  1. Totally agree. Cannot fault Tudor for their creative ideas and innovations. The uni-form stickers do look great and it definitely will be a good addition to the Tudor product range for a lot of people. I had the same concern as you and Doug says they haven't decided what will happen to the pre painted figures........but I have a horrible gut feeling the decision has probably already been made. The uni-forms stickers are good and all and I am sure they will bring great joy to fans new and old, but the application of them may be a bit too difficult for people, especially for people who do not have the steady hand or patience to apply the stickers. And possibly there may be EF fans who will not be able to apply them due to health conditions possibly limiting their ability to apply the stickers. Personally I feel there will be a lot of fans who will be extremely unhappy if the only option is Uni-forms I hope Doug and the team find a solution to have both Uni-forms and pre/unpainted figures to run together side by side and keep electric football growing. Understandably the pandemic is playing a major factor in the decision and I am sure everyone appreciates the efforts Tudor are doing to try and keep everyone happy. If the decision is the figures will be discontinued then I am sure we can adapt and overcome the problem although it will be very disappointing. But I think myself and others will have to hold on to the hope that Uni-forms and the pre-painted figures can live side by side and grow the game together Just have to wait and see
  2. Seem to get interceptions in similar situations as you. Good in one way because it makes a game more exciting and unpredictable. But also annoying when you build up a nice drive to then roll a 1 ๐Ÿ˜‚ never mind it is probably more annoying when it happens to your team I'm real life!
  3. Good result for the Packers. Similar story in some of my games interceptions killing off really nice drives but that's the luck of the dice roll i guess ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm guessing Packers now play the Bills? That will be a good game! Will the snow board be making an appearance again this tournament?
  4. Thanks Doug.....I hope things will be back to normal or more stable soon. But still excited to see what new uniform designs will be coming soon anyways ๐Ÿ˜€
  5. Board looks great! And sounded like a close and interesting game ๐Ÿ˜€ the lighting in the pictures looked nice with the board and the figures I am indeed looking forward to the next game. Go Pack!
  6. Thanks Ben! Thank you for stopping by. Another big game later on. Jets Vs Panthers. Then the final of the tournament possibly on Sunday or Monday ๐Ÿ™‚ Titans Vs ravens ๐Ÿ’ฅ
  7. Baltimore Ravens 32-30 Carolina Panthers Field Goal heartbreak for the Panthers as Ravens make it to the final An amazing game unfolded especially in the last 2 quarters, Panthers fought back to within 2 points after being down 20-9 at half time Q1: BAL Kickoff. Big KO return by CAR who takes it down to around the BAL 25 yard line. CAR 4th down on BAL 4 yard line, 21 yard FG attempt is good. 3-0 to Panthers. BAL #26 bursts through gap in defensive line to finally get the ball in Carolina territory. CAR intercepts a pass on their 40, CAR #77 tackled immediately upon the interception. Later on BAL intercepts a pass with the Ravens getting the ball to the CAR 42 yard line End of 1 - CAR 3-0 BAL Q2: 1st & 10 on CAR 42, BAL in possession, BAL #26 breaks away to CAR 5 yard line. 5 yard TD Pass to BAL #26, PAT Missed. Ravens up 6-3. CAR #22 receives a pass on his own 17 yard line and races in for the TD, PAT missed. CAR 9-6 BAL. Ravens intercepts pass on CAR 20 yard line, next play BAL #93 catches pass in the end zone for a TD, PAT GOOD, BAL 13-9 CAR. Ravens intercept another pass and take it down to the CAR 10 yard line. BAL QB throws TD pass to #93, PAT GOOD. Ravens up 20-9. Poor KO return by Panthers, player gets turned around at their own 5 yard line. Quarter ends with a long pass attempt by CAR QB being incomplete HT: BAL 20-9 CAR Q3: 1st play of half, BAL QB with a 50 yard pass, ball now at CAR 30. BAL #26 with a TD, his QB finds him wide open and he slips past 2 Carolina safeties to the end zone, PAT Missed. BAL 26-9 CAR. In another big man play one of the linesmen for CAR the #72, breaks from his block and with all players being eligible receivers he catches a pass and scores a TD running from his own 35 yard line with help from his team mates blocking. Took him a while to get his breath back after his