That's smart, Markus.

Heh, heh, now the whales will need 4 copies of their favorite 500k PP cards.

Really, I think this new approach is better than before, in fact when OOTP 19 PT started a lot of users thought the cards already worked like that and did not like the actual concept of ratings based on X peak seasons. But of coure this is a matter where some others have a different opinion, that's to be expected. You cannot please everybody.

Markus, what would be great, and maybe pacify the critics of these Historical Legend cards, at least a little, would be if you'd tweak them in a manner so that the ranking of their overall ratings collections would mirror the All-Time greats list.

For example, Baseball-Reference has the top 20 all-time WAR leaders as: 1.Babe Ruth+ (22)182.5L 2.Cy Young+ (22)168.0R 3.Walter Johnson+ (21)165.2R 4.Barry Bonds (22)162.8L 5.Willie Mays+ (22)156.4R 6.Ty Cobb+ (24)151.1L 7.Hank Aaron+ (23)143.0R 8.Roger Clemens (24)139.6R 9.Tris Speaker+ (22)134.1L 10.Honus Wagner+ (21)130.8R 11.Stan Musial+ (22)128.2L 12.Rogers Hornsby+ (23)127.0R 13.Eddie Collins+ (25)124.0L 14.Ted Williams+ (19)123.1L 15.Pete Alexander+ (20)120.2R 16.Alex Rodriguez (22)117.8R 17.Kid Nichols+ (15)116.1B 18.Lou Gehrig+ (17)112.4L 19.Rickey Henderson+ (25)111.2R 20.Mickey Mantle+ (18)110.3B

If the Historical Legend cards turn out that these 20 players are the top 20 cards in the game, and in a similar order (and extend that logic through the next 20 and so on), well, then it becomes harder to argue against.

Regardless, I'm OK with it. At least until you drive me bankrupt!

Any hope that we can have some sort of "override quicksell" option for pack opening? As it stands, I'm set to automatically sell anything that's not at least a bronze (and some people are selling anything under a silver), but on rare occasions something pops up that I actually do want to keep (e.g. Terrance Gore or Tony Cloninger), but I'm stuck with the autosell unless I want to go back to manually selling all of my commons/irons.

Also could we potentially have a more formal method of requesting cards for addition to the game? The google form gets the job done and all, but I feel like there could be a better method for it. Chiefly, it would be nice to be able to see the suggestions of other users that have been made. From there, we could have a simple thumbs up system to add our support to others' ideas rather than the current system requiring a completely new submission of the same player. It would more easily allow the community to rally support around a potential addition, and also allow for more esoteric players to be added. While 20 people may not all readily think of say Jose Lima as a player they want to submit, 20 people may be willing to throw support behind the idea when they see someone else's submission.

These are both great suggestions! Thumbs up.

The best way to counter it is to not use platoons and have players who are good facing either handed pitchers.

I fear you may be right.

If that turns out to happen, it would take some fun out of the game (finding a good, productive platoon is very satisfying), reduce the skill level, and make teams all look more the same as they drop one-sided players.

Fingers crossed that won't turn out to be the case.

Will Future Legend 2019 cards also receive weekly rating updates, or are they static?

They better be static because stats would be all over the place depending on whether they're being aggressively challenged or not which doesn't really affect their prospect rating.

Speaking of FL, *drool* over Wander Samuel Franco's card. I didn't know Tampa had the next Honus Wagner.

yeah, those are some big shoes to fill.... lets see if he can live up to those ratings (definitely would be fun to watch if so)

Question: for the free gold pack on pre-orders, does that apply just once per license or would we get one per team if we activate all three teams on our license in the first week?

All quick sells should go to the auction house with the quick sell price set as the starting bid. This way, the card stays active in the game and AH is not neutered from hoarding in advance of collections/tournaments. Card stays out there until the first bid is made, then the auction would run 12 hours or something like that.

Yeah, we really need eight million iron and bronze cards on the auction house at all times ……….

I love Perfect Team! My question revolves around the transfer of PT usernames from OTTP19 to OTTP20. Specifically, I have two OTTP19 licenses, so I have 3 perfect teams for each license. So, currently I have "stans_cpa" through "stans_cpa6" PT teams inside OTTP19.

When I buy OTTP20 on Friday, should I still use "stans_cpa" through "stans_cpa3" so all my stats carryover into new program? (This is my preferred choice, since I've won 2 World Series trophy rooms!) Or, should I create "stans_cpa7" through stans_cpa9"?

Bottom-line, can you please compare and contrast inside new OTTP20/Perfect 2.0:

Option A - "stans_cpa" through "stans_cpa3" (carryover from OTTP19)
vs.
Option B - "stans_cpa7" through stans_cpa9" (newly created inside OTTP20)

In other words, which username/naming convention should I use? What are the pros/cons to each Option A or Option B. Or, is there really only one option that exists?

How about an OTP app for the auction house? So you can sell and buy and track auctions throughout the day when you're not near the computer

Anyone know how to sell multiple cards at the same time? When I check on the radio button and select more than 1, there is no option to sell when right clicking. I thought that was added for 20.

You can do that in the collection page. Due to technical reasons it doesn't work with the standard right click menu.

Dudes I'm so happy. Perfect Team is actually really fun. I was kinda doubtful and never tried in 19. Now I'm kinda addicted.

[bailey]

How about on your Bid History tab, the default sort for this page be Ending Time desc? That way your most recent failed bids will be on the first page instead of the last.

Question about playoffs. I am likely to make it-curious if fatigue resets or if I need to shuffle my pitching staff sometime tomorrow. As of now my best starter would pitch game 162 which looks like it will be a meaningless game.
