Ok I didnt thought I will be saying this but this game career mode is the best one can get in cricket games that include management games like Cricket captain and Cricket Coach games , let me fill you with a interesting little story , so I made couple of club teams with players having age bracket b/w 16-21 with their ovrall attributes b/w early 60s to mid 60s with one player from each club having 70 ovrall rating and then I started a career mode with objective of only simulating as far as I can in order to view how the world changes around , how the players develop / regress , getting selected to bigger teams and playing world t20 and world cup , ( I thought that like DBC17 its only your career player who can get improved and getting these things going for him) but glad I was so wrong , after simulating to year 2024 I just checked my club team whom I was representing and one word I was ASTONISHED!!!! all the players in my club have improved so much the one who was 70 was now 96 ovrall , captaining the national side and had a terrific batting career going around at the tender age of 26 , more interestingly all the players improved at a different rate depending upon their performance , couple of players were still in the late 60s (they started at early 60s) while one player who started at early 60s was now 84 thanks to some incredible performances , they all played T20 leagues and FC cricket and some are now permanent fixture of their national side (one even captaining Pakistan) , more over they changed T20 teams as well , like in one season they represent Multan and in next Karachi , more over the star players Kohli , Root etc have now regressed as well.
The only thing I wanted to see is their career stats in statistics tab (not just in match when they come out to bat and bowl) and improved AI logic in selecting playing XI , I will give this game a 10/10 simply the best career mode cricket game in the history of cricket games.
I guess the ideal attributes for teen players will be in the late 30s to early 40s and let them flourish , I wonder why BAS didn't put younger players in club cricket when you start a new career , Initially i thought they don't improve at all , but all of them were around mid to late 20s hence the lack of development.
Finally we have a cricket game with a near proper FIFA/NBA/MADDEN level career mode.
