Cricket Coach Pro is no longer available to purchase because the new version is on the way. The logic behind this being that surely people would rather wait a bit for the new game rather than purchasing the old one (which WILL still be supported) and then, perhaps, paying more money for the new one.
Cricket coach pro, where'd it go?

Was wondering if you could give away a bit of information here, will the match highlights be the same as CC or more like International cricket captain?

Well - I was going to buy the game this morning (Pro - online) as I'm off work for a week now. Still, reading the news of a new (improved) edition has cheered me up.
The argument over update costs is probably the reason why the original has been discontinued. Those of you who can't add up (or wait a week to get the credit on the Tresco' version) would claim you've been "ripped off" if a new version came out a few weeks after you bought the last one.
I like the idea of more idiosynchrosies in the individual players. Yes that means more stats "and many hidden" ones. But players who are the:
Pinch hitters (ie non specialist batsmen who can biff - Gilchrist, Dhoni, Oram)
Tail support specialists (Ramprakash, Bevan)
Dot ball bowlers.
Bad Wicket Opening Bats
Pigeon Catching close fielders
Club hopping merceneries
"Sick note" (Doug "Who ?" Bollinger)
Big match players (Vaughan and Gower)
New Skill Set Players (Craig White -Off Spinner turner 90mph plus bowler etc)
This would give a real sense of personality to the whole team. It wouldnt be just "Which stats are the most impartant and pick the highest - only alter if someone is injured" Which is how I win ICC games year on year
Alterable resolutions - so it looks good on a big screen.
Coaching idiosynchrosies (Did Chappell sort out Ganguly's short ball problem ? Moody oversaw Worcs relegated from both 1st class and ODI top divisions but somehow seems ok in the international arena why ?)
Specific batting and bowling strengths anf fallabilities. (Don't like spin, good cutter/puller, Doesn't like to bowl at overly aggressive batters)
Loads more I could think of. All a bit "subtle" I suppose, but those who spend hour after hour on the games would really appreciate the extra depth that gets revealed as you really get to know your team (that's why I emphasis that many of these are "hidden" stats - perhaps only hinted at through newspaper match reports or caoching observations).
Good luck Oli Glenn and the team. Looking forward to this one ...

Cricket Coach Pro is still there, on the same link as before.

In March we made a dodgy business decision, but a good morale decision. I would hate to buy a game, then a week or two later find out that a new version has come out.
Hence we decided to take off Cricket Coach Pro, and advise people to wait for a few weeks, and get the new game.
Not long to wait now... I just didn't want to see people buy the Pro version, then see a 2007 version has come out a few days later... that to me would be unfair

I believe, and whilst it may not happen, that people who bought last year's game should be entitled to either a free upgrade (doubt you guys are that nice though you do seem quite nice) or a discount (does seem reasonable).
