WHAT I WANT ADDED:
I like tons of things about this league. I think the big thing that keeps me coming back is the sense of community, a non-ridiculous HO, and the streams. I think those are our three biggest strengths and things that we should be capitalizing on. For the sense of community I think we should be doing more community events... I try to do things for the NOLA LR but league-wide things would go a long way as well. We should get the forums back to being more of a focal point for the league as well, rather than discord. I like the "new" HO a lot and while obviously there are some hiccups and maybe a few things I don't necessarily agree with them on, I think they do a fantastic job at being transparent (generally) and easily accessible. After seeing in other leagues what a bad, inaccessible, holier-than-thou, overly strict HOs look like, I have come to be very grateful for the one here. Finally, our streams are our biggest strength, and we should be doing all that we can to make them front and center. I think that means making them easily accessible on the forum and UPLOADING TO YOUTUBE. Why hasn't that happened yet? We should make that happen. Shoot, once I'm done with school I'll make it happen.
WHAT I WANT REMOVED:
Alright so here's something spicey: I think we should do DL bots. Someone (I think it was hendrix) did an article about it and the league has a DL problem. There aren't a lot of current DLs and there aren't a lot of creating DLs. DLs don't get a lot of stats and (even though I loved playing as a DL) lots of people don't enjoy playing DL because of the lack of stats and because they max out pretty early and get bored.
This also helps with what I think is a much bigger problem, and that's having enough active users that teams can fill out their rosters. We as a league are about to hit a very critical moment: When the S1 and S2 inactives start regressing and being auto-retired. I think many teams will start having lots of trouble fielding a full team. If we let teams do DL bots, that's 4 less positions that need to be filled. People can obviously still play DL if they want, it's a fun position. But this would help immensely with the approaching problem of teams having a hard time filling their rosters. I'll probably do a longer article about this at some point breaking it down.
WHAT I LIKE:
Surprise, all of my answers kinda blend together. Sorry not sorry. I can talk a lot about this league. What I like and what our opportunities for improvement are. Because there's lots of them. I honestly love this league a lot. It was my first sim league and I have a very very hard time imagining any other leagues holding a candle to it. I want to see it succeed, and to do that there has to be some growth. Nothing huge, but some tweaks here and there. Our biggest hurdle is going to be what happens when all those inactives start regressing and auto-retiring, and how many of the S1 and S2 people will recreate. We may have some trouble on our hands, but I have lots of faith in this league and think it'll be fine as long as we prepare adequately for it.
