This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S26 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
Although I haven't been in the league incredibly long, I have really enjoyed all of the experiences I've had so far. The fact that GMs are going out of their way to reach out to me is really welcoming and made the transition from outsider to player really easy. I think the environment has also been a positive factor as well, I've gotten to take a glimpse into several of the locker rooms (so far not every team has reached out to me quite yet) and from what I can tell, each team has a really unique and inviting atmosphere about them. Every person I've talked to so far has also gone out of their way to help me out or invite questions if I have any and have even gone so far as to jump into discord chats to talk me through things when I am struggling. My buddies and I all joined at the same time, so we got to watch the prospect bowl together yesterday and it was crazy how much I could care about a little dot with a number 37 on it. I even have friends and siblings not in the sim league that watch the games and look for us, a few that are even considering making players for the next season. Although I also haven't been drafted yet, I feel like it's going to be exciting to finally find out which locker room will be mine and which team will be the one I root for. It's nice to not have any preferences so far, as all the GMs have made it abundantly clear I would be welcome if I join their squad. I have been working pretty non-stop on gaining as much TPE as I can these last few days, and the locker rooms have been a great source for opportunities. I am also a huge fan of the idea of getting a "league job" as well. Both for gaining extra money for equipment, but also as an opportunity to become more involved in the league. I would love to try to GM at some point during my time playing in the sim league. As for suggestions, I think you guys are doing a fantastic job trying to make this easy and accessible so I don't have any recommendations other than getting yourself out there a little more. I definitely would have joined sooner had I known this league existed before this season! Keep doing what you're doing!
What is it that keeps you interested in the league? Is it your love of dot football, the community, a specific job or role you play, or something else? What do you like most about it? What could be improved?
What keeps me interested is the fact that this league fits a perfect niche for me. I am a huge football fan (Go Vikes! Skol!) and an avid DND player as well, so the numbers, the backstory, the character generation is all something I am not only used to, but also very much so enjoy. I spent an inordinate amount of time working on my player, even going so far as making it so that my player has an in universe twin (here is to hoping we can play together at some point during our careers!). I also really enjoy the community around the sim league, it's made for a really easy integration into the league. The GMs and scouts reaching out, as well as the willingness of all of the people (even ones that are not rookie mentors) to help out whenever needed, I remember specifically asking questions about my TPE distribution and I had about eleven people reach out to help me out almost instantly. I really like developing my character as well, both through TPE/Point tasks, as well as developing a backstory for them through the point tasks and my wiki. I like the idea of getting a "league job" as well to become more involved as well as get more cash. I think its a great idea to introduce because it makes it much easier for people to make an impact in the league even if their player performs subpar in simulation. The league definitely benefits both casual players and players that plan on putting in a lot of effort like I plan to do. You can work hard and become an elite player, or you can enjoy the ride and gain TPE as needed which might work for others. I know that just through my discussions with friends that I have a few more people already interested in joining when the next opportunity presents itself. I think having the weekly games is almost like real Sunday football, so I can sit down and watch and enjoy when the games come on. As far as what could be improved, the only thing I can think of is getting out there more! I had only heard of this through Reddit this year, had I known earlier I would have gotten involved then! I'm having an absolute blast so far, and I would be willing to help find an avenue for you guys to get more players.
