Two Webers on the writing staff?? Wow, The APBA Blog has hit the motherlode! Double the fun! Kirk and Kevin Weber… or is it Kevin and Kirk? ;) I was just getting off of work (which is now my basement office as I’m working from home) the other day and…
Chris Williams shares another BBW tip… one I was not even aware of until now. Here’s how to change where position labels are mapped in the APBA computer game. Start a game and bring up the park you just installed. Now you have to move the player and manager names,…
