Second and Ten: Mixed Seasons Dynasty

Second and Ten Mixed Seasons Dynasty

This is an idea I've had for a while, and even attempted a version of it earlier with Whatifsports.com, but I was never happy with their engine, especially since I wouldn't be able to collect stats. Now that I have Second and Ten, I'm happy with how it works on some test runs.

The idea is to come up with different mixtures of teams/structures and sim seasons or tournaments. The first season will be a season for the worst teams for each franchise. Future season ideas include:


Greatest Offenses
Greatest Defenses
Superbowl World Series (Replay each Superbowl as a 7 game series)
Best Non-Playoff Teams
Best Non-Superbowl Teams
Great Individual Seasons

If you have any good ideas for a future season, I'll add them to the list.

Here are the teams included in the Worst Teams season:

Note: I tried to include more recent teams, but the Steelers worst modern era team was 5-11 so I went back to the last pre-Bradshaw season. Also, I had to include the winless Buccaneers squad.
