(S46) Offseason Task

[Tesla]

Task 7 - 600+ Words - 10 TPE

Hello and good time appropriate greeting once again dear member of the player progression team. I come to you ready to fill out my last off-season task to benefit my player Cross-Eriksen and as I have the last several seasons I am going to go with a retrospective comparing my player to her predecessors Matt Cross and Wesley Eriksen. Given I already covered their stats through certain seasons this time around I am going to compare her totals after this her penultimate season, and then go through to list all of the top seasons that the trio has had across the different statistics. Hopefully you find this even the tiniest bit interesting, but if not I will settle for it hopefully being easy for you to grade.

Now this past season saw Cross-Eriksen's worst performance as a tackler with just 42 tackles on the season good for the worst result in her career. It did however add one to her tackles for loss total though to bring her up to five and allow her to pass Wesley for the career total of the trio with five to his four. No forced fumbles or fumble recoveries though so she remains tied with Matt at 11 forced fumbles and her lead of 7 fumble recoveries to both Matt and Wesley's 4 remains the same. She had two sacks which is pretty good for her, but still leaves her third of the trio behind Matt's 30 and Wesley's 34. She phenomenally added four interceptions to put her career total up to 38 a full dozen more than Matt's second best at 26. Eleven extra passes defended puts her total to 113 ahead of Wesley's 96 and Matt' 81 by good margin. The only other stat that changed is Cross-Eriksen's game played total going up by 16 to bring her lead to 192 compared to 157 at the safety position for Matt and Wesley. Given she has 35 extra games played it makes sense she ended up with more stats in a few departments, but it does not reduce my joy at her being able to live up to the expectations they set.

Now first stat of the day is tackles cause it is the first in index and my girl Cross-Eriksen does not show up until seventh place so that is the list I will provide. Back in S24 Wesley set the record at 133 in sixteen games breaking Matt's S23 performance of 119 which is second place. Those are the only two times the trio hit triple digits, although Matt came close in S25 with 97. That is the podium followed by 87 for Wesley in S25, 84 for Wesley in S23 and Matt in S28, and finally 82 for Cross-Eriksen in S36.

Tackles for loss is far more boring by comparison as Wesley's S24 performance where he got 3 is the high mark with none of their other seasons hitting 2 or better. Funnily despite having the best season Wesley only had one other season with a tackle for loss, Matt had three such seasons, and Cross-Eriksen is up to five such seasons. That is two stats for Wesley.

Forced fumbles is where Cross-Eriksen finally takes a gold with her S40 performance at 4 being tops for the trio. This is followed by a seven way tie for second at two with Matt hitting the total in S22, S23, S27, and S29, Wesley hitting the total in S22, and Cross-Eriksen hitting the total in S34 and S39.

We have our first tie with fumble recoveries as Matt set the record in S24 with 2 and Cross-Eriksen tied the record in S35. Matt had two more seasons with 1 fumble recovery, Wesley had four single recovery seasons, and Cross-Eriksen comes in with five to give her the lead. After that I will say Matt has half, Wesley has two, and Cross-Eriksen has one and a half.

Sacks see Wesley dominate with first place in S25 at 8, second place in S29 with 7, and tying for fourth place with 5 in S23, and S30. Matt comes in third with 6 in S25, and also is in the logjam for fourth place with 5 in S26. Cross-Eriksen meanwhile adds another to the logjam with 5 in S43 to be the seventh season of the trio to hit 5 or more sacks.

Interceptions we have an interesting tie as Wesley had 5 interceptions back in S30 good for the crown, but Cross-Eriksen hit the total twice both in S39 and S40. She also holds fourth and fifth place alone with 4 in S43 and S45. Matt meanwhile comes in with a ton of 3 pick seasons as his best reaching that total in S23, S24, S27, S28, S30, and S31. Wesley is up to three and a half, Cross-Eriksen climbs to two, and Matt is on the board with a half in terms of top finishes.

