For our fine folks here who missed the stream or prefer to have content in written form, here's what was discussed in the PT24 Reveal Show tonight. You can view the YouTube VOD here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAbELWjcT4E

LOYALTY REWARD INFORMATION!
If you've played Perfect Team in the past, we typically give packs at the start for people who've played PT for a long time. This year is no different:

If you've played Perfect Team since...
PT19: 3 Diamond Packs and 5 Gold Packs
PT20: 2 Diamond Packs and 4 Gold Packs
PT21: 1 Diamond Pack and 3 Gold Packs
PT22: 2 Gold Packs
PT23: 1 Gold Pack

All rewards will be given out when starting your team, on the same screen as starter packs.

NEW LOGIN REWARD SYSTEM!
Last year, we introduced a login reward system that would reward people for logging into the game with points and packs. This year, we bring that back, but in a different way.

This year, the login reward system will be a 30-day schedule, all packs, with a certain number and type on any day. See the first screenshot below for the complete schedule.

The big kicker with this year's login rewards? They will not reset back to Day 1 if you miss a day. This way, you won't miss out on any of the rewards in the schedule if you take a break!

BIGGER REWARDS FOR PROMOTIONS!
This year, we're giving out bigger rewards for promoting your team to the highest levels of Perfect Team, with achievement multipliers and one-time rewards for your first promotion to some of the highest levels!

Multipliers:
1.5x achievement PP multiplier in Gold League
2x achievement PP multiplier in Diamond League
3x achievement PP multiplier in Perfect League
All other leagues will have regular PP values for achievements.

One-time rewards for first promotion to higher levels:
First Gold League promotion: 25,000 PP
First Diamond League promotion: 50,000 PP
First Perfect League promotion: 75,000 PP

PITCHER BABIP IN PERFECT TEAM
The new Pitcher BABIP rating, in a nutshell, shows off how well a pitcher is able to control batting average on balls in play (BABIP). The higher the rating, the better at controlling BABIP they are.

The BABIP stat will feature below movement on the back of the card along with an "HR" rating, which is reminiscent of the old movement rating (basically, how good a player is at suppressing home runs). A look at what it looks like is in the screenshot from my slideshow below.

Myself and Paul Sporer, our new Content Director, talk about the implications quite a bit at the 15:50 mark of the YouTube VOD - in a nutshell, there's two different factors to take a look at now when it comes to movement, and could be a big help for guys who are both groundball pitchers and flyball pitchers alike, possibly moreso for guys without big swing-and-miss stuff, to try to suppress balls in play themselves.

PARTNERSHIPS!
This year, Perfect Team is proud to partner with a number of different places for content in this year's game, some familiar and some new!

TOPPS
Perfect Team will be partnering with Topps once again this year for content, but it's going to look a bit different! This year, the Topps partnership will focus on cards based around the MLB Dream Bracket event from 2020, where 64 historic baseball teams squared off in OOTP21 to see who was the best.

Cards in the Topps set will range from Iron to Perfect cards, and there will be a new and different mission structure, which will be revealed at a later date.

Pulling a Topps card will also earn you a code for 100,000 coins and 10 Series 1 Baseball Packs in the Topps BUNT app! (Limit 1 code per user). The first set of Topps cards will kick off soon, so stay tuned for more!

BASEBALL-REFERENCE
This year, Perfect Team will be partnering with our friends at Baseball-Reference for different sets of cards throughout the year, which will feature both packable cards and missions! Stay tuned for more about this partnership in the near future!

FANGRAPHS
This year, we're excited to be partnering with Fangraphs for our annual Future Legend cards! The cards will be based in concert with Fangraphs' Top 100+ list, with the cards and sets to be revealed at a later date. Any Top 100+ player can show up in any set, so stay on your toes!

