Stuck at Perfect League Level
So i have played OOTP forever and love it. This is my first year playing Perfect team, and i love it. Here is my issue though....
After quickly moving up the ranks, I am now at the "Perfect League" level. I have prolly spend $80-$100 (total) on Points to upgrade my team at various times. At this point I dont really want to spend any more. If i dont spend any more i simply wont be competitive, yet not BAD enough to get relegated down. What do i do? Most of my players are low 90s and are the typical "value" guys for there price. MOST of the teams at the Perfect level are LOADED with "100" players (Cobb, Ruth, Wagner, on and on.... i have NONE of those), and i simply cant afford to compete, yet i am not bad enough to be sent back down. Any suggestions? To make it worse even guys who are "supposed" to be good... Like a 97 Verlander was 0-9 with a 7 ERA before i sent him down. Suggestion: Is there a chance the Perfect level gets broken up based on "total rating"... Take the top 25 or 35 guys on an entire roster... Add up the total rating and have leagues based on that. There is simply too much variance at the top level. I am open to any ideas or suggestions. THANKS |

As a side note, out of frustration, since making my first post I used the last 7k i had on 7 packs.. Not a single player above an 80, so... winning the lottery wasnt in the cards either. |
It's not really a loophole, it's just how it is in F2P game -- certain budget will get you to a certain level. Whether you are happy with that level or not is another problem, but getting stuck in a certain level will happen to everyone unless you are the biggest whale and you have the knowledge to back your team up against other whales of the same caliber.

Congrats on making it to the highest level of play. Your only hope of interesting play now is when tournaments get released, which is "Coming soon!" (still months away).
It's an unfortunate reality that in any 30 team league, there will be several teams that will not be competitive that season. That's just sports, so a few weeks here and there of not being competitive should be a given. After all, all of the teams want to win. However, this game is pretty brutal with the minimal relegation from Perfect level putting teams in purgatory. There really needs to be more aggressive relegation so teams can still enjoy a few weeks where they have any kind of chance. Personally, my team is good enough to make it the playoffs at Perfect,, so I'm not even affected by the lack of relegation. It's just an obvious problem that kills the interest of players who deserve better. I do recommend starting more teams. I have two FTP teams and they are pretty fun. Just having them around so I can crack more packs is worth it. |
The one item of good news is that the perfect level is the fastest expanding level at the moment... and most of the new teams coming in are not whales. Also, there is a whale discord channel where some of the biggest whales friend each other and face off.
I second what another said: try to find a bunch of owners that are in a similar boat as you in perfect and set each other as friends (also note that you want to be paired up with friends). This should reduce (but not eliminate) some of the whales you see in future seasons. |
Same Here

This is reason why Im shutting my teams down. Im gonna set and forget check back on Sundays. It's getting boring to get beat the hell out of every week. And I need to get back to what I love more. Me playing my White Sox in OOTP like I been doing for last 19 previous versions. I too am not going to spend money on cards that under perform all the time. Good Luck to All |
As I've stated before, I'd like to see them turn up the relegation numbers, particularly at Perfect level. It doesn't make much sense to have relegation at '2' there. It should be harder to stay at the top level.

There are at least 12 Silver guys (in the 70's) better than Verlander and more Gold than I would care to count. And that isn't even to mention the diamond level guys rated below 97 as well. So as to what you can do, you might be able to find enjoyment and a challenge in improving the team by selling off players like Verlander to find the ones that would be more productive. I'm not sure who else is on the team, but that would be a good place to start. A big part of OOTP is learning what works and what doesn't, and I think the journey can be fun and entertaining. Good luck if you decide to try! |

My bigger point was that... the system is broke. It appears this is something most of you knew long ago and im just late to the party. If people who are way smarter then me havent figured out a way to fix it, i guess im not going to either. |
But have you tried adjusting ballpark factors or hanging out in the AH for hours on end? If not then you are not trying and will never win at Perfect Level /s

Another example of this is Dellin Betances. His OVR is 89, and on my pack only team I have THREE bronze relievers/closers with identical (or close to it within 2 points) ratings. Why would I not sell Betances and keep the bronze? :P A footnote to that> Normally I'd keep Betances and sell when he rose above into diamond,but seeing how he's on the 60-day DL he won't be doing that anytime soon so it is safe to assume he will be a static rating for the foreseeable future. |

sometimes David does beat Goliath.
thats all Unsung Iron historical that beat a team of 100's historicals. |
I didn't play PT last year and wish I had read the PT 19 forums before I started playing PT 20 as I would have approached the game differently. I spent a little cash, used the auction house to the best of my ability and have gone about as far as I can with my Coney Island Warriors unless I choose to spend more. If I had one minor complaint it was jumping from diamond to perfect off an 86 win season where I wasn't close to sniffing the playoffs or WC game. It was the 4th week so I guess they needed to fill out the balance of leagues.
I still love my team if I get the right division/conference I can win games and make the playoffs as I did last year. I am going to finish this season with 83-85 wins but I have played 49 one run games, so its enough to keep me going. I don't see anyone using a loop hole or think the game is broken I moved up in competition so the game got harder. I'd rather stay here than get relegated, tweak my team/player strategies and ball park effects then go up and down like a yo-yo. I am going to start another team in a couple of weeks with what I learned and have a theme to it to make it more interesting as well but Coney Island will be my #1 priority |

I know everything has to be between .9 and 1.1 but which is which? If I want LESS HR... Is that .9 or 1.1? If i want LESS AVE... Is that .9 or 1.1? |

So what's the point of even putting ratings,numbers,or whatever gives a card it's value of the card. So it must be a scam to get ppl to buy higher rated/numered cards if they already know 70, 80 rated cards are better, right? What the point of having silver, gold, diamonf & perfect cards? Why not have just names and throw them out there to make us find out which ones are better? This is my last week of following my teams. I'm just gonna set and forget bc its just random if i win or not trying to set up matchups.Anothdr thing I dont understand is how Perfect & Diamond card teams can just hang around GOLD leagues forever trouncing the competition. I got 6 teams & probably a total of 6 Diamond Cards, never seen a perfect on my team.Javy Lopez 93 is his 2003 year .328 43 HR he has never hit more than 14 HR & .300 once. I dropped a $20 bill in AH to get him....NEVER EVER AGAIN.....felt like i got ripped off. This was fun but not any longer....just spinning wheels. |
