There creativity came directly from the community with mini seasons. Its certainly not perfect but offline players have been asking for exactly mini seasons for like 5 years
The community is boring as well haha
Boring? This forum is anything but boring.
For example, let's talk about the movie "Interstellar". I really enjoyed this Christopher Nolan film, but I prefer his earlier work "Memento". Any one of my many BFFs want to join me in a spirited, non-boring discussion?

Is it repeatable in the sense that you can earn the pack rewards more than once? If so, this mode is actually worth it. If not, meh.
Yes it is repeatable, but the only way to get Evan Longeria is through the mode, you have to win the championship. Its very GRINDY and boring.
Yeah I went through that to get the card, I just wasn't sure if you can earn the packs more than once. I think it's not that grindy for the packs you get, it's better than the past where you had to complete the whole USA conquest map for a 10 pack bundle.
I'm not entirely sure if you can get the prospects packs more than once but for sure 15 standard packs, 1 ballin pack, 12,000 stubs and 9000xp worth of rewards are repeatable. Definitely better than repeating the USA conquest imo

You got them more than once in MLBTS 21. I don't think they changed that, did they?

I mean the prospect packs available in mini seasons. I know the conquest ones are repeatable

I am actually looking forward to playing this mode more. It addresses several issues (I think) that offline folks have mentioned in the past. The main one being that we are never the home team in any offline modes. In Conquest you are always the visiting team. There was absolutely no real reason, as an offline player, to bother with making nice looking home uniforms. There was also no reason to try and acquire stadiums or create a stadium as you would never get to see it.
It's a new mode for offline players to gain XP and that is a good thing.

There are cards locked behind every mode aren't there? cards you can only get by playing BR, cards you can only get by playing ranked seasons, cards you can only get by playing conquest, if you really don't want to play the mode, earn enough stubs playing something else to buy the card on the market, typically these types of cards are not expensive.

Bro, you cannot buy Longeria, he is ONLY available through Mini Seasons. Did you even read my post? lol

your post makes no mention of Longoria being unsellable, I won't have the game until official release so can't check these things for myself but it would seem odd to make that card a non sellable card, so if it is, I agree with you that sucks.
The only mention of the Longoria card in your post
"Its just playing the cpu 20+ times for the Longeria card and thats the only reason i'm playing, and it sucks he is stuck behind that grind..." -

Oh it sucks, i've made it to the championship, and i have to play a team of full collections. [censored]

@jcassaro44_psn said in Mini Seasons is lame:
Why would you want it less Grindy? This was made for offline players to have a mode to use their DD teams besides play vs the cpu and conquest.. It’s not supposed to be something you do in 20 minutes.
Agreed. I was expecting varying season lengths. Not as much as 162, but like 81, 64, 40, 25 games, etc.
Thank goodness a card won't be locked behind an 81 game season! -
Is anyone actually losing besides me? I’m actually embarrassed. Not used to losing games vs cpu.

I lost on Hall of fame to a full collections team. I've been playing on vet every since lol.
-
I have seen some people losing on HOF, looks like it will be challenging which I am looking forward to. Did they make any other modes cards unsellable? Is the North America Conquest Map reward sellable?

Not like conquest at all.

Honestly I think the game has passed me by. I used to be pretty good. I’m a scrub now.

@weshill627_psn said in Mini Seasons is lame:
I think mini seasons is uninspired and boring.
They could have done a lot with this mode, but its just conquest without simulating spots on a board.
My biggest complaint, i've played two different teams that have generated full collections complete, and the most recent team has Andrew Miller, so i guess whoever i matched up with is rich lol. The CPU seems to cheat on the higher difficulty so i have to play on Veteran to make sure I win. lol.
I wish before each series they had a cut scene breaking down the team your playing's last few games, or telling us more about the team's history (even though its made up). or just something other than a paragraph.
Instead of them randomly generating teams from online, they should have made up players and give them complete backstories and their history, then they could have put leaderboards, by showing who played the best vs those teams.
Its just playing the cpu 20+ times for the Longeria card and thats the only reason i'm playing, and it sucks he is stuck behind that grind...Come on SDS, where is your creativity at?
Agreed. Did anyone play Blitz, the football game from 10 years ago? All the teams were made up and there were little cut scenes and rivalries etc.
games had that creativity a while back lol.
-
The suggestion of being able to sim games is never going to happen. You would have people simming to the end of the season. Play one game and get the 15 packs. Maybe you don't like the mode which is understandable, not everyone will but it is much better than conquest since you aren't constantly playing the same lineup and you don't have to reinforce/steal fans or lose 30-4 sims.
-
All the mini season missions and rewards are repeatable with exception the Longoria card.
-
I've played four teams so far and each one of them have had the full Live Series collection done plus the Chase Albert Pujols card.
So far, with the lack of variety I'm seeing from this mode... it feels pretty lame to me.

Actually, CPU is much tougher in 22 it seems. On Rookie, pitchers throw mostly [censored] and paint the black. It’s pretty stupid.
On top of that, more than half of my well hit balls are bee lines to fielders who don’t even have to move. Ridiculous.
CPU pitchers on Rookie should be throwing meatballs on a regular basis like in 21. That’s not the case, and it makes offline grind...unpleasant. Poorly done, SDS.
