21. Now thats three seasons on the new sim. What are your thoughts? Do you think that it is better than DDSPF16? +2.5 TPE
We are three seasons into the switch from DDSPF16 to 21 and to be honest I probably don’t know enough about this to judge on my own independent analysis. However, I have been listening to some of the experienced GMs and others who have more intimate knowledge of the sim and leaning on their assessment, I would definitely say that the switch was worth it.
I have two main reasons I think DDSPF21 is better.
Traits – I really think the addition of traits was a huge improvement. We only have so many stats and with the meta out there, it is tempting for everyone to follow the exact same logic and then all of our players end up looking exactly the same. With traits, there is at least some incentive to follow the meta of one of several different kinds of players within a position and we get a little differentiation in the league because of it.
I also think traits are a good addition as it gives incentive to improve some stats you might otherwise not think valuable in order to gain the clearly valuable trait that is built on top of those attributes.
Player Value – I didn’t really know what to call this, but what I mean is that it seems to the vets I spoke with that with the change in sim engine, every position benefits from a strong earner. There used to be more positions where if you were an average earner or a max earner, there just wasn’t that much difference in performance. With the new sim, even positions that were once considered TPE non-intensive seem to become very much more valuable if the user does earn above the average. That’s huge for me since I tend to earn well. I don’t want to “waste” that earning on a position that doesn’t benefit from it and that reduces my choices. Now I have a wider field of choice.
10. Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league. +5 TPE
Tobias Worthington III grew up in an upper middle class to lower tier wealthy family in Greenwich, Connecticut. In fact, his family is fairly prominent in the area with roots going back to the first free black families of the 1700s.
Education has always been prized in the Worthington family and all members of it are expected to do their best and even excel in academic pursuits. Tobias lived up to that expectation doing well enough in his early years to attend the exclusive Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut where he first began seriously playing football.
Both his academic and football success at Choate led to a full-ride scholarship offer from Yale University to play for the Bulldogs or Elis as they are often called. It is at Yale that Tobias Worthington III first began to be called by the nickname that has stuck with him in all walks of life – TB3.
TB3 began his Yale football days as a Wide Receiver, but he had experience on the defensive line from his time as a two-way player at Choate and the coaches quickly realized that if he combined his speed with the above average strength and ferocity he possessed, he would be much more valuable to the team as a speed rushing Defensive End. This suited TB3 just fine and he had always enjoyed menacing opposing Quarterbacks and making them think twice before they waited any longer for their targets to come open.
In his senior year, TB3 set Yale records for most sacks in a game (5) and most sacks in a season (17). He also notched a record for most tackles in a season with 140. TB3 also obliterated the record for most sacks in a career at Yale by taking out the opposing passer 40 times.
This success at Yale emboldened him to set his sights on the ISFL and entry through the DSFL junior developmental league. Tobias entered the waiver system late in the S30 season and was picked up by the Bondi Beach Buccaneers. He was supposed to play in games 11-14, but official eligibility papers got held up in red tape and he missed the opportunity to play in the first 2 games. TB3 got his first taste of the DSFL in game 13 vs. the powerhouse Minnesota Gray Ducks (12-1) and found out how high a level the DSFL played at. He had a solid game helping the Buccs stay close to the presumptive champions 27-21 after having lost to this same team in week 6 by a score of 38-14, but did not record a single tackle or sack.
This left TB3 aching to get on the board in the final game of the season to impress the scouts from the other DSFL team as he prepares to enter the junior league’s draft in the offseason.
