OOTP 22

[Pirates GM (Hollar)]

So, anyone else gonna join myself and Robin for Perfect Team 22? It's tons of fun, and I highly recommend it.

I've got my pre-order in

[Rockies GM (Dan)]

I had TERRIBLE luck last year with pack pulls. In one of my starter decks (for my non-main Perfect Team, mind you), managed to pull a 100, along with two golds. Granted, the 100 is a 2021 live Jose Ramirez, and I'm wondering if I should just sell it for nearly 30,000 points. But still, for a day one pull? Not bad for me.

[Former Athletics GM (Das)]

Nice pull. Forgive my advice, if you aren't actually looking for it, but YES sell that Ramirez for no less than 25k, then buy as much value as you can in the auction house, buy bronzes for 100 and then sell in the 300-500 range, silvers are harder to come buy today, but there are a few that have been selling under 300 and then selling in the 800-1100 range.

I put in $20 to get me started, the Brattleboro Peace roster now only has 5 Gold cards and consists of 2 Live Perfects (Buehler and Giolito), 18 Live Diamonds, 2 Historical Diamonds, with a 1 game lead in my Entry Pool. Spent all night buying and selling bronzes, silvers and Live Diamonds. Last season I was stuck bouncing between winning Gold Leagues and barely getting by in the Diamond Leagues, while it's great to have 9 championships, the goal is more championships this season and to make it to Perfect League. Now, if I could only figure to have the same success in tournaments as Hollar and Robin, I might have a chance.

[Former Twins GM (Robin)]

I mostly agree totally with Das. I tried to build my Bronze team day one, but it only came together yesterday once I got my spreadsheet in place. I got extremely lucky and pulled Live Perfect Mookie Betts and Live Perfect Juan Soto with some of my first tourney win pulls. I bought up all the Twins I could find (obviously) so now sporting an outfield of Soto, Buxton, Betts left to right with Kent Hrbek at 1B.

I'm the Laketown Deep Ones this year, so please do friend me so we can end up in the same division some weeks.

I'd disagree with Das on the selling though. Build the bronze pack generation engine for sure but I'm selling only Duplicates. Betts and Soto should play through gold. Plus they'll serve to lock up later missions. I might do player speculation in the AH this year, too. Buy up live players that I think will rise levels and sell the Dupes for a profit. Love OOTP Perfect team.

[Pirates GM (Hollar)]

I'd go with sell, but I also sold everything I pulled above a 69 rating from my starter packs and invested in my bronze tourney team. F2P life is all about the grind. I'll collect cards later on the backs of these tournament packs.

Also, if y'all want to join in on luck tracking, here's my packs spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15HIrdJtLeTtMBMgj-2WhjKW4ih5GIOZyXUPTdsa7Vhk/edit?usp=sharing

Just make a duplicate of the blank tab and fill it in for you. Since one card is guaranteed in every type of pack, you only count the 5 non-guaranteed cards.
