Changes
I simply have no time to play complete seasons of teams/seasons that I’ve purchased over the years, and it’s about time I admit that to myself.
Except for racing, since those are relatively short seasons.
But as far as baseball, I will play out the 1921 and 1971 Giants season replays over time.
As for everything else, I’ll be playing shorter seasons/projects going forward.
I’m looking at doing no more than 40 games per any given team/season, which should give me plenty of play between a team and the rest of the league.
Football will be ‘as the spirit moves me’, as in I’ll play when time allows and with whatever team/season I feel like playing at the moment. Though I’ll probably still try to play out Elway’s rookie season.
Hockey, soccer and basketball: same, when I feel like it.
Golf, tennis, wrestling, boxing: also the same.
So many games (sport and non-sport), so little time.
Stay tuned!

APBA Hockey
I rarely, if ever, dabble in college sports replays or sets. I think I have a fictional college set for Second Season football from PLAAY.
Today I ordered the 2023-24 college hockey set for APBA Hockey, because of two players:
Will Smith – Boston College
Macklin Celebrini – Boston University
Like I said elsewhere, I’m all in on the Sharks this season.
Stay tuned!
