Maybe two, rest is at least on a serviceable level and with easy position switch rules, it's guaranteed to stay on this high level. Sorry for intruding, but I'm starting to defend a point that good defensive back doesn't need to amass stats and simply does his job preventing downs/TDs against another team, which current metrics hardly focus on.
Anyway, questions from me:
1) Are you happy with your choice to pursue CB career or would you change it from the time perspective?
2) Did you already plan your recreate? At least do you plan to change the side of the ball this time?
3) Can you ELI5 how are you S2 regression class despite playing most of S1 and is there any correlation to that fact with your record TPE?
Yeah I am, I know the CB spot gets alot of flak but for as many awful game losing moments there's game sealing ints or pick 6's to make up for it.
I have not planned my recreate in terms of position, name , time or anything else.
Originally the S1 draft happened some time around the end of May, think it was the last week. I seen the post on r/cardinals or r/nfl or even r/madden. I clicked onto the site for about 5 mins and felt it was too much work to jump into. Then about a week later (June 1st/2nd?) I joined and created a player and to my dismay I had missed the draft and thought that I'd have to sit out a year or something? Back then however there was no feeder league, if you joined after the draft you were put onto the "waivers" similar to what now happens in the DSFL. I was the first ever waiver player and Yellowknife picked me up and I played all of S1 and got drafted in the following S2 Draft. The reason for this mechanic was if players joined late then you had to keep them active somehow, if I joined and was told you're not going to be in a game for the next month or you're not allowed to make your player better for a month, I would've left the site and never looked back. As would many in that situation.
Regarding the TPE, of course it was padded by that "extra season". At the height of my player prior to regression I hit 1365 TPE, the next closest to that would be TC who hit somewhere around 1180 I believe. In the time before I regressed I think I missed a max of 7tpe (from a week of AC and WT I missed) and 2/3 tpe from predictions (ironically I was the simmer and forgot to predict them at the time) throughout my entire career (not counting TPE lost from milestones performance or w/e). Realistically I would've been around TC's total TPE number if you take away the "extra season" give or take a few TPE.
I don't know if you actually know the story about waivers/S1-S3 ish but that's my best way of explaining it.
