(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[iStegosauruz]

Lets get the first thing out of the way - straight up the new sim takes ages for games to be played. I used to watch literally every game and now I mostly just tune in for the Silverbacks. It just takes so damn long. That being said, I do enjoy that its mostly less buggy. By no means is it perfect but not seeing a receiver drag a corner 95 yards or some other weird glitchy thing is so satisfying. I honestly didn't realize how much better that was going to make me feel until it happened. In terms of the Silverbacks I'm torn thus far. We won the first few games against what I would normally consider to be tougher opponents fairly easily, however we've lost two straight against teams I thought we'd be fairly favored against. We got shut out by San Jose when we never got shut out in any practice run I ran or any post run I've since done. Just some spooky stuff and I guess although the sim doesn't have the same level of stupid, glitchy graphical errors that it has plenty of the same "sim gonna sim" effects. On the bright side its made Mendoza not quite a bum which is something else I never thought I'd see.
