Preface; I love the game, I love what Markus & Co. have given us for 24 years, and I do love the "concept" of Perfect Team.

That said, once the game was sold to com2uS, "profit" became the primary goal. On one hand, I perfectly understand the new management wanting to make as much as possible - on the other hand, I'm sad the 24 year relationship we had with the original OOTP team plays second fiddle to new management.

I fully expect future versions of PT to become more-and-more P2P oriented which will eventually lead to higher profits through a smaller (and different) market.

I will probably try PT25 in some fantasy hope that F2P players will be given more consideration, but I really expect the time will come I will exclusively return to the classic game.

This week (so far) is convincing me my time with PT24 is coming to an end...

And since I bothered to write this post, I'll repeat the ONE THING I think would keep players like me invested in PT longer = SLOW DOWN the release of higher value cards. If half the teams weren't all Perfect cards by the end of the baseball season, competition would survive longer.

Thats all, HRB
