* The War for Sunday Night - cosbornballboy - 08-09-2017
The title is a little reference for all you wrestling fans out there.
Now, over these few short weeks reporting on the NSFL, this reporter has realized a few things. One of them being, namely, the EFL, or the Elite Football league. This league does not have the Great teams such as the Hawks, Outlaws, Otters, Wraiths, Liberty, Yeti, Sabercats, and Legion, but rather the likes of San Antonio Wolfpack, the LA Reign, the Seattle Predators, the New York Herd, the Memphis Bandits, and the Miami Neptune. However, there are a few key distinctions between the leagues. In the NSFL, rookies are welcomed into the League immediately and have veteran teammates to learn and pick up tips from. In the EFL, that is replaced with the NCAA, a college football league dedicated to allowing players to pick up skills more easily and earning TPE before being thrown into the league. To combat this, the NSFL has recently enacted the development of the DSFL, a developmental league to allow players of lesser talent to cultivate their skills and still be a part of the league, as opposed to being in college. In the EFL, there is definitely more of a backstory element. One of the first things a player is encouraged to do when joining is write a high school backstory, whereas on the NSFL, people generally choose which college they went to and that was it, and while it is still fun, it takes away from having that backstory that so many people crave.
Another noticeable difference is the forum setup. One could argue that the compact, logo filled system of the NSFL is favorable to that of the still linear, but less compact version that the EFL holds. In the EFL, it is sometimes harder to remember where you're going when you want to upgrade your player, and you have to search it. In the NSFL, there are logos leading you towards everywhere you need to go, and the compact nature of the forums simply doesn't allow you to forget where you're going.
Overall, the EFL may be superior to the NSFL in terms of role-playing, and the NSFL may be superior in terms of forum simplicity, but they are both equally fantastic leagues that are equally fun to play on, even if the EFL will never have a team as good as the Orange County Otters.

I agree, I just had to be unbiased for the sake of good journalism. NSFL > EFL. But EFL is still lowkey fun

I would kind of disagree that the EFL is better for role-playing. Sure they give you a reward for doing that backstory section but then it almost feel mandatory. Here at the NSFL, people have a variety of ways to craft their backstory either through a press conference or media and it just feels more natural and less forced. That's not to say there aren't creative people in both leagues but go read one of @SimmerDownBruhh's article series and then try to tell me we don't have creative role playing here

The AFL and NFL had a merger game called the Super Bowl, would something like this happen today?

NSFL would stomp EFL if that happened, the players are so much further advanced in attributes.

Ours is the money and assigned point task system and theirs is no money, your media is your PT. It's the same as the sim hockey world. We are like the SHL and they are like the VHL.
