As someone who has lots of experience playing card collecting modes, there is always the human element. Stacking your team doesn't help much if you don't have proper strategies set, a good line-up, balance, etc. While having top-tier cards certainly gives a user a good starting base, its not everything. At the end of the day, you still need to be able to manage to succeed

Edit: And then it of course gets "confirmed" since 5 users got their perfects only opening packs during those hours, completely disregarding the fact that it wasnt possible for them to get perfects at any other times since they only open the packs at their specific time in the first place.

Well now you've promised and I will be disappointed if this doesn't happen. You could also lump all the "the AI cheats" and "simming gives different results than playing the games out" people into there too.

Suggestion: how about setting up financial tiers of leagues with financial caps for buying PP. That way, those who want to spend megabucks on PP can compete with others who want to do the same. Other "budget" tiers can limit how many PP one can buy in a season -- allowing those of us with less deep pockets to still be competitive.

It might just be me but once I reached the top I want to stay there, going to a lower level will make me lose interest. |

That's disappointing. Within a few seasons I think most everyone will have great cards. I think challenge leagues of some kind would add some spice to the mode. Not to mention that half of the cards in the game will be pointless shortly after release. |

They've already talked about themed tournaments, though it wouldn't be until OOTP20.

Not everyone. I still only have one gold as my highest card. My team is leading the division by one game but they do not generate a lot of Perfect Points.

Continuing to prove that the results in this game are unpredictable and do not hinge on what you've spent/acquired. |

I had a diamond player, well pitcher and my team sucked. I sold him and bought wisely and was rewarded with a team that is playing great. Loads of silvers and just pulled a 86 Cain for the outfield though he is off to a rocky start

For what it's worth, I don't think I'll be playing Perfect Team as I just think allowing players to purchase points defeats any incentive to try to win on a level playing field and allows players to buy their way out of poor management decisions. I am sure it will be a fine money maker for OOTP, and there is nothing wrong with that.

With a whole year you could get to Perfect Level and compete without ever spending a dime. I have 2 getting good FTP teams in Diamond Level. Every week I sweat them getting promoted before I am ready because they make the playoffs in Diamond. They are this far in a couple months. Worrying about what other teams spend is self defeating. But do what you want, just have fun.

I can tell you that just because someone has spent money doesn't mean they will win. There are plenty of players with clear money spent that are terrible managers. Its actually highly amusing.
Also like Kushiel I have one team where i spend and one where I don't and it isn't hard to get close to perfect level without spending money. My dad has his own free team and he's looking likely to be promoted to diamond this season after only like 4-5 weeks. If you get OOTP 20 when it comes out, you'll easily have months and months of time to get to the level you want. Ultimately it comes down to your ability, not money spent except perhaps at the absolute best handful of teams. Chances are you won't be in a league with them except once in a great while.

If you have a team that spent $50 going up against a team that spent $1000 in the same division, you'll be lucky to go more than 3-16 against them. And that doesn't mean you can't beat them in the playoffs either, but you're relying solely on luck to do it. When you only spend $50, you don't have a ton of options on reserve to change your team to match up better. There also are not many innovative strategies that you can use to beat a perfect Pedro. Also, there is no difference whatsoever in spending $1000 and getting super lucky with packs and getting $1000 worth of cards for $50. Last edited by zrog2000; 03-06-2019 at 12:32 PM. |
