Task 6:
Something I am always fascinated with in these leagues is league history. History is what really drives me and guides how I handle my players for a long time too. One of my favorite tools in this league now and lately has been the WolfieBot, which easily shows the leaders in many categories, not just league wise but also for individual teams. I tend to look at WolfieBot several times a week and it really drives me.
I have kept my own statistics for my player for example and where he ranks in league history. I started this in S28, where for example I had 186 career tackles, which ranked me 377th all time. After S30 now, I have 280 tackles which already ranks me 318th. So I gained quite a bit! In other categories I am even better. I went from 38 tackles for loss to 42, and gained ten spots from 67th to 57th. In Forced fumbles I went from 6 to 9 and therefore from 91st to 62nd all time. In fumbles recovered my jumps have been even crazier. I only had one after S28 and now I have 5. That jumped me from 303rd to 64th. In sacks, I went from 30 to 47, which got me from 153rd to 86th. Hopefully this category I can still climb further.
I always enjoy checking out stats for players on my team as well. Slothlisberger ended his career in 11th place for career passing yards for example, just one hundred yards away from the top 10. He is also 11th in touchdowns. But in passing rating he actually made it into the top ten in 9th place.
An even bigger person I have watched for a while is star Wide Receiver Ed Barker, who had an insane career. In catches he ended up in 7th place. In receiving yards, he ended up in 4th place in the end, which is just insane! In touchdowns, while a bit lower, he did still make the top ten in 10th place.
It's still crazy to see some of my own previous stats. Julian O'Sullivan is still 5th all time in tackles, though one of my favorite players on NOLA ever, Quenton Bode has the all time record.
It's also crazy to see some users dominate certain categories. Dermot Lavelle and Dermot Lavelle Jr. being 1st and 2nd place in pass deflections is just insane to me! We also see David Rector and Andrew Witten very close to the top ten here as long term NOLA players.
I obviously always kept the top ten lists for NOLA, but it is also awesome to see these for other teams now and see what kind of history they went through. Something I find fascinating is how many different quarterbacks a team has gone through so far:
Baltimore 8
San Jose 8
Philadelphia 7
Arizona 6
Colorado 6
Yellowknife 6
Orange County 5
Sarasota 4
Honolulu 4
Las Vegas 3
New Orleans 3
Chicago 3
Austin 2
Berlin 1
New York 1
Obviously some teams have more history than others, but this is still interesting. I also think that this is one of the only things I don't like about the wolfiebot and something I am not happy with, which is that different branding for teams are seen as different franchises. To me, this goes against what is usually done in American Sports. So in this case, New Orleans and Las Vegas are seen as two different franchises, so some of the records aren't really the way I would have them in my own lists, as I counted Las Vegas as the same franchise.
What I would love to see in the future, though I am not sure how easy this would be, would be to look for a player in career or season records and immediately get what rank they are in those lists. You can look up player statistics but you don't see a rank there. But it would be awesome to not have to look through the many pages to find your player, but just being able to look for it and have it all listed. Like hey, you are 24th in career tackles, 40th in tackles for loss, etc. But I am not sure if this would be doable.
It really influences my player and how I am playing. I never want to switch positions since I want to be able to climb those leaderboards and it really will affect what player or position I recreate as as well. I just want to be able to climb those lists. Sadly, in my case, I was hoping to break the career record for tackles for loss, which due to the new sim is now basically impossible. That being said, I am still somewhat pleased with my progress and hopefully I can continue to do well and climb the leaderboards more in the future until I reach regression and eventually recreate.
