(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[CLG Rampage]

Considering that I have had some time to work with the new sim, what with me being a temp GM in Baltimore, I think it has some cleat advantages and disadvantages that make it hard for me to say which is better. On the advantages side, it actually simulates football now (at least better that DDSPF16 did), which is certainly nice considering we're a football league. We have more control of our team at a fundamental level due to a bunch of new options, and the new competitiveness rating as well as the new traits give people more stuff to earn towards. It still seems like speed is king, which kinda sucks, but at least now the speedy guys are somewhat boom or bust. Before, they would almost always boom. Watching the sims is pretty difficult, but I don't think that's something we can fix without having multi-hour streams, which I'm sure most people don't want. One thing I think the league needs to do immediately, is to have seperate leaderboards on records, dividing between the new sim and the old sim. It's very clear to me that several records, especially those belonging to running backs, are going to be broken just due to how strong elite running backs are in the new sim. Much like how NFL stats are sometimes broken down to pre-merger and post-merger, I think the league needs to divide records in DDSPF16 and DDSPF21 seperately, if nothing else for clarities sake.
