I think that the new changes the sim brings are positive and much needed changes to the league. However, I think the transition will be rougher than some might think. Besides simply the logistics of adapting all the players to the new sim, adjusting stats and switching archetypes, I believe there will be some users, general managers in particular, that will be upset at the ambiguity towards strategy that the new sim presents. Although currently guides are being created and information will be released that gives everyone more knowledge on different strategies, such as formations and target distribution in passing plays, the supposed lack of sim testing that will exist in the new sim will surely frustrate users that are accustomed to seeing hard data such as percentage increases and decreases as they adjust their strategies. Whether there will actually not be any sim testing will be hard to know for sure, but I can see ISFL GM's trying to find a way to test with all their might. I am excited to see the old strategies be laid to rest from the old sim. Speed will still be greatly important I'm sure, but I trust the transition team and their passion to create a variety of archetypes that will all be close to equally impactful in the new sim. In addition, getting rid of the 79 speed bug is a great blessing. I would love to be confident that such exploits won't exist in the new sim, but I'm sure in time someone will dive into the code and discover something that wasn't noticed by developers. In the meantime though, it will be a nice golden patch of time where just about everyone is on an even playing field when it comes to build knowledge. This includes the addition of traits which, hearing from those who tested the new sim, are difficult to discern as being better than raw stat increases.
