This thread is about the perceived deficiencies in the NPPL.
IMO: The NPPL has and is continuing to provide a superior product when compared to the PSP. The things I personally witnessed in the PSP drove us to the NPPL. Thus far, my personal NPPL experience and my teams overall opinion has been positive.
That said: There is ALWAYS room for improvement. |
You definitely have that on me, I have never played the PSP. I started with XPSL and then moved into the NPPL. I was actually looking at going to the PSP as an alternative, but you comments and those of many more who have been there lead me to believe that "fixing" the NPPL (room for improvement as you put it) is a better alternative.
I myself too wonder what the deal with the hang up cheating is. Look at any other sport played. Its a penalty. I dont hear the millions of fans scream "CHEATER! YOUR WHATS WRONG WITH THE GAME" when a lineman gets a 5 yard holding penalty. Its the same thing, its changed the outcome of the game. Its against the rules and its not the right thing to do. Sound allot like diving a hit off to me.
My issues are not with cheating per say. They are with things like on one feild XYZ is a penalty as the rule book states, yet on another feild its "refs discretion" and no penalty assessed for the same thing. My issue is consistency.
This is from D3 to PRO.
My (as mentioned many times) consistency gripe is that whats good for the pro's is not good for the D3-Semi Pro guys.
Pro's wear metal spikes, pro's get games replayed, pro's break certain uniform rules that the lower divisions inconsistently get hassled over.
It just drives you nuts to one game have a penalty assesed to your team because of ref's discretion and then in the next game on a different feild the opposite team does that same infraction to you and you try to argue it to no avail because of a different ref's discretion. This is the type of inconsistency I am speaking of.
