We're at a point in the SHL where a good chunk of the playerbase played back in the STHS era, and a good chunk has known nothing but FHM. If you're in the latter part of the league you must have heard the horror stories... so: Let's make a hypothetical.

Players who played in both eras: What would have happened if we just had one sim engine? Posture how your career would have gone if we stayed in STHS (sans exploits). Or what if you had created in FHM the whole time? Would things have gone better or worse?

For you FHM babies: What if we were still in Simon T land? Would your career be where it is now? Or would randomness have stunted the dynasties you may or may not have been part of?

The switch to the FHM engine actually occurred at quite a fortunate time for Kvalheim, as he was just entering his TPE prime and was therefore able to benefit from being a top player in both STHS and FHM. However, the switch initially didn't go as well for the Renegades, who were forced to spend a few more seasons out of the playoffs after being on the cusp of breaking through in STHS. Though we eventually won a cup and Kvalheim won three straight Dar trophies so I don't really have too much to complain about. One thing that annoyed me about the FHM switch was that it derailed my goal of becoming the league's all time leading hitter. Kvalheim was consistently getting 200+ hits in STHS and was probably on pace to break Izzy's record, but with FHM it just not feasible to rack up so many hits without sacrificing some other aspects of your play.

Code:
9. Graphic, 3 TPE

Create a magazine cover that highlights either a player in the finals or a standout player from the regular season.

Code:
12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

The best player on the Syndicate today is also the best player in Syndicate history. Martijn Westbroek has been driving the offense for the Syndicate throughout this team's entire run of success and is undoubtedly the franchise GOAT. The discussion is more open for the Stampede though. While Alexis Metzler probably stands at the top, Monkey D. Luffy and Elizabeth Doyler are making strong cases for themselves.

Code:
14. Graphic, 3 TPE - The Procrastinator Special!
