![]() Scott Oberg is a great pickup for the bullpen and will be a prominent piece at the backend and perhaps the closer as I mentioned earlier. Steven Matz’s Movement rating is his weakness (51), but he’s a groundball pitcher which can help mitigate allowing too many homers when the Movement is under 65. The very next pack delivered a pair of silvers with a lefty starter and our potential closer. I was just sitting in my apartment by myself – not on my Twitch stream or anything – but I definitely audibly cheered and elicited a glare from Charlotte ( my dog) who seemed to know I was too excited about a virtual baseball card for a computer game simulator. I’ll admit, I was pretty geeked to pull this card. Holy smokes!! Six packs into the 22 supplemental packs, my first diamond comes through and just like that Yde is relegated to our #2. Most were duds and didn’t even contain a silver, let alone a gold or diamond. From here, I opened 22 more, but I’m not going to take you through each one as that’d be boring for all of us. He immediately becomes our ace.Īlright, the six starter packs are set. Like so many from that era, he had a comically low strikeout rate at 7%, but that was good enough for 33rd among the 69 nice qualified starters. He threw 194 innings with a 2.83 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, finishing 16-3 and leading baseball with 4 shutouts. ![]() The lefty starter only had three full seasons with his debut in 1924 being the best and actually landing 21st in the MVP voting. I had no idea who Emil Yde was before getting this card. Dickson’s only weakness is Control with a 47 rating so if he can work around his walks, he’ll be a solid 3-4 starter. Pitchers have three main ratings to focus on – Stuff (related to K potential), Movement (related to HR suppression), and Control (related to BB potential). He’s one point from being a gold (80-89) and barring a run of major pulls in our remaining starter packs and the ones I buy after that, he’ll make the rotation. Murry Dickson is a lowkey nice pickup, too. He’ll be in the middle of our lineup for sure. He’s an elite 2B defender and strong power hitter with an 85 power rating (80 vR, 99 vL). Here’s our gold card! Frank White is quite a pull. Tony Womack’s premium speed (84 SPD, 85 STEAL, 91 BASERUNNING) was a candidate for our pinch runner off the bench, but I found a better option in the form of Roman Quinn (98 SPD, 88 STL, 93 BR), who cost just 75 points and can actually hit a good bit better than Womack should he be forced into pinch-hit duty. By the time you reach Diamond league, your silver studded team will probably start to struggle, but by that point you’ve likely accumulated a ton of points to improve the squad and have something more competitive with the top dogs. ![]() The answer is decidedly no, particularly from Rookie to Gold league. The top question I get from someone new to OOTP Perfect Team is if you have to pay to win. From Rookie, there’s Stone, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Perfect so it’s a long ascent to the top of the heap. You can’t be put back into Entry Pool or anything like that. You work your way up the ladder by succeeding in your league, but you can also be relegated down a level for rough seasons, except in Rookie League. Each day is a month of the season (Mon-Sat is Apr-Sept) and Sunday is the playoffs. Once you’re done with Entry Pool, you’re placed into a Rookie League against 29 others and sims still run every 30 minutes but now it’s from 9AM-midnight Central Time. ![]() To give you an idea of what you can earn in a day, the team we’re going to be focused on in this series earned 1850 points on Sunday. It makes the most sense to start a team earlier in the week so you have that time in Entry Pool to earn Perfect Points (which you acquire via a bevy of achievements your team can do like someone hitting 2 HR and getting 20 points or a big comeback win that is worth 400).
