Bank Shot Basketball

Final score:

Chicago Packers 111
Syracuse Nationals 85

It took me a couple of days to finish a game, only because of finding the free time to do so, all told, I can probably finish off a game in 90 minutes to 2 hours.

I do need to pay attention to what stats I want to track, and I need to remember to actually sub out starters with bench players.

The game comes with 2 boards, one for 5 players per team, one for 10 players for team, the latter is supposed to allow for those to players to generated stats, the former requires you to keep track of minutes played and manually swap out players.  The 10 per team board is what I used , and maybe 2 ‘bench’ players had generated any shots or fouls.

I do like how this game plays more than any other basketball game that I’ve tried, though it’s a small sample, and only a couple of games played in any other system.

I’ll probably even replay this match up just to get the stats/players right.

Stay tuned!

Lofty goals to be sure, but I’ve been putting shit off long enough.
