PBE Championship Week
7) Selflessness is one thing, but ultimately everyone wants to hear their own player’s name mentioned among the greats. Take some time, in 400 words or more, and discuss how your player’s (or past player’s) career is going so far. Are you matching any expectations you set out for yourself? Do you see yourself on a potentially award winning or Hall of Fame career trajectory? If your player is just starting out, what goals and visions do you have for yourself?
My career so far has been an interesting one. Starting out, I joined one of the smaller NSFL classes in recent memory, as S20 was super small compared to S21, S22, S23, etc. We only had about thirty players I think in total and less actives than that too. I was one of four players who joined the league as a waiver create, and that started me off to become the highest earner in the class(a title I still hold to this day, but likely not for much longer unless I can actually get the motivation to writing more media and buying high tier equipment). When I created, I was claimed by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, who now are a thriving DSFL team but then was a cesspool of inactivity and failure, as we went 2-12 in my sole season there. I only played two games, but I was quickly on the map for the rest of the DSFL and teams were lining up quickly to scout me and I was highly touted by most. As I gained and gained more TPE, it seemed fairly likely that I was going to be selected first overall in the DSFL Draft, and I was. The Minnesota Grey Ducks(recently relocated from San Antonio and rebranded entirely) chose me to be the lead back with the team, and I was replacing two high caliber players who both moved on to the NSFL. Right away in Week 1, I dominated the league and the bot team we were facing, running for 192 yards, two touchdowns, all on only twenty carries. It was that performance that showed the league that I was going to run this team, and it would only go as far as I could take it. I very literally carried the Minnesota Grey Ducks throughout the entire season, and every win and loss depended on how well I could play. Our quarterback, while solid, was getting very much used to handing me the ball play after play. Darrel Williams quickly turned from the nobody from the PBE to the best running back in the DSFL. No one could match my gaudy numbers, and while they weren't the best usage-wise, by pure numerical strength I was dominating the rest of the league. The Grey Ducks finished that season strong, won the first playoff game, and we faced our perennial rival Tijuana. In the biggest Ultimini upset in recent memory, the stacked Luchadores lost to us and I became an Ultimini champ.
16) Make a comparison between your own team and a playoff team, if your team failed to make the postseason, showing why your squad was better. Written option available for 200 words or more.
The Baltimore Hawks did not make the postseason, and we were not that close. Finishing 3-11 was rough, but we were arguably better than the Sarasota Sailfish, who did make the playoffs with a 6-7 record as an expansion team. The main argument why our team was significantly better than the Sailfish was our incredible rushing attack. While the Sailfish relied more on the pass, our running attack(our strength) was better than their strength, which was their passing game. As well, the two teams were very close in PPG and opponent's PPG, meaning if a few more games went our way(Baltimore played a ton of close games and easily could've eeked out a few more victories), the Sailfish could've missed the playoffs entirely. The Sailfish also only barely had a better defense than us, and overall player-by-player our team was arguably better. Sure, we weren't able to actually make it count, but these two teams were very, very close in a lot of team statistics and with a few more updates and better bounces of the football, the Hawks will once again return to contention and the Sailfish could just as easily fall out of it. Only time will tell which team will come out on top in the NSFC in the future.
