Gameplay
The title menu.
The primary mode of play involves online competition. It gives players access to all of Cricket Revolution’s game play, community and competitive features and allows the players to connect with their friends. It also keeps track of all the players’ statistics, performance data, and match winning scores and innings. The tracked data is then posted online to overall leader board and ranking systems. Online leaderboards and scorecards allow access to batting and bowling statistics for all matches that they play across each season and see how they and their clubs rank against other individual players and rival clubs.
There is a Local Area Network option that allows players to play against each other on their local area network. The players can set any of the over formats and environment settings according to their preferences. Cricket Revolution is set to revolve around online play, although the game won't take emphasis away from its single player gameplay
