The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players say the series has barely changed since the 2000s, lacking basic features like player attributes or youth development. The limited-overs engine is widely considered broken. A few fans find it addictive, and the 2024 edition improved commentary and balance, but many feel it is just a database update not worth buying.
