting works a lot better, also the squad loading is fantastic. The highlights and stadium graphics are also much better and further developed (although I must admit to not using them as much as I should because I find the shot range and the wicket range a little repetitive). The addition of the fielding training is a great addition also.
One thing that I still disappointed by is the fact that the only way of knowing if a player is any good is by reputation and averages and I wonder what the reasons are for not putting in some kind of basic player statistics.
Also I wonder if it would be possible to allow users to add facepacks of players and club and competition logos to improve the look of the game, as I understand that the developers may have issues with rights etc?
Anyhow I have to say I am enjoying the game again though and I am even thinking about starting my own Lancashire CCC story, after hanging on to a 1-0 series win in the West Indies with England in my trial game last night.
