Hey everyone,

as we are nearing the beta stage of Perfect Team, I'd like your feedback on a certain topic. First off though, let me give you a quick update on Perfect Team. Unfortunately, the messy OOTP 19 patch release two weeks ago and some technical issues have pushed our plans back. Right now we are aiming for the closed beta to start at the end of September, and the public beta at the end of October. Then the official launch will be once the open beta is concluded and all launch features have been tested and work fine. Until then, we will release more in-depth info (including a video and screenshots) about Perfect Team in about two weeks, we are currently preparing that material and once it goes through MLB/MLBPA approval, we'll post it through the usual channels (inclduing the forum, of course). So, we are making good progress, but not quite as fast as we have hoped, but that is often the case with new technology (server-based gameplay is new to us, and we are learning every single day). In any event, we will make sure the Perfect Team mode is as stable and fun as possible for the launch of the public beta.

If you are not familiar about Perfect Team yet, please have a look at this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=290863

Okay, now to the question / poll: As you know, in Perfect Team simulation leagues teams are made out of player cards, of which about 70% will be 2018 MLB players and 30% will be historical players (we have various different card categories, for example, Historical All-Stars, Rookie Sensation, One-Hit Wonder, Record Breaker, etc.). So, which year should the PT leagues mimic in terms of stats output?

The most logical would be 2018, but we are currently in a pretty extreme era, with a low batting AVG (.249), tons of strikeouts (.246 K/AB), a lot of home runs (.034 HR / AB)... runs / game are at 4.46. I am not sure this would be a good era for a mix of modern and historical players.

I personally like 2010, with 257 AVG, .207 K/AB, .028 HR/AB, 4.38 R/G.

We could also use numbers that are similar to the average for MLB history, for example.265 AVG, .150 K/ AB, .025 HR/AB, 4.5 R/G (this would match 1977).

Or something else entirely... what do you think?

Cheers,
Markus
