Well having bought ICC a few days ago.. In my opinion it's easily the best Cricket sim in terms of match engine. I do have Cricket Coach 2011 as well and that is a good game but the match engine isn't too great. I find ICC 2011 a lot tougher, which is good. On Cricket Coach 2011 I won my first 7 games of the season in a row with Leicestershire, IRL we are struggling most the time, the only thing we do well in at the moment is the 20/20. On ICC 2011 my first season with Leicestershire I finished bottom of the County Championship, 2nd from bottom of the CB40 and 5th in the 20/20 group stages, that is realistic for this season and I found it a challenge.
I've owned 4 ICC games, 2000, 2001, 2006 and 2011. So i'm no mug at the game.
Cricket Coach does have some great additions with the transfers, week by week finance update, player morale, more detailed player records etc.. But the most important thing of any management sim and any game for that matter.. Is the match engine/gameplay and for some reason I find Cricket Coach to be too easy. The 20/20 run chases on ICC 2011 are fantastic and they have clearly worked on that, so well done Chris and the developers!
