T2 10) Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season?
Man, this season was a huge one for my player, Taro Raimon. Coming into the season, Raimon was promoted to WR2 as Saba Donut heads into his twilight years. He started his first game with an extremely strong 128 reception yard game coupled with a TD in a 45-42 thriller against the Otters. This was the start of a breakout year for him. By the end of Week 4/5. Raimon has already surpassed his total reception yards from the previous season as a WR3. At this point of time, people started recognizing Raimon's skills and started to pick him up for their fantasy team. In the pre-season, only 1-2 users picked him up but slowly, more and more people picked him and he ended up with I believe to be at least top 7 most picked wide receiver. Week 8 was also another strong performance for Raimon with 133 reception yards and 1 TD in 5 catches. In the last regular season game for the Outlaws, Raimon ended his crazy season with yet another brilliant performance. He got 127 reception yards and 2 TDs to comeback against the Second Lines. In the end, Raimon ranks among wide receivers with the 6th highest reception yards and 2nd most touchdowns. Part of why Raimon has such a great season is because the AZ quarterback, Jay Cue, has also had a MVP-type season. He ended his season with the highest QB rating among other QBs and the Outlaws had arguably the best offense as well. Unfortunately, the Outlaws didn't make the playoffs as the ASFC ended with a 5-way tie for 1st. We got the short-end of the stick in the tiebreaker rules and were placed 5th in the division. The Outlaws had a pretty weak defense performance and coupled with some very unlucky losses, we could've made it in another universe. Now heading into the next season. Raimon has re-signed with the Outlaws and one of the contract clause was that he was to be WR1. The Outlaws will also be using their rookie QB, Charlemagne Cortez, and parting ways with Jay Cue. Now, I do not expect my player to have the same performance as I thought my player definitely overperformed plus with a different inexperienced QB. But I am definitely looking forward to see what Taro Raimon can bring next season and hopefully the Outlaws can get back to the playoffs. I'm also definitely looking forward to the award season this year and hopefully I win Breakout Player of the Year as well as possibly making the Pro Bowl squad.
T3 18) Write about another sim league you are in and which parts of it you enjoy. If you are only in the ISFL, write about your ideas for a sim league with another sport.
My first sim league epxerience wasn't ISFL. I'm a baseball fan and I joined the Pro Baseball experience prior to joining ISFL. I really enjoyed my time in the PBE. The team that drafted me, the Death Valley Scorpions have one of the best people to hang out with and probably one of the best locker-rooms in the league. The sim engine is also a huge plus. I always like OOTP and when I compare it to the other engines like Draft Day Pro Sports, is miles better with much more functions. I always like to see my player's career stats on a page and OOTP's Index is probably the best of all sim engines that I have seen so far. I always enjoy the community as well. They have many community events playing other games like Skribblio and Aomung US where we can meet other people from other teams. The one I like the most is PBEO. It is a side group of users from the PBE that holds their own league where we do use OOTP traditionally and use their online league function to GM our own team in-game. I spend a lot of my team there and is probably my favourite aspect of PBE so far. All in all, both PBE and ISFL are great and hope both leagues prosper!
T3 20) Pretend injuries are a thing in the ISFL and your team has had a lot of them lately – so many that your GM has asked you to play out of position. What position are they asking you to play and what about your player build will help you succeed in this role?
Oh man, everyone on the entire Arizona Outlaw squad tested positive for COVID except for Taro Raimon, And now the GM is forced to bring up some newbies to help fill the squad to ensure the team is playable for next week's game day. The dilemma is, there are too many wide receivers from their depth and not enough players in other positions. The GM and the coach asked me that since I'm the only player with major league experience to switch to another position that I am most comfortable with. Now I'm only 6'2 and only weight around 200 pounds, I will not play any defensive role at all. People will just blow past me and I will not be able to stop anyone at all. Offensive line as well, I bet the QB would be even more built than me and he would be able to protect himself better. Kicking and Punting is also out of the question since I never tried kicking, I'll just miss! The best role is probably Running Back. I'm already a fast runner with high speed and I have great agility. I bet I can get by the defense with my running ability. The only problem is being able to protect the ball which I might be below average. So yea, I will definitely switch to running-back.
