7. I found the League through Reddit and at first I was pretty excited about the chance to take part in a Football Simulation. I thought that this was a manager game but it turned out to be a lot better ^^
I created my account and joined both the normal Discord and the Rookie Discord.
Next up was my Player creation. I used the player creation tool and decided to pick a Tight End. It was either going to be a Tight End or something on the defensive Side of the Ball. In Madden I usually play a Cornerback or Safety. I would be down to switch to those positions if my ISFL Team needs it. But I doubt I'll be drafted to a Team that doesn't need a Tight End. Since SJS and YKW desperately need Tight Ends. Quick Shoutout to my Mock draft and "Te likely landingspots" Media posts.
After I picked Tight End I had to pick an archetype and I immediately went Vertical Threat. I want to be able to make plays and be dangerous in the passing game. Possesion Tight End was also an option but I decided against it.
The Rookie Guide is very well done. It basically guided me through my starting phase. I continued to create my update Page and I also started to write my Wiki Post. (I still make sure that it's up to date!) Creating a backstory for my player was fairly easy. As I am from Germany I made my player be german as well. Through good performances he got a shot at playing for a college and made the best out of it.
After the Rookie Task Points were done I was taking a look at each and every Team and also the already posted Media.
The wait for the Draft was waaaay too long. The first Scouting conversations happend and I had some favorites.
Come Draft day I wake up early morning, avoid all Discord Notifications and start to rewatch the draft. Due to being in germany the draft was at 2 AM and I couldn't watch it live.
It was a shock to me! Being drafted 3 OA was not what I was expecting! That made my whole morning! I was expecting to watch the first round picks and then drive to work to finish the draft.
Bondi Beach welcomed me very quickly to the Team and it feels like a family!
14. With a lot of holes to fill in Bondi my Player was able to play some snaps at WR. Due to picking a Vertical Archetype I was able to hold my own against some of the Cornerbacks in the league. Preseason was very rocky for us. We lost 73-7 ( I think) to Norfolk. Something that didn't really put our damper on our season as we expected to not do too well. We had 10 Call ups last Offseason! We ended up finishing the Offseason with a record of 1-3.
Week 1 was also against Norfolk and this time we did better. We still lost but we kept it pretty close until the 4th quarter where we failed a couple 4th downs.
It was pretty clear from the beginning, Ken Oath had to carry us through the season. We only had a decent WR and myself, a Rookie, as passing weapons. In the beginning I was obviously still below 100 TPE and only marginally growing each week.
I myself started the season with an average of 30 yards per game. Let's not talk about the drops tho! So many god damn drops. Thankfully it got better with every upgrade. We were having a lot of bad games as expected but we also had some surprise wins during the season. For example a win vs Tijuana! We were still only fighting for the 1st Overall Pick this season tho. We are in a pretty close race for it ^^
It will be decided tonight I think. Whoever wins/losses will get the 1st OA Pick.
Obviously I'd much rather play in the playoffs but maybe we can make that happen next Season. That depends on how good our draft will be and it also depends on which Team my player will be drafted by. There are a couple options and if my Player gets drafted by either San Jose or Yellowknife then my player might be called up immediately. Which is kinda cool but also kinda sad. Cause my player would have been able to ball out next season in the DSFL as an already Capped player. If I stay down then i'm shooting for Mark Goodhead's stats. He balled out last season! But i obviously wouldn't be mad about an immediate Call up as well. It would be rough for my player as my TPE is so much lower as all the other Rookies but I'm sure I would be able to hold my own against the other players.
