Cricket Captain 2021 Steam Release Date and Features

[Jobi1K]

Downloaded last night (Steam), played one Championship game and won, so very enjoyable so far!

Having to toggle through the line and length settings when bowling might take a few plays to get used to, but not such a hardship. Only slight disappointment is I was hoping to see the Headingley graphics updated (the new Emerald Stand has been open a couple of years now) – any plans to get that changed soon Sureshot ?

I really like the new E.RPO indicator though – feels like you can react even better to what the bowlers are doing.

I put on a positive review on Steam. I liked the new animations. The new uniforms looks great. Menus work really well. I like the Historical matches with IND and NZ. Good touch with the moustaches' on the retro players. I like that level of thought.

Thanks. Chris has spent a lot of time on the outfield catches to better balance how wickets fall when batsmen attack heavily. It's really nice to see more outfield diving catches, and there's been a few more spinners running behind them for caught and bowled.

Downloaded!!

I thought android was the biggest platform as the no of downloads is quite high

The downloads are high because of the trial version, same for most pay to unlock games on Android.

We've got the South African 20 over league in game.

We're close to release on Steam, hopefully in the next couple of hours.

There are variations of release date based on where you are in the world. We're still aiming to release later today UK time on Steam, yesterday and this morning have gone well.

Other platforms:

iOS is our biggest platform, so is our biggest priority for next release. No release date for these as usual, but we're working on them and they will release when ready.

I've just updated the opening post with our latest Game Description, which includes this addition:

Improved Availability Indicator in Contracts: including indication of 100-ball and 20 over competition participation for domestic team contracts.

I'm really pleased with the work we've done on this in the last week, it's a much better system than last year and I know answers some questions users had on managing counties whilst the 100 is taking place in game.

Hey Sureshot - have you guys got a planned time for the release tomorrow?

Not currently, been a busy day today. I might have time to update tomorrow before a release, if so, I'd do it in here.

Please note, last year there were some posts about the time Steam says for release, there is no automatic release at that time, it's just a time we have to put in.

First of all, thanks for the great game. I've been playing it every year since as long as I remember.

Will you be adding career mode where you create your own player and slowly progress him in the future?

[Sureshot]

Is the new ‘Super Over‘ applicable to all short formats, and not just Internationals? And following it, if scores are still tied is there a further Super Over (without same batsmen/bowler) as per the current rules?
Ps, many thanks and keep up the amazing work.

Hi Yorkie

Hopefully this image answers your question for when super overs will be used in tied limited overs in game.We've followed real rules where possible, if not available, we've gone for consistency with other comps.



We don't have repeat super overs in event of a tied super over, unfortunately trying to have more than 2 innings per team would require enormous changes to the game code that would take months to debug. However, there's no reason why you couldn't save at the start of a super over and then if the super over tied, just reload the save. Not ideal, but it's our best option for now.

Super Overs work as a follow on, essentially.
