“Captain’s log, Star date 1312.4. The impossible has happened.”<\/p>\n
I’ve found a game that, to me, replicates what I see on TV in a soccer match as much as most tabletop baseball games do for me.<\/p>\n
I do still like playing Dice United and Soccer Blast, it’s just that to me APBA Soccer simulates the build up that usually results in a goal more accurately than the other two do.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
The other games do one thing better, and that’s give you the amount of stoppage time to add at the end of a half.<\/p>\n
With APBA, they have maybe a couple of instances listed on the ‘special play’ chart for injury, but that may not even come into play.<\/p>\n
Checking the APBA Delphi Forums, there’s no definite answer either, though there are some suggestions that I may consider adapting.<\/p>\n

The fact that I can play a game of this level in a little under 2 hours, even with distractions, is surprising to me.<\/p>\n
It takes almost twice as long with or without distractions to play a non-quick play game of American football or basketball or hockey, though like most PLAAY games I can get a game of Hockey Blast finished in maybe an hour.<\/p>\n
Golf is it’s own thing and can take as long as it needs to on any given course.<\/p>\n
Same with racing, depending on the type of track I’m running on.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I should revisit some of the APBA and Strat-O-Matic football and hockey games to see if the time to play has changed for me.<\/p>\n
1-2 hours for a sports game seems to be the sweet spot for me nowadays.\u00a0 It allows me to set up in the morning or when I get home from work, and play before I go to bed, with time to compile a post game report that I can post here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
