Mini seasons is great, it's a shame that it's so glitchy. I've run it 3 or 4 times and you can't beat the rewards. Even if you skip the AS and HOF you're getting something like 17k stubs, 22 packs, ballin pack, and 2 choose 2 prospect packs. And you only have to play like 26 games total.

I watched this guy pulling 55 packs last night he gave 5 diamonds and 2 chase packs wich also gave him 2 diamonds, inciting turner and pujols
First time I ever watched someone pulling cards, I could not believe it tbh

I'm currently like 16-4 on my 3rd run through of mini seasons. First time on veteran, second time on allstar, this time on HOF so I'll get all the challenges complete if I win the championship. This is the most fun I've have in an offline game mode. The only thing it needs is a stats page, I'd like to see how the hitters and pitchers performed through those 30ish game on HOF. it's hard to get a gauge on who your best with when you are smashing the cpu on lower difficulty.
My pack luck hasn't been the worst, not the best either, the hughest diamond ive pulled was billy wagner. I think a championship run on HOF and with allstar players (10 HRs) you get around 25 standard packs 3 biah and maybe 2 prospect packs. Can't beat it.
I really hope the add to it moving forward. I'd like more missions like the hit 10HRs with all star players. Maybe get 50 hits with Breakout or somthing. I love playing with new cards.
100% agree about recognizing stats for the specific season. I was thinking that as I gave up a few hits + runs to the Lichtenstein (best of best) squad.
I completed the USA map once, but definitely think seasons has more reward value than the map (even if I don’t pull trout every time!).

You can do the repeatable conquest in 40 minutes for 5 packs. 7 minutes to fill the board, then get a run and bunt the rest each game. Maybe 30 minutes.

Know I’ve seen a number of posts with people having issues with mini season, not sure if those are related to non-PS4 devices, but I was just toiling through the last few games of this season tonight. Couldn’t jump online because contacts were dry, reaction just not there and didn’t want to sweat.
Win the championship and middle of my 15 standard packs is the glory we all seek…..I went fishing. Can’t recall ever getting him from a pack, so quite beside myself.
Currently my best year for diamond pulls:
Soto
Vlad jr
Degrom
Ramirez
Lofton
Torkelson
Freeman
ColeThat's awesome man those are great pulls

Yeah but it gets super boring. I spent a whole Saturday doing that while simultaneously earning mission pxp. I think at the end of the day I opened 80 packs.

Mystery map is nice, but after a dozen times i just cant stand to play CLE CAL or ATL anymore

That’s what I’ve been running. Seems like most bang per minute

I do the mystery map once as a warm up before I go to mini seasons.

If I have an hour to burn before I go to bed I’ll run through the mystery map. The last 30 packs I’ve opened have been do do from it. I still get excited though seeing those packs pile up.
As far as diamond pulls I’ve gotten a fair amount.
Harper
Kershaw x 3
Starling Marte
Grandal
Judge
Torkelson
Freeman
PujolsBesides pujols nothing worth a bunch. I sold Pujols. Can’t hit with him. I still have Harper on my bench and I love Freeman, he’s in the starting line up.

Thanks man, definitely has tempered the little itch I have for packs early in the year. Between seasons + BR that’s been feeding the beast thus far. My obligatory 50 pack first night landed the vlad + Soto and everything since was free packs.
Just hit 100 in BR so taking on the events next.

How was br for you. When I first jumped on it seemed like it was on veteran difficulty then towards the end of the program this weekend it got really sweaty. Are there placement rounds? Or multiple difficulties for the different skilled plauers?
I was scoring 9 runs a game then lucky to get 3 -
I've pulled Semien, Machado and I got a chase pack that netted Soto through mini seasons.
-
The BIAH packs, while fewer in quantity this year seem to yield better odds for me than in years past. If doing mini seasons Otis definately worthwhile to play onAS or HOF to get the extra BIAH packs.
Still, I wish there were a simple way to dump out of the mini season when I see that more than half of the teams I am placed with have 99 Randy Johnson. What are the odds?

I was scoring 9 runs a game then lucky to get 3Man, i had a similar sort of experience first sequence. Had 2 6 win runs back to back, and then just slumped here this weekend. Got a few more 3 win runs but was definitely struggling recently.
As far as placements, it works the same way as events where you match up with similarly ranked people in their runs. So starting out you won’t go against someone with 10 wins, it’ll be someone who’s 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 and then just progress there as you win (or lose!).
But I am a big advocate of the program reward path in BR; in prior years the mode wasn’t entirely accessible/rewarding if not getting at least 9 win runs (which I’ve only done a handful of times), so with the missions and the reward path, it’s absolutely become my preferred online mode.

I haven’t done it myself yet, but you do have the option to restart a season anytime (think square from main menu?). If you do that it should result in new teams being generated, though I think you’ll always have 1-2 teams that are current god squads.
I’ll keep an eye on it myself moving forward, but I think they are trying to have tiers of teams based on the overall rating, that way you do have some lower overall teams mixed in and not just every team is ultimate god squad.

There is a way to avoid going up certain pitchers in mini seasons mode. Similar to conquest, the order that your pitcher is in the rotation based on rating is the same that will be used by your opponent. The only time this can be an issue is if two pitchers have the same rating. Also, with stamina regenerating quicker, I mostly avoid using my ace except for maybe as a reliever in emergency situations.

It would be great if I didn’t lose all my progress after winning the semis due to an unexpected server error
