My original attempt was to demonstrate a “Long Pass” play, however, a “Pass Interference” penalty occurred on the play. This video now provides an alternative for identifying which team was penalized and how to execute a “Pass Interference” penalty.
At the end of the video, I talk about declining the penalty and accepting the TD…this is for when the board result is a “TDTH”.
Lem Barney intercepted 4 passes for 142 return yards and 1 touchdown.
Joe Namath was 23 of 30 for 321 yards with 6 touchdowns to earn a quarterback rating of 150.1.
Besides the realism, my favorite part of APBA Football is calling the plays and making key in-game decisions.
Sometimes I believe it’s best just to provide a person’s quote to sum up a situation. In the words of my good friend, Mark DerGarabedian. “Simple goal of this sheet – help a new person adjust the line changes correctly. I don’t think the game should be enjoyed by only those who have played a long time and know this stuff as second nature. Need to have some helpful aids for new players too, in my view”
I wanted to share how I play the game and demonstrate a few of the innovations that I employ to make the game even more enjoyable. I would like to apologize because I forgot to identify who sacked Jack Kemp during the video clip (i.e., Willie Jones and Pat Holmes shared the sack).
Ben Hawkins had 12 receptions for 239 yards and 2 touchdowns resulting in 19.9 yards per catch.
Steve Tensi was 24 of 30 for 513 yards with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception to earn a quarterback rating of 130.1.
Being a student of the game, I’m always trying to fine-tune my playing method to increase speed of play and obtain realistic statistics. I’ve revised my “Method of Play” to reflect my latest playing techniques. The primary changes are to limit rusher’s to their actual long for specific situations, revised quota for “Rare Plays”, simple solo method for determining “Trick Play” defense, and modified goal line techniques.
The update presentation can be found under “Method of Play” in upper ribbon.
