1 thing added to the league:
Everyone is saying the same few things here. While we have the rookie guides now and the mentors, and the DSFL seems to have a little more activity, there is still a big issue that we are facing. Player retention. We as a league don’t seem to have any issues getting 60+ new creates any time a true recruitment drive is performed but by the time that next draft roll around, we are left with less than 1/3 active. I am not sure what the solution to this is; I will leave that up to someone more creative than me. I will say that some effort or focus into player retention is one way this league will grow.
1 thing that you would like changed:
The NSFL contract system is completely flawed. First, teams are able to just dump all available cap into the first year of a deal followed by some minimum pay for the following years. You see contracts like 8/1/1 for a 3 year deal. Contracts should be more evenly divided amongst the entire duration of the deal. A quick solution would be for no single year to exceed 50% of the total contract amount. This would mean the same contract example above couldn't have more $5M for any 1 year. Also, minimum contracts should really be TPE based for the current season. There is no reason why an 800 TPE players should be making $2M. Now, every team is guilty of this but it would go a long way with free agency and league parity if teams couldn't horde a full team of actives making $2M.
1 thing that you currently like:
One of my favorite things about this league is the community. There are some great people here to just chat with. I am also a fan of the live sims. Nothing makes me happier than getting strange looks from my wife as I both cuss and celebrate as our little dots scramble around the screen. I have even gone as far as log into the twitch stream from my mobile while out for my wife’s birthday dinner. Actually, as I am typing this out, I am realizing this league may cost me my marriage. Then again, seeing my little dot perform well is better than any little blue pill, so maybe this league falls into the chaotic neutral category. Ummm, so that’s way off topic. Time to reign it back in. I also like the live commentary PbP. Yeah, that.
