First (Iron) season went better than I expected. Stayed close in the wild card thanks to getting packs through Twitch drops, and ended up in a 1-game playoff for the last WC spot, which I lost. Second (Iron) season, I ended with the league's best record, and barely won the conference in 7 games, and then lost the World Series in 7 games to a team that was two games above .500 (FML, I think he bought a Perfect pack or two ahead of the playoffs, because boy was juiced).

Third season I was promoted up to High Bronze, and was summarily trounced by all the all-Diamond & Perfect line-ups, finishing last in my division @ 0.438; ironically the only season so far that has ended on a win. Relegated to Low Bronze for the next season, and took the division and first round bye, only to lose in the second round in 5 games in best-of-5, Currently in my fifth season, back in High Bronze getting stomped and under .500, however every once in a while I get to stomp one of those all-Diamond & Perfect teams.

I have played in half-a-dozen tournaments and gotten 2nd twice in iron- or bronze-only. Waiting to see where I land in today's Daily Iron. Twitch drops and the daily drop are my main sources for packs, but I am keeping up with my Missions so I get the packs there as well. So far have not rage-bought any PP or Perfect packs out of frustration for my teams' performances.

OOTP 27 is my first OOTP, and I have every intention of playing a regular game, but so far any time I am in-game, I am in Perfect Team.

Update (6/15/26, because I ended up back here): Swirled the bowl in High Bronze for two seasons, winning a few more games each year, but was relegated to Low Bronze even with a 0.481 because of a relatively balanced league. Over 300 packs opened by my estimate, but no Perfects except for one I have unlocked through Missions. Messed with some alternative pitching strategies to try for a risk/reward outcome but found it to be middling, as it basically seemed to 'rubberband' my performance where I would do better for 10-15 games, then do worse for another 10-15, then repeat. Still have not paid any real money for PP or packs. Also, have not played in the regular game yet, probably because I have not found a guide that walks me through setup.
