(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[Voltaqe]

My first impressions of the new sim have been almost all positive. My player is actually putting up some pretty crazy numbers so how could I not be happy. I do have a few criticisms though. Firstly it still feels like speed is the “god stat” even in the new sim. Looking at how games have been played usually more speed has lead to a greater advantage from what I have seen. The second criticism I have is that they have not implemented a way for people to step out of bounds when the situation dictates they should. Many games could have been a lot more exciting if a player was able to kill the clock by stepping out of bounds instead of getting tackled in play and the clock running out. On the same train of thought as that time management in general is quite bad in the new sim. A few times already I have seen timeouts where it makes no sense and also no timeouts when it does make sense. For instance calling a time out right before you punt the ball away before half which could give the other team just extra time to get down the field and score on you. Also it doesn’t only have to do with timeouts. I also saw a spike at the end to end the game. Like why spike it and not run a play. I know that it may be hard for a sim to fix these problems but just some things that I saw so far.