Now when it comes to passes defended there is an asterisk and so I am disqualifying the top season because this is my point task. In S26 Wesley had 27 passes defended, however he was playing cornerback that season not safety and for this superb safety trio that gets the stat disqualified. So we give it to Cross-Eriksen's 18 in S39, followed by her 15 in S40. Amusingly enough Matt, Wesley, and Cross-Eriksen then all have a 13 passes defended season with Matt and Wesley's both coming in S31 and Cross-Eriksen's coming in S43. I just think it neat that Matt and Wesley's peak in passes defended as safeties came in the same season.

The sole safety scored by one of the trio was Wesley's in S29 and I do believe that gives him the win in terms of top tier statistical performances.

Now we have one last tie as Matt hit 2 defensive touchdowns in S31 and Cross-Eriksen matched that total in both S39 and S40. Matt had a defensive touchdown in S28 and S29, Wesley managed it in S23, S27, S28, S29, and S31, and finally Cross-Eriksen managed it in S35, S38, S43, and S44. This leads to the final tally being Wesley leading in four and a half statistics, Cross-Eriksen leading in three and a half statistics, and Matt leading in one statistic. Overall not too bad for the trio I would say.

Ultimately I would just like to say I really enjoyed doing this deep dive into the history of my player and her predecessors. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I hope you have a nice day!

13. Choose a team or player to write about that isn’t your own. What did they do well in the last season? Have they shown any drastic improvements from previous years? What could they do better?



This season, Eliot Bukowski entered his third year in the league. Ideally, OCO expected him to continue the development of his leg and skill sets. They asked quite a lot of Bukowski this season, as he attempted 9 more field goals than the previous year, which was his previous career high. It appears that this pushed him to his limits, as his field goal accuracy was at a career low, at only 81.6% on 38 attempts. The biggest contributor of this was between 40-49 yards, where he missed 4/12. Looking at his 50+ yard attempts, his accuracy improved from 57% to 80%, but it’s important to note that this was on 2 fewer attempts. Overall though I think this gives us insight on Eliot’s future. He’s definitely the guy in OCO, and he shows selective improvement. 81.6% is about mid-range for kickers in the league, so if this is what Eliot looks like when he’s in an off-year, he has a high upside as he gets closer to the peak of his career.

I can’t talk about kicking in Season 45 without mentioning Wing Wang. The average kicker hater would look at Wang’s stats and say, “he went 5/13 on kicks over 50 yards, what’s so impressive about that?” But they’re missing out on the bigger picture. Going 45 for 54 on field goals, Wang broke both the records for field goals made and field goals attempted in a single season! The previous record for field goals made was held by Stephen Harris in S7, who went 42 for 42, an incredible accomplishment of accuracy and consistency. The previous record for field goal attempts was held by Jacob Small with 49. Wing Wang is the first kicker in league history to attempt over 50 kicks in a season. While he should still work on his long distance kicks, his performance last season will be remembered for a long time, and it’s one he should be proud of. All eyes are on Wang entering Season 42 to see if he can continue this insane pace.

11. 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.

Klaus stepped off the plane and was hit with a cool, refreshing breeze. He took a deep breath, and as he exhaled his breath stood still momentarily in the air in front of him. Klaus, donned in a heavy wool trench coat over his typical suit and tie, was used to the cold, and quite fond of it. From living in Germany, New York and Norfolk, he had experienced his fair share of freezing winters. Now, as he steps foot in Colorado for the first time, he pauses to reminisce on the path his life has taken to this moment. “Two years in Norfolk gone so fast,” Klaus declares to himself. During his tenure with the Seawolves, the team struggled greatly. But Klaus never let this discourage him, knowing that his own individual efforts would compile and lead him to become stronger and more dependable in his position. He was proud of his time spent in Norfolk, proud of his two Pro-Bowl and All-Pro team selections, proud of his 124 pancakes, but this was just the first step for Klaus. And as he got off that plane and entered Colorado, he took one more.

Last season, Colorado exceeded all expectations placed on them as they claimed the top spot in the NSFC, but they still had their fair share of struggles on offense. QB Wolfie McDummy Jr. was sacked constantly, and the Colorado O-line had the second fewest pancakes in the league. Despite being a rookie entering the league, Klaus’ natural talents were noticeably greater than the other members of the line. Because of this, he knew that he’d be thrust into a leadership position quite early on to shape up the team’s O-line. Klaus firmly believes that a team’s offense starts at their line, so he takes his role very seriously and is prepared to do whatever it takes to help this team’s offense get back on track.

