Interesting thing I'd note is that (I'm assuming) the engine can't judge players by specific decade and will always judge each player at his best. So 00s Chiellini for example is not his peak, which is the 10s. Or 90s Schuster who was way better in the 80s.
Doesn't matter hugely here, but for any future drafts it's worth remembering that they have to be all-time and not league/club/decade specific.
Good point
I've used the player's peaks for this, so definitely a limitation if we were comparing these teams as representatives of their decade. This is just something to test the engine etc at the moment.
I think we look to set up a draft specifically for the sim after our season ends. I've got some changes I want to implement in the game engine and I need to increase the amount of options for commentary lines too as it's a bit too repetitive. I might take the "what a hit son" line out too as it was only in there for laughs (maybe I'll add "corner taken quickly" instead).
Any other feedback about the sim would be welcome (Samie, this doesn't mean I want ideas of how to make your phalanx team competitive).
