As I start to make time for playing sports games again, I feel that it’s time to go back to some games that I’ve ignored for some time, specifically APBA Golf and APBA Soccer.<\/p>\n

I remember trying APBA Soccer out something like 8 years ago, and while I was able to get through a complete game, I found that I liked the quicker play of other soccer games like Soccer Blast and later Dice United.<\/p>\n

Same thing happened with golf, to a lesser degree.\u00a0 I was a bit intimidated by APBA Golf, especially after playing a similar game, ASG golf, which led me to History Maker Golf, another quicker game than the others.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to now, with more than a few dozen soccer games and a couple of golf games rolled, and I finally feel ‘ready’ to tackle what I consider the ‘big boys’ of the respective games.<\/p>\n

That’s not to take away from anything that I’ve played, the PLAAY games are still my favorites, for example, but I just feel ‘ready’ to take on something a bit more complex.<\/p>\n

I also feel that I have a richer appreciation for soccer now than I did 8 years ago, having watched 4 more World Cup tournaments (men’s and women’s), Olympic soccer, and of course living and dying through Tottenham Hotspur in the EPL.<\/p>\n

As for golf, I’m still as interested in it as I was before, which was not total indifference, but rather an appreciation for it as one of my Dad’s favorite pastimes long before he passed on.\u00a0 I still don’t watch it on TV as much as I did when Mom and Dad were both more interested.<\/p>\n

For golf, I’ll probably still play History Maker more than APBA or ASG, simply because of the larger number of players and courses I have for HMG compared to the others.\u00a0 I don’t intend to start a full season of golf, either.<\/p>\n

Soccer, on the other hand, has me thinking that I can start Yet Another Season Replay\u2122, so with APBA Soccer I’m going to replay Tottenham’s 2015-16 campaign, a season I don’t own in any other soccer game that I play.\u00a0 This was the year Harry Kane first scored with the top team, and saw Spurs finish third behind Leicester City and Arsenal in the final standings.<\/p>\n

\"Tottenham<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

We’ll see if I can change history in my replay.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
