Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League".
 

Anyone interested in playing Perfect Team 20 our way?



We are a group of PT fans who enjoy playing the same way.


We play for free.


The ONLY PP we use is the PP that is earned from achievements in our games and from selling off any baseball cards that we don't want; we don't buy additional PP to use.


We choose to play and NOT use any baseball cards that are of players from the 2019 Live , 2019 All-Star, Future Legend, 2019 POTM (Player of the Month), or 2019 Team Of The Year cards sets.

That means we only use players that can be found on the following cards:

One-Hit Wonder
Rookie Sensation
All-Time Legend
Historical All-Star
Record-Breaker
Unsung Heroes
Hardware Heroes
***Special Edition***Eligible Card Sets: One Hit Wonder, Legend, Record Breaker, Negro League Stars, All Star (Non 2019), Special Edition, Hardware Heroes
***Special Edition***Not Eligible Card Sets for OL Play: MLB 2019, MLB 2019 All-Stars, & MLB 2019 POTM

If you are interested in playing the way we play, and you agree to not buy any additional PP, and only use players from the card sets listed above, let us know as we'd like for you to join our "Group of Friends".

Also, even if you only play era specific players, you are more than welcome to join up.

For example, if you enjoy playing with all pre 1980 players, or all pre WWII players, then you will easily fit into our "Group of Friends".

Just let us know.


Thanks in Advance,

Bottom of the Sixth

Always current "Our Friends" Roster:

Our Friends Roster

For a Little More Info...
 

Check the Perfect Team 19 thread "Looking for friends for Silver League..." to read more about how the league has been going so far.

I have 2 teams that can fit this criteria. Right now one is in bronze and the other is in Iron.

I have 3 teams in bronze. I have not spent a cent on PP so far, but I may eventually have one of them be P2P team.

One of my teams is going to be made up of only players from 1951-1970. This team seems suited for your league.

I would love to join this league. I had a team like this in OOTP19. I just started a team tonight with the username stlrs36 named the Asheboro Road Dogs. We are in the entry pool at the moment.

Thanks. I have you added to my friends list.


My PT user name is Bottom_Of_The_Sixth.


Welcome Aboard!


If anyone else is interested, we need to know your PT user name(s).


We are tentatively going to try officially starting up Our Friends League when PT20 Season #2 starts. That should hopefully give everyone a fair chance to edit and setup their teams the proper way.


We will also have to try and sort out who is in which league and try to get everyone in the same League Level.

My user name for the team is dora1787 (wife's name!) and the team is the Shasta Black Bears....Thanks

My FTP team is the Daytona Beach Pickleballers" currently Iron.. I won't spend a dime on this team, however as of now I have "live cards" but thinking of dumping them and adding the other types to your list.. I will probably need a few weeks to do this.. Keep me in mind If you have the room in a few weeks?...Thanks

Ok... really serious about this... I started re editing my team.... Going to go position by position to meet the requirements.. as I accumulate (hopefully!) points this week, I can "divest" myself of all LIVE players.. Lots of great finds in AH.. Just picked up a Paul Deluca for a few hundred.. 98 at catcher..

My PT username for Daytona Beach Pickleballers is MrDanboy

Thanks for the invite. Added you to my friends list. Should I add others that are a part of the group as well? Never did this before.

Thanks,
Bill

Username McGator for the Stephensville Bears, currently muddling along in Iron155. Will use the rest of the week to divest LIVE players from roster.

forget.. how do I add a friend

I don't see an actual friends list but I went into the Perfect Team Universe and Managers & Rankings tab and searched by username. Then you can click add as friend.

Got you added to my list; thanks.

What about the category "One-Hit Wonder"?

Got it added now to the first post.


Thanks for asking about it as I totally forgot about that one! :ohmy:


Chad

I should be divested by Friday.. I added you as friend.. am I good?

We still have a few more guys who are possibly planning on joining us however, RL (real life) has prevented them in posing here.


I will make a master PT user name and team list of everyone in our group, later in the week.


That way everyone can easily make sure that all teams are properly included.

I'm VERY new to Perfect Team, but this sounds like a good fit for me.

Right now, however, my team doesn't fit the no-live-cards rule. It may take me a while to switch things up.

Or would it be best to make a second team? (I have not done that before, do I just log in with a new e-mail addy?)

Thanks for letting us know that you are interested in our league format.



We are not going anywhere so feel free to take your time building however, to have everyone in the same league, there are only 30 spots.


Currently, we have plenty of room.



Due to promotion and regulation, guys will be coming and going each season.


I've been playing Perfect Team since it was originally released, back in November.


Currently I have two Perfect Teams; one in OOTP19 and one in OOTP20 and it is very time consuming for me, just with two teams.



I am not sure how others do it however, I look at my teams several times a day, when I can.


I would suggest sticking with one team until you get your feet wet.


Then you can decided whether to add another team to your mix.

My team is now without any "live" players. My theme is only players from 1951-1970 (my two favorite eras of MLB). I had to sell an 88 Bret Saberhagen, but it worked out.

I am in last place in a bronze league. Will this start off bronze or iron?

Sorry, I just had to show my team!

How old are you? :p

Just about done selling off my Live Cards and have purchased some decent picks in AH.. I should have a complete change in my Daytona Pickleballers team tomorrow.. This should be a lot of fun.. I enjoy playing without Live anyway.. Plus my other two teams are "live and mixes"" and they are PTP..

