One new feature is the Perfect Points shop (in the Market menu), you can now purchase in-game currency inside Perfect Team. Please note that the Steam Overlay feature needs to be enabled for the shop to work.
IMPORTANT: Perfect Team is still in beta! Once the beta period ends (late November), we will reset all accounts (teams, cards, etc) and leagues, so everyone starts with a brand new team. However, Perfect Points which you purchase now will NOT get lost, they will be redistributed to your Perfect Points balance after the beta ends and Perfect Team officially launches.

Perfect Team public beta launches + OOTP 19 update released!
The day has come, we have just released the OOTP 19 update which unlocks the public beta of Perfect Team! This is a very special day for our company, we really hope that you will love Perfect Team as much as we do. It took us over 2 1/2 years of development time to get to where we are today, and now we're really close to putting the finishing touches on. To learn more about Perfect Team and the public beta, please see here: Official Perfect Team Forum
On top of Perfect Team, this update (version 19.9.111) offers several other enhancements & fixes:
- Dramatically improved startup times
- Improved simulations and general game speed by up to 20%
- Fixed injury rating bugs for historical imports
- Improved pinch hitting AI
- Fixed crashes on Mac OSX 10.14 (Mojave) and some Linux distros
- Several other bug fixes
Please do note that this version (19.9.111) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.8.79 or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues. Also, the Linux version does not support Perfect Team, unfortunately.
Have fun!

Perfect Team Development Update!
it's time for an update on our upcoming online competition and card collecting mode, Perfect Team!
The closed beta started about 3 weeks ago, and the feedback has been phenomenal. Of course, there were a few kinks to work out, but in general the feedback from our beta testers has been amazing. They love the new mode and we think you will, too.
To wet your appetite, here is an exclusive hand-on preview by GameInformer's Matt Kato:

So, when can you get your hands on Perfect Team? Really soon. We are currently shooting for October 30th to start the public beta, although that may slip into the first week of November. We will keep you posted about the progress and will have a big announcement once the public beta launches.
Have a nice weekend and enjoy our upcoming World Series Special Sale!

OOTP 19 Maintenance Patch (Version 19.8.79) Available!
This week we were working very hard to fix the last remaining issues of the problematic 19.8.64 update. And it looks like we succeeded, all customers who were in contact with us because of performance issues / crashes have reported that the current build is stable and performs great. So, here is the final 19.8 update, version 19.8.79.
Please do note that this version (19.8.79) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.8.70 or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues.
Changelist (compared to 19.8.70)
- Improved interface speed
- Fixed performance issues with some AMD CPUs
- Fixed 1946, 1947, 1948 league total stats
- Fixed bugs: scouting graphs, historical finances, allstar bonus, and others
Again, we are very sorry that the 19.8.64 update was such a mess for some users. Hopefully update 19.8.79 puts this annoying chapter to rest.
Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team
