However, while that will thrill PC and console fans alike, there are a lot of cricket titles out this year that bring portable device players into the mix, especially mobile users. The only real question is: how do they compare?
Due to the boom in every sector of the gaming market, it means popular sports games that were once confined to one medium, and often overlooked, have now expanded and become more mainstream. We’ve decided to take a look at the some of the games on consoles, PCs, and smartphones so that you can make an informed decision about which one is best suited to your needs.
Cricket Unlimited
This IOS and Android app is a mixed bag when all is said and done – it’s a relatively easy game to get into, but the gameplay isn’t as advanced as it could be and therefore lets the title down. A lot of avid cricket fans want to be able to tailor their experience so that it mimics the matches they see in real life, whereas Cricket Unlimited makes it all very easy for you – you don’t have to deal with different throw types or movement, you just tap and release. Still, as far as accessibility goes, this game is great if you fancy a cricket game that is easy to pick up but just as easy to put down.

Unlike some activities, here you can take your cricket experience online and play with various other users, or you can opt for single player matches should you prefer solitary gaming. Moreover, the graphics match the in-depth texture of the title – it isn’t just a flash in the pan and you’re bored within seconds, it’s involved and dynamic, meaning you get an authentic experience every time.
Don Bradman Cricket 2014
Don Bradman games are the epitome of cricket gaming, which is something a great many players will agree, and as such we couldn’t have this rundown without mentioning the 2014 version of the game. Although the 2016 is a title we’re eagerly anticipating, the 2014 is the only game that has encapsulated the atmosphere of real life cricket competitions, similar to those yourself and others bet on when they visit well known brands like Betway. The complexity that goes into cricket is translated well onto the screen, and allows you to experience all the tribulation that the batters and bowlers you know so well go through every match. This is about as authentic as it can get, well, until the latest game is out, and then Don Bradman Cricket 14 might have to bow down to it’s 2016 counterpart.
As you can see, when mobile games are compared against PC and console titles, they tend to fall a little short of what players want. Nevertheless, that isn’t to say that they aren’t without their merits and advantages. For now, however, it would seem that gamers looking for depth, intricacy and personalisation of their style, should primarily opt for bigger titles than casual ones. However, with the introduction of augmented reality gaming said to be on the way, mobile games could soon come back swinging.
