In a league like the NSFL, there's going to be something, somewhere to frustrate you at almost all times. In the current season, I can think of a few.
The time-out mechanics in the sim leave a LOT to be desired. It could just be observer bias, but I feel like I see the team in the lead in the last two minutes of any given half will purposely spike the ball and call timeouts so they can punt the ball away and give the opponent more time. A little frustrating, but not much raise to the blood pressure.
Losing two home-games against possible future playoff opponents this season was also frustrating. Especially so, because testing the strategies and depth charts used in the game after the fact showed the Otters being favored to win by 78% and 80% in the two games. Homefield advantage in the playoffs is nothing to scoff at, and those games might cause us to miss out on that. Now that's bad luck, but again, my blood pressure is doing alright.
What really gets my goat is that in the first three seasons of the NSFL, the GM's that won the Ultimus also won the GMs of the Year award (shared in S1 with the other Ultimus team). In Season 4, 5, when the Otters won the Ultimus? The LOSING GMs won the award! As GM of the Ultimus victor, the Orange County Otters, I somehow missed out on the prestigious award twice to the guy my team beat to get there! That'll flabbergast the best of us and definitely cause a minor spike in my blood pressure.
Maybe someday I'll step out of the shadow of the greatest ever Head Coach @timeconsumer and earn some respect as an effective CHAMPION General Manager.
