It is my opinion that the new sim is going to change everything. Whether it changes things for the better or worse remains to be seen, but I think it is going to be very disruptive to player and team performance. First and foremost, we have seasons upon seasons of stats and metrics that we have used to develop strategy and push a "meta" way of developing players and teams. Although we can likely assume that some of it will remain, we have no idea whether the "meta" builds will translate to the new sim. Teams that have capitalized on certain builds and strategies may no longer be the powerhouses that they once were, and young players that may have been destined for Hall of Fame play may find themselves underperforming in the new sim. Lastly, the new traits system will significantly impact player TPE allocation in completely new ways that very well may change the impact certain positions may have on a team. If a previously lackluster position can have new and exciting modifiers that impact games significantly, we could see the power projections of teams shuffle considerably and the strategy of the priority of certain positions over others shuffle along with it. All in all, the new sim will be a learning curve for all.
