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?
Oh I probably would've played either Safety or Wide Receiver. I'm a natural ball hawk, so give me the opportunities to play the ball in the air and I'll reward you. I'd probably prefer playing safety over wide receiver though, just because being paired with a shitty quarterback and/or offensive coordinator fuckin' sucks, especially when you're the only good receiver on your team, and the only balls coming to you are hospital balls. Shit is wack! I've done my time in high school already and I'm done with that. Done with getting hit late by dirty ass linebackers or defensive backs. Done with having to run streaks just to clear out a corner for another receiver to catch a 10 yard ball. I hate running and conditioning, and I hate dealing with these shit talkin' DBs who think they're the shit just 'cause my quarterback can't get me the ball properly. Mothafucka you didn't do shit! You know?
I played a bit of safety and I love it, but I feel it is so much harder than corner. I don't have the unwavering reliability of the sideline to play with. My "sidelines" are moving parts made by linebackers and defensive backs. I'm also kind of a shitty tackler, which is why I didn't cut it at safety after high school. Ay man, open space tackling is hard as fuck.
27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?
Worst branding in the DSFL has to be the Booty Bay Buccaneers, especially their field. Whoever designed that oughta be fired and never be given access to any graphic design tools ever again, not even Paint. I think they should cut the pink/purple from their colors. I would recommend replacing it with a deep wooden brown, the color of wooden pirate ships. I feel it would also complement the green and gold really well.
I think the London Royals have one of the better brandings in the DSFL. The gold and dark grey contrast really well. Their logo could use some tweaking in terms of symmetry though, which I had fixed in my field mockups, but I doubt they noticed or cared. Even though I'm a Lucha for life, red and green are two shades that just really don't go well together. Damn Mexican flag.
As for the ISFL, I like the Arizona Outlaws the most. I think I'm just a big fan of dark red hues. It is one of my favorite colors after all. Their logo is also solid and overall the theme has a lot of attitude. Very nice.
The worst in the ISFL? Hmmm, can't say which is the absolute worst, but I've never been a fan of the Sailfish's colors. Skyblue and lime green? Ugh. The Copperheads logo could also use a rework. The hell is up with that cut up snake? I know they were going for a kind of 3D effect, but it just doesn't work for me. I also think the Copperheads should make the copper brown their primary, and maybe even run the copperhead skin pattern on their jerseys, like how the Bengals used to have stripes all over. Might be very cool if done right. I mean, overall I think the ISFL has fairly shitty branding, but I'm also not a skilled enough graphic designer to offer rebranding ideas, so it kinda just sounds like I'm talking shit, lmao.
26. Football is a game that has been going on for a while, loved by fans all over. But what if you were able to make some rule changes? Talk us through your new version of football, and what would be different and why?
I'm a fan of removing kickoffs and replacing them with a 4th & 15 from your own 30 or whatever that the NFL had been experimenting with. I feel kickoffs add very little to the game, and the only bad part is that games no longer start with a "kickoff", but rather a punt (probably). If we're talking player safety, it is probably the most dangerous play and really adds nothing for what it offers. Especially now when they just keep moving the tee up and up and half of kickoffs are just touchbacks. Onside kicks are getting harder as well with the "no running start" change. So just make a 4th & 15. The better your passing offense, the more reasonable chance you can convert, and it's actual football.
The second think I'd get rid of is all of the "automatic 1st down" penalties. I would change it to "regain a down". So for example if it is 3rd & 15, and the defense commits a defensive holding penalty, instead of a 5 yard penalty and automatic 1st down, it would now be 2nd & 10. It is still quite a heavy penalty for the defense, but it doesn't automatically nullify everything the defense has done up until that point. It is disgusting to watch like a 3rd or 4th & long situation be given an automatic 1st down, especially when the penalty is like a super light hold or quick hands to the face, or whatever. Super dumb. And of course, if the penalty yards goes past the 1st down marker, it still grants the 1st down. e.g. 3rd & 5, defensive hold, would be a 5 yard penalty for a 1st down.
Aside from that, can't think of anything else I would immediately change, rule-wise.
17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. No graphics option available here.
Man, it's the fucking future. Let's futurize this shit! Imagine if fans were given like these special glasses that augmented the stadium/field, like Google Glass or whatever. And you can then see things like the blue line of scrimmage and yellow 1st down line that is visible on TV broadcasts, but now as a fan in the stadium! Expand upon this and the Glasses can be controlled with an app of sorts (or brain interface, 'cause it's the god damn future) and you can select individual players or whatever and see their various stats or things like that.
These Glasses would also come with earphones so you don't go deaf, and maybe offer things like the announcer's audio feed if you wish to listen to that. Maybe you can also select different camera views, like the Skycam or press box cam, etc., for when the field position is far away from you. The glasses would also have like binoculars built in so you can zoom in if you're sitting particularly far.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that in 2043 or whatever everyone has their own version of these glasses, so they should just be able to log into the stadium wifi using a QR code on their ticket and gain these bonus experiences free of charge. Also it would be cool as hell to get a feed of what the players are saying on the field. All the sounds of the game, the shit talking. Put that on a cable broadcast if needed. Hell, I'd pay!
And the default broadcast angle needs to be from the Skycam, offering a Madden-like camera angle. Equip it with a properly wide camera lens. FFS are we still watching the default broadcast angle in 2043? FML as a football fan.