With his ISFL debut just days away, Klaus embraces his future on this brisk winter evening.

10. Through a random lottery drawing, you have been named the league's new commissioner for a day. Congrats! What improvements would you make to the league if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?

As commissioner for the day, my first task would be to direct the sim balance team to look at how position skill. This would be to get an idea as to whether something like a cash purchase for position skill would be something that could be viable. Why? Well once you've built up a bit of a balance there's not a whole lot you can do with it. Sure, you can gamble it but if that's not for you there really isn't a whole lot to do. Purchasing position skill like a cornerback deciding to purchase positional skill as a safety could create a more flexible/unique player while also providing something you can spend your league cash on.

Next order of business would be commission the All Pro team to go back and complete All Pro teams for Season 1 to Season 27. As far as I'm aware there hasn't been any All Pros done retrospectively for those seasons. If you happen to have had a player in that period, particularly if your career was before All Pros were a thing, it's not really a great comparison when comparing accolades seeing how some players may not have had their best season recognised with an All Pro selection since that seems to be something that is held in a higher regard than a Pro Bowl.

Offseason tasks while not all that time consuming, perhaps might be a little repetitive after a while. Aside for earning some easy TPE, it can be a bit of drag when writing isn't your forte. While some graphic tasks are available, the TPE versus the payout you may possibly get if you submit it for grading doesn't seem that favourable. So with that in mind I would propose two options, an OT Pass that can be purchased or doubling the amount of TPE that you earn for each Tier. Instead of a maximum of 10 TPE, you could earn a maximum of 20 TPE while doing the same number of tasks.

28. Football is a game that has been going on for a while, loved by fans all over. But what if you were able to make some rule changes? Talk us through your new version of football, and what would be different and why? (Written Task)

Since this is sim football and there's really not physical toll exhibited when playing thanks to the injuries being turned off, I'd like a return to fair catches and touchbacks being brought to 20 yard. This would be to incentivise more kickoff returns and make something like a return specialist more of a factor as an archetype. Gone are the days of DDPF16 when 1,000 kickoff return yards were a thing and the possibility of chasing the kickoff return yard record, however slim was at least something that was theoretically possible. Selfishly I'd make the change since I primarily want to create a player that could make a difference in that department. While there's a bit of a advantage for a return specialist, it really isn't sufficient volume or opportunity to really make use of it so I'm all for a return to bring fair catches and touchbacks to the 20 yard line in hopes of getting more kick returns. Not a major overhaul of the game's rules, just a tweak back to encourage more kick returns.

23. What are your thoughts on the sim engine? What sort of improvements would you make to the sim engine if given the opportunity? (Written Task)

Changes to the sim? Well let's start with the logic around the final two minutes of the game. You see some strange things which you could fall under the catchall term of poor clock management. More logic around the play calling aggressiveness would also be nice. It's all fine and well to want aggressive play calling but sometimes it might cross that mark into insanity. I'm talking about going for it on 4th and 8 inside your own 40 yard line, early in the first quarter with the scores tied at nil all.

Suppose something else that might be worth a change is to align the standings with the playoff result tiebreakers. As we saw this past season and back in Season 26, when a bunch of teams are tied, the playoff picture and standings don't matchup. This can cause a bit of confusion since they really should match and naturally some questions arise as to what and why things are the way that they are. So if I had the ability, I'd look at tidying that up.

Option 1 Pls)
The Austin Copperheads have won the Ultimus. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill. Shelter in place and await further instructions, this is not a drill. You will not be seeing a Honolulu, Arizona, or Baltimore nameplate across the top of the webpage, it’s going to be the snakes! Let’s take a look at how they’ve gone and done it.

