In Progress, Revised Revision

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Chris S.

I’m having so much fun playing Net Results Soccer that I’ve decided to make it my primary soccer sim, and Soccer Blast my secondary. The top three soccer replays listed are played with Net Results, the last one played with Soccer Blast. Final Score and The Beautiful Game are being semi-permanently shelved.

The tables now reflect the priority that I place in playing these replays. Baseball, soccer, and auto racing are my top played games. I haven’t touched football in almost 3 years, and have yet to start basketball or hockey.

Baseball season sims (1917, 1921, 1971) are all Ball Park Baseball, short projects are played with History Maker Baseball (D’Acquisto ’74) and Inside Pitch (Gooden ’85).

Racing sims are all Red White & Blue Racing.

Football (Broncos ’67) is split between Inside Blitz and Second Season. The Harbaugh ’90 project is played with Second Season.

Basketball (Warriors ’67) will be played with Inside the Paint.

Hockey will be played with Inside the Crease (Leafs ’67) and Hockey Blast (2014 quarter finals).

Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revised

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Chris S.

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!

I have decided that these will be the projects that I will focus on for the time being.

Stay tuned!

1967

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Chris S.

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!

Past vs. Present

Posted on August 15, 2018 by Chris S.

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.

Finish What You Started

That’s a goal of mine right now. Enough sitting on my hands about what I should be playing. I simply need to get these done before starting something new.

Which is why I’m focusing on the various racing series that I started a couple of years ago. They have the shortest schedules and an average play time of about 30-45 minutes, so I should be able to finish these fairly quickly.

The Pepsi Cup truck series is the shortest, with 18 races and 5 of them already run.

SCRAM 2016 and Winston Cup 1979 are 30+ races each.

Then I can move on to the various baseball replays, starting with the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay. And I really want to play and finish the 1967 San Francisco Giants season replay.

There will be pauses for football (NFL/AFL/CFL), boxing, and non-sports games as well.

Stay tuned!
