From The Pavilion

[mukul]

Hi
While looking at a bt related site I came across from the pavillion, a brand new cricket manager game, that started about 3 days ago. There are more stats that in bt for each player, which will probably make it more of a challenge and there is a full youth team for each person. If you sign up to any country apart from England and Australia you will go into division 3 or 4 (with divs 1 and 2 empty). I've only had my team (WHCC in Sl) for a day, but already it seems like a good game.

thanks

This game released about 2 and a half years ago.

You start in division either division 5, 6 or 7 when you start.

Despite the errors in your facts, I've been playing since the start and it's 100% better than BT which is a fail game.

Battrick >>>>> FTP.

Battrick >>>>> FTP.

On what basis you say this? I mean on what criteria?

[Funknath]

There are many criteria tbh..and I cba writing it down now tbh..I have played both FTP and BT and I rate BT higher !

[thedon5]

I have also played both...

And Battrick is an amateurish, boring game.

tbh creating a well balanced team in FTP takes like 4 months...but in BT you require 1-1.5 years to create a proper balanced team!! BT more challenging than FTP!

It takes 4 months if you buy old players off the market who don't go for much, this is what one guy has done, his team is fine for now but he will be very weak just 1 or 2 months from now.

If you want a team that is balanced on both age and skills, it takes a very long time, atleast 8 months, and that is only if you are good at using both the transfer market and if you generally know how to play the game well (decent youth and senior investments, good match orders, etc.). FTP is a challenge, but if you spend enough time you should be able to rise to the top.

You're like a monkey in BT. Go find a computer program to find out how many financial advisors I need, how many psychologists and how many covered and uncovered seats I need. Then I need to put a few players on decent nets, and bam, I'm set for many seasons. Other than that, there is basically nothing else to do other than surfing the TL and setting match orders, but even in that you are restricted with only a few amount of bowling spells, and you can only use 5 bowlers max. The design of the site is hardly user friendly at all too, it took me 6 months before I realised sledging was forums and not something to do with swearing or something.

The ME is also constantly being modified, unlike the BT ME which stays stagnant for years. FTP is also getting a complete site redesign next week...

Most people who switch over from BT do not like FTP because they are used to BT, I was like this for a while, but while playing both for a while, I realised that FTP was giving me a large amount of enjoyment... And BT was boring as hell. So I've been farming for a while now in FTP.

With all the new changes, Battrick will also become Bugtrick, we have already seen some of these in the past few days.

Player abilities are useless too, 1 in over 300 will have one of the group 2 abilities, talents in FTP work much, much better.

BT is for people who like using computer programs which other people made for useless things, FTP is for people who want a deep, entertaining cricket management game.
