OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - How is your team doing? I am the worst in the league

I was also nearly the worst team in my league (at least as of last night). My only gold player, Jose Altuve (89!), was hitting about .210, my ace was Jeff Samardzija, and both my rotation ERA and bullpen ERA were above 6.00.

In the core game, as in real life, there would be hope for the future. I could trade for prospects, I would have a high draft pick, and some bad contracts would come off the books. That's the self-correcting negative feedback loop in MLB.

I'm super intrigued by Perfect Team, but it does not seem to offer any hope for teams with a bad first draw. There are no prospects, no drafts, no player development, and the auction house isn't exactly free agency. The only two strategies I see are to pay American dollars for better players (and there's nothing wrong with that) or nuke the team from space and start again from scratch. I guess I just wish the long-term enjoyment of Perfect Team were less dependent on the initial draw.
