My first impression of the sim is... meh? Without being involved in the main reasons behind the switch it is difficult gauge how successful it has been so far. Im not involved in the tactical side of things, or the math on what strats work, or even what builds are effective or not. I'd have to assume those have been acknowledged and accounted for in the back rooms of the sim teams efforts. I don't have any reason to assume there are problems so that's good. Looking towards what DOES impact me and what I can draw conclusions, it's a bit more muddled.
The visual aspect of the sim is much easier to understand than before. It feels like every play is broadcast live and there is a better understanding of the flow of the game through the 2-D dot sim compared to when there were some plays that you just got told "incomplete" and that was it. It just feels a lot more cohesive that you can see every play. On that note, however, one flaw with the new sim is apparent in the display. While watching the game live is easy to understand and follow, stats are nearly impossible to track down. In the old sim it was easy to see the progress of you and your teams players by looking along the right hand side of the screen to get a breakdown of sacks, tackles, pancakes, rushing yards, etc. In the new sim I haven't found a way to consistently see that information. The sim is displaying different sets of information and it cycles between that and the statistics, but it feels the statistics are gone too soon to gain any information before it's back to the playcall. I'm sure I'll get better at finding that information as the sim moves along but that has stood out to me the most about the new sim.
Aside from the issues tracking data, I just want to say that the fields are all beautiful so far. Being able to actually see the entire field and get an idea of where the ball is without looking at yardage or downs is nice. Just feels a lot cleaner, especially with the new UI. Overall I enjoy the new sim for how clean it looks but I wish it was easier to see stats on a per game basis while the sim is on.
