International Cricket Captain 2014 releases August 9th

International Cricket Captain is nearing release of their edition for 2014, with the game getting a much needed interface overhaul as one of its main features, along with improvements to the match engine and updates to the player database - as is traditional in the yearly releases. The game is being distributed via Steam for the first time, which I certainly appreciate. While there isn't any pricing information at this stage, the game is scheduled for release on the 9th for Windows PCs.

Official features list:

• New Interface: beautifully designed to enhance your playing experience.
  
• Improved Highlights: adding atmosphere and excitement.
  
• New Stadiums: new stadiums will be added shortly after release.
  
• Classic England vs. India scenarios: play one of the classic test series between these nations.
  
• Cup Modes: World Cup, Twenty Over Cup and Champions Cup modes.
  
• Domestic and International Modes: Captain domestic teams from the English, Australian and Indian leagues, an international team, or both.
  
• International and "All-Time Greats" Series: Play international series with current or all-time-great players.
  
• On-Line Play: updated and improved on-line engine. Play domestic and international matches over the internet, including improved detection of edited teams.
  
• Match Engine: further refinements to the game engine, giving greater realism in all match-types.
  
• Choose the Teams You Want to Captain: twenty over, one-day, first-class (or all three) for domestic and international competitions.
  
• Complete statistical update.
  
• Statistics: Player statistics for all domestic competitions.
  
• Database: Complete player database of over 4000 players, containing every current first-class or limited-over player from around the world.
  
• Records: Updated partnership and team records for first-class, one-day and twenty-over matches.
  
• Squads: Up-to date county, state and domestic twenty over squads for the new season.
  
• Fixtures: Comprehensive domestic and international fixture lists, including updated competition formats and rules.

Finally! The favorite cricket game of many of us has returned, and it is about time too..

I thought I was done with this game, but those screenshots look impressive and are going to drag me back in.

Will we see any improvement to associate nations involvement? Unlikely. Will we see domestic competitions expanded outside Australia, England and IPL? Even more unlikely. I could go on. Fancy UI isn't a game, it's about time the guys at Childish realised that.

In all fairness this is the first time they've focused on the UI for a while and it did require an overhaul.

They're also a relatively small company on a small budget, so you can't expect them to bring out a game to rival other sports, like a Football Manager for example.

Cricket Coach has a smaller budget still: yet they manage to support all ten test team domestic structures out of the box: as well as allowing DB editing...

We don't seem to have a big fanbase at all on here for either ICC or CC which I find quite surprising.

Strange how Steam says it releases tomorrow... Either way i'm hyped

We used to have quite a big fanbase for ICC a while back but that's died out over the past few releases. Many people have, like me, not really played the recent versions or don't play them as much
