Future Plans

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!

2015-16: Come On You Spurs! Game 1

 

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!

AHA! Moment

A couple of days of surfing the web in search of APBA Soccer aids and I stumble upon the APBA Soccer Facebook group.

They, along with a few YouTube videos and posts in the Delphi APBA forums, have helped me understand where I made mistakes during play over the weekend.

I may or may not replay that first game, if I don’t simply abandon that replay altogether in favor of the 2015-16 EPL cards that should be arriving later this week.

But for now, I think I may be playing as much APBA Soccer than any other sports game/replay that I currently play.

Stay tuned!

2009-10: Spurs Replay, Game 1

12 August 2009: Tottenham Hotspur v. Liverpool FC

Final from White Hart Lane:

I didn’t track stats too well in this one, I’ll try better next time, maybe even include the starting 11 for each side. 

Two Spurs players (Huddlestone, Suazo) received 2 yellow cards a piece, resulting them both to be sent off.

4 Liverpool players received yellow cards (Gerrard, Kuyt, Leiva, Skrtel).

Mascherano suffered an injury late in the match, replaced by Spearing.

I do feel the flow better in this game than I did 9-10 years ago, even though it took me most of the day to finish this one match.

Hopefully I’ll be able to play a match in much less time in the future.

Next: Spurs pay a visit to Hull City.

Stay tuned!
