• New: New League option - Added Starting Coach Boosts option (default 0, or randomized like Draft Challenge)
• New: Major Game Sim Update! New Game Sim Engine!
• Added Game Sim Engine option to League Admin. (Legacy or New). This is a temporary option until the New engine is finalized
  All leagues will default to Legacy for now. Choose New to opt-in and share your thoughts with me on Discord!
• Major rewrite of all pass and run play logic for the New game engine!
  The engine now considers attributes of individual player matchups on the field (blocker vs. pass rusher, WR vs CB, TE vs LB), which all change depending on formations, play types, and blitzing players.
  Previously, the engine relied on averages of relevant players instead of specific individual matchups between players.
  This should highlight and expose skill gaps between player matchups better than before. For example, a low rated CB1 vs elite WR1 should see the WR with success for that game
• Each play now assigns individual player assignments (blocker, passer, receiver route long, pass rusher, etc) instead of "percentage weight".
  This opens up future opportunities for custom plays/formations/playbooks, as well as players playing "out of position" someday
• Added play details including pass blockers who get beat, run blockers when they pancake a defender, pass rushers who apply pressure, and which player is blitzing
• Added Blocking to Stats and Team Players Stats views
• With each player having individual assignments, blitzing should be more accurate. The additional pass rusher decreases pass coverage for that play
• QB sack avoidance is influenced by QB Agility and Mental
• QB scrambling is influenced by QB Speed
• Fumbles are influenced by Carrying ability
• NOTE: "HB rec %" currently does nothing in the New Game Sim Engine so it is hidden from Team Options using the New engine. Player assignments are defined by the Play in the new engine. More plays and customization is planned for the future.
  
• NOTE: There's more I want to do to improve the Game Engine, but I had to draw a line to get this update released! This update lays the foundation to make exciting future updates possible.
  I'm open to feedback and suggestions, please offer them in Discord #ideas channel!
