This entry pool may have some weird results. Many of my players got deactivated due to recent bug so the team moved from winning record to near losing (single catcher, exhausted bullpen, ..).

I am sure I am not the only one that ended up with lots of better players constantly getting de-activated.

As a result, this initial seeding may not be accurate if based on results /standing.

make sure he hits leadoff to maximize PP from leadoff HR, double and triple dingers.

Looks like the fix is in (no pun intended), so I need to decide.

No fun to bench Ruth, so he stays in. But I don't see myself surrounding him with the best that I can find. Probably gonna keep selling other good cards to stockpile points and see where I end up.

Yes, that was what my team with Ruth was caught up in.

That second part is basically me with my 1971 all-star Seaver. Only a 97 though.

The relevant part is that you agree not to "Cheat, deliberately lose, trade wins or Perfect Points, "feed" wins or Perfect Points from one account to another via the auction house or any other method, or otherwise fail to make a good-faith effort to play the game in a fashion intended to win via fair gameplay according to the intended operation of the game. "

It doesn't define "intended to win". Does that mean you must intend to win every single game, or intend to win championships?

Clearly things like intentionally using poor strategy are out.

What about roster usage? Is it poor faith not to use my best available players? What if I sell them for points so they are no longer my best available?

What about player acquisition? If I hadn't pulled Ruth and considered I might like to start in Iron, I'd be buying more packs, but obviously it's not a violation to NOT spend available money.

So far, I've been letting the AI set strategy, because I was opening packs, and then the bug came and I couldn't change strategy.

I know I can manage better than the AI, so am I breaking TOS if I just keep letting the AI run things?

Definitely some gray here.

Fun fact: As a two-way player, the AI has also inserted the Babe into my starting rotation.

He doesn't have the ratings to pitch well at the top levels, and it's more fun to see how many HR's he can hit, so I'll probably not use him both ways once league play begins.

Any opinions?


Since there seems to be some interest, I'll keep a running report on the Babe's progress through the levels.

There is a thread in the PT19 forums right now about people benching their top players and whether or not it is considered tanking. Based on many posts, some would indeed report you for not playing Ruth, since you are clearly not doing everything you can to win.

There is too much gray area.

In an Entry League? C'mon. No one would even bother looking.

I'd certainly hope so, but then again... Long story short, with the current state of the game (both in regards to the admins who refuse to clarify cheating and the busy-bodies who see cheating everywhere), the original question about benching Ruth was 100% appropriate.

I was asking myself a few weeks ago in OOTP19 Perfect Team.

What could possibly make American Angels even harder to beat?

This is what I get for putting that out in the universe. You're welcome. :-)

Actually, I didn't bench Ruth. I played him. Because like you said, clearly benching him would be intentionally tanking. But I sold my other good cards on the Auction House, leaving Ruth surrounded by Irons. I would argue that every card is more valuable early on, so I was trying to "Sell High" to make my team better, then use the points to buy better cards later.... which, in fact, I did, after the Ruth plus Irons were seeded in the bottom level.

LOL, Indeed, thank you very much!

FYI, I'm not running an American Angels franchise in PT20, at least until after the real life regular season ends. Using that slot for an all-LIVE team instead, just to see how well I can do. (Not expecting much since the historical cards are a) better and b) stable.)

Look for Babe Ruth to beat you on a team named after a House or place from Game of Thrones.
