2018-19: EPL, Game 1

Posted on by

Despite my preference for non-quick play soccer games, I decided to give Ultra Quick Soccer a try.

I think I found my go-to system to play the season’s games for teams that I’m not playing in Net Results Soccer, at least for the 2018-19 season (i.e. everyone except Cardiff City).

It takes a few minutes to setup and play a game, with at least 2 die rolls to determine a game score, though some games may require 6 or more.

And there’s an option to determine who actually scored.

I can probably knock off a team’s season schedule in an hour or so.

11 Aug 2018:

Newcastle United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur

Goals: NEW: Perez 22′ TOT: Longstaff (OG) 9′, Eriksen 30′

Not much in the way of stats for this game, like all other quick play games.  Which is the point.

Only 341 games to go.

Stay tuned!

Around my workstation/table top play area are the following games, waiting to be played.

  • SSG Basketball
  • Net Results Soccer
  • Glory Days Boxing
  • Face to the Mat
  • B25 – Prince of the Skies

More hours in the day, or an extra day in the weekend.

I’ll get to all of them, along with the baseball and football and racing and hockey games.

Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revision to the Revised Revision of the Revision

The main change is putting the 1967 Warriors on hold, along with the 1988 Mets (revisited) replay.  I anticipate playing a soccer game with PSV soon, and hopefully starting basketball and hockey in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned!

2014 World Football Association

Posted on by

And then sometimes you come across stuff that looked like a great idea at the time, but 5 years later you still haven’t done anything with that idea.

This was something I tried to pull together using PLAAY’s 2014 World Football Association card sets.

In my Soccer Blast box, I found three used score sheets, one for an MLS match, one for an EPL match, and one using a pair of pieced together teams from this 2014 set.

One of those teams was the Azkals, the Philippine National Soccer Team.

There were a bunch of cards that came with the set with player ratings, but no names.  I asked the game designer if I could create a team with the unnamed cards, he said it was possible, but they would probably be inferior to the pre-made teams.

So I created the Azkals, with names generated from random lists of Filipino first names and last names.

I didn’t note the score of any of the games, but I recall playing the Azkals and they were defeated by whatever team I put against them.

Perhaps someday I’ll do something with these card sets.

Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revised Revision

Posted on by

I’m having so much fun playing Net Results Soccer that I’ve decided to make it my primary soccer sim, and Soccer Blast my secondary.  The top three soccer replays listed are played with Net Results, the last one played with Soccer Blast.  Final Score and The Beautiful Game are being semi-permanently shelved.

The tables now reflect the priority that I place in playing these replays.  Baseball, soccer, and auto racing are my top played games.  I haven’t touched football in almost 3 years, and have yet to start basketball or hockey.

Baseball season sims (1917, 1921, 1971) are all Ball Park Baseball, short projects are played with History Maker Baseball (D’Acquisto ’74) and Inside Pitch (Gooden ’85).

Racing sims are all Red White & Blue Racing.

Football (Broncos ’67) is split between Inside Blitz and Second Season.  The Harbaugh ’90 project is played with Second Season.

Basketball (Warriors ’67) will be played with Inside the Paint.

Hockey will be played with Inside the Crease (Leafs ’67) and Hockey Blast (2014 quarter finals).

Stay tuned!
