This is an incredibly difficult task to write about, but the PBE is in the offseason so I cannot link the affiliate PT. lol
To be honest, I completely missed the announcement of the new sim and have only been around in the Honolulu LR enough to have heard of the fact that we are being asked to rework out players using new archetypes. I have not even yet looked to see what those new archetypes look like.
This change actually comes at an inopportune time in the lifecycle of my player, WR Jed Podolak. I’ve already had one year of regression and will be going into my next one. I guess if I’ve got time to submit until after the season ends, it may simplify my regression calculation. All I will have to do is take my new regressed amount of TPE and create my new player’s archetype with that number rather than take points away from 2,3, or even 4 or more attributes. So, new sim simplifies the life of at least one user.
As far as impacting the performance of any particular player or team, I would think that there will be some variation off of who is best at the beginning, but once there is enough data to go along with the pure testing, things will settle back down into the same old teams being strong and the same old teams being less strong. You have more TPE, you are going to do well – excellent builds can nuance that some, but not completely overcome it no matter what sim you use.
