I actually played these two games a month ago.
Finals from Candlestick Park:
Game 1
Game 2
The Giants split the doubleheader and lose the series against the Cubs.
Next up: The Cardinals are in San Francisco for a 3-game series.
Stay tuned!

More hours in the day, or an extra day in the weekend.
I’ll get to all of them, along with the baseball and football and racing and hockey games.

1971: Giants Replay, Game 11
Whoops
Dice vs. Cards
I think I found a possible reason why I can’t seem to wrap my head around Inside the Paint and Inside the Crease basketball and hockey games. And it’s dumb.
Both of those games use a fast action card (FAC) system as opposed to dice. I like rolling dice more than flipping cards.
This may be why I’ve found Glory Days Boxing more fun to play, for me, than Title Bout II, which also uses a FAC system.
And I was able to grasp the basics of SSG basketball because of it’s dice roll mechanic similar to Payoff Pitch Baseball. I’ve tried using the FACs for Payoff Pitch, but always find myself reverting back to using dice.
I was never a big Statis Pro Baseball gamer because of the cards.
I did pull out Statis Pro Basketball this morning, and may try to play a game to see if this reasoning holds water or not.
Stay tuned!
