In Progress, Revised
I’ve cut back on projects by picking the full season replays that I plan to actually play in the next 3 months or so. This eliminated a few long dormant items on my list, allowing me to focus on what I’m already playing, and also allows me to narrow the choices on what else to play.
I’ve also separated the ‘short’ projects (less than a season, individual pitcher seasons, playoff runs) into their own list.
And of course there’s stuff like the heavyweight boxing tournament in Title Bout II and the Facebook Friends Wrestling Federation in Face to the Mat which are more like casual pick-up games that don’t require a schedule.
I hope to finally tally a game in both hockey and basketball fairly soon.
Stay tuned!
Another Side Project?
But aren’t they all?
Inspired by Mike Yastrzemski’s visit to Fenway Park, and his reunion with this grandpa, Carl, I think I may do a 1967 Red Sox replay.
I have so many 1967 sets to choose from, after all. But it’ll probably be Ball Park Baseball. On second thought, I think I’ll use one of the other game systems, but I’m not sure which one yet.
I wanna see if I can get Yaz to win the Triple Crown.
Stay tuned!
Gooden ’85 – Update
I spent way too much time Monday night trying to get the damn BallScore/BallStat programs to get this replay back together, but it simply wouldn’t do it.
The last issue that I had after figuring out how to force the played games scoresheets to export was that it kept showing the Phillies with 2 wins even though they had only played and won 1 game against the Mets.
I tried removing just that game via BallStat, and when it was reimported, it gave the Mets a 2-3 record even though this was game 3 of the replay.
Arrrgh.
So I went and reset the league and then completely deleting it and the auto backup from my PC. A new 1985 Dwight Gooden replay has been created, rosters have been imported and adjusted with starting lineups, and tonight I will once again attempt to play 1-2 games from this replay.
Stay tuned!
1978?
Error
1988
Slow
Muddling my way through a game using Inside Pitch.
I’ve been playing so much Ball Park Baseball that it’s hard to adjust to another game, but it’s slowly coming back to me.
I actually did a ‘save game’ with the BallScore app because it was taking me so long to play. I may stop again tonight.
Arrgh. These games are supposed to be for me to relax, not feel like work.
Stay tuned.
In Progress
1967
I have not touched any of my other 1967 replays since October 2016, about 4 months before I turned 50.
I think it’s time I changed that, so this week I’ll either continue my 1967 Broncos season replay, or attempt to start either a 1967-68 basketball or 1966-67/1967-68 hockey season replay.
Stay tuned!
