Summary
If you are a cricket fan and like to get immersed in the tactics of the game, Championship Cricket Manager puts you in the stressful yet rewarding role of the team boss. Choose from over 125 managerial positions worldwide, take your team to the very top of the league and capture The Ashes.
Championship Cricket Manager is a realistic and challenging simulation, and for the first time ever, you can manage teams such as the West Indies, Australia and England. There are statistics for more than 3,500 players, and statistics including all aspects of a player’s attributes, including batting, bowling and fielding skills. Buying, trading and selling the right players is an important part of any manager’s job, and finding the perfect team combination is the first step to victory. As your success rating increases, you will be offered better positions and improved contracts.
The depth of this game is amazing, even when compared to other comprehensive management titles. All professional grounds, players, domestic and international competitions are faithfully recreated. Once you have decided on your line-up and formulated your strategy, it’s time to take to the pitch to watch the teams battle it out. Reacting to the other teams’ tactics in real-time is a true test of a good manager.
You can use the game’s Editor feature to create your own players and modify existing player and ground data. Once you’ve accumulated a cupboard-full of awards and trophies, you can print out your records to show off to your friends. With support for up to eight players on a single PC, Championship Cricket Manager is a surprisingly good multi-player game as well.
