    Absolutely terrible game clear bugs that just could not have been missed are there immediately. There are no difficulty settings, no online play and terrible performance issues. The controls and gameplay are a huge step back on previous games, and there are nearly no redeeming features. Avoid.

    The worst game of all time, period. Absolutely destroys the notion of Cricket being a fun sport to play at home on PC. Complete lack of the understanding of the fundamentals of the sport, along with massive glitches making the game often unplayable and hilarious. AI is about as intuitive as a blind meercat, resulting in comedy scenarios of which, there are now plenty on YouTube to enjoy.The worst game of all time, period.

    Absolutely disgraceful, not only is this game visually appalling, lacking in any depth in gameplay, repetitive and bug ridden, it completely manages to discredit the Ashes as a Brand and as the biggest cricketing series in the world. It makes me sad to see such a stark misrepresentation of the sport, and 505 games should be absolutely ashamed that this even got onto the market.

    I cannot understand how anybody in their right mind would allow this to go through, this game is an absolute basket case, and a shoe-in for the worst game of 2013. It seems like a lazy cash grab thrown together at the last minute without any due care or attention for the nuances of cricket, or even gaming in general. There are flash games on the internet that are miles better than this garbage, yes, I mean it, it is that bad.

    505 Games, you've let gaming down, you've let cricket down,you have let all the legends of Ashes series past down, but worst of all, you've shown absolutely no care or respect to one of the greatest sporting events in the world.

    This game is a 0/10, it has absolutely NO redeeming qualities.    … Expand

    We knew this game was gonna suck, but it is just amazing how bad it is. It's like a pre-alpha game released to the public. Absolutely pathetic. The worst game I've ever played.

I went with the hope that Codemasters would have tweaked this game in all aspects given the time delay from June. To my dismay, they didn't.

    This is a train, plane, ship, and car crash all in one. Avoid like the plague!
    Fielding is automatic, as in automatically stuffed you can get 100+ runs off one ball if you hit the ball slow enough! Vote this to be the worst game EVER!

    This game is terrible, there are so many bugs it's unbelievable and should never have been released. The developers (Trickstar Games) and the publisher (505 Games) should be extremely embarrassed by this pathetic excuse of a game.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

    I too created an account just to add to the numerous reviews here. Agree with everything said, I paid $20 for this garbage and have been totally cheated. It is not even worth $1 and the developers and publishers should be ashamed of what they have done, and issue a public apology asp. DO NOT BUY!

    Just not Cricket. Unprofessional and sloppy attempt at a game. 505 Games, Trickstar and even Steam should be up on criminal charges of Theft (for charging money for this abortion of a game) and Fraud (for calling it a game). They fail to understand the basics of Cricket let alone Programming... anyone involved with making this game or who rates it more than a 1 should be sterilized.

Controls that are inspired by cricket games of the late 90s and early 2000s (no foot selection option) and graphics and animations that makes the game look like a game from the 90s but better resolution. Glitches include, 8 fielders looking for a ball together which is lying in front of them and batsmen taking 30 runs in one ball this way, Wrong fielders fielding the ball, stadium floodlights not turning up, catchers getting credit for the wicket. A horrible game over all.… Expand

    Pathetic attempt at a game we all love so much. Even if we try to ignore the glaring bugs in graphics and animations, we just cannot accept a game which gets the basic fundamentals of the game wrong. .This game should be burnt to ashes.

    This is the worst cricket game ever developed. In fact this is one of the worst cricket games ever developed, right at par with E.T. Even if unaccountable bugs are fixed the game should not fetch more then zero points. Released in November 2013 the game gives a look & game play inferior to 1999 Brian Lara Cricket.Simply not worth buying or playing.

    Horrific game, not one redeeming quality. It is buggy to the point it is unplayable, it just is NOT good enough to be sold at ANY price. Games 7 years older than this are SUBSTANTIALLY better. Unfortunately, this isn't the cricket game for me, but hopefully an alternative crops up soon.

    It is a sad day for cricket games when you see some of these bugs, absolutely insane really.

    This is undoubtedly the most disappointing cricket game that has been released. It is completely unplayable, thanks to the frequently game breaking bugs, no tutorial or practice nets, incredibly stupid animation, and the lack of any real animation in the characters.

It is completely unplayable, thanks to the frequently game breaking bugs, no tutorial or practice nets, incredibly stupid animation, and the lack of any real animation in the characters.

    The developers (505 Games) announced before the first Ashes series in England that they were delaying the release of this game because "...it simply wasn't good enough." It is mind boggling, that even with the extra time during development, the game that was released feels like it was rushed out.

    The game is incredibly ugly, with character models looking like flesh coloured sticks that barely move, let alone look like they are actually playing a game of cricket. More often than not, batsmen would collide with other players, if they didn't just morph into one entity of spasms. The fielders are just as bad, because if they aren't throwing the ball to the other boundary, or not going for catches (which would normally be quite easy to catch in other cricket games) they kind of just have the ball materialise in their hand, which is very confusing if you are on the batting team, making run outs a much more frequent occurrence than what is considered normal.

    I was very excited for this game because it was the first cricket game in about 7 years, but it wouldn't be unfair if this game doesn't play as well as a cricket game from 20 years ago.

    I could go on about the lack of options, online multiplayer, no chance to change visual options (aside from screen resolution), or lack of atmosphere in game, or I could just sum up my opinion in one sentence.

    A cricket game that isn't fun, and it feels like it is in a pre beta stage of development. Avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    The usual cliched comment that cricket is not a big enough market is nonsense. Most popular sport in India (They've got a few people over there!), also Australia! Hugely popular in England, South-Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies, Sri-Lanka and others. Just make a decent game for a change, that does not favour certain teams. Sure bangladesh does not have the No.1 side at the moment, but why would a bangladesh supporter want a game that handicaps their favourite team by default? A well designed online competitive cricket game would surely rake in enough money!    … Expand
