I'll preface this with saying I haven't read anything in this thread
1. Number one that this league needs is switching up the simming. Whether that's changing sims completely or trying STHS with a different version or with different settings etc. Now on my second player it's already boring as with everyone making the same build and hoping that luck gives them good stats. There's absolutely no incentive to try different builds because GMs know what this version likes and don't want you if your build doesn't match it
2. I think that recruiting is down obviously with Beav leaving, so new ways to recruit are always important. The most successful drive has been that YouTube video drive in S75 and now with NHL 22 coming out soon I think we should throw some money at the you tubers that will be first to play the demo of those games. Another big recruitment drive and new blood can bring driven new guys into the league.
3. VHFL needs a complete revamp, whether that be changing the scoring system which has had many articles written about it. But also could use an upgrade, maybe add/drop players during the season, continuous updates to scoring, maybe automatically and a discord bot that can tell you fantasy scores at any given time like SHL does. Also maybe moving the draft so it's automatically done on the portal and could put the scores there as well. It's pretty stale right now doing the draft at the start of the season and then just waiting until the final scores to see if you won TPE.
