(S29) Ultimus Week

[Raven]

Code:

21. Now thats three seasons on the new sim. What are your thoughts? Do you think that it is better than DDSPF16?

I think the best thing I like about the new sim is that it now keeps track of some of your stats within the sim index itself. I feel like that makes the index way nicer and more fun to explore and look around in. That might be the only thing though. I guess the addition of faces is nice, but sadly with it changing every time the index is updated it is just kinda a feature that I dont pay much attention to. I don't find the new sim particulary appealing or interesting to watch, but that is just a general thing with sims for me. As I do not really care to follow those live.  However for the 'ball throwing' feature which made everyone panties wet, it was kinda disappointing tbh. I was pretty disappointed by the fact that RBs were so boom or bust when the initial sim went up and that they had to fix that immediately. Feels like that should have been something they caught in testing. Also the sim made Safeties extremely boring to play, which made the fact that a position open up at corner back to work out perfectly for me. Overall I have no strong opinion about the switch. I guess playoffs being way more random is kinda neat.

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?

Considering I was a gm player, I was in a position to fill in any needs we saw with the team. At the time I created my player that was looking to be a safety. Which would have also been my pick if I had not been a gm. However if I had the full freedom of not having to worry about team needs and just my own. and if safety was oversaturated. I would have absolutely made a wide receiver. I have been outspoken since this player that I fully intend to make a wide receiver in the next draft I will be taking part in and even am very much looking forward to this recreate. As for why I would pick a wide receiver? It just seems like an extremely fun position to slide into and appear on the scoreboard with. It's one of the things I kinda miss now that I am playing on the defensive side of the ball. You have an effect on your teams score for and against, but without appearing on the scoreboard. So it's a little harder to see the impact you really make. Especially for a football illiterate like myself. If I dont see myself on the board I dont know how much of an impact I made.

27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?

I am going to be extremely biased. For the best brand in the league I have to pick up my own mind creation. Ofcourse I am talking about the brand for the Honolulu Hahalua. I am so happy with how this branding came out and is still my favourite one to date. The manta ray is an absolute chad put together with the lei flower and the overall picture just looks so nice. The colour scheme works so well for me the blue and yellow play so nicely together. It is hard to say that the brand you came up with and brainstormed the logo for is bad. Just in love with the Manta Ray brand of all things. So that is going to have to be my pick for the best brand in the league. The worst brand in the league has to be one of the Ultimus finalist. Cannot say I am a fan of either of those two brandings. I feel like I am leaning more towards teh Berlin Fire Salamander branding as the worst, but it is a close one. They could absolutely do with a little touch up in my mind. Probably a whole rebrand to make it better in my opinion.

29. Affliate PT from either SHL/PBE. The Weeks must match with the timeframe of this UW, which would mean SHL's PT #2, SMJHL PT #3, and PBE's PT 26-2.
