It helps us know how to play Cricket.
Best game to play for free time.
This game actually is so entertaining.
Loved new star soccer and this is just as good, highly recommended for any cricket fan.
Its kind of hard to level up your lifestyle. Other than that, its a pretty fun game.
Love this game can u maybe update it some more.
Enjoy playing this game. The losing energy to play a game or train model is not new but the way the in app purchases work is a bit too much. And the price of energy drink upscaling with you as you earn more per match kind of takes away incentive to advance in the game. We were pretty disappointed in that. On a positive note, we actually learned how cricket works by playing this game.
Love it but when you bowl first, if you do well, the opposition will often be all out for <200 or even <100 meaning theres not challenge at all to the chase, and often you cant even get a 10 rating because you only needed a very small total to win.
Fun and addicting just like the New Star Soccer. We just wish the properties were more attainable. Itll take like 5+ seasons to get them all and itll probably get old by then bc there is no new challenge once you get into the national team.
Its really good but the only problem is that sometimes you have to wait a few games to buy 1 drink. This makes no sense.
Didnt know anything about cricket but we love sports games. This a is a great one.
We are ready are doing good so far.
Ive recently gained an interest in cricket and this game is so fun, in our state we dont have a cricket team or clubs so this always is one of our favorite things to do when we wanna play cricket.
It is a good game and great to play on a road trip but it can get boring at parts what they should add is practice so your guy can practice and if you a very good bowler you may only bowl or if you are a bad bowler but good fielder you field a lot and batting could be improved a bit. Last thing there should be exbadition or online mode.
Very fun game, happy days with game.
This game is so fun the only problem is the energy depleting so quickly and the constant increase of energy drink prices.
It is by far the best game we played.
This game is great and a lot of fun although we hate the girlfriend mechanic and the energy mechanic but its something that can be worked around.
Always playing since downloaded, hard to get off it.
Even if you dont know anything about cricket, its an easy game to get the hang of but mastering requires consistent perfect technique.
We have been playing this game for only two days but we love it so much.
Its really realistic and has good playing throwing is kind of hard bit the key thing to improve on is energy and how it takes a lot of energy away to do games and gives little back. Overall its really fun and you should definitely try it.
We are star player and this game is the best! We wish you could buy property without making purchases with real money.
This game is better than any game .Classico.
This game is great. We commend the developers. But the batting is way too hard, and the energy is too hard to keep at a good level. But otherwise a great game.
This game is one of the best we have played, and we really enjoy it.
Best game we have ever played in our life this made us learn cricket thank you.
Super fun, but we feel like the energy bar is a bit of a scam. We know you can minimize the amount you use in game, with not so hard swings.. But the training and every other aspect of the game takes the energy. If you are gonna keep the salary thing as is with the guessing for raises (which we like), then at least turn down the energy depletion just a bit if you wouldnt mind.
Pretty good cricket game. Nothing much to it.
Yyuyuyuhyuyuhjhghjbhkjnkh kgb ,j. Ufhckmgjv go,ljmkhcfjtv,k.
Its fun and free whats not to love.
Easily the most frustrating part of the game.
W game, just sometimes some very unrealistic plays by the defense, and very strict boss + expensive ways to get energy.
It is a fun game although progression feels very slow and you dont notice it. Way too much is locked behind a paywall and makes it much less fun.
Great game if it wasn't pinching you so hard on microtransactions from the very start. Not fun when it's so blatantly obvious that you win or lose based on buying energy drinks.
It Crashing while Im winning a game all of the time its trash dont download.
Great graphics great gameplay love the cricket.
Amazing game.. Just please make the running and run outs more realistic plz.
Never played the sport but entertaining.
Makes us rage sometimes but its decent.
The game is okay. We had high hopes since we like the football game they make but the cricket game seems just like any other pay to play game. The energy drink prices constantly go up so if you want your player to have full energy you have to buy more and more drinks. But the drinks cost more than you make so you have to buy some with real money. If you like cricket skip this game.
Fun games but energy drinks should not cost more than a professional athletes compensation per game and sponsors should provide free products. Imagine a Nike spokes athlete paying for his or her own nikes.
Love the game have played it off and on the past few years. The best cricket game on the App Store. However, we wish there was a pay once & play option, instead of the focus micro-transactions. Although, the game is still playable & challenging while being fair.
Everything revolves around relationships. But in order to maintain relationships you need energy. But in order to get energy u need money. In order to get money you need relationships. But the second you are out of money you are screwed.
This game dev needs to make a game like this for every sport.
We love the game and it's concept, the lifestyle and wage happiness and everything revolves around how well you play. We love it just please make like an American Football one where you catch the football kick field goals throw a pass that way we actually know how the game works but overall we love the game.
We first saw an ad about this game on new star soccer. We are a cricket fan so we downloaded it. This game is the best.
Simple gameplay and addictive game.
Lacrosse would be a great sport for another game idea.
It is like real life it is amazing.
