In your experience last year, how did you keep your friends' teams together so you could compete against each other in Perfect Team? (This ties into my point above.) Could you somehow keep your friends' teams together throughout a season? Does Perfect Team have a traditional standings, playoffs, winner, etc?

I was referring to the fact that at the end of the season several teams get promoted to the next higher level while some teams get demoted.
After a few weeks of play (once all levels have been filled) as many as 4 teams get demoted and 2 teams get promoted.
In other words, if you all build the league in Bronze level and most teams stay there, you will lose some friends to silver level and some will be demoted to iron league.
We started our league in Perfect league after all teams managed to get promoted all the way to the top league. Then we also found another 30+ teams that created a similar league in Diamond. So all the Diamond teams that got promoted made it to the Perfect friends league and the ones from Perfect got demoted to the friends league in Diamond.
You keep teams together by adding your friends teams „as friends“ to a list and after the season, the server code will try to bring all the friends together in one league and then fill it with other teams to make sure you get a full league.
Then this league remains the same for one season (1 week. A new game is simulated every 30 minutes).
Mon-Sat is the regular season and Sunday are the playoffs (6 division winners + wildcard teams). By Sunday night one team will be crowned champion for that season.
It can be a ton of fun to watch your team during the week.
However, Perfect Team is not as deep as the regular version. You have more options (example: you can have a team with all its minor teams so you can watch players move through your organization from rookie league to majors or make trades with other teams). Trades are not allowed (to prevent cheating) in Perfect team. Instead, you build your team through opening new card packs or getting new players in the auction house.
Example: you want the 77 rated Keith Hernandez card, you will have to gain/collect a certain number of points and then bid/buy him.
Each version of the game has its strength and weakness. Personally, I like the long tradition seasons in OOTP when I am traveling and don’t have internet connection.
While for a less involved type of play (set your team and strategy and then walk away), Perfect team is great. It does all the work and I get to check in on how I am doing when I have some spare time.
I don’t need to be there to play it.
