My first player, Daryl Urquhart, had what could be considered a successful career, far more than I ever expected! A WJC Gold and an Onoprienko trophy in the J and 2 Cups in the majors, as part of the Seattle playoff train, would mark anyone’s career as awesome. But honestly, he struggled to stand out. His crowning glory was the all-time +\- leader for the Argonauts, but a -40 final season cratered that. He was solid enough, but he was kind of *just there*.

So, with my new player, Inge Baardsen, I’d like them to be a player who gets noticed. Not necessarily as a star player or anything, but someone you can put your finger on and say ‘he’s been a valuable contributor to this team’. As more of a playmaker, I want him to be the driving force behind a player slotting them away on a consistent basis, the Pippen to a Jordan if you will. And I believe that starts with me. I had a bit of a false start with my previous player. I was late getting on a team and ended up IA for a little while early on, which dented my earning. Then, for some reason, the change of sims cratered my players scoring, in what should have been his peak seasons, which killed the immersion a bit for me, so I didn’t earn as well as I could have the final few seasons. I’d like a player who gets better and is an active contributor to his team. I don’t necessarily need to win a cup, but I’d especially love to help a team rise and claim their prize, the way we did in Seattle. That would be extremely satisfying. Goal number 1 is to find a J team that fits!