Austin just barely snuck into the playoffs, with a record of 9-7 on the season, which was tied for second in the ASFC, and just one game ahead of fourth and fifth place on the year. The Orange County Otters and New York Silverbacks were lurking at 8-8 come season's end. The Copperheads had an impressive set of victories in the final stretch of the season, winning 3 out of their last 4, including a week 13 home win against the Silverbacks 24-23, and a week 16 away win against the Otters 34-31. Across the regular season the Copperheads split their games with the Otters 1-1, but went undefeated against New York at 2-0, cementing their playoff berth by the narrowest of margins. Finding 2 wins against the likes of both San Jose and New Orleans was also crucial, as New York dropped a game against the Secondline in Week 14, and Orange County lost badly to the Sabercats 29-6 in Week 1.

In the regular season, Austin was led by QB Jay Cue III, who in 16 games tallied 4536 yards, 31 TDs, 11 INTs, and a league leading passer rating of 98.1. RB Howard Coward led the snakes from the backfield, eclipsing 1000+ yards on the year with 1273 rushing yards, 13 rush TDs, while also adding on 464 receiving yards and 5 receiving TDs, for a total of 1737 yards and 18 TDs from scrimmage for the 5th year running back. In the receiving corp, 9th year veteran WR Delores Bickerman led the league in receiving yards with 1527 yards, to go along with 5 receiving TDs. WR Zaphod Beeblebrox also just reached 1000 yards on the season with 1099 yards, as well as a Tied 5th best 10 receiving TD’s on the year.

In order to secure their postseason berth, the Copperheads won two crucial games down the stretch against the New York Silverbacks and Orange County Otters in Weeks 13 and 16 respectively. In their Week 13 matchup against New York, Austin trailed for much of the game, only retaking the lead at the very end of the third quarter to surmount a 10 point halftime deficit to make the score 24-20. In the fourth quarter, the Copperheads would hang on by the skin of their teeth, holding New York to a single field goal as the final score came to 24-23, making for a critical division win against an opponent who was ahead of them at the time with a record of 7-5, compared to Austin’s 6-6 heading into the week. The Silverbacks would only win 1 of their final three games in a late season skid that saw them narrowly losing their playoff spot to Austin. In the final week of the season, the Copperheads found themselves up against a surging 8-7 Orange County Otters team who had won 3 games straight including a dominant 31-0 shellacking of divisional rival Arizona two weeks prior. Once again, Austin trailed for much of the game,  heading into the fourth quarter down 12-21, and finding themselves down 13-24 with only 2:12 left in the game. It looked as if the Copperheads playoff ambitions were slipping through their fingertips, but miraculously, Austin scored 14 points in just 17 seconds, turning a 13-24 deficit into a 27-24 lead with 1:28 left on the game clock, in part thanks to a terribly costly Otters fumble which led to a 49 yard TD pass from QB Cue III to WR Beeblebrox. Orange County completely collapsed with the ball in their hands, and got sacked for a loss of 10 yards on what was already a 4th and 15 for a turnover of downs, giving the ball back to the snakes on the 7 yard line with 55 seconds left! The Copperheads quickly punched the ball in to make the score 34-24, and good thing too, because the Otters were able to cobble together a TD drive of their own with only 50 seconds left, but the final score of 34-31 in favor of Austin meant that the Copperheads were heading to the playoffs.

In the Divisional round, Austin faced their fellow 9-7 team in the Arizona Outlaws. Unfortunately for Arizona, and fortunately for Austin, the Copperheads took care of business to the tune of a 41-19 win. Ausin was carried by 5 TDs from their backfield, including 115 yards and 3 TDs from RB Howard Coward, and 14 yards and 2 TDs from rookie RB Sean Aldrich. In the ASFCCG, Austin faced the titans of the ASFC, the seemingly untouchable 11-5 Honolulu Hahalua, and their league leading scoring offense. The game was close in the first half, with the manta rays heading into halftime with a 21-14 lead. In the third quarter however, the Copperhead blew the game wide open, scoring three unanswered TDs to bring the score to 35-28. Austin didn’t look back, and despite two TDs scored late by the Hahalua, they comfortably won the game 42-35 to send themselves to the Ultimus. Awaiting them was another 9-7 upstart in the Sarasota Sailfish. This game was another nail biter for the snakes, and they sent the game to overtime with a late game TD drive from QB Cue III to tie the game at 31-31. A final FG sealed the win for the Copperheads in overtime, and Austin would become the S45 Ultimus Champions.

