I've been playing it and it's fun. Is every player a spin bowler though?

G'day,


Your player is randomised at the start. However, in the latest version you can specify your player batting and bowler type.

I'll check out the new version. I've played it quite a bit since getting it and have had other bowling types since. It's a fun game and works really well on the mobile platform as it's addictive but not too intensive. I'd recommend it for anyone reading this. I've been playing it during ads and breaks through out the india/australia series.

Excellent game kind of like a big brother version of my cricket player batsmen app which I developed few years ago in VB ,however I would like to see couple of new features.
1)Have a bowling speed mechanism for eg you start of as a 15 year old bowling at 110k and then as you grow older your bowling speed increases ,injuries makes you slow down ,add some random element as well , it will be great challenge to see if your player turns out to be a speed demon.
2)Have player loses attributes as well if we neglect some areas of training for so long and also poor form and injuries should also reduce attributes.

Also in my app there was an over by over simulation and aggression bar like in Icc game you could add that as an option for eg if you are bowling you can click 10 times to bowl 10 overs (if you are to finish your quota) and also for batting you have to keep clicking next over until you get out also you have aggression bar to give more control over innings.

Version 1.18 is now available: released (10th January, 2016).

Cricket Player Manager - Android Apps on Google Play


The aim of this release was to increase the relevance of the performance analyst, cricket academy, and also financial management. There have been plenty of new random events added and your player may receive messages from past cricket greats - this will give you extra insight into your player.

If you hire a performance analyst, than you will be able to view your player's skills (indicated by a progress bar) in the 'training' area. This will allow the manager to make more informed decisions. However, the progress bar will not indicate when the player has reached their full potential for a particular skill. If the player has reached potential for a particular skill, then further progress in those areas can only be achieved via elite training camps.

If you start a cricket academy, then the next player career will have access to a performance analyst straight up. This means that as soon as the career begins, skill ratings can be view in the 'training' area.

Financial management for your player is more important. Previously, you could get away with not buying shares or property. You still have the choice not to, however your player wants to know that you're doing your best to ensure the finances are managed properly. Your player might get upset if there are no investments or it seems that money is being wasted.

More player types and traits have been added to ensure that each career is different. Some players may also develop batting or bowling technique issues, which need to be resolve. These issues may appear in Level 3 and may make managing these players a lot harder. However, if these issues are resolved than your player could experience greater success.

Improvement list for 1.18.

- Updated interface
- Added progress bar indicating skill level to ‘Training’ area when a Performance Analyst is hired
- A Performance Analyst is hired automatically when a career is started from a cricket academy
- Messages from greats of the game help give insight to the type of your player being managed
- More emphasis on player financial management (investment in shares and property)
- Some cricketers may develop issues with bowling or batting technique, which need to be resolved
- Added player types (different players managed will have particular personalities and traits)
- More random events and newspaper headlines
- Some bug fixes
