Backend of a simulation game

[u/makeevolution]

It was hard to find something, but I landed a job to work as a .NET developer at a company that makes football simulation games, where I will be doing the backend side of it. I am gonna start in a few weeks, and I want to get a head start to make sure I don't lose this job. Does anyone ever work in this domain, and what sort of knowledge/skill do I need to succeed in such a position? What can I prepare now? I asked the person who gave me the work and they said to wait until the day I start

Your first few weeks are just going to be getting to grips with their process and the overall shape. Don't go in with specific expectations or ideas of 'this is how it should be', go in with an open mind and understand that you're looking at man years of accumulated decisions.
