    I've done it 4/5? times so far. It's an easy 6 games for dailies and a 20k+ value pack. No need for any steal, just beat the Sox first round and build from there.

    I’ve probably done it 3-4 times. Just when I’m working on my daily inning missions. You don’t have to play any higher level than you want to. You can keep advancing (and taking spots to build up as many fans as you want). I’ve usually played Sox on AS and the rest veteran, but it’s pretty easy to get Sox to veteran too. I only play the six strongholds.

    I bought the cards from it that I wanted pretty early on and now the pack is just a free 25k or so each time I finish. Not bad for just doing the dailies that way. I am surprised the prices haven’t dropped lower.

    I used it for the potm and postseason stat grind. One play through is enough to get all the stats you need and a free card on top.

    I’m a little surprised it’s this popular, but I’m glad so many of you dudes are enjoying it! I love conquest so frankly I’m a little surprised that I’m not digging it a lot more (now that I think about it, maybe Conquest Extreme sorta burned me out on the mode for a bit?).

    Maybe it’s also because I already have almost all the RIB cards that initially appealed to me — Goldy, Jones, Lee, Blyleven, and Perez. I will probably run through it again for Holland and Davis. Anybody else I should snag if the mood strikes me to play the map again? I’m sure no one will make my primary squad, but I always like collecting fun cards that I can whip out every now and again when I want to impress the ladies.

    I do it almost every day in between online games, and it's at least 20k stubs. I do it in 7 games, 6 strongholds, 1 steal on HOF for 4 million. It also gives me a chance to try out new players before using them online so there is some familiarity even thought they may play differently online vs. offline. Also good for stat grinds so you can double dip.

    I’ve probably done the conquest map 15-20 times, never stealing. But I do play 6 turns before taking the white Sox, get territories all the way to the Yankees so at minimum you’re getting 5 per turn and you shouldn’t have to play on anything higher than All-Star. Also, if you choose your 4th starter for the Sox and your 5th starter for every other game you only face lefty starters, so just load up the lineup with righties and it’s a super easy and casual way to make stubs. One of my favorite programs of the whole year tbh

    I think you may enjoy using Wainwright. And for some reason I had fun with Andrus, too

    Much better reward and easier/quicker than the U.S. map. So, I'm a fan of it.

    I don’t steal fans at all. I play WS and As on All star, the rest all vet. Just the strongholds and I’m done.

    The fact that these cards are free and easy to get, but the high tier cards (Goldy, Jones, Smith, etc) are still nowhere near QS makes me wonder if people just aren’t even bothering with the whole RIB thing. The conquest map is so cramped that it basically requires a couple steal rounds. So a runthrough ends up being 9-10 games instead of just the 6 strongholds. And showdown just sucks. Also, a lot of the awards are pretty bland, and stubs are so easy to come by that it seems like more effort than it’s worth for a 20K card.

    Has anyone done it more than even one or two times? I did it twice, but at this point I’m probably just gonna buy the few cards that I’m halfway interested in.

    I do it to support my pack addiction. I like to stack it with the 9th inning Showdown. After you sell the RIB player and add that to the stubs you make doing both Showdowns you typically have around 35k in stubs to buy headliners bundles along with a few standard packs to open with the 10 pk. and the other packs you can earn in the 9th inning Showdown. When I hit big I buy myself something nice then lock it in. After selling 97 Chapmans, and Ted Williams on separate occasions just to buy packs along with many others I had to start locking everything in as a safe gaurd against pack addiction.

    It's easy. It's free diamonds and/or stubs. I love this.

    I use that map for my daily "innings with x team" mission. Play 1 game a day and just load up the team with players I'd never otherwise get to use. I only play the strongholds and then I just sell the card after. 20k is better than nothing, and it's a half decent warm up for the thumbs before entering online play.

    I use it for Dailies. I've done it about over 30x since it came out; daily and twice on weekends. Yesterday was the first day I did only half; I'll keep it that way going forward, I'll take the 15K every other day! It is kind of a drag, especially if you lose focus and lose a game!

    You can easily do the Conquest Map in 6 games with doing the CWS on AS and the rest om Veteran if you want to. I've switched to mainly online this year but I've done this map 4-5 times because the current WS event got stale very quick. Plus I knocked out PS stats in these games.

    I did the showdown twice the other day. No lie the first time I went in 12-12 and Cliff Lee shut me the fk down. Not one run. I tried again right after and went in 10-12. Yup I lost. I suck

    I completed it once but way too much randomness in showdown makes it an all or nothing event. Conquest FTW .

    I actually prefer the showdown for RIB. I found it really easy, and less time consuming than conquest.
