Hi Paul,
Always happy to see another StratoManiac that enjoys “little nothings” like a peek at an original 1965 PETE ROSE! Take a look back at Pete and a few others that have appeared from ’62!
ENJOY , RICH D : )
Could you post a picture of the APBA soccer game components? I am going to order the game, thanks to your blog, and would like to see what I’m getting.
Thank you for this blog. I look forward to following along!!
Hi Paul,
Really enjoy the blog and the reviews. I have APBA Soccer and was wondering if you were going to upload the Soccer sheets you created. Thanks again for some great reading.
The designer of Mea Copa is Anthony Apostolico, he can usually be found on the “Soccer Simulation” forum over at the delphi forums. I have his email address, too, and I’ll send it to you in an email. Anthony is also the designer of “Classic Soccer.”
Take care and I hope you like the game as much as I did! – Paul
Hey Paul. Just got the APBA Soccer game. I’ve been playing Football Manager for the last 6 years (managing Wrexham and then, when they were relegated out of the bottom division, Huddersfield). Well, I finally hit the wall. I just completely lost interest in contract signings, transfers, grounds improvement, training schedules, etc. But also I found that I’m tired of computer sims as well. Having played APBA baseball in the late fifties, early sixties I thought I’d go back to rolling dice and hand-keeping stats. And I’m really enjoying it.
My question re: the soccer game is this. Are the leagues/teams/players rated for international play or only in relation to their own league? That is, if I put Man U. into MLS will they completely dominate or are they only rated in comparison to the other teams in the EPL? Or if I put the LA Galaxy in the EPL will they end up at the bottom of the table as they should or will they compete for the championship? I’m looking to acquire multiple card sets and eventually play a realistic, world-wide, club championship.
Hey Roy…thought I would pop in here. As far as I can tell the cards are rated based on league there are in and not relative to other leagues. You can not play LA in the EPL as issued. You could adjust team ratings, defensive ratings and clutch points to make things work.

Hi,
I was hoping you would stop by my new company http://www.sports.ptgamesinc.com we have 3 new sports titles being released in the coming months and let me know what you think and give us a mention here on your blog. thanks.
Hockey Bones – A modernizing of FaceOff Hockey. Same great game engine to deliver the speed and feeling of being on the ice. New graphics to update the look. Solo and league rules included.
Basketball Bones – Due for release in November 2012. Brought to us by Greg Eno noted Detroit sports blogger. A simple approach with stunningly accurate results.
Football Bones – Due for release in January 2013. A remake of Statis Pro Football. New graphics, plays, weather, solo, league or replay available.
Hey Tim – Thank you for stopping by the site. I absolutely will take a look at your site and your games. They all look interesting, but I think I’m most intrigued by Basketball Bones. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them all, however. If you’ll send me an email at paul@pauldylan.com we can talk more. I’m looking forward to it.
Thought I would check in on you. Hope all is well. Always disappointed to go to you site and not see a post (see what you started). Post when you can……

Hi Teddy, I don’t know any off the top of my head, but I would try StratFanForum.com if I were you. There are a lot of guys on there who love the college football C&D game and can probably point you in the right direction. Good luck and let us know if you find them!
Paul
Paul,do you have a link for Len Durrant and Bruce Bundy’s sites?thank you.
I do! Check out this article: http://www.oneforfive.com/?p=229
There are links in that article to both sites. If you still have trouble, send me an email at paul@pauldylan.com and I’ll try to help you out further.
All the best,
Paul

I’ve been meaning to do that for awhile, Pete. I will post them soon. Thanks for reading and for the comment!
Hi there, I wonder if you can point me to where I can get hold of Mea Copa? Much appreciated.
