How much are you spending in Perfect Team?
 

I was curious, how much are you spending in PT this version, and what level did you peak at?

As a play for free user, I'm curious at your highest level that you can maintain.

FTP. Reached Diamond playoffs early. Treading water in Gold for months, although a ridiculous-lucky card pull (103 Skubal Combinator) has me looking to get back into Diamond with a solid team.

The 20 people on this board will never admit to how much they spend. If they do tell you an amount, they are lying.....

Zero.

I am not lying,

I've never spent any money on PPs, although it is fun to tell my wife I'm going to spend $1000 to buy the latest shiny new player.

All three of my teams have been to Diamond but now if they get there it's a quick relegation. Most fun I've had in weeks/months was when two of my teams were relegated to Silver. Was nice winning 120+ games again!

Two of my teams have completed the PT Elite missions, one may never get there.

No money spent on points. I haven't reached my peak yet, which is making PeL playoffs. (Fell 1 game short in my only visit to PeL). I expect to complete all the missions.

Next year, I may spend $500 on day 1 so I can get to diamond in week 3 and never look back. I'm getting tired of my slow buildup strategy.

no one wants to admit anything so i'll break the seal, because I think talking about spending should be more accepted. I spent a day one three hundred dollars and nothing since.I have been competitive at the highest levels all year.

I spent about $500 as a new to the game this year player, not all at once, starting mid year.I had fun for a while but now I'm a sub 500 team stuck in Gold.

Thinking about trying the strategy next year of $500 at the beginning and not a dime after.

I am not even sure I want to spend that much because even after watching videos and reading strategies I still feel I'm not getting the most out of my team somehow.

I think my strategy settings are the problem but who knows? When I see one team with a Mariano Rivera 103 and theirs is a star closer and mine has a 12 ERA as a setup then I figure I'm probably just not very good at this game.

strategies are barely helpful: the players matter. mariano is not a good player at this point, you need 140+ stuff at diamond+ to be able to survive. he is not close. look at the players the best teams are using, and try to get those.

zero - currently in gold and have a great chance to move to diamond after this week. Took me a LONG time to get there and complete missions.

Here's my starters, all doing awful in gold this week:

Mark Prior 102 STU 143 4-7
Zach Wheeler 102 STU 146 3-8
Tom Seaver 102 STU 138 7-5

I just got these 2 and they're also awful, though some say mid week adds take a large penalty.

Roger Clemens 102 STU 146
Bullet Joe Rogan 102 STU 126

The team top of my division has the same Zach Wheeler but theirs is 7-2.

I tend to wait for point sales to occur before spending. I generally get 175,000 points every sale.

For me, that's the biggest turn off - trying to get the best player the top teams are using. As a free to play user, I can reach gold, but that's it. Instead of doing my own research, I have to see who the top teams have, and try to buy those players. It's not much fun when you see 5+ duplicate players at every position.

I really wish there could be a subset Perfect Team area, where every player is unique.

That is where Theme teams come in handy.

Why spend money if there is no money in return?

Ask the people on the golf course at 5am every day the same question.

I don't think golfing is a pay to win game... LOL

no but it is entertainment. why go to a fancy restaurant instead of a cheaper one? why go to a sports game instead of watching it on TV? it's a hobby that people believe is worth the fun that their money in is. it's silly to wallet judge anyone for a hobby that isn't harmful to them

I've played PT plenty when I could have been earning. The devs would probably prefer if I'd worked a bit harder and bought loads of points :)

CWhit, just wanna say, I'd love to catch some of your streams but they're 3am for me.

It doesn't seem to matter what kind of pitchers you have.
Note: I don't use 6-man rotations; just wanted to show the guy before Kershaw.
