In my baseball projects, I find that I have little or no interest in playing any season past 1990, except for the Giants’ postseason campaigns when they won the World Series.
Though my fictional baseball leagues are based in more recent years (2016-).
As for football, I’m content playing the 1967 Denver Broncos season, dabbling a bit in the 1958 NFL season. I own the 2015 season only because of the Broncos Super Bowl championship, the majority of the other seasons that I own are pre-1990 as well.
I’ve had the itch to play football lately, but my disillusionment with the current NFL has stopped me from starting a new project with more recent teams and seasons.
The fictional league that I played with Pen & Paper Football was fun, but that was more of a quick-play game.
So I may go back to a project that I started to put together back in 2014: the Football Clubs of America league, using the 2014 Football America fictional league from PLAAY Games.
I went as far as renaming the teams and creating a schedule, so I may start from there again and maybe play a game occasionally.
The teams:
National Conference
Golden Bay Invaders
Los Angeles Bulldogs
New York Knights
Oklahoma City Wranglers
Portland Storm
San Antonio Riders
American Conference
Chicago Winds
Detroit Wheels
Memphis Hound Dogs
New Jersey Generals
Orlando Renegades
Philadelphia Bell
16-week schedule, no byes, teams play conference opponents twice and non-conference opponents once, top conference teams meet in the Championship Game.
We’ll see if I ever get this project started or not.
Stay tuned!
Edit: my mistake, it’s actually the Football America 2013 season.
