Alex Walker said on 1 January 2001 I only bought Australian Cricket Captain a little while ago, and just wanted to give some feedback on it.1) It says it supports Windows 98, but with the demo and Windows 95, I was able to run the highlights on my p133 nicely. Now with Windows 98SE, the highlights ALWAYS lock up. Its incredibly annoying, which brings me to my second point. I would suggest the normal - make sure you have the latest Windows 98 drivers for you graphics and sound card. 2) Thankfully, there seems to be no noticeable difference in running with or without highlights, unlike in ICC. However, in one of your previous tips, Victoria was mentioned as being crap in one-dayers and perfect at Sheffield Shield. Thankfully, this is complete bollocks, as I managed to win the Mercentile Mutual Cup and come last in the Sheffield Shield. 3) There has been mentioned that the influence is now further towards batting, but in my experience that is also bollocks and the emphasis is firmly on bowling. For example In the 2nd innings of Test or Sheffield Shield matches, you need to go on 2 aggression when they start otherwise you suffer a massive batting collapse with no remorse. 4) The field sets seem slightly changed and thankfully you can use fielding positions for ICC for ACC. 5) The tactics that can be used for ACC are definitely not as effective as in ICC. Whether this has anything to do with the shift of emphasis I don't know but I printed 15 pages of tips from you guys and I lost the Ashes & both series to Pakistan in the first year, I still can't win the Sheffield Shield, and its generally very annoying. 6) The lack of competitions is realistic, but nowhere near as fun. 7) Lack of teams is annoying as well, and being unable to play as ACT Comets is sad because playing as the underdog (and winning, too) is always fun. 8) Empire don't put out patches for Australian Cricket Captain, and the inability for scenarios and editors to be backwards compatible is crap from my point of view considering I can't buy ICC in Australia. ACC is totally different in structure from ICC which is why the two games can not be compatible.
Simon O'Donnell said on 10 June 1999 A couple of points worthy of note on Australian Cricket Captain. A great game, and an improvement on International Cricket Captain. But here are a few mistakes.
Some cosmetic errors but I thought people would want to know.
Damian Gleeson said on 7 May 1999 Just a couple further points about ACC. I Have been playing playing for some time now and discovered some bugs. 1) Players can play domestic and international games at the same time. 2) After taking on Aussie job domestic results are not updated on club info page. After playing 3 seasons as Tassie and 1 complete season as Aus. I checked on the progress of Tassie but was not updated since 00/01 season end. The computer date was Nov 2002. Damian Gleeson said on 17 April 1999 I recently purchased ACC and reckon its the best thing since sliced bread! A couple of comments for you.
Received on 21 March 1999 Australian Cricket Captain is a an enjoyable game if you are a patient person. Sometimes it does feel like the computer cheats, but then most I think that about most games. The stats are pretty good but the limited teams does make it a little boring sometimes. Another problem is the lack of a 2 player game. Overall it is quite enjoyable but quite hard, especially when Victoria seem to be perfect at Sheffield Shield but are then totally crap in the One Dayers. Geoff Quinn said on 13 March 1999 I recently bought Australian Cricket Captain. It is very very similar to ICC, but of course all australian players and teams. I am only worried that it will be easy to get bored of, with only 6 teams in the competitions. I like the ideas of players moving interstate, and also the ACB contracts. Did not think Australian Cricket Captain was out yet. Hints See ICC Hints 'n' Tips. Cheats See ICC Cheats. Links See ICC Links. Screenshots See ICC Screenshots. |
