Teir1 Prompt 6:
The ISFL and DSFL have been around for a long time before I ever arrived here. I was a lurker of the league for some time before finally creating here. Though I have only just started I was signed as a DFA in the DFSL and was very quickly taken aback at a few things on the site. Coming over from SHL the site felt very much the same but in the same instance very very different. The site as a whole is laid out the same but also has different workings to go around with it. This was one of the first things I noticed when creating. The site in itself though feels a lot like the same where people have come to share a common excitement for the game of football in a simulated league. Like other simulation sites people seem to have a share a common interest in the sport. As someone that has always enjoyed football but never really gotten into die hard following of a team I thought maybe it was time to jump on a bandwagon and also check out what the site was really like. I got my first taste of the simulation version of the game very quickly after creating as a DFA and getting picked up by Tijuana. The sim itself seemed really cool! Yes its nothing super special with a bunch of dots moving around on a board. But the actual recap of the plays and notifications of what had happened actually make it quite a bit of fun to watch! With seeing how this all went down it instantly had me interested to know what all happens behind the scenes in order to put into a strategy or game plan for your weekly matchups. It hard to believe that there are so few actual games a year but it makes total sense. Coming from a hockey background and being used to the 66 game SHL season cutting it down to 16 games simmed on alternate nights feels weird but makes it all the more exciting as every game has that much more meaning behind it. Getting picked up by Tijuana who was at the time in the playoff hunt after a rough middle stretch to the season made my first games in the league feel that much more exciting! Though I didn’t contribute much, only 2 tackles, one being for a loss, it was fun to be along for the ride and the playoff hunt! Though the team did end up coming up short with us relying on some luck needing another team to lose in order for us to slip into the playoffs it was still a hell of a ride. With all the excitement it was easy to forget that there would be no playoffs. But on the plus side unlike other sports football is a one game winner take all! This make for a quick offseason and we can get right back to the drawing board for the next season to come. First though we need to make it through the drafts! Though I might be switching up he topic here a bit I wanted to move onto the LR and site atmosphere. Football is a special sport that is almost all completed in 3 days of the week every week for 16 regular season games. I cannot think of another sport where everyone can just sit down in one afternoon and discuss all of games happening all at once. It makes for a very interesting dynamic in the locker rooms. People clearly divided on being fans of all sorts of different teams. But somehow they can all come together in a common place and have fun! Sure there is lots of shade being throw at each other but it is always in good fun and harmless. It has really made me realize how sports can really bring people from all over the world together. It is a fun thing to experience! Now being that I am a first gen player I am really looking forward to seeing how the offline draft goes! It is a very interesting concept to me that the draft is already completed before the public really even knows. How on earth do these gm’s keep their picks a secret for that long? How are sure there are no leaks happening? This whole Idea that are tons of people in each War room that have all the answers yet there are somehow no leaks is crazy to me! Though with the offline draft happening I imagine it makes for a long more time to create some deals or make some more moves? I am very interested to see how the draft all plays out and I am sure after my first draft experience I will get to see/know more about the whole process. I know I bounced a couple different ideas out here but as a newcomer to the site I don’t have a lot to draw on and felt this is the best way I could go about explaining my experiences around the site so far. Overall the first impressions have been very good! I obviously have some new things I need to learn in order to be handling the site better but overall I am very excited to be here and look forward to the many season ahead of me to come.
