Cricket Coach 2012
The Game -
For those who are wondering what Cricket Coach is all about, its a sports management simulation that allows you to be the coach of a team. It is very much like Football Manager and those who've played it would feel at home here. CC gives you more control over the dynamics of a team than ICC whereby you not only manage the pitch, the stadium, the first team, contracts and the finances but also managing fixtures, controlling the A-team, seconds and even the under 19 team. It is much more comprehensive in that regard and also let's you be in control of any team - including Fiji (yes, they play cricket there) or some lowly club in Zimbabwe. The career option here is very realistic and you can start unemployed, settle with a small team, and slowly improve your ratings till the big teams start begging you to take hold of their teams. There are some very interesting features and the attention to the small details is exceptional. This is pretty much as complete a coach you can ever be, living the dream to lead your favorite team to unimaginable glories.
Features -
CC has always been about stats and this edition doesn't disappoint. Which cricket fan, does not like statistics? The numbers are mind boggling and the things you can do with them even more so, as you try to arrive at a decision such as dropping a player. The stats for even the lesser known teams is stunning and makes the game that much more geekier. The stats is overwhelming at times and that's the beauty of it all. The database is easily searchable and you can do quick research and planning based on it.
The CC almanac [example] in my opinion is one of the coolest features ever! It is a compilation of all the events of the year saved as an HTML document which you can view anytime. Again, it is an archive of stats and numbers and its all based on your performances. So its nothing but your records!
You can also delegate some responsibilities to your assistant coach so you're not burdened with every trivial decision and can concentrate with the first team. You can also schedule practice matches for your players before an important series. You can negotiate the number of matches in a series with the other cricket boards and schedule more series on top of the already hectic FTP, if you think your players are just lazy and have time to play. You can also arrange friendlies to make your players schedule more hectic.
The various T20 leagues such as the IPL and the BBL are well represented and though the teams have different names (due to CC not owning the rights), they are well represented and again the depth in details is very impressive.
The menu still continues to look like something from the 80s and despite the various improvements the general UI feels retro and not very 21st century like. However the plus side of this is that everything is bright and easy to find. Unlike ICC 2012, there are no 3D graphics and I'm not a fan of the 2D graphics one bit. It gets very dull and playing long hours can be very irritating. I know most people wouldn't mind it, but for me the graphics does matter and that is one big thing CC lacks.
These are just a few features that caught my eye and if I had to talk about every single one then I'd have a long, long article to write. CC is all about stats and details and that is the thing that makes this game sell. However be warned that it has a very small audience and unless you consider yourself a cricket fanatic, then you wouldn't enjoy this game much. For a cricket fan like me who always wonders just what it would be like to be in a dressing room with Dhoni and run it, this game is a dream come true.
Key new features for 2012
How did I fare playing CC 2012?
Not very well. The learning curve is quite steep and it takes some time just getting used to the menu and where everything is. After that is the understanding of the way the match engine and how it works. I found myself declaring what I thought to be good targets to set only to find the opposition reach it with overs to spare. But once I got the hang of it, I did fine and in my Indian career, I managed to win 5 series without losing a match (some 18 matches there).