amazing run! PAT GOOD. BAL 26-16 CAR. BAL #26 makes around a 60 yard kick off return. BAL #26 fumbles the QB attempted shovel pass, he recovers and gets tackled luckily for only a loss of 1 yard. BAL #47 open in the end zone ready to receive the pass, ball clips his helmet then his glove but who is right behind him to collect the ball? Nobody but his team mate #26 who dives at the ball and catches it for a TD. PAT Missed. BAL 32-16 CAR. Panthers #22 received a 42 yard pass which gets them to BAL 28 yard line. CAR #43 wide open and catches a 28 yard TD Pass, PAT GOOD End of the 3rd. BAL 32-23 CAR Q4: CAR intercepts pass on BAL 25, #11 with help of his blockers runs in for a TD, PAT GOOD. BAL 32-30 CAR. BAL #26 tackled just shy of the CAR end zone, at around the CAR 2 yard line. BAL #26 open just outside of the end zone, QB throws but the pass is fumbled, CAR #43 recovers the fumble and gets all the way to the BAL 40. 2nd to last play of the game, CAR QB throws to #43 who gets tackled at the CAR 30 yard line which gets them into Field Goal range This is make or break for Carolina, if he gets this the Panthers are into the final. Deep breath by the kicker, here is the snap, boot connects with the ball, it has the height and the length!!! A 9 or more on the 2 dice needed.....6 is rolled..... THE BALL DRIFTS WIDE, BALTIMORE WIN Final score: BAL 32-30 CAR The Panthers players console their kicker it was so close. What an amazing fightback from the Panthers but the Ravens hold on for the victory, they meet the Titans in the Super 6 Grand final. The best game in the tournament so far. Panthers will meet the Jets in the Shield. Last time the Jets and Panthers met was the group A match where the Jets came away 34-21 winners. But I have a feeling that kind of result will not happen as this Panthers side have really gelled together in the past couple of games Congratulations to the Ravens who now face the tough task of playing the Titans in the final
  8. Balls | Tablesoccerusa Ball may be a little bigger for this Miggle game as these are for Subbuteo table soccer but I am sure they will work just as fine, unless the ball for this game is magnetic then I have no idea personally....
  9. Played on the board with the power cable plugged into the step down voltage converter. Works perfectly and motor does not run hot or even warm so I think that has done the trick. Saved a possible visit from the Fire Department! Thanks for pointing this out to me it seems you were right about the issue and the voltage just needed to be stepped down ๐Ÿ™‚ so now feel a lot more comfortable that the motor wont blow up!
  10. Looking forward to seeing the snow board
  11. Hi Wyatt Will uni-forms be the only option going forward? Or will you have some unpainted figures back in stock soon? Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
  12. Wow....very detailed rule set he has got there. That must have taken him hours upon hours to write up and test out. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing that, will definitely be worth a more in depth read ๐Ÿ™‚
  13. Also I do a fumble procedure when the ball carrier is tackled and falls over but that has only happened the once in all games I have played thus far. I weight my bases with a bit of blue tack so them falling over does not happen very often
  14. I was thinking along the exact same lines as you! I did try actually placing the ball in the figures arms but I could not seem to get it right. It was a great suggestion but not one that works for me unfortunately and thanks everyone who suggested that What I am going to try to implement in my games is to roll a dice in a tackle or for a catch and the same as you, 1 will be a fumble. Although there is a 1 in 6 chance that a fumble will happen which is great odds, obviously it will occur. I roll 2 six sided dice for longer snaps and double 1 is a fumble I get these maybe once or twice a game. So yeah all about the luck of the roll! And I'm sure it will make games that little bit more interesting in certain situations ๐Ÿ˜„
  15. Hi Zak Thank you for the info I do appreciate the time you have taken to look into this! Very interesting how that all works although I do not understand properly seems like a fairly intricate design for something so small I accidentally cranked the board up all the way and nearly deafened myself so I won't be doing that again ๐Ÿ˜‚ The board in my opinion runs great just a small dead spot around the 10 yard line on opposite end to the motor, but that is to be expected but usually my players are able to get through that spot with not much issue I have a voltage splitter arriving today, hopefully does not hamper the performance of the board and that it reduces how warm the motor runs. But I will take safety over performance! I do run a multi stop system on my game so the motor is not running at a high speed constantly, I am conscious about leaving it running for extended periods
