Final from Madejski Stadium:
The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I just played a game for the first time in a while.
I made some mistakes, I think, no, I’m sure, so what was supposed to be the first game of the 2017-18 Tottenham Hotspur season replay will just be a “get reacquainted with the game” matchup.
Spurs won 1-0 over Newcastle United.
Replay of the replayed match will occur later.
Stay tuned!
I asked one of my British co-workers (Liverpool fan) which team I should replay in Dice United for the Championship/English Football League.
I told him that I was narrowing it down to Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.
He then told me the story of how he had grown up in a town called Long Eaton, which was equidistant between Nottingham and another place called Derby.
Both towns are where his parents came from, and his grandfather played goal for Derby, before World War II.
My co-worker actually rooted for Nottingham Forest, though he has friends who root for them and for Derby.
Having heard all of this, I decided that I would try to replay both Derby County and Nottingham Forest, if not the entire 2018-19 EFL.
Stay tuned!
As if I didn’t have enough to play with, this caught my eye today.
It has team cards instead of individual player cards, but appears to have more depth than the other soccer games that I’ve played with just team cards.
The game comes with the 4 top teams from English Premier League’s 2011-2012 season: Man City, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs. I ordered the supplemental set to complete that season.
They offer last season’s English Championship League season set, which I ordered along with the game.
This should be fun. I liked playing the freebie Quick Fixture game that was offered before this.
Stay tuned!
So.
I have to get off my ass and get back to what I started 4 years ago, the 1967 replays.
It’ll happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
That 49ers replay may or may not start before Super Bowl LIV.
As for the other type of football:
These replays will get as much attention as I can muster, when not busy/distracted. I’m less inclined to play the 2008-09 replay due to the fact that Spurs did so poorly that season, and the game engine for Net Results Soccer is slightly different for 2008-09 than from the 2017-18 seasons. It can get a bit confusing.
Basketball and hockey have never been started, so no need to make a post about either of those sports replays.
Stay tuned!
