Mini seasons suck

So far, everything I've heard about this mode is an L. I know some people are having success but from all the people getting Ls when they win and getting kicked out of the championship, this mode is broken. Too bad, they got rid of all the other content and smashed it into one program. If this mode worked and had good rewards it would be a decent alternative. I'm curious to see how many players hang around this year and how many lose interest.
I have had a couple wins count as losses but nothing major, I feel for those that have had it bad.
I think it would be better if we were playing a random set of real player teams (like Extra Innings) instead of the same set of teams every time.

I love it and it’s actually somewhat of an actual challenge, y’all are trippin

I’m with you Ericulous. I’ll finish this season out, but probably won’t go for another. Games feel too “scripted”, like they “have” to be close. Reminds me a lot like Conquest games this year.
Just not fun nor relaxing.

Is mini seasons 3 inning games?

I will be different a little bit, but I like Mini Seasons so far. I'm in my second season and I'm using it currently for Connect Unis xp grind. It's much faster jumping into next game than in Conquest, where you have to simulate games a lot. And you get some packs through the season, I'm ok with that.
My only gripe is SDS could change team names and logos every season started, not just rosters to have more variety

I think it is a neat idea, but it needs to have a cap on team OVR. We're only 9 days from early access and 5 days from regular release and I have 2 teams in my Mini Season that are absolutely loaded. Both teams' avg 96 OVR and their lowest rated cards are 92 Tatis and Kuechel. I'm guessing this will only get worse as more people get better cards, resulting in Mini Seasons turning into playing 7 "god squads" that are mostly made up of the same players. If I wanted to play "god squads", I'd play online. I'll finish out the current season to get what rewards I can and to grind some of the FoTF missions, but after that, I'm probably done with this mode.
Nah, the concept is 2 top teams, 2 low teams and 3 in the middle
-
BS - mini-seasons are by far my favorite mode.
-
ill win the rewards and never play it again unless its necessary for rewards. Id rather play conquest over and over or play online
-
Mini Seasons is great, and I prefer it much more than playing scrub teams in Conquest. They just need to fix the technical issues people are experiencing with the mode.

It's different could be better awards are definitely not worth the grind. Can get probably twice as many packs playing mystery conquest map on repeat.
Lets examine this theory here.
Assuming you fly through mini seasons on rookie, forgoing the harder difficulty challenges, you get a total of :
22 Show packs
1 BIAH pack
2 Prospect packs
17,000 stubs
27,500 XPMystery Map :
5 Show packs
Mini seasons may take longer but the rewards are infinitely better as you get a minimal amount of stubs/xp for Conquest. Also, in order to get "twice as many packs" from the mystery map, you'd have to play it at least 10 times....which would probably take nearly as long as a mini-season anyway.

If you hate it so much you DO have the option to NOT play it. Just saying. Instead you come to this forum to B I T C H and complain to people who can’t fix you’re issues. What a waste of time. Life must suck if you feel the need to seek sympathy from a bunch of random joes.

Only caveat, I’m guessing the 27,5k XP is only earned once

Actually no. Ive done 3 mini seasons since launch. ALL the rewards are repeatable until May 2nd...with the exception of the Mystery Reward.

Not to mention mini-seasons are fun where conquest is like playing RISK.

Agree - way more fun than Conquest and Cats/Whales “god squads” aren’t even that good. I just hate playing in the Cats home park with 450 to CF so just quit out of those games. And Rewards are WAY better than doing the Mystery map over and over again. Shouldn’t take more than 26 games to finish a season and the championship (20 wins in regular season should net you the #1 seed and then 6 wins for playoffs).
That gets you 2 prospect packs (worth around $12K stubs after tax when you sell the cards) then around $15K or so Stub Rewards and then like 20+ Show Packs and 2 Ballin. My main grind right now.

My first time playing was over the weekend and the first team had a parallel V clemente how is that possible unless the person is literally just playing the game every day all day

@imdfc_psn said in Mini seasons suck:
I've learned that Mini Seasons sucks if you're trying to grind out PXP challenges. But If I run an actual fun team that doesn't have a bunch of jabronis on it it's fiiiiine
Yeah, well the PXP grind you're running Gold players against Diamond squads, which Conquest doesn't have; makes sense.
Especially if you're playing on AS and up.
