[Colors of the game]

I have to agree that those two hand painted teams are especially appealing.  

I am lucky to have picked up the dolphins in the dark jersey several years back.   I have never had the Buccaneers dark jersey.

[Old Yankee Stadium]

Thats amazing

[A work in progress]

Great work 

[Great Video on how to Pass/Throw]

saw This video and it is one of the best I have seen for actually throwing with your QB.   He is using Next Level QB but I believe you could adapt this technic to most QBs.

[Pants color for 1923 team]

Shawn, don't you have the bottom team? I think it was part of the "Ivy League" teams that you bought from The NEFGM Store a while back. 

By the way, the other figures are "Playtime" figures that came with the 1991 Playtime ABC's ELECTONIC Monday Night Football Game painted to represent 1920's NFL Duluth Eskimos, Los Angeles Buccaneers, Dayton Triangles and canton Bulldogs. 

Yes I do have that team.   Incidentally I do have several of the “playtime” teams.   Maybe I will make them 1920’s also.

[Pants color for 1923 team]

They look great

[Pants color for 1923 team]

My daughter will be painting my 1923 Dayton Triangles team soon.

What I need to know is what color to use for the pants.   It appears brownish?

[Merry Christmas!]

Hoping you all have an Electric Football Christmas!

Since my birthday is a few days prior to Christmas I have already scored some EF goodness!

•  Enough ITZ leatherheads to finally make my Dayton Triangles team.
•. Tudor Chiefs decals and facemasks to finally make my Superbowl 54 Chiefs. 
 

Hoping for more under the tree on Christmas!  Santa I’ve been good!

Anyway hope you all have a great holiday!

It is rather humorous to see. 😃👍

 

What a wonderful illustration of how well bases might run on an electric board!  

 I note that as the figure moved off the magnet it did not noticeable change speed.

They are available for an additional $10.00. You have to specify vinyl or magnetic. 

I wish I had seen that.   Would have had it on my Christmas list.

No mention of the magnetic option in the description though and I guess I never scrolled down far enough to the prices to see the option.

[Magnetic Field Covers]

I thought Tudor was going to start carrying the magnetic field covers?  Is  this still in the furure?

[Awesome Video]

Wow!  He has covered every generation of EF figures as well as every generation of football uniforms!

And then the painting on these figures is over and above.   Oh how I wish I had this kind of skill.  Just beautiful!

[What’s next]

Excellent!   I used that thought when I created my Boston College team…ie.  The “Flutie Hail Mary”.

[Long Island EFL BREAKING NEWS: (LIEFL Regular Season Completed)]

I have always enjoyed reading posts.  You love for the game is obvious and I hope you save these articles to reread in the future.   
I enjoy reliving past seasons by reviewing my game sheets and stats.

For my part I must admit that for last few months I have not been very active on the board.  

[Pressure sticks size]

Coach Shawn, my name is Jesse

I purchased the Tudor passing sticks making my own pressure sticks but the new ones a longer than the lengths of your pressure sticks any suggestions ?

 

 

Thank You Sir

Well if you want to use the same ratio you could add half of the #1 stick to your ball placement when pressure is achieved.

or just add the 13/16” that is used for tje buzz ball sized sticks.

[Dual-dial bases: What does the front dial do? The rear dial? How do they affect each other?]

I have a RG and LG that I sub in when I need a solid pocket to pass from.  They both use dual dial bases and are adjusted to move forward at an oblique towards the center. 
I tweaked them to decent strength, though my starters are stronger.

I also will use the to oblique out depending on where i need blocking.  

I think the oblique setting is the most useful for me, but I have had success with dual dial loopers also.

[Beenutt Packers]

They look great.   
I used Beenutt figures for my Boise State team and am very pleased with them.

[Passing Sticks and Pivoting the Intended Receiver]

I pivot then place the sticks. To me this represents the receiver making his “cut” on his route.

I do not allow pivots after the catch.

This I believe matches the TAP rules. 
I do however, allow the QB to throwaway the ball.   In fact I use that as a stat for the defense (ie. How many forced throwaways the defense can accrue).

[Is there anybody out there?]

I was referring to the magnetic field covers.   Those appear to be the peel and stick kind,

Magnetic field covers are here!!!!  Pro and college - YES  HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.  I now have my COWBOYS and VOLS magnetic board and can switch them out to play on the same board!

I have been waiting for these.

 I can’t find them on the website though??  Anyone?

[Favorite EF statistics...?]

I enjoy sacks and pressures.  
using stick passing allows you to add pressure on the QB as a stat.   If pressure is achieved you add an extra measure to your target ball placement  thus making it a more difficult completion.

From my perspective the thoughtfulness should occur in designing the play and then practicing it over and over and over and over... Ad Infinitum.

Then in game situations the coach shouldn't need to pivot the little plastic peeps. Turn on the motion generator and watch the players block or run like they practiced.

Well said.  My EF philosophy is to do that…set up the play and then let the players on the field perform.

Multi stop is definitely a legit method to play but it is not my preference.  I think it would increase the game duration and then, at least in solitaire, I would be responsible for multiple decisions for both teams every play.

I'd be breaking out the scissors lol.

Yes,  we trim them as small as possible, however, we have a clock running for setting up your formation so in the rush to beat the clock we get a little sloppy with the placement of the felt pad.

 

[Another situation]

Only think I don’t like in this play is that footprint of player is increased by the freeze frame, and the defensive players just glances it.  But, I made the decision to use the frame.  I’m calling it a sack.  

We use felt under the base to create a standstill player.  Our rule is that the felt is part of the base.  So if it sticks out and is touched it is equal to touching the base.

Here is the final 15 seconds.

Had a question about the first play here.  It looks like the QB’s drop back is stopped by the Shamrocks looper and they are in contact.  Wouldn’t that have been a sack?
