With the new year will come a huge transition for the league, as we switch sims to DDSPF 21. Overall I am pretty excited for the transition, for a few reasons. One, the new archetypes are seemingly designed to help balance out positions. So rather than there being a "best" archetype that everyone flocks towards, player building could be more customized for personal tastes. This should help players feel more invested in how they choose to build their player rather than just following a pre-set path. Hopefully this leads to a more engaging experience for users. The other big change that I think will be interesting is the supposed difficulty in sim testing. There has been an explosion in the volume and quality of sim testing over the past 5 or so seasons due to efforts made by some of our smartest users. This, coupled with the decompiling of the sim, has lead to what has felt like a drain on the fun of gameplanning. We know what works and why, so what reason is there for anything else? Not to mention sim testing is time consuming and has probably lead to burn out of some of our best users. However, in the new sim, testing is apparently much more difficult. Hopefully this leads to more emphasis on creative strategies and more of a focus on team building over focusing on a few percentage points.
