That's right, we did play last year. I remember the Puppies. They were a tough team and it was a close series.

mcdog512 · 04-21-2019, 02:33 PM

I friended you, hopefully we can duke it out next week in Perfect.

How are the Puppies doing this year?

Look up mcdog512 Fighting Saints - if we both aren't listed as friends we son't be placed in the same league. I think you also need to set "friends" instead of random. So will you be getting promoted to Perfect?

My #1 seed lost to the Wild Card team too, in 4. Argh. I feel your pain.

My #2 seed is down 2-O in the league championship series.

My other team is, well, probably fishing - finished a bit below .500.

But but I thought the game this year rewards those who adjust their lineups and pay attention i feel, especially against the perfect pitchers bla bla.. what happened??

Dont forget to change your League Placement Setting. The default is random.

This is only my second week in PT and this is what I can expect as I move up? For whatever it's worth I did win my iron league with this team so maybe I got put into a harder division? I don't know. I'm a few games under .500.

My other two teams are fairing much better (in iron and bronze).

But this makes me worry a bit about how pay to win and unbalanced this game will get as I move up.

Yeah...tell me if this the same...he had Cy Young 100 card and Cy was 22-0 1 year & 26-2 the folling year. the team im referring was 141-21. This team was put together aal of a sudden bc I looked thru his cards & players had 2-3 years of accumulated stats. Had a load of weaker cards in his reserve roster. i wonder how you sorted oout whether u get promoted. by record or by card value. I'm not even close to enjoying PT 20 better than PT 19 even with as many issues 19 has. Pitchers are trash. get hammered all the time. Sale finished year like 5-15 with a 6.00+ ERA

I personally love the "imbalance" between ptw and free players. Although you still need sound strategy with unlimited points, masterminding a team with no money spent and somehow finding a way to beat teams that, at a glance, should whoop you is a lot of fun. To the guys spending the bucks in the game, I say "thank you". You are insuring there will be a PT21 and when I finally scratch my way into your leagues, I hope to at least make a good showing. To those not spending the money, you don't need to for this to be a rewarding game. Whether you win a Perfect League or win a Bronze League, you still had to earn it. Knowing you earned it through auction house wizardry, a lucky pull or two, or masterminding the perfect combination of cards available to you should be award enough.

That is exactly how I feel. I feel good knowing that someone had to spend money to beat me, and I feel good when I miraculously knock one of those guys off. And, yes, big thanks to the whales who keep the auction house going and the franchise going strong. I love this game!

CrazyWR · 04-22-2019, 01:06 PM

Thats how I look at it too Mudster. I did a free team in PT 19, just got to perfect last week and managed to stay up, it felt good. I've put some money into my team this year and made perfect in 20 and um...I didn't put in nearly as much as the rest of my division and am expecting to lose 120. But thats okay, its a long year.

Well, the sledding is tough in Perfect. I'm sitting at .500 with a pretty stacked team, looks like I gotta upgrade my pitching some. You had some big time early success but seems like the Puppies faded a bit.

Fierce competition.
