GUIDES
Why a Captain Matters: Bowling changes, fields at the death, and holding a side together in a chase: what a T20 captain actually decides, and why the vice-captaincy is a real choice.
How IPL Auctions Work: Purse caps, retention and overseas-player limits: the mechanics behind a T20 franchise auction, and how the game puts you through the same calls.
How Real Careers Become In-Game Ratings: Every player is built from real career numbers. How an average and a strike rate become a rating, and the trick that makes a higher rating actually buy survival.
Why Your 99-Rated Star Still Gets Out: Peak seasons in T20 cricket look almost superhuman. Why CricArcade keeps its very best players clearly great without letting them become un-dismissable.
How a T20 Innings Is Modelled: Powerplay, middle and a death where everyone slogs: how 20 overs are shaped, calibrated to hundreds of thousands of real IPL deliveries.
Who Bowls This Over? The AI's Bowling Rotation: Pace at the death, spin through the middle, and a part-timer who tails off: how the engine picks a bowler for every over, and why it feels like captaincy.
One Engine, Five Formats: ODI, T20, online versus, the BBL and the super over run on the same engine, separated only by a handful of numbers. What actually changes between formats.
