The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I finally got around to trying out the soccer game from Inside Sports Games, Inside the Net.
Of course I played a North London Derby.
I didn’t track stats as I was just learning the game, so all I have is:
TOT 1-0 ARS
Kulusevski (PK) 80′
Yellow cards:
Zinchenko 73′
Hojbjerg 87′
This one flows and feels like watching a soccer game, more like APBA Soccer than Soccer Blast.
I have EPL 2023-24 and Bundesliga 2023-24 to play with, and I hope to get more plays in of this game.
Stay tuned!
I simply have no time to play complete seasons of teams/seasons that I’ve purchased over the years, and it’s about time I admit that to myself.
Except for racing, since those are relatively short seasons.
But as far as baseball, I will play out the 1921 and 1971 Giants season replays over time.
As for everything else, I’ll be playing shorter seasons/projects going forward.
I’m looking at doing no more than 40 games per any given team/season, which should give me plenty of play between a team and the rest of the league.
Football will be ‘as the spirit moves me’, as in I’ll play when time allows and with whatever team/season I feel like playing at the moment. Though I’ll probably still try to play out Elway’s rookie season.
Hockey, soccer and basketball: same, when I feel like it.
Golf, tennis, wrestling, boxing: also the same.
So many games (sport and non-sport), so little time.
Stay tuned!
I plan on continuing the following ongoing replays:
Baseball
1921 NY Giants (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
1971 SF Giants (Ball Park Baseball)
Soccer
2015-16 Tottenham Hotspur (APBA Soccer)
2020-21 AFC Richmond (Dice United)
Racing
1984 Winston Cup (Red White & Blue Racin’)
2012 SCRAM (Red White & Blue Racin’)
Football
1960 Denver Broncos (Fast Drive Football)
1967 Denver Broncos (Second Season/Second Season Express/Inside Blitz/Grid Iron Wars)
At some point I plan on adding hockey and basketball into the mix, as time permits. I just have to decide which replays to include:
Hockey
1966-67 NHL (Hockey Blast)
1969-70 Oakland Seals (Hockey Blast)
1991-92 San Jose Sharks (APBA)
2013-14 IHL (Hockey Blast, fictional)
2022-23 Central Cities League (Stone Cold Hockey, fictional)
Basketball
1960-61 Syracuse Nationals (Bank Shot Basketball)
1966-67 San Francisco Warriors (Inside the Paint)
2022-23 Basketball League of America (Highlight Maker Hoops, fictional)
And of course I’ll be tracking all the games right here.
Stay tuned!
Final from Old Trafford:
I just find it weird that I constantly move toward a more complicated and/or time consuming sports simulation after years of playing a quick play or less complicated game.
Scoreboard Baseball to Ball Park Baseball.
Final Score/The Beautiful Game to APBA Soccer.
ASG Golf is pretty much the same complexity as APBA Golf,
And in the middle are the PLAAY Games, like History Maker Baseball/Golf, which I still enjoy playing.
Anyways, I’m still learning APBA Soccer, and I need to remember to keep track of stats that have spaces for them on the scoresheet.
Next up for this replay: Tottenham v. Stoke City.
Stay tuned!
