I discovered OOTP Perfect Team in February of '19. The first incarnation of the Packwood Packrippers was born in the 2029 season. That season was a struggle, finishing 71-91 (0.438). After a slight improvement in 2030 (73-89, 0.451), the Packrippers finally played winning ball in 2031. Finishing at 85-78 (0.521), they made the playoffs for the first time; winning the Wild Card, but losing in the Division Series.

The next year the team would fall back to .500 ball and miss the playoffs. The breakout started in 2033. They would finish at 91-71 (0.562), but lose again in the Division Series. The next four years the team would win 99, 106, 91, and 112 games, but would not be able to advance to the Championship Series, and, thus no promotion.

Playoff luck would finally turned in 2038. Going 102-60 (0.630) during the regular season, Packwood finally made it to the Championship Series, but fell 3 games to 4. Though heart-broken, the team would be heading up to the Silver level for 2039. After 10 seasons in Bronze level, Packwood accumulated 911 wins against 710 losses, a 0.562 winning percentage and won their division 5 times. They were 28-33 (0.459) in 7 playoff appearances, winning 2 Division Series and 1 Conference Series.

Their time at the Silver level would be short lived. The tougher competition knocked their win total down to 89. But, 89-73 (0.549) was still good enough to win the division and make the playoffs. This time, the playoff gods were on their side as they marched their way to the Silver.356 League Championship!

The celebration was cut short as they had to gear up for the tougher competition of the Gold Level. Packwood finished a respectable 83-79 (0.512) in their first Gold season. But, trouble was brewing on the horizon. In 2041, their win total plummeted to 73-89 (0.451). And, for the first time, the Packrippers would feel the icy touch of DEMOTION!

After enjoying the tasty fruits of the Gold level, the Packrippers are in a bit of a malaise to start their second stint at the Silver level. They currently sit in 3rd place in their division at 14-15 (0.483), 3 games back. Hopefully, they'll snap out of it and return to form soon.

As for OOTP 20, that version of the PackRippers is just getting started....
