Hello Howzat Cricketer! We just made an awesome update to the game you love. I’m sure you’d like to know more as this rolls off the servers and your PC’s. Read on!
- Cash, Coins and Energy Points
o Cash – this is the equivalent of ‘points’ earlier. You can use cash to buy player contracts for your team. Player contracts can be bought for daily/weekly or permanent contract periods. You can also use cash to buy energy points (Upto Level 10).
You can use cash to buy a variety of items, such as player contracts, coaches (coming soon), stadiums (coming soon), and other in-game items.
o Coins – Coins are the most valued currency in Howzat. You can use coins to buy players and energy points. You can get coins by filling surveys, or using one of the payment methods inside the ‘Get coins’ page.
Coins enable you to buy limited-edition and special-value items which are not always available with cash.
o Energy Points – Your players, like you, have only certain amounts of stamina and limited energy available to them. It’s upto you as manager to keep them energetic and motivated to play hard! Remember, each game takes 4 energy points from your players, and energy points recharge at the rate of 2 every hour. Alternatively, you can exchange cash or coins for an instant energy point boost.
- Better leveling systems
o Levelling in Howzat is now not just tied to the number of games you win, but also based on how well you do and interact within Howzat. You need to add a certain number of Howzat friends, along with winning matches like before, before you can level up.
- The all new ‘Manage Team’ page
o Get more in control than ever before with the new Howzat manage team page. Customize your squad, make your own jerseys, strategize batting order, swap players on the bench, utilize your player contracts wisely and more!
- Bowling
o No more annoying Yorker spammers with the new Howzat bowling mechanism! Each bowler gets a box, or an ‘area’ where he wants to pitch the ball, and our system generates a point where the exact ball will pitch. However, the reward is not entirely for the batsman – as bowlers level up, the size of the box gets smaller and the pitch pointer gets more accurate.
The new bowling algorithm is made to encourage bowling on a good length. You will witness more variation in bowling line and length if bowling at a yorker or a bouncer length, but more accuracy when bowling good length or short-pitched bowling.
- Match Fees, and Win bonuses
o Win Match Fees, and get rewarded for finishing games – Match fees are just like the ‘points’ you used to win the older version of Howzat. How much you win per match depends on your level, and also the level of your opponent. Also, you will be handsomely rewarded with cash if you finish a game – so quitters, remember – Everytime you quit, your opponent benefits a LOT more than you!
Match Fees increase with your level. We also provide a win-bonus. The Winning Bonus depends on your own level, and the level of your opponent. The higher the level of your opponent in relation to you, the higher reward you can expect to win.
