Major Baseball Replay Change

Posted on by

Since I’ve switched over to  Digital Diamond Baseball as my score card, and it’s now possible to simulate (computer plays both sides) any given game, I’ve decided to change the format of how I run my replays as follows.

I will now play the opening game of any given series and simulate the rest of the games in the series.  This equates to me playing roughly 1/3rd of a season’s worth of games for a single team, or about 56 games.

For example, in a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds from July 21-July 23, I will play out the July 21st game and the computer will simulate the remaining 3 games, including the Sunday doubleheader.

This may give me time to actually finish some of these replays that I’ve started years ago, and start/finish ones that I had planned.

For now I’ll try this schedule with:

  • 1969 Seattle Pilots season replay
  • 1971 San Francisco Giants season replay
  • 1977 San Francisco Giants season replay

If they work out I’ll add other baseball replays as well.

I’m not sure how I’m going to move forward with the 1921 NY Giants and the 1917 MLB replays, neither are available in Digital Diamond Baseball.

Stay tuned!

PLAAY Holiday Sale 2020

No sign of the two missing MLB NL card sets.

But did pick up a few PDFs from PLAAY.com‘s 2020 Holiday sale, including:

  • a new jai-alai game
  • the NFL/AFL 1969 season for Second Season football
  • the MLB 1975 season for History Maker Baseball, which comes full circle since the sample teams in my original boxed game were the 2 World Series teams from 1975
  • the 1960 SCRAM (fictional) season for Red White & Blue Racing

Of the 4 I’ve already printed out the racing set, and am currently making the schedule for the Replay To Be Started Soon™.

The funny thing is that just last week I was wondering if PLAAY was ever going to come out with a 1960s season set for the game.  Hopefully a NASCAR set will be produced from that era.

I’m still hoping that those two season sets show up.

Stay tuned!

Grid Iron Wars

Posted on by

I ordered the Fast Action System and Advanced Game for Grid Iron Wars, along with the other two AAFC seasons available (1948, 1949), and Downey Games threw in the 1969 AFL season as an extra.  Cool!

I wonder if it’s because this year is the first time the Kansas City Chiefs have been in the Super Bowl since then, 50 years ago?

Of course now I should get the 1969 NFL season so I can replay Super Bowl IV.  Then again, I didn’t get the 1967 NFL season when I got the 1967 AFL season.

Stay tuned!
