Looking for Twitch Drops? Follow these Affiliate Twitch Channels! (UPDATED for OOTP25)

[dishnet34]

I've seen a lot of people lately wondering where they can go to get Twitch Drops from Affiliate streams - well, wonder no more!

Now updated for OOTP25, below is a list of our excellent OOTP Twitch Affiliates, who create some amazing, informative and interactive OOTP content with both Perfect Team AND the base game, and will be able to give you Twitch Drops for Perfect Team when they play OOTP! Don't forget, you can get up to 5 packs per day by watching our affiliates!

This year, I figured we'd give them the opportunity to explain what they do in their own words, because I certainly cannot do what they do justice with simple "Franchise" or "Perfect Team" tags like I did a couple years ago, because what each of them does have their own flavor to it that makes them special!

(Please note: Schedules for streams vary per streamer, and they may also play games other than OOTP, which you should also check out and support! Check their local listings for streaming times in your area.)

To get drops, you can link your Perfect Team account to Twitch by going to https://pt25.ootpdevelopments.com/ and following the instructions to link your account. Then, when you watch these affiliates' streams LIVE, you can manually claim drops at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour and 1 hour and 30 minutes by going to the "Drops and Rewards" tab on Twitch! They will then shortly be added to your account. You can get an additional 5 drops in a day if the OOTPDevelopments Twitch channel streams as well! (Beginning April 21, we'll stream OOTP Baseball content Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday!)

-Cavacom
“Opening packs the slowest way possible and following the progress of multiple Perfect Teams thru the PT playoffs every Sunday.”

-Cheeki

-Crazycanuck1985
“I'm a variety streamer, and a casual baseball fan that absolutely loves OOTP. I primarily play franchise and love making fictional leagues and creating teams. I'm currently running a fictional Canadian Baseball League save and trying to guide my Vancouver Mounties to the Hoser Cup!”

-DA186
"Come hang out while we explore a mix of all OOTP has to offer! I'll be primarily doing a MN Twins franchise this year, as well as trying not to get embarrassed too badly in PT tournaments. I've been playing OOTP for 20 years and love to help people, so if you've got questions, ask away! Mostly streaming Wed-Fri nights and the occasional Sunday night. See you there!"

-Dishnet34
“While I mainly do non-OOTP content on my channel, I sometimes do some Perfect Team stuff away from the main OOTP channel, and one day I’m looking to stream a fictional league I’ve been cooking up for a few years.”

-DrDynastic
“Historical replays, celebrity guests, and pack giveaways are the name of the game on the Dynastic Channel. I'm a former TV and radio baseball announcer, and I do my best to make every OOTP matchup on Twitch feel like the real thing. Former MLB players like Jeremy Affeldt and Kevin Stocker are among the special guest stars who have hung out in Doc's Dugout for live broadcasts, with many more guests to come! And in the on-deck circle, a new fictional baseball league where YOU get to create and grow your very own players and teams on stream!”

-EVCinNYC2
"Welcome to Theme Team Central - I manage leagues of players who play Perfect Team with a subset of the cards (e.g. a franchise, teammates of your favorite player or just guys named Bob) as we compete for Theme Team championships.

Wednesday at noon ET: Guess the Set show - guess what content will come out each week and you can win packs - we cover all the bunk…er possibilities to help you win! Saturday at 11 a.m. ET: RIPaPACKaPALOOZA show - we rip over 100 packs every week across the teams and if you guess what I pull, you can win packs!

“OOTP After Dark! Focused on Willie Mays’ career in San Francisco when it isn't focused on player nicknames, cats, Wille Mays stories, and other tangents.”

-FKNCommishLB
“Going back as far as OOTP 5, eMLB has provided a top-shelf, storytelling experience. During these two decades, eMLB has strived for "The Perfect League" of management strategy, long term thinking, and a slow-moving Universe. eMLB 2.0 is a hybrid online league experience, featuring real life players (Constantly adding new ones), players from the original eMLB Universe from two decades ago, and Community Created Players (CCP). Our feature is "Game of the Day" done by a Commissioner (who does not run a team), and live managed by one of the GMs of the league.”

