New Project: 1941 Replay Baseball Full Season Replay

-
 Yes, I keep starting projects then jumping ships to new ones - what can I say, I have ADD in staying focused on one project.  At the moment, I've been lured back to PC Replay Baseball, which to me is a near perfect implementation of the fantastic cards & dice game Replay Baseball.  My initial plan was to use a thread on the Delphi Forums that I created to post daily and weekly (in replay terms) updates, as I thought that might be quicker and easier than maintaining the blog.  The Delphi Forums, however, are not the most user friendly, so I am going to continue posting their while also linking to the full posts on this blog, which will allow followers to more easily read the screenshots and updates.  So, with that, please follow along as we relive perhaps the most iconic of baseball seasons!

New Project: 1930 NPIII/Skeetersoft Full Season Replay

  Yes, I've started a few replays in the short time I've been into baseball sims, only to get sidetracked by a different season/game and hope to something else.  I've loved Skeetersoft since I started playing the 1929 season last year, but then hopped around to try a few other games and had been playing a lot of PC Replay Baseball, which I also think is fantastic.  But...something recently gave me the itch to try another season of NPIII and after starting an interesting book called "Breaking the Slump" by Charles Alexander about baseball during the Depression, I figured why not start right at the beginning of the 1930s.  I purchased the 1930 season and have been off and running.  As I said, there are other sims I really like - particularly Replay PC - but, I've yet to play anything that feels as smooth, and is this simple with still feeling like baseball like NPIII/Skeetersoft.  So, I'm going to barrel forward with this replay. With past projects, I got bo...
