Since my background is from the Simulation Hockey League, that is what my perspectives are from. There are definitely some reasons that the SHL is my primary league and not the ISFL, besides the fact that it was my first league. I think first of all is the image of the league. The branding in SHL is very on point, with maybe one or two logos or names I do not like. In the ISFL I think some of the branding is wonky or low quality. This is obviously up to the GMs but maybe they should be held to a higher standard. Another thing is that the banking UX is much better in the SHL. Having it in each player's profile instead of dealing with spreadsheets and thread posts is definitely worth copying. This is a huge quality of life improvement and eliminates a lot the hassle with updating. Ultimately. despite sim leagues being a forum based system, the move away from forums for a lot of functions is an ideal future as they can be done much simpler and smoother. There are many people turned away instantly because of how clunky the system currently is. Lastly there are a lot of complaints about the sim that ISFL uses. Switching sims is a difficult thing to work on, but the SHL has managed it and the ISFL can too.