SPECIAL PLAYER RELATIONSHIPS
Perfect Team will feature three historical players, to be announced after launch, that will have special events and cards tied to them! Each of the players will have a card at every card tier, and you'll find them in packs and missions. All of the cards will have different actual pictures from that player's career, with charity events surrounding each of them! This is gonna be fun to have actual pictures of some historical legends in the game once again!

BALLPARK CHANGES IN PT24
This year, PT24 will be featuring a new way ballparks will be handled. Ballparks will now be selected from a list of real and historical MLB, Minor League and KBO ballparks, each with their own park factors and a year attached! (Yes, the Default ballpark is still available.)

At the beginning, in Entry Pool, you will have 5 ballparks to choose from - the default stadium and four other real MiLB ballparks. As you progress through the levels, you unlock more stadiums to choose from, no matter if you're demoted or not! Each ballpark has its own unique characteristics and park factors. A couple screenshots from the Beta of the ballpark list are attached.

This will help foster more creativity, flexibility and strategy to ballparks in PT24!

TOURNAMENT CHANGES IN PT24
There will be plenty of new things coming to tournaments in PT24, in all different facets! First things first, players will still have 3 regular tournament slots and 2 Perfect Draft slots, so that stays the same from last year.

Daily Tournaments
This year is going to put more of an emphasis on Daily Tournaments. There will be 7 categories of Daily Tournaments available, with each category having a few daily tournaments associated with them. The categories are Open, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and "Wild Card" tournaments.

Each category will have its own leaderboard, similar to how leaderboards worked in PT23, with weekly prizes for how well you do! If you finish in the Top 128 in a particular category, you will qualify for the Perfect Team Championship Series in that category! We'll talk more about that in a bit...

Weekly Tournaments/Perfect Drafts

Many of the weekly tournaments return, as well as Daily and Weekly Perfect Drafts, each with their own leaderboards as well! Quick Perfect Drafts will not be in PT24.

Quick Tournaments
Quick Tournaments have been streamlined in PT24, with 8 traditional Quick Tournaments and 5 Entry Fee Quick Tournaments available at launch (the latter of which we'll discuss in a bit).

There are 8-team and 16-team variants of the traditional quicks, with the 8-team varieties popping up in the Open Quick, Low Diamond Quick and Diamond Quick formats, while the 16-team variants show up in Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Open Live quick tournaments. This new layout is designed to fill and fire quick tournaments more rapidly than ever!

Choice Packs
Choice Packs will return at launch as prizes for Weekly and Daily tournaments. They will follow the same format as PT23, where you pick one card from a selection of 6 cards available.

PTCS/PTMS QUALIFICATION
Each month, there will be 10 different PTCS tournaments based on the leaderboards for the 7 daily variants, the weekly tournaments, and the 2 Perfect Draft variants. The top 128 teams in each category from a qualification period (usually about 4 or 5 weeks) will make the PTCS.

This year, players will receive points for how well their team does in a PTCS, which will then go to a PTCS leaderboard. There will be two PTCS leaderboards, one for traditional tournaments (the 7 daily formats and the weekly format), and another for Perfect Drafts.

The Top 64 teams from the PTCS leaderboard will go to the Perfect Team Master Series, of which there will be separate tournaments for traditional tournaments and Perfect Drafts.

A (hopefully helpful) flowchart is provided at the end of this post to give kind of a visual of how this all works.

ENTRY FEE TOURNAMENTS
This year, PT24 introduces Entry Fee tournaments, a new concept we're trying out. How they work is that there is a small entry fee (as low as 1,000 PP) that goes into the prize pool, which will be distributed based on placement in the tournament.

The game will start with 5 entry fee tournaments available, all of them Quick tournaments. Three will have entry fees of 1,000 PP, one will have an entry fee of 5,000 PP, and one will have an entry fee of 10,000 PP.

