9) 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 got me started in the league was my love of football, both college and pro but considering I am a Lions and Michigan Wolverine fan my rooting options don't give me a lot of joy. When I saw there was a sim league for football I jumped at the chance to play. Going on my 10th season in the league what really keeps me going is the community, I have shared discord locker rooms with a lot of great people which has followed into other sim leagues. The game sim itself is kinda cool but the engine doesn't make sense sometimes and that kinda brings down the enjoyment factor a little bit. I do like the community, it's very active and there are a lot of friendly people. My favorite part of the league is the feel during playoff time, when your team is in the hunt the locker room has a totally different feel to it and everybody is hyped. I do like the archetypes, it means not every player in the league is the same cookie cutter build and now with the new player traits will make builds even better I think. I never had a job or even done a media in the league so I don't really have an experience with that although I will say that the updaters and the HO do a really good job. I do like the prospect bowl as well, this league is the only one that does something like that (that I can remember). I do think the site was really good graphics, and the player cards are really cool, I know the PBE also does it but I like the ISFL version a little bit better. One thing that annoys me is the stats index, for a defensive it's sometimes hard to find considering you can't find them one the team page you have to go track your name done on the league individual stats page. The fact the draft is livestreamed and have GMs and members of HO on it is really entertaining and I always try to watch because of it. I also enjoy the team names and locations, and I do like we have a couple of international teams. None of the other big sim leagues have a team in Berlin and it's not like it doesn't fit it brings me back to the good old NFL Europe days with the Berlin Fire. The ISFL got me hooked and I definitely plan on recreating when Kearse decides to retire.
