Game Overview
England and Australia’s fiercest cricket contest gets a serious, simulation-minded treatment, built around the 2017/18 men’s and women’s Ashes tours. Ashes Cricket captures the measured tension of Test matches as well as the explosive appeal of limited-overs cricket, where one loose delivery can disappear over the boundary. Its licensed squads, stadium presentation, and detailed player scans give the matches a recognisable broadcast feel without losing the hands-on challenge of controlling every crucial ball. The mood is competitive rather than arcade-like: patience, placement, and reading the conditions matter as much as brute force.
Batting revolves around full 360-degree shot selection, letting players work gaps, defend stubbornly, sweep spinners, or take calculated risks against the pace attack. Bowling demands more than simply hitting a target, with line, length, movement, field placement, and bowler type all shaping the battle between bat and ball. A single-player career lets you build a cricketer from lower-level competition toward international recognition, while official Ashes series provide the central licensed attraction. Local and online multiplayer also make room for full matches, quick contests, and the kind of long-form rivalries that cricket games are built to encourage.
Big Ant’s motion-captured animations help key players feel distinct at the crease and in their bowling actions, while male and female international teams receive equal prominence instead of being treated as an afterthought. Extensive creation tools for players, teams, and stadiums add useful longevity beyond the historical Ashes lineup, especially for fans who want to recreate their own competitions. Matches can be tuned to suit newcomers looking for accessible batting and bowling assistance, or hardened cricket followers who want demanding Test conditions and tactical field settings. Players who enjoy the deliberate authenticity of Don Bradman Cricket, or sports simulations where small decisions accumulate over a long contest, find Ashes Cricket a strong fit.
