New Year, new sim, newly creates, oh my! Lots of new changes coming to the league soon and there’s a lot of uncertainty on everything. First, the new sim will bring about lots of interesting changes that will make certain players and positions more valuable than others. I’m glad that our new builds will be able to impact team performance more. After chatting with some folks in the league, the current sim and builds are really a big dice roll with better probability for those teams with high TPE players. Although TPE will still be a major factor in player success, I think certain builds of archetypes and traits will play a big role in developing the identity of a team. I also see that the new sim will bring about more emphasis on builds and how they match up against other teams. Sounds like we’ll actually get some interesting team building aspects into the sim now rather than everyone picking a speed-based build. That’s probably still going to be the case, but there will be specific players who will purchase traits like Athlete or Role Model early on and I think we’ll see some big success from those guys. I think there’s a lot of look forward to for 2021 and I can’t wait to switch to a new archetype and see if I can replicate my favorite real life player, Derrick Henry.
