I determined the pre-made wrestlers' rating distributions and then made a simple roll chart for CR -1 through +2, Cut ranges, and Tag ranges, all based on the rating percentages of wrestlers included in the game. It was very easy. I named the wrestlers, described them based on their ratings, and assigned them a territory/pool based on their CR rating. So, I have a +2, +1, +0, and -1 wrestler in every Pool. I had two extra +0 CR wrestlers that I changed to -1 to balance the Pools.

Hah! Thanks. A man has to take a minute for refreshments.

Nice! I'd probably play more Statis Pro if I had more than one FAC deck that was 40 years old! Lol.

I 100% agree. Downey is a one-stop shop. Plus, I can get printed Fast Action Football and 10 complete printed seasons for the same price as one complete APBA football season. I'm really interested in Downey's GOAL! Football. Have you had the opportunity to try that football title? I'm intrigued by its options to use new FACs or old dice/charts from the original version. Thanks for watching and sharing.

@ I think I have Goal! somewhere in my basement. I’ll have to look for it. If I do have it, I haven’t played it in years.

Hah! Yeah, this version is available in the free PDF book with baseball, basketball, hockey, racing, and rally. So, go get it! It is free! Hahah. Hopefully, football is still going well too.

The TSL? Wasn't that a real league at one point? Or is it still? I seem to remember there was a pro TSL at one point. Very cool. Thanks for watching and sharing. Cheers!

Thank you! Have you had a chance to enjoy this game?

@@JasonFlashFootball Have not played it recently, but it is recommended and very enjoyable. As with most Downey Games, economic and wonderful value and reasonable play simulation.

Haha! It is nice to know I have company in both "shuffling skills" and "a like for this game". Awesome.

@@JasonFlashFootball I did some looking around on-line for card sleeves for the FAC Deck. I think the cards are 3 inches by 5 inches (normal 3x5 index card size). I found what is called "Recipe Card Protectors" that are listed 3.15 inches by 5.12 inches in size. These are listed on a few major on-line retailer sites! Going to order two sets when I have my next "major on-line retailer" ready to go. Just counted the cards and the FAC Deck for this game is 140 cards.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and support. I hope you can enjoy it and my other offerings. Cheers!

I usually have a project. I might do a one-off for tutorial videos but I have projects for career play, season play, or tournaments.

Outstanding and thank you. I do hope you enjoy and get many hours of solo fun from the games. I appreciate your support and interest in my sports games. Cheers!

Wow. If they manage one TD instead of a FG, they win.

Hah. Of course, it will be one of these two owners who will win the league championship.

The "F" owner is assumed to have at least paid enough to start but they have nothing left. So, Ft Jefferson is good to go for the first season.

Ok

All other owners must pay the 1 in the first season.

Just fixed that

@@CH109-r2k Of course, you can change any rules that you want. It's your league, your rules.

Yowser! It will be interesting to see if that team folds, re-locates or is sold in the off-season. Very cool.

David Reynolds for the fort Jefferson Guardians

I might have them relocate

@@CH109-r2k Interesting...Will he become a legend becoming successful and rich or will he be a footnote in the history of your league as the guy who started Ft Jeff but went bankrupt.

@@CH109-r2k Exaclty or if they are successful enough, maybe sell a grade on offense to try one more season.

Wow. What a kind thing to say. Thank you.

I became a fan of Roddy first for his roles in two of my favorite John Carpenter films then I looked back at his wrestling career. Just great.

The team starts the year with 2 credits, but 1 must be paid to play, and 1 will be carried over to the season's end. However, your owner earns 1.5 credits every season plus his win-loss record based on stadium size. If we assume you finish the season with a .500 record, then you will have 2.5 credits for any off-season moves or to carry into the new season, and you must pay 1 to start the next season. If you save the 2.5, you'll have 1.5 after you pay to play and again your owner will earn 1.5 at season's end plus your win/loss earnings and so on. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks

We are living in the Golden Age of tabletop sports games. It is wonderful.

Thank you. It will be much easier to narrate matches after a few more sessions. This was my first game ever.

I own the PC version of 4th Street Pro Football. It is a great game. The tabletop version looks pretty detailed.

I really enjoy the Ultra Quick games. Downey Games is also a wonderful value, with affordable print and PDF options. I enjoy TV Wrestling, so I'll give it a few sessions soon.