-Generalmanagergames

-Gorgo2005

-IRockThs
"I stream OOTP - both franchise mode and PT - with a focus on understanding the intricacies of the game. I create data models for PT tournaments, especially focusing on Iron most years. Also, I have cats, and they are definitely more important to my stream than I am."

“The Pro Baseball Experience is a simulation baseball league active since 2017 where every player is created and improved by a real person. You'll be involved in scouting, improve your player as part of an active team locker room, and eventually negotiate your contract. You'll make your way from the minors to the majors... and maybe all the way to the hall of fame.”

-PerfectTeamTournamentLab

-RespawnTV
“Franchise focused content revolving mainly around the creation of a sim centric expansion team while providing maximum viewer engagement.”

-RetroMLB

-RipleyTheOriole
"Rebuilding bad teams in Franchise and Historical mode and experimenting with the OOTP engine."

-SnaggleJ
“When I do stream OOTP, I focus on franchise mode, both historical and custom.”

-Sporer
“Paul plays both the base game and Perfect Team. With his base game franchises, he often focuses on rebuilding a struggling organization, an expansion team, or fantasy draft from scratch. He interacts with his chat on all the key trade, free agent, and lineup decisions and all playoff games are played out inning-by-inning. On the PT side, he focuses on silver and gold level tournaments and Perfect Drafts, including the famed "Imperfect Drafts" that are run throughout the community where we pick a particular roster restriction to follow as we build our 26-man rosters. He also does a big PTCS stream each month following his qualified teams.”

-SWAVCast

-TehSuigi
"Follow me for the Flying Purple Baseball Beaters, a Rockies restart every Wednesday, and starting in May, my first KBO save, the Saturday Soarin! I may also do a hastily thrown together Perfect Team stream here and there. Ask me about my fictional Japanese league, too!"

-thenolannetworkpodcast
"My OOTP streams will be focusing on Perfect Team & Perfect Drafts, Historical and Modern fantasy drafts, and "Worst to First," a running series where I will pick a year (for example, 2024) and try to win the World Series with the team who finished with the worst record the previous year (in this case, the 2023 Oakland A's)!"

-Xtoforas
"Xtoforas provides two types of programming. Nerds United is a stream focusing on Perfect Team tournament roster building, data analysis, and tournament rankings. Xtoforas, Astor31, (and sometimes FollowDurden) explain how to analyze formats, build rosters, and select players for various tournament formats. The other stream is TGS Insider which looks at The Grandest Salami online league featuring a bevy of ex top Perfect Team players as they vie for success in this base game sim.”

-YukarinKazami
"I lay there on the floor, trembling as my oppressive and suffocating panic steadily consumed me, trapping me in the chaotic maelstrom of my own hysteria. Also, CHAOS BASEBALL with Baseball Bingo on Saturdays."

Thanks for the list, Rob. So many affiliates this year, and a lot more opportunities to catch early or late streams!

[Cron007_m]

Great to have this list, do we need to watch live to get drops or can we go back and watch the recorded content?

Drops are given only when a streamer is live.

[dishnet34]

We've had a couple updates to the list since I first posted this; please welcome Minerva9398 and thenolannetworkpodcast to our Affiliate lineup! Their links are in the OP.

I’m new to all this and only just starting out in OOTP although I’ve had the 21 and 24 versions of the game without really being able to get into it due to technical issues.

How does this work to enable the receipt of the packs for watching affiliates?

Just updated the OP with that information, but you can go to https://pt25.ootpdevelopments.com/ to link your account to Twitch.

Many thanks for that. Very simple, I proudly should have just looked so I’ve done that straight away 👍🏼

[dishnet34]

Edited the list to add two of our newest affiliates, RipleyTheOriole and Cheeki! A warm welcome to both of them on joining our list of affiliates!

How do I go about setting up my second OOTP team to get Twitch drops? I have my main team setup for drops and I don't want to have to disconnect that team from Twitch. Thanks

The only recommendation I have for you is to create a second Twitch account and potentially use a second browser?

"But that's crazy/stupid"

Yeah, I do that with three accounts lol
