(S23) - PT 5 - A New Leaf

First off, I love the name change. ISFL feels more :clean: (shout out to my homies who understood that). But there was something comedic that I will miss about the Not-Safe-For-Life league. Regardless, time moves forward as so must we as an organization. This is a great step for change that was introduced a few season ago, and I understand change of this magnitude does take time.

I think something big that should always be looked at changing in the sim. DDSPF16 has been great for what it is. However, it has a slew of issues from silly coding to game breaking bugs. I know the search for a better sim is constantly on-going, but I really feel like we can do better with it. With Madden holding the license for the NFL, it’s really difficult to find a completed football game that isn’t Madden. And I know that Madden is by no means a perfect game either. But in terms of match engines, I think that Madden has a ton of appeal. It’s also pretty to look at. The customization options are huge, but perhaps it’s too big.

If that is the case, I know that we’ve looking at future editions to DDSPF. Unfortunately, the biggest feedback is that the viewing match engine is terrible for our league. One sim could potentially take 3-4 hours. Which just isn’t okay. But I wonder if there is some sort of way around that and we just aren’t seeing it. There has been communication with the developers to speed up the sim, but they say it isn’t possible. I bet they also say 79 speed coding isn’t a problem either… My point is, with all the big brains in the community, I’m surprised someone hasn’t found a way around it. Legal or otherwise.
