Are we really being forced to do pxp missions this hard?

They also force you to do the collection with your sellable cards, then give you non sellable at the end. They are losers at sds
And I'm happy to collect those cards for whatever collection they help me get later. Betts and Griffey were great cards last year... Not so much the pitchers.
Big picture at the end of the day.

What’s the goal to get through Stage 2? Seems very long and half the players u don’t get in packs so?
Exactly, is it get to Rizzo unlocks stage 3 or do you have to clear every stage 2 pxp mission? If it’s the latter I would need to spend about 50k to get no sell cards and that won’t happen. I will just stop with rizzo.
It does seem you need to do every pxp mission unless u buy all 9 of the POTM cards in order to get to Dawson and Rizzo
Why are the Topps now pxp and Monthly awards pxp not repeatable in stage 2? That’s confusing

You don't have to spend a dime. There are two Stage 2 Collections. One is Collect 5, which you get along the way, and the other is Collect 9, where you get the last four as non sellable.

No. You don't need to buy any of them.
Ummm, you do know that you CANT complete the Optional Collection UNTIL you get past Rizzo?
There are TWO collections. First one is to Collect Five POTM cards, which you HAVE to do to get Rizzo, and they give you Five packs to get those cards.
Then after you get past Rizzo; you get the last 4 of the 9 total POTM players. Those 4 go towards the Optional which is 9 cards.
They made the last four non sellable so you had to pick the remaining four and couldn't pick doubles of ones you already locked in.

I must be missing something then what do you need to accomplish in order to get all the points needed for stage two I see the collection where you lock in the five for 15 points I did all the moments and I did all of the PXP for many points like to 15 points but I still feel like I don’t have enough

After doing all the moments you need to do the Topps Now mission for 10 points. That'll get you 3 88 packs. Then you have to do their pxp missions. Then you'll get a 90 pack. You have to do that guys pxp mission. Then you have to use those 4 guys to get 2500 hitter pxp and 3000 pitcher pxp, which is quite a grind. Then you'll get the 2nd 90 pack and can do that that guys pxp mission and will be able to to the first collection. Then you'll get Dawson and have to do his pxp mission and then you're done stage 2

Ok thank you

I need 24 points right now. I can only achieve 19 that’s with the 4 from Ward and the 2500 pxp with monthly awards hitters. I’ll have to parallel ward almost to 3 for that. I see that the 10 points for the topps now mission is incomplete on the first stage but not stage 2. I have played more topps now but it won’t unlock. I’m so confused about all of this. I’m not going to buy these cards. This seems shady

Stage 2 starts at 65 points.
Stage 2 Moments 33 total(98)
Topps now PXP 10(108)
3 88 overall monthly awards missions 3 each(117)
Monthly Awards 90 overall missions 4 each(125)
15 each for PXP with monthly award Hitters and pitchers(155)
Collection gets you Dawson
PXP with dawson gets you rizzo
If you sold Your 88 overalls or took 3 pitchers that is your own fault -
What we crying about today?

You mean to tell me that I have to pay attention to what I am doing when playing this game and ensure I make the right choices and I can't just exchange everything I have in my binder to get the cards I need
Also you mean to tell me I actually have to use they cards the put in the game to get the program done and I can't just use my God squad on rookie and blow up the Orioles.
The audacity of SDS

That is definitely true. Just another case of you can't please everyone. I personally am not a huge fan of PXP missions. For some reason they seem more grindy than last years missions, although I am not sure why.
As someone who does not play nearly as much as others around here do, and who only plays offline on veteran, the PXP grind seems slow. I am not a fan of the fact that to make progress in almost every program I need to spend most of my time playing using a squad of players that I do not care about while my main squad of players that I want to use sits dormant.
I'll be trying to finish the POTM program though and see how it goes.

Yeah this part makes no sense. Same cards you could pick earlier and sell, are later in stage 3 packs no sell.
Because why?
To punish dumbasses like me who bought some of them only to realize the ones at the end are no sell.
It’s okay though. I’ve pulled Trout, Vlad, 3 DeGroms...lots more. I’m playing with house money.
Sure you have, you don't have to lie to kick it..we don't know you

I also can't complete round 2 without buying two additional not provided players and doing their individual pxp missions. Any round 1 points left on the board are unattainable.
-
The fact that it is so convoluted that even the most educated of us cant do the math or figure out what we actually need to do to get to Rizzo or Dawson, or figure out the most efficient way to do it, speaks volumes of the program. I think they could easily streamline the process with changes in the menus.
Some great explanations on here and I appreciate the help, but if it takes more that 8 sentences to explain what you need to do the game becomes more of a chore than a game. -
I sold 0 players. Never did the Topps now pxp before it moved me to round 2. So now I have to buy 2 players, lol. Where was this explained in the game?
