New to Go version - how does this compare to 1960's APBA card game?

Hi, I just got back into Go and enjoy it
I play the BATS 2 set
BUT, looking to add 1970 soon
with Collections, stats are kept for completed games
I can also see getting back into cards and dice with APBA again, great game

I’m 76 years old and began playing the 1964 season with cards in 1965. I played 120 games by 1968, keeping every single batting, pitching and fielding stats. I kept all those stats and wanted to continue playing after I retired at age 68. In 2017 I discovered APBA GO and continued playing right where I left off in 1968. I use the actual starting lineups and pitchers for every game. Comparing the actual stats with the ABPA GO stats every couple of weeks, it’s amazing how realistic this is!!! The only complaint I have is the inability to edit collections so I can include my stats from the 120 games back in '65 thru '68 with my 796 games I’ve played on APBA GO since 2017. Oh well, love the game and the realism!!!

@apbasince64 Are you playing solitaire? Autoplay?

[apbasince64]

I STRICTLY PLAY SOLITAIRE GAMES.

[vinman]

Autoplay or you “roll”? Or both?

[ncord]

I play with manual rolls to try to capture some of the drama of dice rolling for the board game.

@vinman

I play every single game Autoplay

Is “autoplay” like an instant simulation of the game?

You can create a new collection and add all of those games to it. I keep some collections by season and others where I consolidate seasons.

@falcon4fever pretty much yes. AI managers will play the game in about 5 seconds.
