4) “Sim gonna sim” is a popular expression in the league. Write about teams that have been graced by the sim gods and had amazing performances despite statistical odds, and/or about teams that were considered favorites but may have dealt with some bad sim luck that hampered their efforts. How much of an impact did it have on their season(s)?
Im not sure if a type of answer like this is allowed but Im going to tell about the first season of the New York Silverbacks. There isn't normally any hype around expansion teams and their first season because well...its their first season in the league. But still, when your starting in a new league your expected to have a average season at best with the sim not really caring about you right? As a Silverback my first thought when we started the season was to get a season like the Sailfish did in S22 when they went 6-7 and made the playoffs. That was my predictions and oh was it so wrong from the start. First game for New York starts off home against the Berlin Salamanders. Everything seems to start out great for us as we were moving the ball down the field great. 20-20 in the 4th is where the sim decides to turn on god mode for berlin as they march down the field insanely fast to make it 20-27. But its okay! Because we scored a touchdown to tie it with a minute or so left in the game! Berlin completes a deep ball pass to get in field goal to win it 30-27. But its only 0-1 to start the season...not like were going to stay winless for a while or something. Week 2 in the making as the Silverbacks are winning by a field goal against the Otters with 2 minutes to go! The sim can't screw us for a second time right? Otters connect a deep ball to not only get in field goal range but to get the touchdown to win. 0-2. Week 3 starts as this time we are first to play in franchise history. Unlike the two other games, we can't do anything. 16-0 against the Outlaws. But wait..the talent is back! Its 19-20 with 7 minutes to go! Too bad the sim hates apples and makes Arizona march down the field and score a touchdown. Oh and thats not all. Howitzer throws a pick to end it for the Silverbacks. 25-20 final score. 0-3 record. Week 4 comes along in the same video as this time maybe we won't lose? Its only 6-7 and Howitzer throws a interception. 4th quarter, 6-27, 2 minutes to go. But hey! We scored a touchdown! WE SCORED A TOUCHDOWN! 27-13 BABY! 0-4 BABYYYY! We start week 5 with a expansion battle against Honolulu and JESUS CHRIST 23-7 IN THE 3RD? Isn't Honolulu supposed to be BAD? No wonder we are 0-5 when we are getting blown out by the HAHALUA. 0-5. This time though, we are facing the Sabercats. This team is ugly. We can't lose to them right? Well, were tied in the 4th right now. 20-20. Remember last time it was 20-20? We lost to Berlin by a field goal. THIS GAME THOUGH, we lose 20-23. I hate 20-20. 0-6. Week 7! Today, we might lose against NOLA! My old team! Well lets see.. we are down 17-9, and we are doing good on offense and defense, yeah were not coming back. NOLA wins 24-26 and our losing streak continues. 0-7! We face the Sailfish on week 8 and we suck. We just really suck. We suck so bad that its 41-13 IN THE 4TH. This is where I turn my TV off and cry myself to sleep. 0-8. We have talent. We have good coaches. What the hell is happening? Its okay though, we have the Liberty next week. That should be a easy win. Alright lets see here....its 14-23 and the Liberty are winning. I expect nothing more from my fellow Silverbacks. All I want to know is why does the sim hate us so much? Were actually decent while the Liberty was horrible last year! Dead last in the league! 0-9. Color Rush Week! This is where we look like literal piss. Actually it looks like the Hawks. Eh, same thing. Anyways, everything looks horrible. Our uniforms, our playcalling, our game, and DDPSF16 does too. Basically to summarize the whole game up, our piss colors gave us bad luck and we lose not scoring a single point besides a garbage time TD. 0-10. Double Digit Losses! Its now week 11. We face the Arizona Outlaws again! Last time we faced them, the sim decided to let them win with a field goal. Today though, we are up 24-21. We actually have a chance to win! YOU HEAR THAT SIM! YOU CANT STOP THE BIG APPLE TODAY! WE WON! WE WON! WE WON BY A FIELD GOAL! IM SO HAPPY! But it was already too late. We got out of the playoff picture week 9 and were bound to go 1-15. Yeah fuck that, fuck the sim, and fuck berlin. The Silverbacks decide to win more games and let Berlin take the #1 spot in the draft. Are the Silverbacks Sad? Hell no. We just proved how dangerous they could be next year if they keep it up like that. Do the same thing without the sim interfering, and we might make the playoffs going 9-7.
