Would like some insight. Long post. Please read all of it.

Ok, so going into this past few days my gameplay was to knock out each of the TA Conquest maps, by division, and their corresponding Moments (if needed) to get as much of each TA done as possible.
Then I was going to start on the other Conquest maps (DS, FOB, Shark, etc) with players from each division to fill in the gaps.
Well, after today's TA Map fiasco, I don't know what to do now.
For the AL/NL East TAs I am 100% done with Stages 2-4. And am at 73% and 81%, respectively, for the NL and AL Stage 1. (Besides the repeatable innings and the Exchanges; I still have the Moments and Player Missions for Gold Sheffield and Floyd and 42 Series Swanson, Smith, and McCutchen to complete for the NL East. And for the AL, I need the Moments and Player Missions for Gold Soriano and Longoria. Along with the PM for 42 Series Santander, Stanton and Adames).
For the Central Divisions:
Stage 1: NL 74%. Finished the Conquest Map and the missions for Gold Arrieta and Cole. And the Castillo 42 Series. I am also 4 hits with Wong, 2HRs with Aguilar, and 10 is with Flaherty away from completing those PMs. Once I get those done, I'll be at 138pys and should be a few missions away from completing it. Unless I get close with PAs.
For the Stage 2 AL Central; I'm at 38% and have finished the Conquest Map and Gold Thome mission. I have all the other PMs and Moments (plus exchanges) still left.
For Stage 2:
NL is at 80% and AL is at 29%. I completed the PMs for Diamond Lester, and I XBH away from Diamond Foster, 1 hit away from Diamond Lucroy, and have completed Stargell and O'Neill's missions. I also completed the Ks with Prior and Priester and an 5 hits from completing Turang for the NL. The AL I completed the PMs for Carrasco and Cain. That's it.
Now, I can do the Conquest map, which would finish the NL (with points to spare) and take me to 104/150 pts in the AL. Surely I'll get some extra points from just PAs points.
Stage 3: NL is complete and the AL is only at 50% with the only thing completed is the Collection and PAs. So I have some grinding with players to do along with maybe the Moments.
Stage 4: NL is completed, well will be once I get 5pts from either PAs, 10Ks with Maddux, or two Moments. Also still need the Conquest Map done as I haven't started it. AL is at 33% (50pts) which could be finished by just doing the Conquest Map for 60pts.
As for the AL/NL West TAs; pets just say I'm only at 25-50% done with them.
So, after that LONG explanation; here is my question: Should I still attempt the Conquest Maps for Stage 2 and 4 AL/NL Divisions, along with the maps for all the West divisions (5 total maps) to knock out more of the TA progress BEFORE I start the extra Conquest Maps?
I could still chip away at the parts of TA that I don't have done, skipping their maps and Moments, by just playing the other maps; but am I leaving anything 'on the board'?
Once I get all of TA done, hopefully before 5 drops, and the other maps (Shark, FOD, DS, etc) I would like to knock out some of the rest of the Event and BR Program.
So, should I hold of on the TA Conquest maps and just do the other stuff (maybe Event and BR since they're timed) and worry about TA later?
Again, I don't know why, but if I get to 100 percent of a TA and still have possible points unclaimed due to not finishing missions, maps Moments; it feels like I'm not getting the most out of the game.
Yet, I don't want to limit my self to strictly offline.
Can anything be kind enough to offer suggestions?

Would already be completed if you didn’t waste all the time typing up this ridiculous post.

That is the longest most detail filled nonsense I've ever read. If you truly want to finish TA as your goal it looks to me like you need to load a team of all AL central or or all AL west and play the other divisions maps, don't sleep on those repeatable missions they could get you a whole division completed without ever touching that conquest map. That might save you time to get back to events. Also if you're going to grind events stay away from AL West conquest since you'll be using astros players there
-
Also depending on stub count don't shy away from exchanges, those are the way most people complete TA within hours or days of it dropping

Mr. Shawnchez, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

For the love of Carpal tunnel syndrome!.

He quoted one of the greatest movies of all time. Its hilarious, do what you want with the game, look up videos, etc. Dont write us a book and expect to see al smiles.

Your post is a little convoluted so I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but I'll give you my best advice. If you're trying to build a good team to compete with online, TA3 and 4 will give you the best cards so focus on those. Fastest way to do them is exchanges + missions and showdowns. I wouldn't even bother with the TA conquest maps, do the shark map and postseason ones and you'll make progress on TA automatically. Also the postseason programs have endgame cards so do those too

Thank you. I was just wondering if I complete the TAs without doing their maps am I leaving any good packs unclaimed?
But I'm sure that most of the TA maps don't have alot of packs in them other than reg The Show packs, a few HL packs, a maybe a few BIAH packs.

I don't think the TA maps have any packs worth your time, unless you're really desperate for live series cards

Definitely focus on the shark map, and the postseason maps as they are easy.
Watch a few videos on how to best do conquests, once you get them down, you can complete any of them. I had no idea what I was doing when I played and got frustrated with the maps very easily. After watching some videos and completing several of the easy ones, it became my favorite game mode other than TA.
The missions are the best way to gain points without losing stubs. Exchanges if you don't mind spending. You will technically be working on all 4 TAs at a time if you are doing the missions
Example:
- Fill your team with AL Central players and play either conquest or v. CPU
- Everytine you unlock a TA choice pack reward, add that player to your roster and keep playing.
- You will be accruing plate appearances and innings which are repeatable for all 4 seasons and in no time, you will have a roster filled with players who have missions.
- TA3 has repeatable missions for All Star players so use those if you can and you will knock those repeatable missions out over and over.

Thanks. I've been loading up my teams with players from that division. When I did the East maps, I had all East players and if I didn't unlock a card from the TA path, that filled a certain position, I just used the best card I had at that time.
Same with the Stage 1 Central map +using Central players.
My issue is that I'm getting the repeatable 100 plate appearances done before I get the missions done, or even get a player unlocked.
Plus, it's easier getting points for Stage 4 than it is for Stage 1 right now; thus why the majority of what is competed, or close to completion, are Stages 3 and 4.
I thought if playing Free Agents players in roster spots where I don't have a Mission player; but that just means it will take longer to unlock a player that I do need.
I think what it comes down to is that I'm going to end up just completing these without the maps and Moments and will do them eventually if I have nothing else to do or want to complete everything.
