Tournaments with a 1st prize of 2K PP don't really do anything for me. I can get that a lot easier by watching a stream for a half hour.

I wind up playing a mix though because it's frustrating to sign up for a tournament, then have it sit idle for 11 hours. I also like to watch the results and maybe tinker with my lineups depending on matchups and fatigue, but that's difficult since 11 hours in the future, I'll probably be sleeping, at work, or otherwise busy with something else.

You can get PP by watching a stream?

You can get up to 5 packs a day by watching OOTP streams. Those 30 cards can be turned into PP.

As multiple people have suggested, I would also like a second or third PD spot to register for daily/weekly/monthly tournaments, with one reserved just for the regular quick drafts.

Dennis Eckersley ate Pop Lloyd’s soul

This is a rather strange bug (I posted it in the bugs forum). I drafted Lloyd in the third round of a recent draft, and he shows up in the boxscores. But on the roster, it’s Eck, in all his Eck glory.

(He’s also a terrible shortstop.)

I’m curious if anyone has seen this before.

Hey Kris, I was just wondering if there's any drop-rate at all for positions in the drafts. I ask because I just did a draft where the only catcher I saw from the first silver round until the end was 58 overall Paul Florence. I hadn't drafted a catcher yet and I didn't want to only have one who gets super tired out, so I just didn't draft any to see what would happen.

I get that it's supposed to be as close to completely random, but would it be possible to have a once-per-draft re-roll type thing just on the common cards so this type of thing doesn't happen?

(Other than this one time, I love the drafts and kinda prefer them to normal tournaments where I see basically all the same teams over and over.)

It was figured out at some point that you get 10 players at each of the (non-pitcher) positions over the full draft). It's heavily recommended to count the catchers that show up so you don't get left holding the bag.

Didn't know that, I must've had some terrible luck then. I definitely remember one of my diamond rounds had three catchers in it, but the one with the highest catcher ability was Yogi Berra. All the catchers had to have been gold and above, and I basically never draft catchers gold or above so this is super helpful info, thanks.

How often do the Daily Perfect drafts get added? Every 2 hours?

With the tournament reword collections. these daily drafts are filling fast.

jd200600 · 11-23-2021, 09:12 AM

Is there a way to leave a draft? I had drafted my team, but the entry is not going to fill any time soon. I was the 2nd person in last night and we have only added 2 more teams.

If you've already drafted, there isn't a way to withdraw, as far as I can recall.

Oof, thanks for the info. Still at 3 of 32 signed up 12 hours later.

Daily Doubles are very popular. Please set up all drafts this way.

Could you explain how that works?

This video will help explain how it works and what you can do to set up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNODPI0PdZw

Once your Twitch account is linked to your OOTP Challenge Mode account (the one you use to log into PT) using the steps in the video, you'll have to manually claim drops on either the official OOTP streams or the OOTP Affiliate streamers (of which I am one of many) every 15-17 minutes or so. You can get up to 5 standard packs (from affiliate streamers) and 5 silver packs (from official OOTP Twitch streams except FHM) every day. Those packs, after maybe a brief delay of a few minutes or so, will be automatically applied to your account.

Thank you very much

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I followed all steps, everything worked but even though I watched two videos from OOTP as well as your latest (really well done

) I didn't receive a single drop

HomerD · 12-26-2021, 07:22 AM

Replays no good.

Torgonius · 12-26-2021, 11:06 AM

There are affiliate streamers, who also generate packs, that stream at all hours of the day. There is one going on right this very second: https://www.twitch.tv/skepskepskep
