(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[Vaelynn]

As a true rookie to Sim football I have had a blast figuring things out and getting started here. I think, so far, I have claimed every available TPE since I began my career. I wasn’t sure I would enjoy the games as much as the progress, but I was really wrong – the games themselves are really entertaining. My friends (who all started at the same time as me) and I all get together and watch the games, loudly commentating and exclaiming when we see one of our names get called out for making a play. Collectively, we have 5 touchdowns, an interception, 3 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and 1 forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries… and that’s only in two games, so we have had a lot to get excited about. The culture of the league is even better. I was drafted to the Portland Pythons (go snakes) and experiencing the locker room community has made it even more fun for me. Something about the way everyone participates and cares about the game makes you want to get everything done to improve your player… anything you can do to improve your team’s chances of getting the Ultimini. Overall, I had my skepticism entering the league, but I was blown away quickly by how entertaining it is.

As for the streams, I love the commentary – this is the only sim that I’ve ever seen, but I do think it’s hilarious that we have light jazz as the background music a lot of the time. (255 words)