  16. The story so far It is currently half time in the 2nd semi final game between the Ravens and the Panthers. Baltimore are currently leading 20-9 at the break in a pretty tight encounter. The Panthers although down by 11 at the break can take many positives but they need to improve on their offensive blocking, their QB has nearly been sacked a couple of times forcing him to throw under pressure which has lead to a couple of interceptions already and has costed them some valuable points. They also need to work on not making as many errors, especially deep in their own territory as the Ravens will simply pounce on this and punish Carolina. The running game is looking strong with their #22 again looking for gaps and getting up the field with tremendous pace Ravens do look comfortable in possession and obviously are not letting the big occasion get to them. They do maybe have to be a bit more careful in defense they have been caught out a couple out times not having an extra man back in coverage which has left Panthers receivers sometimes wide open, fortunately for them the Panthers QB's throwing arm is still cold it seems and passes have been incomplete but it is likely to come back with a vengeance in the 2nd half. They have to be on Carolina's #22 like a fly to horse dung otherwise he will punish the Ravens if he even gets even an inch of breathing room, as was shown in his display against the Steelers last time out and once already in this game All hope is not lost for the Panthers but they have to build up their rhythm again to try and overcome this very all round strong Ravens team who look like the favourites to be the overall champions. But either one of these teams will face the Titans who although are not high scorers and do leak points are a very tough team to beat. The loser of this game will face the Jets for the Super 6 shield and whoever will face the Jets will be in for a tough task as New York are no pushovers and have a lot of pace in their runners and receivers. They will be looking to redeem themselves and bring some silverware back home
  17. But just to be on the safe side I have now purchased an actual voltage step down converter. Thanks Zak
  18. Yes I believe UK is 50HZ and yeah I'm pretty sure that it does step down the voltage. I have been playing this board the last 2 evenings, with last evening the motor was nowhere near as warm to when I first started playing, so I think it is going to be okay. I do not leave the unit unattended when plugged in but if i start having issues I will probably have to buy an actual unit that steps the voltage down, but so far so good ๐Ÿ‘
  19. Seemed like exciting times back then for football! May have to go on YouTube and check some 70's - 80's games out!
  20. Just watched the Tom Dempsey FG never heard of him as I am only 27 and British, noticed something was rather peculiar about his kicking boot so did a google and to learn he had no toes on his foot and kicked that absolute monster field goal, seeing that has made my day! Incredible sporting moment!๐Ÿ˜„
  21. Looks great ๐Ÿ™‚ Out of interest do you play 11 V 11 in your games?
  22. Tennessee Titans 28-13 New York Jets Titans too strong for Jets who power through to the Final! This matchup was arguably the strongest team in the competition versus the quickest. The titans with more weight and power in their roster face off against the Jets whos Receivers are lighting fast and able to slip through gaps. The Titans with more success in this competition and they continued with their winning ways with another strong display but the Jets did put up a valiant effort Q1: NYJ KO. 2nd play of Quarter, TEN #39 with a superb 82 Yard Rushing TD, PAT GOOD. Titans up by 7 early on. NYJ #11 rushes from his own 50 yard line to the Titans 15, came close but ran out of bounds. NYJ take it up to the TEN 14 but instead of running the play they opt to pass and ball was intercepted by TEN who ran the ball out on their 20. End of the 1st, TEN 7-0 NYJ Q2: Opening play of the quarter, TEN QB finds his WR wide open in the end zone, poor coverage by the Jets. TD for TEN, PAT GOOD. Titans up by 14. NYJ with around