It is funny how simply things can change my feelings on the game.
I’d been somewhat down on OOTP over the past week. It felt like my tournament team had become uncompetitive for now real reason (no big card update that I needed to respond to). Finally completing the live missions (I broke down and purchased the last couple of Dodgers) left me with not clear cut path to improve my normal team.
Overnight I won a bronze tournament, a PD for 2k PP, and picked up a silver reward in game (trivial amount of PPs but nice to see a different color every once in a while). No real change in anything about the effectiveness of my team but just enough to turn me back to positive on OOTP.
