(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[ReverendOReily]

Change can be a contentious thing, especially when applied to large groups of people, so it’s no wonder that changing to the new sim has left some people very happy, while leaving other people with some rather rustled feathers. Currently, I’m feeling pretty in the middle, as much of a cop out answer as that is. I like that we can see the ball move. I like that when my team is down by 1 point in the fourth quarter and we get the ball back with 90 seconds left in the game, we have an actual shot at winning. We even did win one of those games this season! Such things were impossible in our old sim. I mourn the loss of constantly available player stats. Some of the stat lines have been ridiculous, and it almost feels like certain teams are playing madden on arcade mode. As a result, fantasy this season could definitely end up being a little whack. The new fields are really cool! I don’t understand why HO felt it was necessary to let their own personal tastes dictate what goes on the fields of the teams around the league, but ultimately we ended up with some really great gfx that give a nice bump to the quality of our league’s streams.
