    Cricket Captain 2020 now showing on Steam. Release date as mentioned by Sureshot, June 18.

    ''Cricket Captain 2020 is the perfect replacement for those who are missing live cricket as the hugely anticipated season is disrupted. With the incredibly exiting 2019 World Cup and the fiercely fought Australia tour of England, a legion of new fans have been attracted to the sport. The new 100 ball competition promised to provide great entertainment for those new fans, and the inaugural test-match championship was well under way. After canvassing our fans, we have decided to create the 2020 season as it was originally intended, in all it’s glory.

    The new 100 ball competition in England has been added, including updates to the match engine, AI and stats systems to accommodate the new format. Updates to domestic systems around the world have also been incorporated, including major changes to the competitions in Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Captains will also be able to switch between domestic teams in different domestic systems for the first time and between International Teams.

    Cricket Captain 2020 also features a full database update (over 7,000 players, including every historical international player), with improved player ability generation, using data from every form of cricket and with input from a team of researchers around the world. The database provides the attention to detail that the series is famed for.

    Cricket Captain is unrivalled in cricket management simulation, and Cricket Captain 2020 improves the series once again with all the attention to detail that is the trademark of the series. Put your tactical expertise to the test in the number one cricket management game.''

      Even the Steam release has typos, and taking away from it only three things have changed:

      1. The Hundred
      2. A proper career mode to switch clubs and jobs
      3. Bowling aggression colour update

      But, still no updates to graphics, match engine, interface, training, contracts, list goes on

        I agree it’s a real shame but I can’t see much actual change to the game. The graphics and match engine need a real good look at!

          They must improve training and AI tactics . Graphics is the last of the concern. I wish there's a Cricket managerial game that is good as Out of the park Baseball series.

            However looking at it, there seems to be basically no improvements from last years game or no new features. It’s just the same old stuff we’ve had for years now

            I don’t want to sound like a moaner, but I just can’t see what is going to be different in this years game? We need new, exciting, innovative features if we’re going to keep spending money on the game.

            I’d personally love an editor option (I know this isn’t for everyone which I do understand, but I think if the option was there then it’s up to user choice if they use it or not)

            I’d also love more varied graphics, an ability to apply for jobs both national and county. And also possibly a create your own team option.

            I know these features are not for everyone and would take work but these are just personal suggestions
            The only important new feature they added this year is the ability to switch teams between countries. About the 100, I'm not even interested at all. I wish there's an option to create custom teams, leagues/tournaments and players. Maybe women database as well.

              There fundamental things need to change in CC to make it more realistic and improve the overall experience
              1. AI tactics need to change specially during a run chase. Too many matches are finished between 30 to 40 overs. And AI often loses 3-4 wickets in a 300+ run chase in the first 10 overs.
              2. No of 1s and 2s should increase specially during the middle overs as too many 4s and 6s are hit and not enough singles in between. Also there are too many dot balls played.
              3. Field settings in limited matches should be different than test fields. There should be different new default field settings in an limited over matches.
              I feel the match engine used in limited overs is the extension of test matches. This should change and a separate match engine should be used in limited overs.
              I hope Chris replies

                Completely agree with you. Doesn't matter if the batsmen are aggressive, they must lower the scoring speed dealing with singles,doubles if the situation demands. For example, if Team A(AI), starting the inning, has lost 2-3 quick wickets between 10-15 overs and the next batsman in the list is very aggressive/aggressive, it's logical to change batting order and promote a batsmen who is less aggressive to build a partnership.
                The developers must focus on improving match situations for limited over games. Also the AI squad selection must be based on the condition they are playing.

                    any news on an updated training system? having limited coaching sessions is pretty annoying as is the lack of indication as to a players potential

                    in real life you'd see the guy train or have specialist coaches telling you what they think, so even a really really basic "your coaches believe 'x' could become world class/excellent/good/average/poor" on the personal tab of <25 players would be nice to see

                        It would be nice if there was a level playing field online. Being able to select five overseas players makes a HUGE difference to your team, especially in a T20.

                            The plan for CC2020 hasn't changed from Chris' Facebook post, we still aiming to recreate the season as it was scheduled, including player transfers to English Counties that have been cancelled in light of the Coronavirus. The release date is very tentative still, with the global pandemic going on Valve, Google and Apple processes cannot be reliably predicted by us, it is a big unknown. That all said, we're still planning for a June release.


                            Can it give an option of coronavirus mode with and without , for someone who be in realistic and avoid this session due to covid .

                              Have we got any new animations? Just had my batsman top edge the ball from a sweep shot at the speed of light only for the wicket keeper to pluck it immediately out the sky. Also have quite a few short legs pluck a well timed pull shot out the air.

                                So will the game actually sim each competition? I'm curious how well balanced domestic teams will be if you decide to switch countries mid-way through.