a 90 yard TD pass to #11, PAT GOOD. TITANS 14 - 7 JETS. NYJ intercept a pass, Jets #40 out of bounds after making a 25 yard gain. Later on, TEN intercepts a pass on their own 40 yard line, taken to the Jets 32. Quarter ends with an incomplete pass. HT TEN 14-7 NYJ Q3: NYJ #21 runs for 45 yards. NYJ RB tackled for a loss of 10 yards on the Titans 20 yard line. NYJ QB finds a WR open near the end zone who then charges in for a TD, PAT MISSED. TEN 14-13 NYJ. TEN #39 again with an amazing rushing TD all the way from his own 20 yard line, PAT GOOD. TEN 21-13 NYJ to end the quarter Q4: NYJ lineman breaks free from the block, makes a 15 yard gain after breaking one tackle. NYJ QB fumbles a snap, recovered by the RB, tackled at the halfway line. NYJ builds pressure in TEN territory but QB misplaces a pass which is intercepted and Titans carry ball for a 12 yard gain. TEN #86 breaks away from a defender for a 20 yard gain. Lat play of the game, TEN QB throws a glorious 62 yard TD PASS, PAT GOOD FINAL SCORE TEN 28-13 NYJ The Tennessee Titans are now our first finalists in the Super 6 competition, they will be met by either the Ravens or the Panthers in the Grand Final. Jets will now play the losing side in the Baltimore/Carolina game for the Super 6 Shield The Panthers and Ravens game will be too tough to call. Ravens who won Group A look very strong and will be favourites to win this one. However since the Panthers 2 group defeats they absolutely blew away an out of sorts Steelers side and although they did lose the 2 group games they look like a very strong side. Their WR/RB #22 is one to watch he single handedly dismantled the Steelers and has been the Panthers star man throughout the competition. Some will say the reason for Pittsburgh's downfall this Super 6 was due to the poor performances of the PIT QB who has clocked up more interceptions than any other QB in the series However this is history now and there is a big game on the way to decide who joins the Titans in the final. Will joint favourites the Ravens fly away with the victory? Or will the underdogs (or undercats in this case) clip the Ravens wings and take the Super 6 crown out of Baltimore's grasp?? Stay Tuned
  23. Pittsburgh Steelers 7-28 Carolina Panthers Pittsburgh dominated and dumped out out Super 6 by a rejuvenated Panthers Q1: Hand off to CAR #22 for a rushing TD, PAT GOOD. Snap fumbled by PIT QB on their own 25 yard line recovered by PIT running back who rushes and makes it to the CAR 40. PIT RB later on gets a rush of 49 yards. CAR late on intercepts a pass on their 10 yard line, #22 tackled for a 10 yard gain. CAR 7-0 at end of first quarter Q2: CAR #22 with a 45 yard rushing TD, PAT GOOD. CAR up by 14. CAR #22 intercepts pass on PIT 19 yard line, tackled on the 5. CAR 4th down but kick blocked, offense recovers but is tackled straight away. CAR #22 yet again intercepts a pass and charges in for another TD from the PIT 40y yard line, extra point is good. HT CAR 21-0 PIT Q3: PIT who need something big in the next 2 quarters, started strong with a 35 yard rush on opening play. This was short lived as PIT QB threw yet again another interception, CAR player tackled immediately. PIT defense blitzes CAR, their QB sacked for a loss of 10 then CAR again lose yardage with another fine defensive performance. CAR punts on 4th down for 50 yards, caught by PIT #11 for a short gain. PIT passes to an open receiver, 30 yard pass is good. However the a similar event unfolded, PIT QB pass gets intercepted AGAIN by CAR #22 for carries ball for 47 yard gain. End of 3rd, CAR 21-0 PIT Q4: CAR 1st &10 on PIT 14 yard line. CAR #22 with an 11 yard TD, PAT GOOD, CAR up by 28. And you could not make this up......PIT QB THROWS AN INTERCEPTED PASS TO CAR #22 who is immediately stopped. Fortunes changed as the very next play CAR throws an intercepted pass, which PIT #11 collects and runs it into the end zone, PAT GOOD Full Time: CAR 28-7 PIT Sorry folks no pictures with this one. PIT QB with an absolutely shocking performance but on the other hand CAR #22 is looking like the MVP from this tournament
  24. Thanks for that may consider this in future and not just limit myself to the one style of figures! Thanks again
  25. I did have a question about the big men. Would it be possible to play big men teams against standard sized teams? Or is there an advantage for one team because of the size? Also will it look weird having them play against each other? Not sure if I should stick with the standard sized figures or go with some 67 big men in future thanks
