4. It’s that time in the offseason where we review all the great games and the ones we wish we could forget, if I were to resimulate a game, it would be Week 2 on the road against the Yellowknife wraiths. Originally, we were leading them by a single score and then the wraiths blew open the game with roughly five minutes left in the fourth quarter, but in this alternative timeline, cooter Bigsby gets sacked by Ryan Leaf Jr, Cooter also loses the ball that is scooped up by Leaf and returned 7 yards for a touchdown, the true horror was going to be realized, the Wraiths were down 2 scores against the worst team in the league! How would this affect the remaining part of the season, the Wraiths would still get a first round bye off of a head to head tie breaker over the hawks and yeti, while the otters pick up a home Ultimus advantage because of a better record than the Yellowknife wraiths. The playoffs are very similar except it’s the otters that lose at home during the Ultimus, 30-27 by a last second touchdown by Nate Swift, while the Wraiths end the otter dynasty waiting to happen
5. The Chicago Butchers are a team in a process of a rebuild, in which it would be time to replace aging players with the youth of tomorrow, who could one day bring the city of Chicago what it was dreaming of since it got a football team, capturing the league championship. The biggest need of the team is on defense, you don’t want to leave players like Leaf alone on a defense! It will be burnt like a paper in a fire pit. Defensive line is obviously a key position, an extra DT or DE can easily propel the team’s value back onto the class of the league. Next up is linebackers, both of these went inactive so we are forced to use the draft and even free agency to fill these holes out, most likely by the usage of the prospect draft. Cornerback is another piece that butchers need to fill out, with once again, inactives are becoming a stinger to Chicago’s plan to contend with the rest of the National Simulation Football League. Runningback is becoming something of an issue for the team, with the inactivity bug, once again striking the team, and forcing the team to figure out who could fill out the spot on the team.
6. Starting a team from scratch is not a very easy task, I’ve been through it like Chicago and Norfolk, two processes that need different pieces of attention, and a lot of patience, to build a power team that can contend for many years to come. The first thing you need to do, is to draft a few young but active players, to help you out, I’d recommend getting a young QB, a Running back, and a Linebacker to start off your process of building a long lasting contender, you’re off to a fantastic start if you’re able to get a couple good pieces off of waivers. You’re ready to to start contending, so start trading weaker assets for new picks, elite talent, and even a co-gm if you need one, because you don’t want to do this alone, it’ll make the process longer by a couple of seasons and could limit your contention window. Now you’re ready, begin sim testing to convince free agents to sign with your team, and give them bonuses to make your players have incentives to gain TPE and help your team grow and dominate the league, because you’re learning how to run a team the VALOR way.
7. This year, the National Simulation Football League has revealed something straight out of hockey, the dreaded penalty box! Players better not draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty or they’ll be locked in the box for 2 minutes, or even 5 minutes if they try to start a fight with someone who wants to fight! The first known player who would likely go in the box is Sunnycursed, who is known to have a mouth filled dirt, and frequently talks crap to refs throughout the game, and will earn his way to a one way ticket to the penalty box, which would mean a possible punishment from the league itself! The next player who will find his way to the box is Ryan Leaf Jr, who despite being one of the more friendly guys in the league, can find himself in hot water while pushing over offensive linemen, he can find himself in the box for 2 minutes for roughing, 5 minutes if he did that against an opposing a quarterback! The last player who will find his way into the box is Corvo Havran, for bringing a phone to the game and watching anime in the middle of a game, not only getting fined, but boxed!