While Outlaw was expecting to venture in to the big leagues of the isfl in season 45 he was a little peeved that he had a stick one more season in the dsfl nothing against the team he just thought it was time but he didn't let that stop him from performing at the high level and solidifying himself as one of the greatest defensive players in dsfl history. he ended up going close to his all-time high records for seasons having another remarkable outing posting 112 tackles 13 sacks 6 Force fumbles which was a career high and even also setting a new career high of two interceptions. Outlaw helped on the absolutely stacked Tijuana defense that obliterated the rest of the dsfl finishing with a 13 and 1 record along with another championship. Now outlaw is forced to go to the isfl and become a member of The Outlaws as his eligibility for the dsfl has expired we will see if his greatness in the dsfl can continue on with the big dogs of the league.
But the question Still Remains where does Outlaw rank as far as the greatest of all time Throughout the course of his dsfl career Outlaw has been an immediate big time player and made an enormous impact each time. Exerp: I am currently using the current index to look at these stats so we will see how this goes I don't know if it's missing past information from older indexes so we will find out. after Seasons down in the dsfl outlaw has solidified himself as an absolute Force. he ranks number one all time with 468 tackles shattering the record by 70. the previous record from 2053 of 45 sacks was also broken we're Outlaws now ranked number one with 52, Outlet hide the force fumbles record in a career with 17 ranks fourth all time and fumbles recovered and as an ironic as a stat it may be is number one in fumble return yards with a 44 record beating the previous record of 43 that was set in the same season. Outlaw also holds the record for tackles for loss in a career that was previously at 50 and has been in place for over 10 seasons to set the new record of 57. Outlaw ends his dsfl career with three championships, A Defensive Rookie of the Year award multiple time defensive All-Star and First Team all defense as well as Defensive Player of the Year Awards. it's definitely up for the debate if Outlaw is one of the best if not the best linebacker in dsfl history are they maybe you can decide. but it still goes to see if all of that can translate into the isfl where he'll continue the rest of his career.
If I had to look forward in the future seasons honestly Outlaw has already performed more than I expected them to, I really didn't think that they would end up being a big Force of a player with the first time going into the isfl for outlaw my main goal is just to be consistent if I had to put an expectation I'm hoping for maybe we'll say 50 to 75 tackles but my main priority is to not have a lot of Miss tackles cuz I feel that that is a very big factor in the league and wanting to be an all pro linebacker I want to be able to tackle anybody that comes my way and I think that's the best way to do it. I will be on a great team with Arizona and definitely thank all the GMS for the time in Tijuana for bringing me on to just a greatly run team and letting me stick out the whole dsfl career and hoping that it can translate well into the isfl. obviously I'm sure winning the Defensive Rookie of the Year award would be ideal I'm not really going crazy to push for it but if it happens it happens and we'll just see where it goes I'm more worried and making sure the team does good than myself.

My draft class is pretty amazing. It was pretty humorously filled with some of the tropes that we come to expect - returning users seem to have an edge up on first gen users, which only leads to the opportunity to snatch real draft steels late. The fascinating thing with this excellent class of 46 is it is so damn diverse. It has everything you could possibly want from a draft class - High earners in every position imaginable. There really should be no excuse for not doing well this draft as there is an excellent player in any position imaginable. Now, I expect out of this class there should be a good 10 players who will have legitimate HoF shots which I think is much higher than normal.. I feel like we induct roughly 3-4 players per class so this is primed to absolutely blow them away.
One interesting competition from the draft is going to be watching the elite running backs preform over their career. We have 3 high octane running backs in Purdy Mediocre, Corey Trevor, and Scorch von Turbo and scorch even has already started their trophy collection with the MVP in the DSFL in their rookie season no less. These three backs are primed to take the ISFL by storm over the next few seasons and should be high fantasy pick standards for years to follow.
Another interesting competition from the S46 class to look at is kickers. We boast 3 very high earning kickers with Hearty Harry, Wynn Jenkins, and Jack Sloth. Sloth is Accurate, Harry is Cover and Jenkins is Power, so it will be very neat to watch how their careers start to play out, if any one of these specific styles is much better than the other. As of writing it seems Jack Sloth is pulling slightly away from the rest, but it will be very interesting to watch how that plays out of the field. Will there be a noticeable difference between the three of them in percentage or average punt distance? what about run backs, will they be able to deliver punts without much opportunity for a run back?
One last competition that I want to touch on is the highly contested position of Offensive Line. Now S46 does only boast the 1 OL in Octavio Volarus, and he is the Athlete archetype which after reading on some Fantasy Media might lead one to believe they are worse,but it this authors belief that while mauler gets more stats, Athlete gives so many off paper benefits and helps support teams better, so tpe for tpe this is the best archetype. Coming into the draft at just under 200 tpe it will be quite interesting to see how Volarus preforms over his career. If he finds success that he yearns for, if he gets to that fantasy relevance that so many people associate with success.

