International Cricket Captain 2008

Cricket is quite the popular sport in the United Kingdom, although it is played at an international level and most nations have a team representing them at major events. However, it is not as popular as soccer, football, or basketball in the USA and the rest of the Europe, which means that the sport goes largely unnoticed on television, or in the press.

Naturally, the job is much more complicated than portrayed in the game, but it comes pretty close and you have plenty of responsibilities as it is.

To start off with, you need to choose a team and start training the players, while also managing the squad, contracts, scouting and everything else you might need to keep an eye on to make sure that everything goes smoothly. The database is quite huge, so you shouldn’t run into any problems when it comes to finding a specific team, or having the correct information about rosters.

Once you are done fiddling with the squad, you can simulate entire matches or seasons at once, although you are much safer if you choose to observe the games yourself. This way, you have the possibility to pause and rethink your approach whenever something doesn’t work as it should, by changing the tactics mid-game and manually choosing what players to take over.

Speaking of which, a huge amount of information is available for every player and some of the staff members, including everything that classifies as salary, past history with other clubs, and even a bit of personal background. This can be extremely helpful when you are scouting for new talent, because you can find out a lot about someone by reading about them.

In the end, International Cricket Captain 2008 is the type of game that can keep you busy for month after month, since there are no two similar sessions and you basically have unlimited freedom to try any kind of tactics. Hence, the game is definitely worth a try, especially if you are a fan of the sport.
