International Cricket Captain

[eth-dog]

I mean I select the line-up, and then skip the whole game, letting the computer generate the entire result.

I do that when a series is won

I set it to replay wickets only.

I do that when bowling and no highlights when batting.

 

[Jukesy85]

Don't be a tightarse, buy 16

I probably will, just wanted to check whether it's a huge scam and no improvement on its predecessor or not

It really isn't an improvement on the other two. 15 is probably the best of the three.

 

[G Mus]

How many runs does he actually score each innings, though? I find he often has a high average that is boosted by like 40% of his innings being not-outs.

Not near his average but I've brought him in at 3 as a night-watchman and 6 a few times and he's been more than handy

I couldn't tell you...I'm not forking out for it either!

I guess the updated database is the key

That's the only reason I'd bother updating. I have both 14 & 15 but seem to play 14 more.

 

[Jukesy85]

I reckon I'll just go straight down the middle and buy 15. Good trade-off of price and improvements I'd say - cheers for the help lads!

 

[Snake Charmer]

14 lags a lot more than 16.

 

[Marklar_33]

Tried to 'Hansie' myself a result on the last day. Lost with 3 mins left, their 9th wicket stand was 40

No reason not to use Lyon in the game IMO. Often ends up with a strike rate below 60 with an economy rate of around 3.1-3.2, which is decent for a Test spinner these days.

I usually go with a Starc/Siddle/Hazlewood/Lyon bowling line-up in regular conditions, and O'Keefe/Starc/Hazlewood/Lyon in spinning conditions. You can still usually get a year or two of perfectly adequate seam bowling out of Siddle in the game, and Pattinson, Cummins or Bird don't often produce that much better.

Also, am I the only one that sims the majority of games, rather than playing ball-by-ball or over-by-over? I'm more interested in just getting through the series and generating the results and stats based on the teams I select. It would be nice to be able to have more control (being able to ensure the bowling order, and that particular bowlers actually get to bowl) in simulation would be nice, but I find I'm more into the management side of sports games rather than actually controlling the play myself.

Nathan Lyon is pretty average on my save.

Plus you play half your matches in Australia where the wickets don't turn.. So 4 seamers seem to get 20 wickets fine.

Then for my sub continent tours. My all rounder who bowls leg spin turns into Stuart macgill in the subcontinent.. So I rarely need to pick Lyon.



I usually play over by over in tests..

But in cc2016 I played over by over in ODIs.. Ended up losing 15 straight games. So now I just sim them.
Same with it20.

The match engine was much better in 2014.

 

[Mateyman]

I've also got a screen shot of a series where Lyon got about 25 wickets.

The craziest thing I've seen was in a big bash Comp for Perth and Klinger scored just over 1000 runs in 10 games. Lost the final haha

I had an ashes series where Lyon took between 40 and 50 wickets hahaha

16 has some good fun with the South African domestic system.

Its not a major gameplay change but I liked playing there and finding out about more of their players

 

[eth-dog]

India's quicks really suck whenever I play as them. I've just gone and used a 4 spinner attack now, usually Jadeja, Ashwin, Mishra and Jayant.

 

[Carl Hooper]

I wish I could play icc06 on my phone or tablet

Australian Cricket Captain 98 was the best.

 

[PTizzle]

This is the best individual score and team score I've ever had and best partnership too I'd wager. I kept expecting Warner to randomly get out like batsmen seem to in tests - it wasn't even on easy difficulty!

 

[ioppolo]

Out LBW on 413...for shame.

 

[Carl Hooper]

Hahahaha icc16 is the craziest the engines been in years..

When I had steve okeefe snare 8/70... I knew this years edition was a lil wonky

Odis still impossible to win

 

[the_big_sav]

Australian Cricket Captain 98 was the best.

im actually on a mission to get my copy to work again.

at this point my best option looks like buying an old laptop off ebay haha

 

[Carl Hooper]

I bought it off eBay for ps1 a couple years ago

But I think it had "Ashes" in the name.. Was that 98 or 99?

 

[ioppolo]

Ricky Ponting 2005 is still one of my favourites. AI on that was 100x smarter than DBC14 which is a huge factor for me.

 

[Marklar_33]

I think it was ICC 98, or 99, that I always enjoyed racking up 550+ innings totals in 50 overs vs the university sides

Might need a Pragyan Ojha or Axar Patel in there too, just to make sure you have enough options

 

[Snake Charmer]

Gurkett Singh is also a handy bowler. Or how ever his name is spelt. Can bat to

I really want to find a left arm leggie to round it out (even though they'll be a left arm offie in this anyway)
