MLB is their job. They get paid to play that game. I don't work for OOTP and make zero money playing OOTP or PT. If you work for OOTP and this is your job, then maybe you see it differently than "just a game".

How about this: tell us about your worst teams this year. You're fielding multiple, right? Tell us about the bad ones. That would be more beneficial than saying "omg my best team is in Diamond! Yours isn't, but just enjoy the game!"

sure, let's compare... my worst team of three is currently in Bronze. Yearly breakdown and current lineup in the screenshots (that's Gold Gehrig, not Diamond/Perfect). Highest level so far is Silver. Made the playoffs 7 times / missed 6 times. Never won a World Series. FTP, no PT+, isn't my account for Twitch-drops; and rarely does much tourney stuff so far outside the friday night Twipt tourney if I remember to join; so basically gets cards from daily sign-in packs, packs from missions, mission rewards, and the occasional find in the auction house.

do I still have fun with this team? Sure. I keep my expectations realistic and know that maybe half the time I'm going to miss the playoffs; and even if I make the post season, there's a solid chance one of the other entrants are vastly superior to me and will knock me out. Outside the ins-and-outs of the PT season, I keep track of my worst "golf packs" (i.e. - 60 rating is par; 50 rating is minus 10; how far under par can you get on a single pack? My "best" so far is a minus 73). But after all that, I still find the game fun and an enjoyable use of my free time.

If that's not the case for someone, this might not be the right use of free time for them.

Let's be real, PT is all about luck - it's basically a gambling game where we open packs and try to get some great pulls. If we want to play the strategy aspect of OOTP, we play the normal game. How about next time you go to Vegas, and you hit a decent payout, turn to the guy watching you in torn jeans and a tattered shirt and say "oh just play it as a game, don't worry if you win like I just did" and tell us how that goes. I can't tell you how it will go, because apparently it's toxic for me to do that.

hey, you're the one who said you can't believe how toxic this community is after quoting my post that just said the snarky/sarcastic commentary of that OP deserved some sarcasm in return. If that's "toxic" then so is your responses. Or... both are just normal back-n-forth discussion of varying viewpoints and the "toxic" buzzword just needs to be left out.
