I've got 0 Lives on any of my 3 teams active rosters. I will have to go and clean up my tournament rosters though once the ML season starts, think I have a bunch on my Iron and Bronze tournament teams.
So far one of my teams made it through Silver 2 weeks ago, narrowly lost the championship series there, but they put up a sub .500 record in their first week in Gold. Seems they can stick there but it might be a few weeks before they are playoff worthy.
My other two teams both hit Silver last week for the first time but neither made the playoffs, they were both close to .500. One I think is ready to compete for the playoffs this week, the other may be a week or two away. I think the one that might compete now may be better than my Gold team.
I'm transitioning them out of the all-power, all-out offense teams they were in the lower levels, which I did to try to earn more PP, in to more balanced and better defensive teams. I also toned down my park effects for this week. I think I'll get a better idea of what I really have pitching wise now.
Have noticed that any pitchers with low CON ratings are becoming unusable, and low AvoidK guys are getting owned. It kinda sucks the AH went so crazy, it's making it harder to transition to new players. But it's also giving me a chance to see which cards I have might have spiked up in value and I'm selling some off and will hold the PP until either things settle down in general or if I can find some good deals even now in the middle of the AH madness.
I think Diamond will be like the previous edition's Perfect for me, I expect as a F2P player to eventually have teams that can stick there and sometimes make the playoffs, but that's about it. I don't ever see any of my teams winning a Perfect title, was able to win 3 in PT 20 (with a lot of luck).
