Cricket Captain 2021 Steam Release Date and Features

[Sureshot]

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, E.RPO is much better than T.RPO as it takes bowler tactics in to consideration, whereas T.RPO was static.

Hopefully we will be able to update stadiums in the near future.

The line/length toggle takes a little time to get used to, but this is how most Cricket Captain users play in matches as that's how it's worked on mobile for years.

Great work on this guys - really impressive. Any idea when the first patch is being released?

Not sure yet, we're tidying up some fixes for the online game at the moment. That would likely be a hotfix (same version number) for that.

We're focusing on Android/iOS right now.

I love it so far, two county games in. I didn't know the county championship had to changed to this new format of group stages.

The new method of highlighting in yellow box and the arrow pointers on the pitch takes some getting use too.

As it stands I believe that's only for this season (for Covid reasons). Presume it will just stay in place forever in this edition of the game though?

I don't think the ECB have confirmed the 2022 regs yet?

All comps are very much up in the air right now. I guess the most important question from a Cricket Captain point of view is, do you like the new format?