@JasonFlashFootball looking forward to it! I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch your stuff while I work and your channel gets me through the day!

@@novembersun2988 That's great to hear. I guess I better up the quality, brother. Lol.

Thank you. This is it, "what are we 'playing' for" the game details or the season details? Also, I think hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer sports are genuinely better sports for the quick play full replay because they have such long seasons, big samples, and much can happen over a three/four month season. Football is a tiny sample size and can feel a bit "so what" in fast play full seasons. Quick play football games are perfect for tournament style "what ifs" though or long-term career projects.

Interesting. This project is a full NFL tourney. I match up all 14 NFC and AFC teams in a single elimination tourney to get to a Super Bowl final bracket.

@JasonFlashFootball oh, nice!

Well said.

So much alike. Wake up at 4 AM Used to own about 35 tabletop sports games not counting the games I made. Lost 32 in a flood. I get more work done between 4 and 8 AM than between 8 AM and 4PM.

Certainly. The game comes with many pre-made fictional golfers and course, and you can create golfers and courses very quickly. I think it plays quickly enough, with little record keeping, to allow full 4 round tournaments with lots of golfers; however, I've yet to undertake such and epic weekend of golf.

At my age, I prefer quick games, tourneys, and games with career options; however, I also love a brilliant long-form game and replay experience. Unfortunately, I've not found a game that deserves 90 to 120 minutes of my time for the actual game experience or the results. If I could find a long-form game that engages me, is not tedious work, provides depth/detail, and quality results then I would play more long-form games.

Regarding: SSX. I love SSX as an abstraction of SS Football. SSX, FDF, DTF, and GWDFB are all fantastic quick-playing games. SSX is a nice mix between long-form and quick-play. One still calls plays and defenses; every roll involves team and player ratings; it uses actual minutes per roll; it features every facet of real football games: Kick offs, Onside Kicks, FGA, PAT, Punts, PR, INTs and Fumbles, and Sacks. It is an abstraction of the series of downs but does not exclude or hand-wave away any moment of the sport. SSX is a masterwork.

It depends on how much time I have, and my mood but mostly it depends on what years or eras of the game I'd like to play. Strat-O-Matic, for instance, I own only two seasons. My games, BCF and FT, feature fictional leagues from different eras and they play very quickly. I'm still looking for the "perfect" football game. There are full football sims that have every season in history available and are reasonably priced. I'd like one of those to be my daily go-to game. I'm looking to start full-season replays in NFL history but I cannot find the best game for those projects yet. Of course, full football sims generally take 90 minutes on average and I don't always have time to play those games.

This full football game took me just 21 minutes and it is hard to say no to complete games in 20 minutes.

Oh! That is awesome! I wish I could have seen this one.

Not better but different. I played APBA exclusively for about two years, '22 to '24. Multiple replays, 1957, 1958, and 1959. If I had to choose which I like best, it would be SoM for actual game play BUT I love that APBA offers complete team sets of older seasons. Neither of these games are my top choice now though. I have other favorites.

Nice! I have seen the film and didn't think about it until I was halfway through my first game then I thought, "Oh, Burns is like the character in Baggar!" Great observation.

Thanks for creating another brilliant game!

@JasonFlashFootball love the community here. Everyone supporting each other to share and grow options within the table top sports arena of play.

Thank you.

Not purposefully? Let me check the dashboard videos...

Play Action Football is perfectly designed and very much gets out of the way. I appreciate PAFb's ease of solo play.

Thanks for the great games, brother!

Can't wait to see your abstract Hockey game. It will be interesting to see how this great abstract concept works in a 'free flowing' sport like Hockey compared to 'stop-start' sports like Football and Golf.

@ronniehansen8027 appreciate your interest! We've got the teams created. Still need to add some details. Possibly logo's and certainly lingo lol.

Thanks for watching and sharing.

Hah! This is true.

Thanks for listening and sharing.

Nice! APBA is the best way to get the replay games done.

Oh! That's crazy. What could have been if Unitas had been healthy. Matte was a QB at OSU?

I do talk about Matte playing QB in this game in real life and thank you for the pronunciation of Matte.

I'm going to devise something for wrestling and golf as well.

@JasonFlashFootball awesome. Hockey would be a natural fit as well I think due to reading the dice. It's a needed addition in general for sports to keep a structured running tally. Glad you're doing those!
