Finally got 20; quickest way to get Diamonds?
-
So I picked up 20 during the sale and have been flipping between playing 19 and 20.
Have picked up an 85 Posada and 99 Joe Morgan by completing their programs but just realized any player praogram player is no sell and am leery of not being able to change players later or just having guys I won't use.And these million dollar stubs are intimidating.
So I'm wondering what is the alternate quickest way.
Also, should I not bother trying to get early inning rewards because it's too late to get enough to earn the top prize?
This year has me confused about how to earn big names between collections, team affinity, etc.
And I know Conquest is supposed to be one of the quickest ways to get rewards but it usually takes me a long time and is such a boring grind that I don't understand why it's such a big part of the game. It's more work than fun and while that's tolerable for realistic sims I don't see the point in it for conquest. It's just annoying and time consuming.
Any tips on how to move through it quicker and on the litany of other topics I listed are appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like you want the rewards but don’t want to do any work. Conquest is the most rewarding for little effort. Tons of packs including guaranteed diamonds. Run it back stuff as well.
-
Start with all of the postseason stuff in order to work your way up to 99 Seager. There are a lot of very useable diamonds you will unlock along the way, most of which are sellable. You could use them until you are able to afford better cards. I had a full team of pretty high diamonds within 1 day of buying the game.

Go through all the TA4 conquest maps and occupy everything you can before there are no spots left and you have to attack. If you do all 30 like that, you’ll have stubs and packs to build off of. You can put together a competitive team in a day.

Topps Now moments and Player of the Month programs like 99 Tatis and 99 Jose Ramirez, and for sure do the postseason program for 99 Seager, you will get close to a 99 overall squad just buy completing that, and do the 99 Bob Gibson Conquest map

Lol.
I grinded through 19 to build a team and I'm willing to do stuff that might be a little frustrating but ultimately takes some skill and involves the game.
But, and I might be missing something, I don't see Conquest as either fun or all that skillful and I definitely don't see it as quick, which is why I asked for tips.
And, yeah, part of me is like, 2020 is [censored] and this is my fun distraction. I don't think there should be THAT much work to earn stuff. -

If you don’t want to play conquest, then you’re going to have to play the market and work on Team Affinities. There’s some of the best cards in the game available there (Soto, Machado, Betts, Perez). I’m saying this because most of the monthly award and player grinds requires a certain amount of hits or RBI’s and requires you to play conquest or against the pc on All Star. But some of the other best cards in the game are achieved there (Tatis Jr, Seager, Mondesi, JRam). Making stubs on the market is easy so get some good cheap players and go from there. FYI It’s not going to be done overnight. But in a few days I’m sure you’ll have a competitive team

Thanks for all the input everyone. Any tips on how to make Conquest go quicker? I think I'm not great at that because I feel like I go in circles on the options and it takes me a long time to make progress.

Steal 3M fans first, then lock up as many free spots as possible so when you go and challenge a stronghold you can play on all star or lower and pretty much guarantee a win and not have to replay any strongholds. There’s also descriptions of where the rewards are on some of the maps if you google them. And play the team you steal from first to help yourself out

Thank you!

Play the game....
But for real do player moments, monthly award moments, conquest mode. Tons of ways to get a decent team even this late in the game

The absolute quickest way is to buy stubs.
-
You don't even have to play a game or an at bat and you can have an all diamond team with 100k in stubs easy in one night starting from scratch. I did this a couple months ago on an alt account and got to 33 or 34 bronze with out playing anything just simmed the Conquest maps after looking up where the hidden packs were located...and this was b4 ta4s 30 maps. I didn't even get any great pulls from packs either, but plenty of Prospect packs HR Derby, BIAH, Headliner, Bundles, Stubs...etc

This is like walking into the end of a movie and asking the theater "What did I miss?"

In Conquest use the pitchers with quick winds ups. I personally use Strasburg and Kimbrel for all the Conquests - makes it go quicker for me anyway. Plus I use them all the time so their pitch selection is committed to memory.

Lol. Funny, but not really. People do buy the game at different times, especially this year, when budgets are tight.

I have a feeling you’re doing conquest wrong...
