One:
I desperately want to see a NSFL YouTube channel created. It could host all past streams, which would be great for people who missed the livestream, want to watch historic NSFL games, or even just new players who want to binge watch their new teams’ old games (aka what I would’ve done when I first joined if we had a channel). It could also have some official “welcome to the NSFL” and “how to get started” videos, and maybe even some hype videos (less info, more GET HYPED FOR FOOTBALL). Oh, and lastly, it could have draft streams, which I know we haven’t always had, but I think should be a priority if possible.
Two:
Please, please, can we stop relocating teams so much? And even some current team locations are ridiculous. Look, I know we’re a sim league - our players and teams aren’t real - and people want the team they GM to have some connection to them, but... the relocations I’ve seen are completely unrealistic. I know this may not be a big deal to some people, but this is easily the most frustrating thing in the league for me. First of all, no city would realistically let some team come in and build a stadium for a fledgling football league when they built a stadium just 4-5 years ago and are already moving out. Do NFL teams move? Yes, but rarely. The Chargers, Rams, and Raiders are outliers, and they are part of a huge historic league. Also the fans from their old cities largely hate them? In a small league with not too many fans, you’d want to avoid that... Anyway, let’s now talk about some specific relocations. Chicago to Palm Beach. Just why? Not gonna lie, Solar Bears colors and logo is actually pretty sweet, but Chicago is a huge market. Why would you want to move out of that, when the expenses and fan cost of relocating are so massive? And yes, Kansas City moved to Chicago.... but now you’ve left Kansas City behind. Also, I’ve heard people talk about the Legion relocating. Whether or joking or serious, it makes no sense. Las Vegas is an awesome place to have a team.
Now, I don’t want to be making non-constructive criticism, so I’ll offer an alternative to relocation: re-branding! Is it ideal? In my opinion no, but it’s a whole lot better than relocating.
Except for one team. And that team is the Yellowknife Wraiths. Why is the team not in Toronto? Or Quebec City? Why in the Northwest Territories? As of just now, I’m actually an advocate for moving the Wraiths to a much larger, much nearer-the-border Canadian city.
Before I move on to part three, this is in no way meant to attack anybody who wants to move their team or has moved their team. I’m not against you... I’m just against what you happen to want to do.
Three:
I’ve never been a member of a sim league till this one, but I know the fact that games are streamed makes us very unique, and I’m very thankful for it. Because, honestly, I cannot even imagine how monumentally boring it would be for me as a kicker to, after every week, have to go look at the index and box scores and dig through the play by play just to find out how my kickoffs were (something the sim doesn’t track in index), the exact yardage of my kicks, if any kicks or XPs were blocked and not just missed, how the team ended up at the point I’m kicking from, etc. Doing that on occasion is annoying but, eh, oh well. Sometimes like last night I miss a stream, no big deal. But I could not do that every week. As it is, in the streams I’ve never once seen my player because special teams plays aren’t shown! I want to be able to see how I end up in a position at least. TLDR: huge shoutout to everyone who makes the streams happen. I’d be here without them.... but not nearly as active as I am.
