With the new sim, it's definitely a story of ups and downs, but there are definitely a lot more ups than downs I feel. As far as the stream goes, which I'm a super avid fan of, I think the viewer experience has gotten both really good, and a lot worse. Watching the plays get played out is a lot better with it being a lot easier to keep track of things, but then on the flip side, keeping track of stats has become a bit of a nightmare. I don't believe the sim even shows OL pancakes on the stat ticker anymore either, which as a guy who plays OL, is a big disappointment. Though, it's an alright enough trade-off with all the cool new stuff we got, I suppose.
Speaking of which, the new stadiums have been INCREDIBLE. It's nice seeing all the different team personalities come out with the field designs, and see teams really take advantage of it. That being said, Norfolk, Kansas City, and Chicago have easily had my favorite stadiums so far. Absolutely love the colored fields that commit to some very unconventional designs. Norfolk especially has one of the nicest fields to look at in my opinion, and I really hope as the seasons go on, they stick to the design.
