The Holiday Season is here Soden Bowl! As most of you know COVID-19 Impacted me pretty hard in November. My time with the community was limited to just a few minutes per day as I fought off the virus. I returned to work two weeks ago and I am feeling much better as I type this article. Soden Bowl is a family to me, every one of you guys/gals is part of the SB family. I thank you for your support.
Let’s talk about some changes in Soden Bowl and how they will relate to our leagues.
1. KylorenXoXo will remain the Vice President of Soden Bowl, he will not be playing in the league as most of you know and his team has already been filled.
2. I will returning as the Patriots owner/player for this next upcoming season.
3. Rules and game play have slipped, they will be fixed immediately.
4. SNYPZ TV and SBN return to the lineup for next season.
5. SB Collectors Corner returns 12/17.
6. We have partnered with Mike McFadden aka MUTGuru.
7. Pick-Em standings coming soon.
8. User activity needs a shot in the arm.
9. SB Marketplace coming back and changing.
10. Patreon members receive special league oriented rewards.
KylorenXoXo is not happy with the state of game play or simulation play style. He is 100% correct in his assessment in my opinion. Kylo did not want to take on the league by himself with the enforcement of rules. Kylo chose The Force instead of the Dark Side (Star Wars pun) and elected to step back from playing but remain as the Vice President of Soden Bowl.
This leads into topics 2 and 3, I am back baby! With my return as the Patriots owner and commissioner of Soden Bowl – I will be personally reviewing every owners game play and the rules of Soden Bowl. Soden Bowl is a content driven league that plays in a simulation fashion. We do not play the game to abuse any flaws in the game and there is a lot this year. You should not be using the same player every play, you should not be calling the same plays, you should not be making the same pre snap adjustments in an attempt to abuse the mechanics of the game. We will get into the simulation aspect in much more detail over the weekend. Rules will be made, enforced and discussed.
I am pleased to announce Prime Time Shine and Soden Bowl Network returning to the field of live play by play broadcasts. My voice is still messed up so I am looking at the start of the next Soden Bowl season for the SBN broadcast. Live with CMG just never panned out for Friday Nights so SBN will move back into it’s Prime Time slot of Friday Nights.
Soden Bowl Collectors Corner returns December 17th with it’s next 3 piece mystery jersey pull (Joe Montana’s event). Sign-ups will be posted in the SB Collectors Corner Discord chat soon. Keep and eye out and claim your spot when you see it open.
I am pleased to announce we have partnered with the MUT Legend Mike McFadden aka MUTGuru. Mike is a tremendous force on Social Media and a huge influence with in the Madden Community. Mike is a good friend of mine and together we are awarding members on Twitter who follow us both and retweet a Browns game day jersey giveaway. If the Browns win that day, you could win some cool swag! Make sure to follow Mike on Twitter.
Pick-Em standings are being tabulated and free spots in the December 17th mystery pull will be awarded. COVID-19 slowed my process to keep up with the standings and as I return to work for Allied I have to catch up on a lot. Thank you for your patience.
The activity of Soden Bowl as a whole has dropped off and that is 100% my fault. Let’s get the ball rolling again. I’d like to see more immersion in the league with Twitter activity, Discord activity. I am opening the door for anyone who wants to blog on the Soden Bowl and Website. Send me a message on Discord if this interests you.
There has been a lot of discussion in the SB Staff to revamp and continue the Soden Bowl Marketplace. We do not the SB Marketplace to turn into a place were people can create super teams. We wants to reward active owners with cool things that the game can not replicate. Grimey214 has some very ideas and we are looking adding them this weekend.
Patreon supporters, check your Patreon page for a message about the program. Patreon supporters will get to help sculpt the new SB Marketplace, they will also continue to be rewarded for their financial support of Soden Bowl with more swag like Soden Bowl shirts, hoodies, posters, mugs and autograph jersey’s. They will also have some cool in-game content delivered.
Thank you for your time Soden Bowl – waitlist (Free Agents) we will be contacting you soon as we review the state of the league – if you have read this post please react some how so I can track the activity of the community.