Tier 1: Task 7

As I rack up more seasons in the DSFL/ISFL, I've been able to spend a bit more time reflecting on my experience both as an individual contributor and as part of a team (both in terms of my player and me as part of the discord community) and think about what motivates me as a user.  Something I've recently become more interested in is the league cash/TPE system, and the various generation methods that exist.  In previous OTs I've offered some thoughts on alternative generation methods, most recently bringing up the prospect of utilizing player roleplaying as an additional means of accruing league cash and/or TPE, but after a few months of reflection, I've become keenly aware of one of the major drawbacks to this idea - time.  Although I don't have a strong handle on our general league demographics, I would imagine that the majority of us have quite a few IRL responsibilities and/or priorities that already prevent us from being as active as we would ideally like, and introducing an entire new dimension of TPE generation would make this even worse.  So for this OT, I'd like to consider league cash/TPE generation from the perspective of a (veteran?) user.

Currently, the primary method of TPE generation is through PTs (regular and special) and OTs (wiki updates, this task, and special surveys etc), bank purchases (equipment, weekly training) hosted on the forums, with exemptions being offered in exchange for performing essential league work such as auditing, processing updates, judging awards, grading media and head office jobs, as well as some miscellaneous administrative roles.  This system is designed to provide a level playing field for general users, and reward those who are able/willing to put in some extra time.  It was developed around the forum registration system, which allows for a high degree of control by moderators, and reduces spam from bots or other bad actors.  With this high degree of manual control, however, comes a concomitant increase in workload for those who perform league roles, with the exception of some community-focused roles that can be performed on Discord.  It also leads to relative conformity among PT/OTs, which, while not exactly a source of continued creativity over the course of multiple seasons, ultimately saves users a certain amount of time so that they can complete their tasks without mental over-exertion.

League cash generation is a bit more varied, and can be earned through media articles/image submissions, team salaries/contract stipulations, literal gambling, league jobs, certain special tasks and discord activity.  Depending on one's interests and availability, the potential for earning large sums of league cash is there, although aside from T6 equipment and regular weekly training purchases, there aren't a great deal of money sinks for this generated income, and so generally this money is either banked for future seasons, or used for more frivolous reasons (exciting casino bets etc).  While cash is primarily generated through forum activity, a certain amount can be earned through Discord activity alone.  As with TPE generation, there is a certain amount of manual moderation required in order to grant cash, but there is more automation in place to take some of the burden off administrators (I am not 100% sure which of these are automated/semi-automated but I believe that discord activity monitoring and team salaries would be included here).

Given the amount of manual work being put into both TPE and league cash generation, rather than solely creating additional TPE generating structures such as RP systems, perhaps there are some additional money sinks that could be put in to convert excess cash into TPE.  This could include, for example, team facility construction projects (training field, team gym, team plane etc) that could be completed each season to grant TPE.  Of course, this would require a certain amount of initial setup work (forum and/or discord database connectivity), as well as involve some system limitations to prevent oligarchs from dominating such projects, but this could be something that could further reward users without a great deal of significant time investment, and perhaps worth considering in the future as we continue to grow the league.

Thank you for reading this brain fart, comments very welcome!
