Season 50 is going to be a crazy one for the league I'm sure. The popularity of American football means I expect more rapid growth that will surpass PBE and SHL in that time. Such popularity probably then comes with expansion a few times over. I personally can't wait to see the new brandings and new GMs testing their mettle, and I love seeing the passion that these leaders of teams have for the league. The energy around the league is a lot like the SHL that I know so well, but the sites are definitely distinct and I love seeing the unique members and what they bring to the table in a sim league.
25 more seasons will put us close to starting 2025 too, so I'd expect an updated sim engine is on the horizon again, which is always a fun change. I'd also be near or into a third player here which is a wild concept to me since the SHL regression is scheduled so differently. I plan on going 12 or more seasons there on my player that's going into his 5th season, so to think that I'll be on a third player here, if I earn well enough to have full careers, is crazy. That does let the site appeal to more people though, since you don't take as long to be competitive at the high levels of play, again leading to more people getting involved. I expect the ISFL to be the most populated sim league at that point, and honestly well before then, despite some quality of life features that don't yet exist like a banking system that exists outside the forum.
With so many people on the site 25 seasons from now, I'm excited to see what media looks like. The SHL has seen highlight videos
here and there, as well as an ESPN style media network in the past few seasons that does a lot of different things like analytics, players of the week, draft recaps, and trade discussions. I expect the later to explode in popularity with the number of people from different industries and hobbies showing up and leveraging some of that to make the league feel more alive. It's been a big part of making the J league in the SHL more fun, and the threads drive a lot of interaction between teams which is great for rivalries.
