International cricket captain

International Captain
ICC 2010 has been released and I've just downloaded the 2 day trial. It's pretty good so far, quite realistic and I'm loving the Australian domestic game mode. Having the option to play as Australian states in addition to English counties is a really nice feature.

I didn't expect the trial to be available this early, thats very encouraging.

Heres a further run down of the new game and its features:
More game play options & features
Full schedule of limited overs and 20 over world cup fixtures, including the 20 over world cup game mode.
New Australian domestic cricket circuit, including first class, one day and 20 over competitions.
New English cricket competitions, including the 20 over league packed with overseas stars.
More aggressive and challenging match engine captures the modern game to perfection.
Play on-line with your English or Australian domestic team.
Sign reserve overseas players and specialist 20 over players
Improved vice-captain when skipping matches.

Complete statistical update
Complete database of every current first class, list-A limited overs and twenty over player from around the world (over 3000 players).
Comprehensive domestic and international fixture lists.
New sort and search database interface, including career strike rates for batsmen.
Accurate batsmen aggression ratings and improved player rating system.

International Cricket Captain 2010 is the most detailed, accurate and exhilarating version yet of the number one cricket management simulator. We’re very excited to bring you a game which not only builds on the iconic series, but takes it to a new level. Can you succeed in the most realistic English domestic season yet, while taking your favourite national side to be top of the test championship? You can also try your hand in the most competitive domestic circuit in the world in the brand new Australian domestic season.

Offering greater control than ever, you will be instantly immersed as you battle to take your side to the top. Whether it is developing your youth players to be the next superstar, or signing the very best cricketers in the world, the Cricket Captain experience has never been so rich. The fast paced world of 20-over cricket is more realistic. With improved opposition and a re-modelled match engine, you’ll face your greatest and most realistic challenge yet in the newest form of the game. Guide your batsmen to get settled quickly and you can see them truly punish the bowling. Should you set defensive fields or try to restrict the scoring with quick wickets. Time things just right and you could produce a performance to win the world cup.

The English domestic season has seen a major overhaul, with a revamped and more competitive transfer system keeping the opposition teams in perfect balance decades into the future. You can now play two overseas stars in the expansive 20 over tournament as well as a reserve player if your main overseas is unavailable for selection. Playing the new Australian domestic career is a truly challenging experience. The quality of cricket is exceptional and the contract section pushes your talent, as you decide if the grade cricketers are good enough for your state team as well as which international cricketers you want to play in the 20 over competition.

Team and squad selection has been improved with new statistics views, including career strike rates for batsmen, new quick views for averages, and the ability to sort tables with a range of new filters.

International player ratings have also been improved in this edition, making the international career more realistic. With the 20 over world cup now occurring every two years, the hectic international schedule will offer another fantastic challenge in International Cricket Captain 2010.

Played for an hour this morning. Such a delight to select Victoria in an ICC game. Hardly noticed any of the other changes, the in-game interface was almost identical to 2009.

Will probably purchase based on the Australian format alone.

Downloading myself, really keen to get stuck into a NSW save for 2 days.

Just $23 bucks to buy.

Scored over 700 against South Australia for the loss of 1 wicket. Hussey and Jewell scored triples, slightly unrealistic.

Gee thats a worry - and thats obviously on the harder difficulty? I don't think I've ever had two players score 300s in the same match in the entirety of my ICC games.

I'm not sure I've ever had a 300 :(
Marcus North got close for Glamorgan though. 260 odd IIRC

Had it happen 3 times, a 672 run opening partnership (354 and 309), 945 for the 2nd wicket (500 and 471) and an 808 run stand for the 4th (461 and 382). All with regens though.

That said, Sth Australia are pretty average at the moment.

It's unfortunate that NSW lose Jaques and Hughes to international duty all the time when they hardly do IRL. Leaves you playing 2 keepers and/or 2 allrounders because you're a batsman short.

It's weird to think when I buy this game, I'll actually be getting rid of international stars from the NSW team, unless they have Australia contracts (like the England system).

Downloading right now. I hope they made Sri Lankan spinners less god-like in this version. In 2009 you can pretty much get the county championship by signing a srilankan spinner who averages under 20, it wouldn't be so bad if such bowlers were rare but there are several of them and noone seems to sign them which is unrealistic.

Haha, Pishin Hewage in my Glamorgan game was unreal. Took like 80 wickets at 17 and then averaged 30 odd with the bat.

Will proabably download the trial, I have never bought a cricket captain game before or even played them that much. I am going to buy the new one when it comes out, is there a release date?

Looking forward to playing it. :)

Yes-ish.
Though the format of the English domestic season is so dire. Have played 11 T20s in a row now.
Just posted 215 in my last one. Only 3 sixes. Hmm.

Oh and Dave Hussey is far too good at T20.
