Looks like a good game. Cricket Coach is always great value, and I admit that after the 2012 one came out, I was converted from ICC.

I feel rather alone on this forum though...

Theres a few of us here, but the official game forum is much more active. The only thing ICC has in it's favour is the graphics, and CC will get there eventually. I spend hours perfecting the comps and tours and then I add in all the associate nation comps I can find.

Hey DM is the game released for pre payers yet? Do you think the game has enough new features to warrant a new buy?

Not released but pre-orders have started, I think the beta comes out in the next 2 weeks. The new features should be enough to put ICC out of business.

Great! If I read it properly they have fixed the bug whereby stats under 50 dont count for anything? So batsman with low attributes will act accordingly etctera?

This is an excellent addition. Have been a fan of the series since CC12 was released on mac. I will admit that the only reason I stumbled upon this game was due to ICC12/13 not being out on mac. I'm glad I did come across this game though, definitely more in depth than ICC.

Great to see another CC release, and enjoyed the trial. However not opting to pay for the full version, as it does not seem that the real FTP (more or less) is included.

I started my season with Pakistan, a couple of tests vs. WI and The CT.

No South Africa or Sri Lanka tour. Fair enough. But the next season started and I had a few random games here and there, which is not realistic at all.
