Returning after a LONG absence, looking for old friends!

jaysdailydose · 12-15-2020, 09:44 PM

Hey everyone! Long time no see, if anyone remembers me, which is the hope of my post.

I hadn't played in many years, but I just recently saw the new Perfect Team, and heard that they'd really improved some things, so I am back.

I hope to return to being the positive influence on the forums I once was, though I'm unsure with how much the game has progressed, if my expertise is even valuable anymore.

(For those that don't know, I did a lot of work and testing back in the day in order to help people set the budgets they wanted to use for ALL teams in their saves, and also did a lot of Random Debut testing.)

I'm going to be purchasing a website now that I am older, too, and hopefully re-creating my old "Level Playing Field" save, and just a place where people who are BoxScoreAddicts can go.

Anyway, it is good to be back, and I hope there are still some old friends here nowadays. Here's guessing I will see you in Perfect Team to start, as that is the first place I am headed!

And I remember you!

Thanks!

I'm definitely enjoying Perfect Team so far. I didn't know the game was on sale, so thinking I was spending $29.99 and only spending $19.99, I got two Gold packs to help start my team and pulled a 91 Rube Waddell to lead my rotation.

I won my first game behind Waddell's usual brilliance, with him working eight and only giving up a single earned run. Mike Gonzalez got the save, and Henry Rodriguez hit the game-winning two-run blast in the first inning.

1-0, baby!

I've already put together a decent team, I'm excited!

Good to be back!

Hey!

Glad you're back. Good to see you again and glad you're enjoying PT!

Good to see you as well, Sir! My first night of PT in the books and we're currently 17-6 and hold a 1.5 game lead in the Entry Pool League.

Got about 2,200 more PP during the night as well, so heading on to improve them now!

I'm still excited to fire up my old "Level Playing Field" league and get this website started, though!

I'm now in the process of joining the Discord, I'm always willing to help anyone in need with questions, I've been a player of OOTP since the beginning, essentially, so I have a lot of knowledge on the game, and if I can help anyone, I'm happy to do so.

As far as Perfect Team, I want to put down full disclosure and say that with my initial purchase of the game included, I have spent $91.09 on the game. Here's what I have been able to assemble.

I have changed my team name due to going through the Nicknames Project that I used back in the day, and it is every bit as amazing as it was. I switched my name and we are now the Motor City Marshals! That will be my team name for the duration now.

At time of writing, we are 116-50 in our Entry Pool League. We're technically second to an amazing squad in the New Philly Phankees, who have come in at a blistering 70-16. I'm not exactly sure how the promotion works but I think I'll go up, I led most of the way until he came into the picture -- and deservedly so, his team is amazing and I'd be curious how much more he spent than I did at the start here.

Motor City Marshals: (*=Current Starter)

C - J.P. Realmuto (96)*
C - Buster Posey (79)
1B - Jeff Bagwell (97)*
1B - Andres Galarraga (88)*=DH
2B - Brian Roberts (89)*
2B - Jeff McNeil (79)
3B - Nolan Arenado (95)*
SS - Francisco Lindor (96)*
SS - Trea Turner (89)
SS - Corey Seager (89)
LF - Giancarlo Stanton (87)*
CF - Mike Trout (100)*
CF - Jackie Bradley Jr. (78)
RF - Bobby Bonds (89)*
RF - Darryl Strawberry (79)

SP - Max Scherzer (99)
SP - Stephen Strasburg (98)
SP - Noah Syndergaard (95)
SP - Randy Johnson (95)
SP - Rube Waddell (95)

CP - Mike Gonzalez (89)
SU - Aroldis Chapman (96) (He just came in, M.G. had 38 saves, 2.07ERA)
SU - Heath Bell (85)
MR - Pierce Johnson (78)
MR - Tex Carleton (82) (Just pulled him finishing Gold Pack mission)
LR/ES - Rick Porcello (79) (Just recently demoted to long reliever as I finished my Diamond rotation, he was great all season. 29 starts, 32 total appearances and he is 17-4 with a 4.08, a 1.19 WHIP and 2.8 WAR)

-----

I originally bought the two Gold Packs to get me off and running. The rest I purchased points, and went for immediate player upgrades and started trying to work the Auction House to get some easy Mission work done.

The wife and I didn't break the budget with me getting off to a good start, and if I was playing NBA2K for instance, I'd have instantly spent $110 to get a MyPlayer up to even an 85 Overall... so I look it as money well spent. Especially since I am going to start that website and really delve into baseball, as I'm permanently disabled so I have nothing but time. I think I'm going to restart my stream on Monday with OOTP as my full-time stream gig, and have some fun on there talking baseball.

Especially with everything going on in the world, talking baseball and box scores is a great escape.

It is good to be back!
