There were 43 NA players starting in Academy in the summer of 2018 and 27 in LCS. Now that we have the complete rosters for Academy, I wanted to compare and there are 38 NA players starting in Academy and 25 in LCS.
In LCS, the new imports were mainly on Sven and Jensen becoming residents, allowing teams to bring in new imports, plus Flyquest maxing out on imports. In Academy, it was mainly due to the import softcap being increased by allowing wildcard players to count as domestic players.

Hey Football fans! Have you ever wanted to live the life of a professional football player? Now is your chance. Come create your own football superstar in the National Simulation Football League; a simulation football league that uses DDSPF 16 (a football sim engine).
In the league, you control only one player. You create your player based on certain archetypes like Speed Rushing Linebacker, Receiving Running Back or Man to Man Corner, and can put points into various attributes to improve your player at creation and over the course of your career. We have a Rookie Mentor Team, a group of people dedicated to helping you create a player and potentially become the next super star of our league!
After player creation you will work on improving your player and be drafted to a team in our Development League. You will spend a season on this team along with players made by other people learning the ins and outs of the league, and spending time together in the team’s virtual locker room on discord. After one season you will then be drafted by one of our Pro Teams.
Now you may be asking, how does my player get better? Mainly through activity! You earn points by completing various tasks like a weekly activity check, season and game predictions, and weekly trainings. You will be able to spend your earned points as you want to improve your player, so that one day they'll have the chance to end up in the league's Hall of Fame!
All the games are streamed live on Youtube using DDSPF 16, so you will get a chance to watch your player. During the season we have games streaming each day, Monday through Friday.
This league is completely free and run by volunteers! We are a fun community of over 200 users controlling players in the league, which means we have tons of football fans. We have plenty of spots open for rookies!
We are in the last week of our 20th season. Conference Championships are tomorrow, and Ultimus (the league’s Super Bowl) is Wednesday. Then the off-season begins with all new players being drafted [Potentially Monday March 1st]. That is two weeks for you to prove to Teams that you deserve being drafted 1st overall. This is a perfect time to join! Come check us out and create your own Hall of Fame player!
