The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every over or even more frequently. Many players express frustration over the game's reliance on in-app purchases, which are perceived as costly and necessary to unlock essential features, leading to a "pay-to-win" experience. Overall, the combination of intrusive advertising and high costs for in-game content has significantly detracted from the gaming experience, prompting many users to uninstall the game.
- “And pretty much all the features like coaches are all in-game purchases, so my suggestion is to make the game less focused on purchases and more on experience. You could totally add something to get things for free and also for purchasing.”
- “This is an amazing game... the cut scenes are even better than PC games which is absolutely amazing... and the tournaments and graphics are next level. But I cut 2 stars from 5 stars because of 2 issues: 1st is the in-app purchases are much costly; you should reduce the money of tournaments like ODI series and tri-series, or give a chance to unlock it permanently with platinums.”
- “In-app purchases are high, but still it's a good game. If we can buy everything with platinum coins, it will be great.”
- “This is my favorite cricket game and I really would rate this game 5 stars but there are some major problems with this game, to begin with this game is highly based on pay to win or in-game purchases which ruins the experience for many players including me.”
