Our take on Ashes Cricket
The focus on the 2017/18 Ashes tours gives the game a defined cricket setting, but limits its licensed stadium coverage and tour context to that specific period rather than a wider historical scope.
What is Ashes Cricket?
Ashes Cricket recreates the men's and women's 2017/2018 Ashes tours as a cricket game.
Matches include 360-degree batting, selectable batting and bowling styles, and performances captured from star Test players. Career mode lets players take control of a star or begin as a junior in club cricket before reaching international level. The Cricket Academy supports creating players, teams and umpires, with uploads to an online community. Players can also create stadiums and logos for custom competitions. The game includes stadiums from the 2017/18 Ashes tour, while Australian and English men's and women's teams have official photorealistic likenesses. Online play supports matches with or against other players.
