I've played OOTP for years and as soon as PT dropped I knew it was the mode I'd always wanted. For me the entire concept of it is super fun.
Why do I love it? I'd say there are a number of reason.
- HISTORY! I thought I knew a lot about baseball players until I started playing Perfect Team... Now I know about so many amazing players I had no clue existed like Eppa Rixey, Dave "Beauty" Bancroft, and King Kelly (just to name a few). Having historical guys be prominent players in the game has lead to me to read more about them... and their stories are often fascinating (King Kelly especially).
- Change: Perfect Team is constantly changing every 30 minutes, you're changing your team, your opponents are changing theirs. It's a constant and ever changing ecosystem that always gives me something to check on or tweak any time I want. That's not even factoring the sub-modes like tournaments and Perfect Drafts that sim every 10 minutes. It feels a lot more alive than just plodding along with my old 1983 replay.
- Community: This is a pretty big one. I have met and connected with SO many amazing people (mostly on the OOTP Discord) that have made the experience 1000% times better. I personally love this community of a few thousand (mostly) likeminded baseball nerds that are VERY willing to spitball about an aspect of the game at any time, or just talk about regular baseball. Are there bad apples out there that try sour the experience... for sure... it's the internet, and as a card carrying grown up I just brush off people like that.. But I've made some genuine friends that I never would have met without Perfect Team.
I'm probably leaving out a few things... but those are the most appealing things to me.
BRING ON PERFECT TEAM 23!
