First added to OOTP19 late last year, OOTP20 expands on this revolutionary addition to OOTP. Tens of thousands of teams from all around the world compete in the multi-level online universe for the ultimate goal, reaching and winning a Championship in the coveted Perfect Leagues. The second version of Perfect Team adds a number of new features:
- About 3000 cards are available on launch day, about 800 of the new 2019 MLB Live cards plus about 2200 historical cards (many of which have been re-rated or are entirely new)
- Weekly content updates with new cards, all year round
- The 2019 MLB Live cards will receive weekly rating updates throughout the regular season, based on real life performance
- For the historical cards we have replaced the "Top WAR" category with "Hardware Heroes", players who won major awards in a year; additionally the "Historical Legend" category cards are now based on a new rating algorithm, which takes the peak performances of a single year for each of the rating categories.
- Card odds will be the same as in OOTP 19. However, historical cards are now a bit more common (3 out of 10) than in OOTP 19 (2.5 out of 10) for cards rated 60 or higher.
- There is now one league level below Bronze, called "Iron", taking the total number of levels to 6
- At least 4 teams will be promoted & relegated each week
- A number of smaller changes have also been made: more auction house features, a Watchlist, better sorting/filtering, a proper league history report for past leagues you played in, and the ability to view info/standings/stats from other leagues in the universe
- Additional features, including a tournament mode and collection missions, will be added after the initial launch
