Would a league created in a previous version *in Challenge Mode* and ported forth to OOTP 19 work?

I think it would, IIRC.

So looking forward to giving this a shot. The other games ultimate modes have left me cold, requiring way to much grinding. I like this approach better.

I agree... when I play MLB the Show's Diamond Dynasty I am confused as heck about the three "currencies" (Stubbs, Tickets, XPs) or how to accomplish missions etc. It's way too much for me (maybe I am getting old) and the interface is a nightmare. In Perfect Team the goal was to design it straight-forward, so it's easy to dive in and have some fun.

I have no problem with the currency and I understand their program and mission structure. The problem with MLB The Show, especially this year, is the sheer amount of active time they expect you to spend in the game to accomplish even the simplest of missions.That and the fact that flipping cards for a profit seems almost mandatory to advance some of their programs.

Thanks for the information! Is this ever going to be available to the LInux users? I'm afraid there is going to be more and more features lacking from the Linux version in the future ...

No, I am sorry. The service provider we use for the technology does not support Linux.

It sounds (from another answer) like purchasing PPs will be enabled (on some platforms) during the open beta. If that's correct, and something bad does happen causing things to be reset, will purchases be refunded/have the PP added back to the account, or will any spent PP be lost in the reset? i.e. is it safe to purchase and spend PPs during beta, or will there be some risk of loss if something goes haywire and things are reset?

It'll be save. It's technically impossible the PP get lost, even if we have to reset the servers (which is extremely unlikely) we can recover the PP.

Thanks for the update guys, looking forward tp trying it out.

Looking forward to it. My offer of fielding the Hamburg Hammers for closed beta access is still on the table

By the way, for OOTP 20 we hope to include Perfect Team in our mobile baseball game MLB Manager, too. So you can manage your team on the go, cross-platform.

Yes! That’d be a great plus!

getting closer and close to late october, any chance we will here an official beta release date any time soon?

neugey · 10-15-2018, 05:30 PM

Looks like fun. One thing I am wondering - would it ever be possible for an OOTP customer to have more than one Perfect Team? This could be for someone might want to have the best team possible they try to get to the Major Leagues with, but then also have another team that is for fun, maybe focusing on their favorite players or players fitting a theme like All-Time Cardinals.

No. But we will have tournaments soon, so your Perfect Team can participate in different competitions (with different rules) at the same time.

Will these tournaments be happening in parallel to your normal perfect team league and will you be able to setup your lineup differently in the two competitions.

For example: In my next few games in my league I'm facing some right handed pitching but in the tournament I'm up against a lefty.
