OOTP Baseball:Perfect Team/Team Chemistry

Team Chemistry is a new feature in PT25. It gives a bonus to players to vary the roster usage, and to help "theme teams" gain a bonus by using players from the same team or eras.

Boosts Available

Players gain boosts from the following:

• Being of the same card type/special edition type (ie. Baseball Reference 1 cards gain an additional boost with other Baseball Reference 1 cards. Future Legends gain a boost from other Future Legends)
• Both being Combinator Series cards
• Being from the same historical team (New York Yankees with other New York Yankees)
• Being from the same year (larger bonus) or decade (smaller bonus)
• Having been actual teammates in the past

Calculations

On the Chemisty page, you can view a player's total chemistry. The chemistry for each player is evaluated vs every other player on the team, and the player is given an individual score. All player relations are added up, for the overall team score.

Players receive a bonus in-game with their individual score mixed with the team score. So if your overall team score is 75%, players who individually have a larger value will gain more than those with a lower score. The actual bonus players get is applied in-game when determining the result of plays.

Considerations

The bonus can increase some players, however the underlying ratings of players still is a much larger factor.
