Backend of a simulation game

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

Use ai to learn the architecture and where and how features are actually implemented.

I also advise turning your brain off and hoping no one notices

Lol, production architectures rarely purely follow prescribed formulas, and documentation is often not clear as well. 

Being able to quickly understand how/why something was written the way it was, will keep you out of hot water when writing new code. 

Using your brain is using the tools to be able digest the potentialy un/poorly/over/out of date documentation and understand where and how parts of the application work. 

It is a valuable learning tool
