Same to you Jeremy and the MG release was the best Xmas present

I just wanted to add that the updates that have been done have made fantastic progress in getting this right… it was pretty off at first, but its getting very close. Thanks to everyone who has joined me in reporting the errors so that the programmers can fix it!

@Gus When I search for Chase DeLauter in custom teams, there is no card. When I find him in My Addons, he is listed on the 2025 Cleveland Roster, there is a line for Chase DeLauter with no stats. When I try to set up a game, Chase DeLauter has a card and may be used in a game.

yea your probably right with OBA

I’ve done it before and I’m always open to doing it again.

In our sharing of roles, John speaks for the future of the company and GO, so usually he’s the better choice to have on.

Most of the questions that people who are actively interested in GO ask are answered through this forum and the Support team.

Yes you must have the season on go in order to use your cards. Go would be the stat compiler etc.

Boston hangs onto 1st place after a gutty performance by ace Smoky Joe Wood. Wood did not have his best stuff, but managed to strand 10 Cubs on base to lead the Red Sox to the 3-1 won to salvage the 3rd game of the series. Frank Chance continued his herculean start, with his 3rd home run (matching his 1906 total in 9 games). The Peerless Leader has 7 extra base hits total in 9 games and has score 11 runs and knocked in 6.

Hi,

Once you’ve purchased the 2025 season, there are a couple of ways to view the rosters and player cards.

Option 1: Using Custom Teams which is the easiest method. If you have the Custom Teams unlock, click Custom Teams on the main menu. Then Create a new team and select Manage.From there, you’ll be able to search for players, view their cards, and customize your team as you like.

Option 2: Viewing Cards In-Game. You can also view player cards while setting up a game creating a new game and select the desired 2025 team. On the lineup selection screen, you’ll be able to view player cards and stats directly.

Hope this helps,

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Thanks. Sounds as if this is an easy call. Am really looking forward to this project.

And that’s a wrap! The 1985 Blue Jays are my tournament champs, featuring great teams from the 1970’s and '80s!
The Jays swept the 1983 White Sox in two straight games in the best-of-three championship final.

Here’s the playoff recap…

QUARTER-FINAL:
'83 ORIOLES 4
'71 A’s 5
Oakland rallied with three runs in the bottom of the 8th to eliminate Baltimore. Sal Bando’s two-run HR with two out was the difference.

SEMI-FINAL #1:
'85 BLUE JAYS 6
'83 WHITE SOX 3
After Chicago had tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the eighth, Toronto responded with three runs in the top of the ninth. With two out, Tony Fernandez tripled home two runs, then scored on Lou Thornton’s RBI single.

SEMI-FINAL #2:
'71 A’s 2
'83 WHITE SOX 6
Rudy Law and Carlton Fisk each had three hits to pace Chicago. Fisk drove in five runs with a homer, double and single. Rich Dotson (A-Y) went eight strong innings to become the tournament’s only three-game winner.

CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL #1:
'83 WHITE SOX 2
'85 BLUE JAYS 4 (13 innings)
For the third time in four tournament meetings, the Sox and Jays went extra innings. This one was a classic. It featured the tournament’s only triple play, on a Willie Upshaw line drive out with runners on first and second. Up 1-0, Dave Stieb (A-Y) took a perfect game into the ninth, but it was broken up by Jerry Hairston’s pinch-hit single to lead off the top of the inning. Hairston then scored the tying run on Rudy Law’s two-out double.
The two teams then exchanged runs in the 12th inning, before Ernie Whitt smacked a two-out, two-run HR off Jerry Koosman (C-Z) in the bottom of the 13th. Both bullpens were taxed in the opening game of this best-of-three series.

CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL #2:
'85 BLUE JAYS 7
‘83 WHITE SOX 4
The Blue Jays claimed the title with a convincing win over White Sox ace LaMarr Hoyt (A-YZ). George Bell, Jesse Barfield and Rance Mulliniks all took Hoyt deep in his 6+ innings. Doyle Alexander (B-YZ) and Bill Caudill (B-Y) held the Sox to five hits, while walking none. Toronto’s win overshadowed a two-HR performance by Chicago’s Carlton Fisk.
Blue Jays’ Shortstop Tony Fernandez went 2-for-3 to claim a share of the tournament batting title, at .358. In fact, Fernandez was the only Toronto regular to finish with a tournament batting average over .250. The Jays were led by a solid pitching staff (overall ERA of 2.94) and outstanding team defense (only three errors over 14 games).

I agree with Dev, participants in league play would welcome the ability to view games being played by others

It is working!

They should contact GO support as normally, corporate store GCs don’t work here (only GO GCs purchased from the GO store do, in a very easy and automated fashion).

EDIT:

So if someone has a GC from the old (not Squarespace) APBA corporate store, and they want to use it on GO, they can contact GO support and we’ll make it happen if there is a record of the GC with APBA.

If someone buys a GC from the new (Squarespace) APBA corporate store, they cannot use it on GO.

If someone buys a GC from the APBA GO store, it can be used on GO, but they’d have to contact GO support to use it on the APBA corporate (Squarespace) store.

Complicated but that’s the way it is.

Thanks,
Jeremy

pre-game options selection lock working again thanks for the fix !

@APBA-GO-Jeremy awesome!
