Season 8 (2026) Discussion: 1/21/19-1/27/19
Good luck everybody for season 8!
My poor Stade Black Sox missed promotion to Silver because they got eliminated in the first playoff round. Sigh. Well, hopefully this year I'll make it out of the cellar, let's go Bronze .236! Don't miss tonight's Perfect Team show (8 PM ET) on our Twitch channel, and tomorrow (Tuesday, 8 PM ET) we will have a special Call to the Hall show where we will be revealing awesome new cards for this year's Hall of Fame class. That show will be a must-see. Here's the channel: https://www.twitch.tv/OOTPDevelopments/ Cheers! Markus

The Hoboken Zephyrs are now in Silver .252. I'm in the same division as the team that lost in the Bronze Series during the Zephyrs first season. He made the silver playoffs last year but missed out on promotion. Looks like I'll be in for a good fight for the NC East crown, though on the surface he has the better team.

Team 1: After getting upset in the first round of the playoffs my 109 win team is still in bronze. (Bronze .261) It will be interesting to see if I can repeat the success.
Team 2: The Winterfell Direwolves held their own for the first few months of their inaugural Diamond season fell back to earth but still finished 85-77. They are now in Diamond .372 Team 3: The Macon County Cardinals made it to the wildcard game in their gold league but failed to advance so they did not get promoted and are in Gold .357 |

Base Stealers P405 - after leading each previous league in steals, my sons team
finally made it all the way to Perfect. He will have a blast looking at Fargo Sun Dog, the top team in the PT universe. Silver Pirates P412 - after an unsuccessful 2 year stay in Perfect, the team is back for a second time. The team continues to utilize only Silver batters. But this time, the rules have been adjusted to allow better than Silver pitchers. Knuckleballers - D370. Dickey, Niekro, Wood, and Wynn are still trying to make it to Perfect. However, I am afraid without another influx of Knuckleballer talent (praying for some more cards), more pitching struggles in 2026. Wood has been stellar the last two years while RA Dickey continues to give everyone gray hairs. At least he improved from a negative (.8) WAR to positive (.7) but his movement rating will continue to produce a 1.3 - 1.8 HR/9. |

But based on the number of complaints we have seen about being stuck in leagues with whales I am not sure the results would have been any different. |

Nashville Expos - eked into the playoffs and won the Wildcard, then were promptly swept in the division series. This will be the start of week 4 in Perfect Level for the Expos who have been revamped to pound the gap and field the ball.
Kansas City Royals (All Royals legends) - won 113 regular season games and landed in the World Series taking a 3-2 series lead back home only to lose in Game 7 in the top of 9th. After barely missing promotions for 3 weeks in Silver the squad has been moved up Gold Level. Nashville Sounds - scored a bunch of PP in Entry level and are looking to be heavily favored in Bronze level with their combination of Contact and Defense. This game has been a joy to play. Thank you! - Branchricky22/Branchrickey/Branchricky |

Sorry to hear your Black Sox didn’t make the cut Markus, but then maybe not so sorry as that probably means your working very hard on OOTP Go and OOTP 20! You have my permission to focus on your Stade Black Sox when those other two aforementioned projects have been perfected!!!
My Apple Dumplin’ Gang finally made Perfect with a stellar 111 win season in its 4th Diamond Season capping it off with a 4-1 WS win! Apple Dumplin’ Gang first WS win was in the Bronze League. Looking forward to Perfect League challenge, prolly gonna be chicken feed to start. Have fun everybody! |

Im sure youll tell me Im wrong, but after playing this for 2 months I dont think PT plays the same as OOTP. I have too many players, like a 1921 Ruth (2nd best WAR ever) that hits .220 and 20 hrs. I think if I was willing to take the time and re-create the league I was just in, in a fictional OOTP league, that the all-time HOF players would perform much better than they do in PT. I get that most teams are loaded with stud pitchers. But these are stud hitters and while I dont expect a Ruth or Mantle or Williams to put up the numbers, they should be doing better than some of these gold players I see. Its a big turn off.

Yes...and with adjustments....while stats wont be the same....a card like the 1921 Ruth should still out perform 90% of all other hitters accordingly. Otherwise, what is the point of basing ratings on real-life performance and then apply a factor to make all seasons even across the board over all eras of baseball.

Was a 93 win Diamond team last year and lost in the WC game to an 85 win team.
This year my division has a 119 win Gold team, a 90 win Diamond team, a 109 win Diamond team and an 80 win Diamond team. Was able to add Posey, Kluber and Mesa in the bullpen between years. Hopefully that will be enough to at least get another WC spot. |
