My thoughts on the new sim are as follows. I do believe this is a positive step for the league as a whole. Change is always opposed, and no one likes it, even if it's for the better. I strongly feel as if this is one of those instances. There are a few issues that need to be ironed out before this is a truly positive change, but I feel as if the positives outweigh the negatives here. Some of the issues I feel strongly about is the speed of the presentations, I feel like it could definitely be sped up, and it might need to in the future once we expand to 16 teams. Having long streams doesn't seem sustainable, and I feel like adjusting and tinkering with stuff now will help us be set up for success in the future. This season is almost like a test season of sorts, which sucks for me because it's like one year of my career that's getting wasted, it feels like. I only got 1 sack in preseason and I was hoping to finish with at least 5 sacks on the year, but I feel as if I'll be lucky if I finish with more than 2. There are some balancing issues, especially with running, but I feel like it's a butterfly effect. The skill position value formula seems pretty busted, with veterans getting a huge benefit, as opposed to TPE. It really does make low TPE players play much worse, which is understandable, but part of me was hoping to do well as a rookie. The only good thing about that is my fellow rookies will also be struggling. Those are just my 2 cents.
