If you don't care much about getting the Byron Buxton POTM Card then do the moment and get the topps now players and sell them. They go for like 15K each diamond and some golds go for over 10K. I did that and completed about 18 collections. Of course I did get stubbs from other stuff like the 1st inning program and stuff. I am also a NMS player so just play a little and do moments, programs and maybe the big conquest map.
-
@dutchoven53_XBL I definitely don't have enough time to get that live series.
-
@Duke0021520_XBL the conquest maps can certainly look very intimidating, but watch a couple youtube vids and you can blow through a few of them in a good grind session. I definitely understand not being able to spend a ton of time grinding. I do 10 hours days at work so I grind on weekends and a few hours in the evenings after work as a night cap. I’ve finished all the conquests beside the nation, and have a ton of progress toward each team affinity, and I would be considered a “casual” player. I just try to maximize cramming as many different areas of content into the games that I play. I’ve been able to finish TAs and the monthly awards while completing conquest all at the same time
-
@ovk1r_PSN I was told that there's a big collection later on, so I should get that Buxton.

@samguenther1987 Thanks! Any advice for working the market?
Patience, don't get frustrated if someone undercuts you because your order will go eventually. It takes time but it will pay off. Study the market to see whats moving and what isn't after a time you'll get the hang of it. It may take time but once you have enough stubs you can really get going. I also suggest playing every conquest game that you can for hidden packs/stubs/XP becuase everything adds up. Good luck
-
@dutchoven53_XBL Ok, I'm at around halfway on POTM, finished all Topps Now, and have done various other things except online and conquest. My highest team affinity is like 20% though.
-
@samguenther1987 Thanks for the help! Good luck to you as well this year!

@MLBTS_MLBTS It will. Do you know about how long? I know the Yankees, Dodgers, and Angels will be the hardest ones.
I don't know exactly how long it all depends all how you spend your time while playing. I have one tip, Don't buy packs.
-
@MLBTS_MLBTS I definitely won't.
-
-
@MLBTS_MLBTS For how long? And what do I use them on? Kinda want that 93 Lofton because I didn't get the boss pack. I was at level 22. I'm only at 11k though.

How ever long it takes you to complete collections. You have to choose who you want more Chipper or Lofton.
-
@MLBTS_MLBTS Ok thanks. Lofton will probably go down after the 2nd inning anyways.

Do y'all suggest going for collections already for a no money spent player who plays about 1-2 hours a day? If so, how do you best suggest getting the players and just any other community market tips. Thanks! Also I have the Phillies collection done already because I pulled Realmuto and Nola was cheap.
If you’re no money spent then the earlier you go for collections the better.. your approach should be to go for the highest stubs count first. So your #1 goal should be to buy Mike Trout first then whoever’s highest price next, regardless of team. Hope this makes sense
-
@cosmic_wonders It does. Thanks! I just feel like that will take a long time and he'll be cheaper in 3 months.
-
@Duke0021520_XBL i grinded some showdowns to get a lot of TA progress. How I just work the flashbacks from each division into my lineup and play conquest games. I currently have 320,000 stubs and a ton of that is from card flipping so once you figure out how to do that effectively, the stub count will skyrocket. Watch YouTube, the guys on there have good flipping tips. I like to put in a decent amount of orders, grind some content and check back to see where I’m at with my buy/sell orders. I just constantly do this plus all the extras you get from content grinding

It’s actually more efficient! I took this approach last year (my 1st year playing DD) and completed live series collections rather quickly, without spending more than the $60 game actually cost. You’re more likely to pull every other card in packs other than the top 10 diamonds. I already got about 100K in stubs without playing that much and I have an all Diamond squad mainly from the Buxton collection. Give it a try!
-
@dutchoven53_XBL I'm pretty bad at showdown. I did the starter but wasn't able to do the 1st inning one in 4 tries. Haven't done TA yet so maybe I'll do better in that. Which division(s) should I do first?
-
@cosmic_wonders Alright I will. Thanks! Hope you do amazing in the game this year!
-
Depends on what you do with that 1 to 2 hours of time. Events can net you some nice cards to use or to sell. To me the sets is what makes this game so addicting, just remember it's hard to get everything. I had to pass on Buxton because I wanted to use that coin for the AL live series.
