*USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - Thor - 05-11-2020 Welcome to the inaugral USA vs The World game! vs (Yes these logos are shamelessly stolen from SHL) With the SHL running international tournaments based off players nationalities, I thought it would be a great idea to look at implementing a similar style of game here in the NSFL. The idea was simple, collect the nationalities of each player and determine (based solely off TPE) the best line-ups for each country. In practice, there are very few countries other than the USA that are capable of filling the whole line-up on a team (read: none), so instead we have brought all of the other nations together to battle it out with the creators of the game of American Football, the USA. Assembling the roster for the World team took a lot more effort than I'm willing to admit, but the qualifiers were as follows: Must be an current player in the NSFL or DSFL (No retired players allowed, sorry) Must be born outside of the USA (Anywhere outside, for example Baby Yoda born on Dagobah counts) and that's it! What made this so very difficult is a lack of database that lists every international player, I started with wikipedia as I knew there were categories for certain nationalities and that was a great help to get me started. Unfortunately as many of you would know, this is hardly a comprehensive list - so I had to revert to manually checking every single roster page through every NSFL team for birthplaces. Oh, but guess what? A lot of people have no birthplace referenced on their player page in the team roster, so for those players I had to cross reference their wiki (if they had one) to check if they had a birthplace there. Any players with no birthplace listed at all (both wiki and player page) were deemed inelligible for either team. Assembling the roster for the USA team was a bit easier with the qualifiers being as follows: Must be an current player in the NSFL or DSFL (No retired players, again) Must be born inside of the USA With that we end up with two distinct rosters, one team made up of the best international players from all over the world, and one team made up of the best of the players born in the United States of America. I will be inputting these rosters into DDSPF16 using the Week 7 final player file, and running a simulation game which I hope to stream for everyone as an exhibition game in the very near future. Before I am able to do this I am just waiting on a few DSFL players to submit builds to me utilising all of their TPE (as they are currently capped at 250, but all of those included in the roster have more banked for when they're called up to the NSFL). I would also ideally like to find a somewhat experienced GM (maybe previous GMs could help out) for both Team World, and Team USA to design strategies and depth charts for their teams based on the rosters provided, if this interests you please contact me either here or via discord (thor#0300), you do not have to be on the team you want to GM for - but must have a player that would be elligible for it. Lastly before giving you your first view at the rosters, I'd like to say that when I first began this experiment I fully expected Team World roster to be blown out of the water by Team USA and was surprised at the significant amount of talent available in the end for both teams, which should make for a much more interesting game than I had planned. Without further adieu, the rosters: Team USA - OFFENSE Quarterback Wolfie McDummy Easton Cole Cooter Bigsby Running Back Sam Torenson Forrest Gump Ashley Owens Tight End Austin McCormick Earl Sauce Avon Blocksdale Jr. Johnny Blaze Wide Receiver Hugh Mongo Nacho Varga Saba Donut Dexter Banks II Rod Tidwell Nate Swift Offensive Line Givussafare Rubbe Byron Dolls Calvin Golladay Samuel Bakthiari Douglas Quail DEFENSE Defensive Tackle Bubba Thumper Bjørn Ironside Brayden Ennis Defensive End Nero Alexander Immanuel Blackstone Kyle Idlewyld Linebacker Mo Berry Quenton Bode Lanzer Grievous Honda Edmond Cornerback David Rector Korrin Abernathy Emondov Emoji Safety Walt Green Richard D'Attoria V Mason Blaylock SPECIAL TEAMS Kicker Venus Powers Punter Dougie Smalls Congratulations to all those selected for team USA! If you were snubbed but have a higher recorded TPE than the players listed feel free to contact me, as adjustments can be made - and it's likely I will have to include a few more players (which I have a list of alternates ready to go for) to make the minimum position requirements of the sim. Team World - OFFENSE Quarterback Franklin Armstrong - CAN Corvo Havran - CZE Jay Cue - POR Running Back Mako Mendonca - UK Marcella Toriki - NZ Baby Yoda - DAG Tight End Peter Larson - DEN Jammerson Irving - CAN Leon McDavid - CAN Jeffrey Phillips - CAN Heath Evans - AUS (I technically don't make the cut off with 4TEs but I made this list so I do what I want, deal with it) Wide Receiver Bender Rodriquez - MEX Future Trunks - JAP Eddie Jeeta - UK Thomas Passman - TZA Michael Witheblock - AUT William Lim - SK Offensive Line Lazlo Forty-Two - HUN Edmond Beaver-Dantes - KEN Brave Ulysses - UK Bruce Buckley - AUS Simon Tremblay - CAN DEFENSE Defensive Tackle Shane Masters - AUS Thorian Skarsgard - NOR Cuco Clemente - DOM Defensive End Fabrico Baldari - INT Steco Ocewilder - UK Ben Tu'inukuafe - NZ Linebacker Tyron Brackenridge - CAN Maurice Virtanen - FIN Tony Gabagool - CAN Mike Hockhertz - CAN Cornerback Dermot Lavelle Jr. - CAN Lucas Knight - MEX Mervin Leonard - CAN Safety Tyrone Biggums - CAN Prince Vegeta - CAN Awkward Sexjoke - CAN SPECIAL TEAMS Kicker Alex Dasistwirklichseinnachname - GER Punter Matther McDairmad - SCO Congratulations to all those players selected for Team World. Again, if you've been left off this list and you're an international player that has higher TPE than those listed, let me know. It's entirely possible that I made some mistakes with these lists, so if you spot one please advise. I also reserve the right to adjust these lists as I see fit to ensure the game simulates properly (the number of players at each position was made up on the fly based on... absolutely nothing) and to accurately reflect the nationality of the players involved. I look forward to preparing this game and presenting it to everyone for your viewing pleasure! Hopefully this even has potential to be a regular (every two-four seasons) event, or even a NSFL sanctioned official event! *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - AdamS - 05-11-2020 Team World got a shot here. *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - qWest - 05-11-2020 Great work here! I'm certain this took a ridiculous amount of time, so thank you for putting this together! Even if I am a bit sad to be knocked out of Team World by a child from a different, fictional planet (heck you Baby Yoda). *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - CLG Rampage - 05-11-2020 owens over me LUL *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - Thor - 05-11-2020 (05-11-2020, 05:38 PM)AdamS Wrote:Team World got a shot here.

Thanks, it was a bit of a timesink but all good fun discovering more and more international players as I went! Maybe it should have been called Team Universe...

I do think you should look at the index, though I know that's gonna suck, cause TPE isn't everything. Yeah I could potentially consider using that as an additional metric in the future, but for now I wanted a look at everyone disregarding team usage and the like, I know TPE isn't everything but in this case it was the easiest, simplest and least subjective comparative measuring stick in an topic that already demanded a significant amount of research in other areas. *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - sakrosankt - 05-11-2020 Oh cool, I have a Team World nomination, thanks! Awesome idea, I like it S22 WR class is very international, 4 nominations in Team World *USA vs The World: Rosters Announced - Matty7478 - 05-11-2020 Team world best world |
