- The match engine is brilliant, providing a challenging and engaging experience for cricket fans.
- The game offers many hours of gameplay with multiple league systems and the ability to manage teams effectively.
- Improvements in graphics and the addition of new leagues, such as the Indian domestic league, enhance the overall experience.
- The game lacks significant updates year on year, often feeling like a minor database update rather than a new installment.
- Limited control over match play and player attributes can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.
- The user interface is dated, and there are many missing features that would enhance the management aspect of the game.

The gameplay offers many hours of engagement across three league systems, with notable improvements in management features like physio and coaching. However, it largely retains the same mechanics and interface as previous versions, leading to some frustration due to the random nature of gameplay. Overall, while the management aspects have seen enhancements, the core gameplay experience remains familiar.
“There are many hours of gameplay, with three different league systems.”
“The gameplay is good, and there is improvement with things like physio and coaching, so it's better from a management point of view.”
“Everything else remains the same as previous versions, and this new release follows the same path of updating stats while keeping the gameplay and interface identical to previous versions.”
“The random nature of gameplay is too frustrating.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, particularly in the context of a management simulation, with some users noting a significant improvement compared to previous versions. However, there are criticisms regarding repetitiveness and a lack of innovation in animations, leading to a mixed reception overall.
“The in-game graphics are outstanding for a management sim; just compare it to OOTP and FM.”
“Graphics have finally gotten a facelift, enhancing the overall visual experience.”
“The only noticeable changes are to the graphics during the highlights.”
“This is without a doubt the worst £20 I have ever spent in my life. Bored after one T20 match, awful graphics; I would have gotten more satisfaction by going outside and putting £20 down the drain!”
“Graphics have finally gotten a facelift, but animations remain the same as in previous versions pretty much, thus edges mostly go in the same areas and not always to shots that make sense.”
“The only noticeable changes are to the graphics on the highlights.”

The optimization aspect of the game is noted for its flexibility, allowing players to engage with 'stats only' mode, which focuses on performance metrics rather than player attributes. However, users express a desire for additional features, such as fan satisfaction metrics, to enhance the overall experience and provide deeper engagement with team dynamics.
“In OOTP, there is a sizable minority of us who play using 'stats only', where we turn attributes off and evaluate players based on performance.”
“These could be based around performance in competitions, development of youth players, marquee signings, or anything like this.”
“Similarly, fan satisfaction would be a great feature - are the fans happy with the performance of the team; are they attached to the players; do they like the style of cricket you're playing?”
