If there is anything that we can all agree on, it is that the sim is always cruel and makes zero sense. Most arguments that go beyond that to explain the problems with the sim result in some vitriolic shouting matches between those that experience the sim and those that have worked on the sim from the ISFL side. Regardless, there are always problems despite the work being done because the sim is stupid. The biggest hot take that I can give is that there are metas even in the new sim. It has been a hot button topic whenever I bring it up, but most users agree that there is definitely a boost to certain archetypes or builds compared to others because the sim at the end of the day is a game. The evidence I have for this this season does not need to go further than with the quarterbacks. Currently, the only quarterback archetypes that seem to do well in the sim are Field General and Pocket Passer with most All-Pro or awards favoring those that follow the meta. Since the switch, you can count on your hand the amount of users that have stuck outside the grain to find any success. Given that the sim favors these two archetypes’ builds, it seems that through this season and for the foreseeable future that experimental users might be left in the dust.
