(S27) PT1 - First Impressions

[thecanadiancanuck]

The new sim engine is just such a vast visual improvement over the old one. My favourite part is probably how much smoother the game seems to flow. I can actually see the ball move on pass plays, and kicking plays being visible are nice as well, particularly field goals as they would normally be skipped over and I'd be left questioning what had happened. Overall, it feels like watching an all-22 version of a live game. The only thing that I preferred from the old sim was being able to see player stats mid-game, as I haven't been able to really find those so far. As for my player, I quite enjoy the simplified roles.

As for my favourite fields, I haven't really seen a live stream so far, but from watching replays I will say that I really like the Pythons home field (biased, I know). The green just works really well with the grass colour, and in particular the yard numbers are in a great font. I also quite like the Honolulu Hahalua's home field. It's just such a big contrast from every other home field (except for maybe Kansas City) that it really stands out from all the other green-shaded fields.
