EVERYDAY PLAYER BASEBALL

Staying true to the original Gil Hodges Pennant Fever, we've                                           added elements that will make the game more realistic while maintaining               the high fun factor. The game is also designed with the solitaire player                          in mind.

The game provides a sense of "drama" as players roll to see if that                    "Towering Fly" along the left field line will stay fair or hook foul, whether                      that "Grasscutter" up the middle sneaks through the infield, or what                     happens when the hitter "Connects!" with the fastball.

All hitters are rated for average and power, as well as their tendencies                            to strike out, draw walks, and make contact. Players are also rated for                             their base running ability, stolen base, fielding, and bunting skills.                                   Pitchers are rated for their effectiveness and stamina, whether they                               are strike out or pitch-to-contact hurlers, as well as their frequency                              of issuing free passes.

The game now comes with 14 seasons: 1957, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1967,           191969,    1969 , 1970, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1986, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

NEW STADIUM CHARTS:

The 1970 season comes with the new Stadium Charts which can
replace the Long Fly charts. Each stadium reflects the ballpark's
tendencies to yield home runs, doubles, and triples.

EVERYDAY PLAYER FOOTBALL

NEW RELEASES: 1966 AFL

Based on the old Vince Lombardi Football game, many new facets have                       been added to more accurately represent  each player's skills. Everyday                         Player Football is also perfect for the solitaire gamer.

One major flaw with the original game was that a quarterback's                           completion percentage never came into play. A QB who completed 60%                        of his passes was no different from a QB who connected just 40% of the                      time. We've changed that as each QB is now rated not only for their                                ability to complete passes, but also their tendencies to throw                                       interceptions and their abilities to scramble and run.

Running backs now have separate ratings for their ball carrying and                                receiving abilities, and "Key" players will have more of an impact in all                            aspects of the game. Every player at every position has been rated.                                  These ratings will have an impact on not only a team's overall offensive                         and defensive abilities, but will also come into play in many individual                   situations.

The game comes with the 1958, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969,                     1970 and 1971 NFL seasons; four AFL seasons - 1966, 1967, 1968 and              1969;     1969, and 1974 for the WFL.

EVERYDAY PLAYER HOCKEY

A rethinking of the old Rod Gilbert hockey game, Everyday Player-Hockey                      is now ready for purchase. The game comes with 6 NHL seasons:                                      1964-65, 1967-68, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1973-74, and 1982-83, and the                             1972-73 WHA season. Each of these seasons is a snapshot of the growth of the NHL, from its original 6 franchises in ’64-’65, to 21 teams in ’82-’83. 

The game can be played using a combination of Fast Action Cards and                            dice, or you may play a version that is exclusively dice-driven.  All players                      are rated for their offensive and defensive abilities, as well as their                           tendency to draw penalties, and each team has specific Power Play                               and Penalty Killing units. Home ice advantage is built into the game,                                and each team’s overall strengths and weaknesses in multiple facets                              are also built into the action.

What this hockey game is: a fast-paced, fun to play game that captures                          many aspects of hockey and is realistic in portraying teams and players                           while staying true to the original.

What it is not: the most detailed hockey game available that literally                                takes into account every characteristic of the game and has ratings                                for each and all of those elements.

NEW RELEASES: 1967-68 AND 1968-69 NBA seasons!

EVERYDAY PLAYER BASKETBALL

Everyday Player Basketball, a rethinking of the old Oscar Robertson                     Basketball Strategy game, is now ready for purchase. The game comes                           with 11 seasons: the 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1971-72, 1972-73,                  1974-75, and 1984-85 NBA seasons; ABA seasons 1969-70,1970-71,1972-73.

These seasons feature an era of stability in the NBA with those great                         Lakers, Bucks, Knicks and Celtic teams of the early ‘70s led by Wilt                   Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier,                       and John Havlicek. The ABA featured stars such as Rick Barry, Julius                           Erving, Dan Issel, Artis Gilmore, and George McGinnis leading some of the                         best teams in ABA history.

The game can be played using a combination of Fast Action Cards and                         dice, or you may play a version that is exclusively dice-driven.  All players                         are rated for their offensive, defensive, rebounding, and playmaking                         abilities, and each team’s overall offensive and defensive strengths and               weaknesses are also built into the game.
