*repost* I’ve been working on a browser-based Cricket Career Simulator where you start from school cricket and try to become an international legend.
You create a player, pick your batting role, and progress through club → district → domestic → franchise cricket → national team. The whole thing is playable in browser with no download.
The main thing I wanted was for it to actually feel like cricket instead of just clicking buttons randomly. You need to build your innings, manage risk, adapt to pitch conditions, survive tough spells, deal with form streaks/injuries, and earn promotions season by season.
A few things currently in the game:
- Ball-by-ball match engine
- Different batting styles & risk system
- Dynamic commentary
- Real franchise/international teams at higher levels
- Career progression & contracts
- Auction system
- Injuries, form streaks, achievements
- Equipment/coaches/upgrades
- Retirement + Hall of Fame system
Recently added:
- Animated TV-style scorecard
- Fan following/social media progression
- Endorsement deals
- Match highlight moments after games
- Dynamic difficulty adjustments
It’s still in beta and currently batsman-only, but bowling/all-rounder careers and longer formats are planned next.
Would genuinely love feedback from cricket fans on balancing, realism, difficulty, or ideas.
