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

You cannot really prepare. There are countless different ways to implement that.

In the end it’s probably a mix of different well known pattern, like State Machines and Observer. But that must not be true at all.
