To all of the new members - caltroit_red_flames - 03-05-2019 I've been in the NSFL for a little under a year and although I'm a part of a few other leagues, but the NSFL is definitely one of the most fun, exciting and rewarding when you're on a team that really buys into trying to win. I want to say that right now you're probably hoping to be one of the best players in the league. That's awesome! But also there are some people that kind of no life this game and get literally everything bit of TPE that ever comes into existence. And if that's not you then that's totally fine! Every team needs 2nd and 3rd wide receivers, and you can still be a difference maker on either side of the ball if you just stick with your player for at least 2 or 3 seasons even without get every ounce of TPE available. We're all really excited to have you guys here. Go kick some ass in the DSFL! To all of the new members - SwagSloth - 03-06-2019 This is actually something that is coming up in a lot of my conversations with players lately. In my experience, there are three types of players. 1 - The player that goes after every bit of TPE possible, gets it, and manages to do this over a long period of time. These players exist and they are awesome, but a lot of people aren't going to fall into that category. 2 - The player that pushes themselves to go after every bit of TPE, gets burnt out, and goes inactive. They'll get 200-300 TPE in a season or two, then go inactive during their first NSFL season. They're great fillers and can quickly fill a need, but peak early on. 3 - The player that paces themselves, earns at their own rate, and sticks around. These guys are great. Maybe they won't get to 200 TPE in their first season, but if they earn a decent amount every season, they'll end up way ahead of the #2 category guys. Plus, they stick around and remain part of our community. Unfortunately, it's hard to know which one of these you are until you've been in the league a while. If you're a #1, awesome! But if not, that's okay, too. If you feel like the league is too much work, it's okay to dial it back. We'd much rather players to go at their own pace rather than push themselves too hard and cause the league to stop being fun for themselves. To all of the new members - terriblehippo - 03-09-2019 Man, reading this makes me feel a hell of a lot better. This is my first experience with a sim league of any kind. I'm definitely having a great time, and I know I'm gonna have fun going forward. But there's a lot of information to process and things to do, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. It's good to know that just because I don't get capitalize on every single TPE opportunity I won't be at a (severe) disadvantage. I feel a lot better knowing that I can go at my own pace, and that as long as I keep up that pace, I'll be competitive. This community is fantastic, and I'm really looking forward to being a part of it for a long time.
