2) Change all the notifications settings to off. 3) Sim away. 4) Earn a pack in 0.5-1.5 seasons of sims (almost always pops at the awards at the latest). 5) Repeat for other team accounts. 6) Return to Step 1 in about 3 days. You'll make the playoffs 95% of the time with the '27 Yankees, have Ruth and Gehrig fighting over the Triple Crown categories (I actually benched Ruth once late in the season to give Gehrig the HR lead to win the Triple Crown), win the WS 50%+, and win multiple awards. There's probably 20-30 achievements you'll hit in 1 season with them. |

I think the developers should stop awarding packs for challenge mode. It is obvious that it is just being exploited and not used as intended. |

Limit 5x per team or something. That should probably get a few offline folks thinking more about trying PT without letting PT players collect 2 free packs a week ad unfinium. Last edited by DonkeyKongSr; 02-06-2019 at 01:26 PM. |

Why? There's already a 3 day or so cool down timer. It's not like you can just spam packs. 2 packs a week that take anyone 10 minutes per week to unlock isn't wrecking anything.

I consider it a tiny, tiny consolation to the FTP players. It's not nearly as much of an advantage as getting 75% bonus PP if you buy $100. Plus, every single player is allowed to do it, so no one has an advantage.

Every time I play, Gehrig ends up with something like a 15 WAR season. He's usually in the running for the Triple Crown, but is challenged in HR and RBI by Ruth and by Al Simmons for the batting title.

The system was established to encourage PT players to try the regular game. It is a reward for PLAYING the game, not for setting up a sim and paying no attention to it until you get the reward. That's why it is an exploit, not the team that is chosen.

If that's how you're defining an exploit then it an impossible issue to solve without just scrapping free packs all together. If you have a chance to get a pack from an achievement, a new game will always unlock more achievement than an old game. This is no big deal. You are more than capable of getting that one free pack every 3 or 4 days. There's already a cool down timer, it's not like selecting the 27 Yankees in Challenge Mode lets you easily get 100 packs.

Surprised not to see the Mike Schmidt 98 Historic All-Star card on the list.
There is one for sale right now in the AH that has no past sales record. I've never seen the card before in any of my leagues to be honest. |

I have my concerns that both "exploits" are resulting in a gaming experience the devs never intended. I also don't know this, so I leave it to them to make any course corrections. Worrying about it has no effect on me ultimately, other than to raise my blood pressure a bit if I let it.

As for the friends league with a self-imposed cap, to me, that's not an exploit any more than the "friends" league from the discord with all the crazy top rosters. Yeah, setting up both the Diamond and Perfect leagues to try to get the promotion/relegation into those leagues is probably something we didn't really intend or think of, but on the other hand, I don't see that as a problem. I mean, the first few months of the system we intentionally set up the promotion and relegation so that more often than not, teams moved together in order to promote rivalries. Now, if you set up your friend list with a bunch of top teams and 4 really crappy teams, with the intention that teams in the league can beat up on them to gain points, or to explicitly use those 4 as the expected teams to get relegated, then yes, I would consider that an exploit. But to me, if you can find 30 people willing to get together, put in the effort to set up the leagues, and use a self-imposed cap, I'm fine with that. If you can find 30 perfect league teams where none of you use a card higher than Bronze, I'm perfectly happy to have you set that league up. As long as everyone is playing fair, I'm happy to see you use the tools we give you to set up your own pool. |

The only opinion that matters as far as whether or not its a problem is that of the dev team themselves.
