Perfect Team Launches tomorrow (May 3), along with a patch to enable it in the game!

Markus Heinsohn · 05-02-2022, 11:34 AM

Update 4, May 4: OK, Entry pools have been created. Please log out and back in if it does not automatically update for you.

Simulations will start in 30 minutes.

Hey folks,

so good news, the public beta of the upcoming patch was stable and the issues on our simulation servers have been resolved, so we will launch both a patch and Perfect Team officially tomorrow.

Here's the launch plan:
Tuesday May 3 - Official PT23 Launch Day
At around 2-3 AM ET (essentially in the middle of the night) we will reset all PT23 beta teams and shut down simulation servers.

At around noon ET, we will release an OOTP 23 update (build 23.2.52), you will need to install this in order to access PT. The PT system will be reopened at the same time and you can register (using the same username & email combination to qualify for the loyalty rewards) and set up your brand new team again, open your starter packs (plus any bonus packs) etc. PP purchase will be available at that time, too. If you registered during the beta, you will need to register again!

At around 2 PM ET the first Entry Pool leagues get created and simulations start either exactly at that time or half an hour later.

Monday, May 9 - First promotion round
At the usual time (morning ET) we will start the first PT23 promotion round. This time, we will populate the first five levels (Rookie, Stone, Iron, Bronze, Silver) based on team winning % compiled in the entry pool. Teams with less than 30 games in the Entry Pool will automatically start at the Rookie level. Simulations will begin 10 AM ET, as usual.

IMPORTANT: Because of a new backend provider, your current OOTP 22 Challenge Mode / Perfect Team 22 account will NOT work in OOTP 23! You will have to create a brand new account. We also have a loyalty bonus program, which looks at your new PT23 account (username & email) and if this account has been active for previous Perfect Team versions, it gets the following bonus (skipping one version reduces the bonus to the next level):
Since Perfect Team 19: 2 Diamond, 1 Historical Pack, 1 Gold Pack and 1 Silver Pack
Since Perfect Team 20: 1 Diamond, 1 Gold Pack and 1 Silver Pack
Since Perfect Team 21: 2 Gold Packs
Since Perfect Team 22: 1 Gold Pack

The pre-order Gold Pack offer will expire May 9, and the loyalty bonus program on May 27.

If you completed the loyalty mission in PT22, you will need to log out and back in after ripping your starter packs for the Brooks Robinson card to show up.

IMPORTANT: In order to claim your username from a previous version of the game, you need to register with the same username and email that was originally used to create the account. If you register now using the same email but a different username than in a previous account, you will no longer be able to reclaim the old username. If you don't know the email address that connects to a specific username, you can log in to the Challenge Mode site with your account credentials, and you'll be able to see the email address linked to your account. You can also check out our video here that will walk you through the process of migrating your account.

OK... questions?

Cheers,
Markus

If we signed up with OOTP23 Beta do we need to re-register or simply just log in?

Ozzie7227 · 05-02-2022, 11:40 AM

Cheers, Markus! Congrats and a big THANK YOU to the entire OOTP team for your efforts to get us to Perfect Team 23.

You need to re-register. We will be wiping everything clean tomorrow morning.

Nope. Once we post the patch

Torgonius · 05-02-2022, 11:59 AM

Will we be able to see who we bought and sold in the Transaction Log?

Guancous · 05-02-2022, 12:15 PM

This looked like it was going to take far longer to solve

omg_pwnasaurus · 05-02-2022, 12:36 PM

Awesome news! Thanks to the OOTP team for all their hard work! I'm not a Perfect Team player but I respect the fact that so many of you do enjoy it. Looking forward to the historical fixes and sitting down with this great game for many hours once Steam pushes me the patch.

Cheers and thanks again for all your efforts (and patience), OOTP team!

Streaming any sneak previews of content tonight (Monday) on Twitch?

Ron2112 · 05-02-2022, 01:06 PM

If I'm playing a regular league in Challenge Mode, but have been offline for the last 10 days since launch. Once I log in to the servers, will my achievements get uploaded (or whatever happens to them)?

And thanks for the hard work, guys. Can't wait until tomorrow.

Rastandy · 05-02-2022, 01:29 PM

Is the steam update 7am also?

professor ape · 05-02-2022, 01:33 PM

Will the Live cards include the update such that the next Live update will be in early June as originally scheduled?

Yes.

I personally appreciate the oppo to re-register EVERYTHING. During the PT23 beta, I "accidentally" used the same email as my #2 account in PT22 on my "beta" account, so I thought that loyalty reward was lost forever. With the registration total refresh, I'll have the chance to make things right and get my PT22 #2 account the chance to move forward to PT23. Long live the Finneytown Wildcats, RIP to the Finneytown Fiddlesticks! I may resurrect the Fiddlesticks on my laptop once I install my second license on it and make them part of teams 4-6 pour moi. YIPPEE!!

gorgo2005 · 05-02-2022, 02:13 PM

Good grief, you can tell I don't post much here on the forums, my user name is only a Bat Boy.

gorgo2005 · 05-02-2022, 02:15 PM

And with the above post, I see I made Minor League Rookie Ball

Now here's a high potential prospect.

ncap99 · 05-02-2022, 04:48 PM

Exciting news! As much as I wanted to see Bert Blyleven win 100 games this season in the beta, I think I'd rather play the real thing. He still has an outside chance sitting at 91-57!
