Computer Sims

Hey, Chris, why don’t you play any sports sims on your computer?

Because the few times that I did, all I would do would simulate a season and be done in a few minutes.  There’s no fun in that.

And it would take about the same amount of time to play a dice and cards game or match as it would on the computer.

My only use of a computer during a game replay is to keep score, and occasionally look up pinch hitters/relief pitchers used in a given baseball game that I’m replaying.

And truth be told, lately I’m enjoying the heck out of my soccer games and scoring them by hand.

I did have Strat-O-Matic on my old PC, but never installed it on my newer PC.  I maybe played 1-2 full games using the 2010 season card set.

I also had Strategic Baseball Simulator on some of my PCs in the past, but again I played a handful of games or simulated an entire season.

And of course I had APBA on my PC for the longest time, and simulated individual games, just to hear the prerecorded play by play voices that were added.

I’ve looked at the PC games from Inside Sports and Replay, but I figure I have plenty of their table top products to keep me busy for a long while.

Bottom line is that I get the most satisfaction from rolling dice and flipping cards when replaying games.
