(S11) - PT 4 - Card Collecting

[Oles]

As someone who has played his fair amount of games, Oles has seen many different versions of building a team through cards. Whether it's Madden Ultimate Team, MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty, or NHL's Hockey Ultimate Team, there are plenty card collecting variants out there in the sports gaming world. Recently, Out of the Park Baseball, a game that puts the focus more on running your Baseball team and building a team that is worthy of a title, released a new mode called Perfect Team. Much like other sports games, this is a card collecting game where you gotta build your team, but unlike the other versions you do not control the team in game, it holds all the values of OOTP while also utilizing the card system, fantasy style team-building that has made other versions a success. The collecting of cards, seeing who your best players are when some may have never been known to you before, and just building a team and passively earning points to upgrade your team makes the card collecting OOTP game such an addicting experience. Of my cards so far, Josh Willingham, a 2009 Unsung Hero card for the Nationals, has been my best player and a card I probably won't replace on my team. Without this game Josh Willingham would have been a name I barely knew, and that's one of the things I like most about this version of card collecting to build your team. (243 words)