Payouts are currently as follows:

64-team 1,000 PP Tournaments (2 at launch): 50k PP for 1st, 10k PP for 2nd, 2k PP for 3rd/4th, Standard Pack for 5th-8th
16-team 1,000 PP Tournament (1 at launch): Entire 16k pot for 1st, Standard Pack for 2nd
32-team 5,000 PP Tournament (1 at launch): 130k PP for 1st, 30k PP for 2nd, 2 Gold Packs for 3rd/4th
32-team 10,000 PP Tournament (1 at launch): 250k PP for 1st, 70k PP for 2nd, Diamond Pack for 3rd/4th

More tournament setups coming later!

PT LIVE
Perfect Team Live is a daily opportunity to set lineups based on the Live cards you own, and based upon the real-life performance, you will get rewards in Perfect Team!

Lineups in PT Live are made up of 9 batters, 2 bench players, 2 SPs and 2 RPs, with usage limits based on card tiers (2 Perfects max, 3 Diamonds max, 4 Golds max). You'll earn points every day for each hit, inning pitched, win and more the player does in real life!

Position eligibility is tied to the position the player has on the front of the card. Training in PT will not carry over to PT Live. There will be a cutoff time each day to set your lineup, and after the cutoff, you can set your lineup for the next day.

On top of daily rewards, there will be weekly and monthly leaderboards, with special rewards for teams finishing well in each time period!

PT Live will be available shortly after launch; we're hoping to have it ready by Opening Day, but it might be a tiny bit after that. Stay tuned for more.

PT PLUS
PT Plus is an optional $6.99 30-day subscription package for Perfect Team that comes with plenty of benefits, including:

Double the daily login rewards!
Extra tourney slot each for regular tournaments and Perfect Drafts
1.5x multiplier for all achievements across the board (multiplier stacks with higher-level league multipliers)
Exclusive home ballpark selections
Bonuses on PP purchases
One extra surprise per month!

PT Plus subscriptions are not stackable on top of each other, are not refundable, and are not auto-renewable. If you purchase multiple subscriptions for a team, they will be added to the end of the previous subscription (Example: If you purchase 2, you'll have PT Plus for 60 days.) The maximum allowable PT Plus subscriptions is 24.

If you decide to not renew PT Plus, the rewards you get with PT Plus (including the exclusive ballparks) will be deactivated.

OTHER NOTES:

Last year's PT licenses are GOOD FOR THIS YEAR! You will NOT have to re-register your accounts!
Live updates will once again be monthly
Training and previous card history will NOT be carried forward when cards are sold.
Players with partial stock training on their card will play at full training in tournaments and Perfect Drafts (Example: A card with a 70/70 position rating in LF, a 50/100 in CF and a 75/90 in RF will play like a 70/70 in LF, a 100/100 in CF, and a 90/90 RF.)
Perfect Drafts will now show how many players you have seen at a position.

EVEN MORE FUN THINGS COMING!

New types of packs!
The return of the Perfect Team World Championship!
Charity livestreams!
MLB player livestreams!
So much more!

TWITCH PROGRAMMING NOTES:
This Week in Perfect Team: Weekly episodes of This Week in Perfect Team will have a new live time, Thursdays at noon Eastern. This change from our regular 9pm ET was made so that if things go wrong with a card launch (i.e. server issues and the like), our server team in Europe is awake and ready to act quickly to remedy a situation.

While cards will go live after the noon Eastern stream, we've made the decision to also offer a live replay of the TWIPT streams on Twitch at 9pm Eastern on the same day, our traditional timeslot.

This schedule will go into effect AFTER the March 23 TWIPT episode, which is at the normal 9pm Eastern time slot.

Perfect Team Friday Showdown: The Perfect Team Friday Showdown Perfect Draft tournament will return Fridays at 8pm ET during the PT24 cycle.

Perfect League World Series: Once Perfect League begins in PT24, we will bring you live coverage of the Perfect League World Series from start to finish! These streams will happen Sunday nights when Perfect League is active.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy this season of Perfect Team! (This took me an hour to do at 2 a.m., and now I must sleep :P )
