Do you know how much are going to cost Perfect point?

[Markus Heinsohn]

Yes. Prices will be very similar to other games of this kind. Here's how the Perfect Point Shop will look like:

I hope OOTP makes a lot of money with this game, Markus and team certainly deserves it, all the hours of hard work that goes into this game is amazing.

Thanks! The more money we make, the more we can invest back into the game

What are you going to do with all that PP Markus?

I think this is what people need to understand with a mode like this Markus and the OOTP team can use this money to reinvest into the game itself, only improving it.

However, I think the concern from other games is that if this grows into such a "Cash Cow" and brings in more revenue than normal OOTP sales, that the normal game mode may take a back seat to PT. Not saying it would happen but I think that's the concern from what I have seen in other games to where Franchise mode and other things are not focused on.

Regardless, OOTP is great and PT has been an awesome time!!

That is a very valid concern based on the history of other sports games with ultimate team modes. I know as a long time MLB: The Show fan that I feel the game is all about that mode now.

Yup, exactly. I used to love playing franchise/dynasty mode. But now their focus (And other companies) is on the Diamond Dynasty/Ultimate Team mode. So while I love PT and how it can bring OOTP tons of revenue, I just hope the DEV team doesn't lose focus of the main game mode.

No worries

How much long before we can purchase PP????????????

The idea of facing a team this week with 175k points makes me nauseous. The game's fun right now, with everyone on an equal playing field.

I assume that when PP goes on sale, prices for players will increase by fair amount. As of now, if someone were to buy the 175,000 PP; they could essentially have a top tier team.

Relegation and promotions should help keep the playing field relatively competitive, but I assume it will take a few seasons to work itself out. As everyone starts the journey in the same league.

Right, it's going to take longer than the beta runs to sort itself out. The initial impact on a free to play player is going to feel terrible. $10 is going to buy more packs than a lot of people have opened so far.

It's fun and well paced right now. Really hope you offer some type of mode that ensures a true level playing field at some point, I'd gladly pay to enter that league.

I feel you - franchise modes have gone utterly down the drain as companies seem to focus solely on the multiplayer modes.

But if there's one company that I have utter faith in to not fall into that trap, it's OOTP. Markus hasn't led us astray in almost two decades.

I agree. I also think the fan base OOTP has is a little different than Madden, Fifa, or MLB The Show

They will be this game's version of the Yankees and Red Sox. Always buying players other teams can't (or won't).

No offense to anyone, but if you drop $99 on bloody pp there should be a requirement that you post this fact on the forums so that we can make fun of you.

That said, I hope lots of people spend $99 on bloody pp so that this game could have an absolutely unprecedented budget. Could you imagine OOTP with AAA money funding behind it?

[Maddox]

Over the course of the season I can see plenty of people spending that.

I agree. A lot of people have spent thousands in other similar modes. While I do find it crazy at times, some people look at it as a hobby. Instead of going out and spending $100 at a bar or something similar, they put it into a game they like and competitive game mode.
