Cricket Star Manager

Over the past year, interest in play-to-earn (P2E) games has skyrocketed, powered by the explosive growth of cryptocurrency and NFTs. Games industry heavyweights, such as EA and Ubisoft believe P2E games are the future of gaming and with a gaming industry that is already worth upwards of $175 billion, combined with a P2E gaming market currently worth ~$32 billion and a crypto industry valued at ~$2.5 trillion… you’ve got yourself a genuine revolution in the way people play, earn, and connect.

A Cricket P2E Game?

Cricket is the predominant sport in over 17 countries including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom and Australia. The total addressable population is over 2.5 billion followers across the globe, making it the world’s second most popular sport. Cricket is so popular that there has twice been over one billion people simultaneously watching the ICC Cricket World Cup, in 2015 and 2019.

The cricket industry has an annual valuation of ~$2 billion, with this figure increasing at a blistering pace with the further digitisation of sport and the reopening of the world, post-pandemic. The media rights for India’s IPL were recently valued at $5 billion for the next five-year cycle, a clear indication of the financial potential of the cricket industry.

The Cricket Star Manager team is composed of both gaming and blockchain industry veterans, including the founders of Gold Town Games. By tapping into the experience and success of their previous title, World Hockey Manager, with over two million downloads and over 100 million matches played, our team is creating a P2E game that will target a huge, overlooked niche and a massive fan base, while giving our users not just a great gaming experience but also the ability to earn real rewards for playing.

Introducing Cricket Star Manager

Cricket Star Manager is a fully featured sports management simulator, built on the Unity engine.

As a player in Cricket Star Manager, you create your own cricket team, starting in the lowest leagues alongside other beginners and just like in the real world, you can try to climb the divisions and compete for the highest title in your country. If you are successful in conquering your country, you can fight to be the number one cricket team in the world and enjoy all the spoils that come along with being the number one Cricket Star Manager!

Players stake and earn Cricket Buck ($CRIX) to participate in the game and when a cricket match is finished, $CRIX are split and distributed among the winning team, the stadium owner, and the spectators who supported the winning team. Using your winnings, you can draft new players to your roster, acquire legendary players/items and even a stadium to host games yourself.

Cricket Star Manager NFTs

Players

Each cricket player NFT on a team is different: speed, strength, stamina, and accuracy stats are all differentiators (the higher, the rarer), each generated as a NFT, which can level up, increasing their stats and abilities. When teams win matches, they win the game’s in-game currency which is used to evolve their players and team to higher levels (leveling up). Cricket player NFTs that reach a certain level can be bought and sold through the marketplace.

Once Cricket Star Manager is launched, player NFTs showing real cricket players will also be added to the game through licensing deals with leagues, clubs and individual players.

In learning from mistakes made in other NFT-games’ economies, specifically a constant inflation of game assets, Cricket Star Manager’s economy introduces elements of deflation (for example, retiring cricket players at a certain age etc.).

Stadiums

Skilled players in the game will have the opportunity to transform their basic cricket field into a stadium. Stadiums are issued as NFTs and owners can host games, tournaments, and special events, collecting fees from games played in their stadiums. A stadium can also be rented out to other players. Stadiums can also evolve over time, increasing their potential to host games and subsequently growing the player’s income.

When not hosting games, a player’s stadium is used for training the user’s cricket players, growing their experience during idle time thus increasing their skill and value.

Cricket Star Manager Tokens ($CSM and $CRIX)

Cricket Star Manager utilizes two tokens, $CSM and $CRIX.

$CSM is the premium and governance token with a fixed supply of 100 million. Token holders can stake $CSM to govern the community treasury, increase their asset values and affects how they earn these assets via gameplay. Owning $CSM opens access to exclusive NFT drops and sales. Early $CSM token holders will also receive $CRIX in the $CRIX Genesis drop.

$CRIX is the in-game currency and players earn $CRIX, by leveling up, winning matches, watching games etc. $CRIX can be spent to draft new players, train cricket players and speed up events, such as recovery from injuries. All transactions made in the P2P market will require $CRIX and users will be able to trade $CRIX for fiat currency through exchanges.

The Future of Cricket Star Manager

Considering the incredible potential of P2E games and the popularity of cricket around the world, Cricket Star Manager is poised to bring the best of both worlds. Not only will this game offer players an enjoyable and addictive gameplay experience, it also enables an additional, potentially life changing income stream for thousands of people in India, Bangladesh, and surrounding developing countries where cricket is massively popular.

The sports manager genre in the game industry is known for loyal players who can remain active for many years and by including P2E game mechanics, user retention will be multitudes higher as players can truly own their own teams…and receive all the benefits of doing so!

The team at Cricket Star Manager is determined to become one of the top 10 employers/income providers in India by 2023, and prove that gaming is much more than just a fun pastime.

More details about the game, public sale and timelines will be released soon. In the meantime we invite you to join us on this journey via our social channels listed below.
