(S19) PT4 - ‘Tis the Season

[Mavfatha]

Over the past several months I've been pursuing a true passion project: recreating the NSFL inside of Madden. This league has been treated as an underling to the NFL for too long and I really wanted to change that as a Christmas gift to the rest of my leaguemates and particularly my teammates. Of course, with how quickly we go through seasons and the roster turnover involved with that, it has taken a lot of that time just keeping things up to date - and that's even before all the ratings updates! Now that I think about it, this is probably why there is no desire on EA's part to put in a league like ours. Anyways, now that everything is finished I unveiled the setup to the rest of the Sabercats, who went nuts to see themselves in such a mediocre game like Madden. They also insisted upon a series of tournaments to determine the grand champion among the team - nothing like the holidays to spend all day playing video games and getting way too into the spirit of competition. It was a grueling Christmas week, with separate tournaments for NSFL teams only, NFL teams only, and even a free-for-all round. Christmas cookies were consumed by the dozen on a daily basis, and we had to make daily egg nog runs as well. Overall it was pretty chaotic and not your traditional holiday time, but it was still a great bonding experience for the team.