I am 70.. Probably the Old guy of the league.. been simming since 1963 "Stratomatic" cards back then!

Right on. I got my stat on Statis Pro baseball. I've also played Strat-o-matic. For video games, I got my start on Earl Weaver Baseball,Tony La Russa Baseball, and Baseball Mogul. Been hooked on OOTP ever since it came out.

Put it this way, I played high school baseball in the late 60's

How to see players in Auction House that are not 2019 Live players
 

So I have just started a second team this evening that will be set up to not use the MLB Live or Future Legends cards. Problem is, most cards are MLB Live. Somebody had posted at one point how to do a search in the auction house for cards that are NOT MLB Live cards... can anybody repost that, because it is frustrating scrolling past all the MLB Live players.

Oh, and my user name is HomeOfTheBraves and my new team is the Battery Point Knuckleheads. We are currently in the entry pool.

Sure, use the "type" filter to pick what to search for...

Thanks, that is helpful, but it doesn't allow multiple selection. Somebody posted that in the search field there is a way to indicate a negative --- that you don't want to match something, but I don't remember how they said to do that.

Thanks for All the Interest
 

I've been in Our League (formerly named the Real League) since the start, and it has been fun. It will be only better with more players. The way it's been going so far, I have been keeping track of the teams, checking the League we end up in for members of Our League.
Then I go through the schedules to find which Our League members are current, and post standings as the week goes by with only Our League games listed. The champion is determined by winning percentage, although teams that play a limited number of games (due to PT placement AI) are not eligible. With the list growing (now 13 by my count), we should get more games against each other.


Just remember to all all the teams user names to your friends list, and then go to your preferences and select "use friends list." Also important is to click "submit team" after you've done this.


Don't worry if we end up in different levels. Using these types of players tends to level the strength of the rosters. If we do end up with enough teams in different levels, we could run, for example, an Our League Bronze and an Our League Silver simultaneously.


Good luck in building your teams. Finally, for those that want more than one team, I play three in 19 and don't repeat players across the rosters. It makes it easier to follow and gives each team a distinct personality, which helps when they play each other.

Maybe we can get a nice list of OUR LEAGUE players usernames?

Oh OK went back thru the post and saw you are adding this.. I got the names on there so far..

Search for wond|rook|leg|all-s|recor|hero

OK!... I have eliminated ALL LIVE cards.. I am ready.. And I must say shopping in the AH has been a LOT of fun.. Balancing the team for a minimum of points earned....

Working on weeding out live players as quickly as I can...the Salem Witches will be happy to welcome each and every one of you to Puritan Park as soon as we qualify...

I assume that this just means no live cards on active roster, but there could be live cards that are inactive or on reserve roster?

We Look Forward to Your Arrival
 

Be sure to post your user name and add the others to your friends list. It must be mutual, ad you need to submit your team for it to work.

Shouldn't be as problem
 

I'm sure there are others who want to hold onto more cards than usual to see how the tournament and collections turn out. I wouldn't have a problem if the Live and Future players were kept off your active roster. I'm not sure how others feel about it. Perhaps they'll weigh in on it. Also, I would go along with whatever Bottom_Of_The_Sixth thought was best, since it's his idea we're following.

My reserve roster has plenty of live players. I'm waiting to see how the tournaments turn out, I just got a triple play worth 2000. First one I've gotten!!

When is the manager list going to be posted. I'm guessing Sunday.

I've got a team that is completely free to play. I love historical and in fact until I broke my 25 year boycott tonight I didn't watch a single baseball game in it's entirety since 1994. In some years, in fact most years I watched ZERO baseball. Anyway, I'll see what I can do to get my roster off any live cards before monday and if I can I likely will apply for your league. It is up my alley.

Yes.. see no reason why Live and Legend cards can't be on one's Inactive roster..

Yes, there is no problem if anyone decides to sit on Live and Legend cards, as long as they are not used in "Our League".


99% of the Live cards I ever received in PT19 and PT20 were never any good so I would just sell them off to generate extra PP so I could buy players I wanted/needed.

still in the entry league here as I didn't get a chance to jump in until Monday evening.... just made the last acquisitions tonight to complete my pre-ww2 squad (chronicling their exploits in the dynasty section, with link at the bottom of my sig, if you want to follow along).... they suck something fierce right now, so when they get placed in the Iron league next week, it might be a struggle for them to move up until I can gather enough points for upgrades....


team: Waffletown Syrups
name: peter_marinescu

Looking forward to see the updated friend list.

I'd like to join as my team is already trending that way and I have not bought any PP.

Username: SoDoMojo
Team: Seattle Pilots

Currently in Bronze.

Sounds like fun.

Please Add Your User Name If Interested
 

Even though your team may not be fully (un)Live or (still looking toward the)Future, please add your user name to the list and add the others to your friends list. Once your team(s) fit the criteria, they will be added to Our League, even during the season. Omgpuppies needed to that once in PT 19. Since I search the calendar to find the schedule and then post the standings, I would ask that you post when you are or are not meeting Our League criteria, so I can make adjustments.



Please join of us, and don't forget to add the others and set "use friends list" in your preferences, and the be sure to hit "submit team."

I am fully non Live Non Legend
