After the success of two seasons of Cricket Manager its time to kick start the third season.
Whats being changed in Season 3.
1. Ticket Revenue:
Previously ticket revenue was based on three factors Wining Momentum, Activity and Wesbite. I understand that not all teams will have time to update their website. So going forward only winning momentum (50%) and activity (50%) will decide the ticket revenue.
But teams maintaining a website will be rewarded with bonus prizes.
2. Pitch Type:
Previously all matches were simulated on normal pitch. Going forward home team will have the option of choosing the pitch type (Excellent or normal or poor).
3. Betting:
Previously either you win $200,000 or lose $200,000 for each bet. Going forward, if you win the bet you will get $200,000 and if you lose the bet you will lose just $100,000. This is to encourage betting and have more bets.
4. Activity Index:
Previously a manager can earn maximum of 25 points in each round. Its been increased to 50 from Season 3. So even if one manager is inactive your team can still get 50 points.
5. Player Release:
Teams will not get any money for releasing their players. If a player is being released, they just don't need to renew his contract.
6. Buying/Selling Players:
Previously players have to bought or sold at a fixed price which was decided during the initial purchase. Going forward a player can be sold upto double his worth of the initial price. But he cannot sold less than his purchase price.
For example: KKR bought Kapil Dev for 1 Million. He can be sold upto 2 Million but cannot be sold for less than 1 Million.
Lets say KKR sells Kapil Dev for 1.6 Million to Durban. Here Durban needs to pay 1.6 Million but KKR will get only $600,000. The remaining 1 million will go to the player.
If KKR sells Kapil Dev for 1 million then they will not get any money and the entire 1 million goes to the player.
IN nutshell a team which is selling a player can get only the difference amount between Purchase price and Selling price.
7. New players:
Legends having base price of 1 Million
1. Malcolm Marshall

3. Anil Kumble
4. Steve Waugh
5. Wally Hammond
