My #1 Dream in Perfect Team

[Bunktown Ballers]

I know what I'm about to post is beyond the purpose of OOTP creating this game, so here goes.


As a not wealthy player I'd love to see Leagues divided in division like Pefect Cards & Below, Diamond Cards & below, Gold Cards & Below, etc, etc. I really think this would garner more interest and fairness to those who can't afford hundreds or thousands of dollars to compete in higher leagues. I think GOLD should mean that. I have a team in my league with 18 0r 19 of 26 players that are PERFECT CARDS.The rest Diamond & Only 1 Gold Card on Team. Is this really a Gold League? Team I'm playing now has ZERO Cards below 90 in a Gold League (12 Perfect) I have 1 Perfect when collecting all the Future Legend Cards



Now I'm not meaning to get rid of the system the way it is, just add those. I think OOTP would gain a bigger fanbase of players thus creating additional revenue. I mean teams adding Perfect, Diammond Cards prior to their playoff games is cheesy. I mean all we win is a few points and in 5 minutes nobody remembers who won or cares

I think when you say diamond cards and below, you mean a week long league, not the already existing tournament which only allows diamond cards and below.

So, I had a brainstorm: each week in addition to the regular league play which we all know and love, how about having a wild card league with a different format each week? Basically, an existing tournament format expanded to 162 game league play. Players who participate earn achievement points at 1/2 the normal rate in both normal league play and wild card league play. Champions of all the wild card leagues meet in a final do or die tournament to determine the overall champion (in lieu of promotion/relegation).

And to Make my point The 2 teams in the finals only had a combined 5 Gold Cards on active roster. I mean for being a GOLD LEAGUE (Not Tourament) that really not a good taste in anyone involved league mouth. What if Diamond and Perfect Cards were allowed in Gold Tounraments...There would an uproar...Why designate a league as GOLD LEAGUE when from 100 Perfect to 40 cards can play. Same thing goes for Silver, Bronze, etc.Just think how exciting playing in tournaments are because you feel you have a chance at least as everyone on even level.

5 of the 52 cards on teams in a GOLD LEAGUE was Gold. People like fairness....When people don't feel like league is playing in fairness....money will on be spend by only the top 5-6 teams. I would happily sell all my above Gold Cards to improve my GOLD Team.....IT JUST MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE especially when Tournament have to stay within Tournament Setups


Please OOTP look on this seriously....People who want Perfect Teams, Diamond Teams, Gold Teams etc etc will still spend $$$$$ and feel better about it.

Sorry man, this is pretty Bonkers. If a player was in Silver league and pulled a perfect Gehrig and the game was like "oh sorry sir you can't play that because you're only in silver league" that would be a great way to get someone to never play again.

Tiered tournaments are there for everyone. You want to play only gold cards then that's the avenue.

If you improve enough move to Higher Tier the next year, maybe even some limit can be set on specific league like putting a number on higher cards being in set league. And just 47 players out of 52 players higher than GOLD is not managing a team, it's going over the league name by a lot



Why label a League a Specfic given name like GOLD League when it's really open to everything. Then so if I win packs in a tournament and get a PERFECT Gehrig why can't I play them in GOLD Tournaments..I mean I earned it there.



Anytime a forum user thinks of something other than the normal they get called names or given "Bonkers Label" Of course it wouldn't be for the WHALES. Im pretty sure your a company in all manners of what you do. Looking outside the box is not against any laws & kinda stupid in my view. But I'm sure OOTP would never never do something like that. OOTP has some of the most disrespectful posters on any forum I've been on. It's really worst than Twitter, Facebook or anything

After all, there are no explicit "rookie" or "stone" level cards. Honestly, I doubt you could make it to the gold level with only gold cards on your roster.

Of course people who have thoughts about something different, but your assertion of can't is off the mark. Another WHALE making comments about GOLD Level. Go away and I'll make that happen

Why do you keep typing "whale" and "gold" in all caps?

We're all beating around the bush.

The "real" issue is Perfect Team, as it stands today, has a 10 week or so lifespan for customers who can not, or don't want to, pay extra to remain competitive.

The top levels (G-D-P) fill up with top level cards within that time frame, so most customers either get use to bouncing between Silver, Bronze and Gold or they lose interest.

The Whales really have no reason to care about the F2P players. They will continue to invest dollars into their teams to compete with other Whales and will be in either Perfect or Diamond for the duration.

I STILL think that the solution to involve F2P players longer is to slow down the release of high-end cards. Whales will still rise to the top, but competition between teams (and between the levels) will be increased since no one can field a team of all Perfects until late in the game-year. That will ultimately raise the price of the top cards in circulation, but then giving out more rewards won't result in the top teams fielding 26 100s by the All-Star break. The lifespan of anything less than Diamonds might actually make it to the end of the MLB season.

But alas, it's not our game - it's theirs.

PS: If your doubting my evaluation, look at my three teams below. 78 roster spots - almost all Perfects and Diamonds - no investment beyond PT+ - two teams reached Diamond early, but all three teams are now no higher than Gold with records below .500 and no where to go unless they land a lucky pack. Yes, I know, I could play tournaments, and spend hours watching Twitch trying to squeeze every point and pack, but that would basically glue me to my keyboard - more of a job than a game. The game is for "investors" not F2Pers beyond the All Star game.

that's the great point...losing interest. As one not to grind affiliate rewards or tourneys there is not a lot left to do.

It's fine but that's the reality of casual play I suppose in perfect team.

kinda going the same route with Waffletown this version... picked up PT+ in May and this month (heck for the 30 day price, I can't even buy a lunch for a single day so not like it's breaking the bank).... won the Silver WS last season and expected to be mediocre at best in my first Gold run this season... started out 7-19 and was prepared early for a relegation run back down.... instead my bunch went on a solid run, finished 96-66 for the top wild card spot; won the wild card 2-0, beat out division nemesis 3-1 in the LDS; won the LCS 4-1, and now await our Gold WS opponents.

for the twitch packs it's actually pretty quick/easy to get them.... I follow a number of affiliate streamers and have the app on my phone so if someone starts a stream with pack drops, I can pop it on my phone and let it run (only takes about 75 minutes to get the 5 packs)... if you aren't interested in listening to the actual stream you don't have to, but some are pretty interesting/fun (and might even giveaway more packs on top of the drops).... add on to that the official OOTP channel drops (5 more packs a day) and it adds up pretty quick (already over 550 free packs from twitch drops this year)....

for tourneys, just pick a level/style and spam the heck out of it... if you have OOTP Go on your phone, it only takes less than a minute to sign in, grab a few tourney slots and sign out... most times I get nothing from them, but have won enough quick tourneys to get a nice amount of packs there as well...

so plenty of ways for a relative F2P player to compete, and perhaps with a lucky pack pull, get a solid player for their squad (nabbed a Diamond Gehrig card last week, who should win the MVP this season if all goes right in the voting), that they can either play or sell for a nice war chest to improve their club (that Diamond Gehrig's last 10 price is almost 270K, so could bring in a huge amount selling him... but would rather have him playing for me right now)

The top 50 players on my roster are diamonds and I haven't spent a single penny on the game. I'm only in a bronze league but I still enjoy it very much.
