Nah just realistic.....most releases can take anywhere up to 9 months to be planned printed and distributed.....I believe there has been a lot less time this time round.
I will hopefully have more to share when I meet with the new company tomorrow but expect the first release to be very similar to NRL Power Play (standard card size though) with 4 different types of insert cards.
- Up and coming players
- Stars
- Superstars
- Legends
This release will also have a a huge leaning towards technology as well.
Yet to be confirmed but very close to it, is that the cards will be 10 card packs with 26 packs in a retail box. No price as yet.
Gee, it is a shame that Cricket Australia don't take a leaf out of this particular book.......cricket collectors just want SOMETHING to collect each summer that is card-related!
An interesting design. Hoping they make a few tweaks to the design before release. The fonts used don't look amazing and without wanting to be too critical, it looks like they have been pulled straight from MS Paint.
Looks as if the release will definitely have more of a Team Coach/Power Play feel to it as @Matt26 made mentioned to above with the stats on each card.

Yes Select always $3.99. I have to question the RRP for a release aimed predominently at kids. I also have some quality concerns compared to their competitors (if the sample card is reflective of the final release). Team coach $2.99, Powerplay $2.99 etc. I'm not convinced outside of Team Coach that game style cards 'work' in Australia. No doubt however there will be massive improvements for future releases. Proof will be in the pudding as TapNplay evolve. They would have had a tough time in producing something so quickly.
Like many here, I'm not a fan of the interactive/ virtual cards, but I'm quite sure they have seen how successful Topps & Futera have been with these types of cards. Its a great way for company to make $$$.
Definitely looking forward to their next release and I'm very eager to see what they have install of cricket.
