As I see it, there's been no problem with Perfect Team so far. Franchise has not been neglected at all. There's just no reason to blindly go off at a mode that has done the game no harm. And it probably makes a ton more money that can go back into the game. I understand that there's concern that if it makes enough money, the team will only focus on it. Which is valid, and we've seen it with other games such as Madden, NBA 2k, etc; however, I think that we've seen enough from Markus and the team from these 23 years to trust them enough to handle something like this appropriately. Let Perfect Team be.

I do not presume to tell you how to feel or act, but as someone who sympathizes with you I will share my perspective. Personally, I just accept the situation for what it is, and also remember that the company does not owe me the game that I would want. If they insist on promotion that asks you to deny the undeniable, I bear it as the nature of product marketing. If other players need to believe that OOTP is the one game that has managed to embrace a micro transaction element without the main game becoming the proverbial wagged dog, I know there is no benefit to wasting my time in quixotic efforts to puncture the dissonance. All that ultimately matters is that I know the score and it most likely will be the same tomorrow. Then, it is just a matter of whether knowing this I am content with continuing to pay for a ticket. |

I am personally very happy with how the series has progressed after the acquisition. I think that the core game has progressed a great deal. I was initially skeptical after hearing the OOTP 23 new features, but after sinking in hundreds of hours, I realized how dramatic the difference between 23 and 22 is in terms of the simulation engines. I'm having more fun than ever before playing OOTP 23. Hell, I even learned how to program to develop a tool for it to judge undervalued players. Personally, I love the 3D improvements that the game has made since the Com2Us acquisition. There is a staggering difference between OOTP 21 visuals and OOTP 23 visuals. I get that playing out 3d games isn't for everyone, but the stadiums look crisp and clear, and the animations look fantastic. That's not to say that it's perfect, but the improvements have been staggering. Whether or not that's a product of Com2Us is a legitimate question, but I think that it is. Not to praise them too much since I'm still a little but skeptical considering the other games that they've published, but I think that the partnership has been great. Everything that Markus has said since day one of the OOTP Com2Us partnership has remained true. You can go back and check. There's no reason to doubt Markus and the team, especially considering the upgrades to the game since Com2Us acquired OOTP, Markus's track record, and the fact that literally nothing we've seen so far from Com2Us with OOTP has been bad. Nothing. When judging things like this, it's important to have a clean slate. When the deal first happened, I did not. But after considering everything that's happened for (almost) two years, I'd say that it's time to give Com2Us a fair chance.

I don't like Com2Us as a company, but it seems as if they haven't had a huge impact on OOTP.

I have no opinion on Com2Us as I'd never dealt with them before the OOTP purchase. They've done nothing since buying OOTP to make me have a negative opinion and I hope that continues. For those that say one is naive to think PT has no affect on OOTP proper, fair enough. Just don't be so naive as to think PT has not had a positive affect on OOTP proper. Both games do things that benefit the other. |

It is naive to think the profits from PT will go into development.
It my go into cigar chomping execs I have no proof, but i highly doubt devs is a full time job on ootpb....probably a cross between different products. That is why after 23 years I can't get all the stats like baseball ref. It is not communicated what the vision is. At least with Strat i know there is no vision and they will overcharge for a static a product : ) |

You REALLY want to feel how far the game has come? Run VirtualBox with WinXP and load up the free version of OOTP 8, if you can still find it. Then...count how many times in the first 10 minutes of play you look for something that isn't there. Remember...no PT, no 3d, random debut, are gone right off the bat. For me, the game has come so far that Version 8 is unplayable because I'm so used to all the wonders of 23. Heck, look at GO, which has more features as a phone app than 8 did.
I do miss the atmosphere of the forums from those days though.

Season Ticket Baseball was my first exposure. My little brother got it for Christmas when I was home from college. I watched him play it and was impressed with the customization and depth. I ripped a copy to take with me to school (sorry Markus! I was young). Saw 07 online a few years later, remembered good times, and have bought the game almost every year since.
