The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive ads that appear after every over, often leading to game freezes and crashes. Many players express frustration over the inability to skip or close these ads, which disrupt gameplay and diminish the overall experience. Additionally, in-app purchases are considered overpriced, with many features locked behind paywalls, further aggravating users who feel that the game prioritizes revenue generation over player enjoyment.
- “This is so realistic not in graphics but in gameplay. There are two disadvantages which I think: first, the graphics are not very realistic but you can improve them in RealCricket21; and second, in-app purchases are too expensive.”
- “Truly the best in the market. This one is by far the best cricket simulation game available on Android. I have tried all, but this one stands out. Although progression through the game is a little time-consuming with lots of in-app purchases, if one just focuses on gameplay, this one's for him. Just go for it; don't waste time trying others. This one is the best.”
- “Good game but needs to make the game mode more realistic in batting, fielding, and bowling areas. So why are there so many in-app purchases that need credit? We are playing for credits already, and we can't put them to use except to buy stadiums alone. Please fix this so we can use the credits to buy balls, bats, etc.”
- “The game is good, but the ads are horrible.”
- “Too many ads after every over, and sometimes the ads do not load, leaving a blank screen.”
- “The ads after every over are extremely annoying; after a match, or perhaps even after an inning would be much more tolerable.”
