Mini Season - Strategy Question?
-
Nothing wrong with skipping. I usually skip the last 8-9 games and lock in the 1 seed so I can get playoff games at home. Starting my 9th run and trying to finish before the next program starts
-
I have completed it 15 times. Load up on the two goals first (strikeouts and RBIs). I have a lineup just set with Vet, Rookie and Breakout pitchers and is loaded with Second half stars for the RBIs. Try to get a schedule where you play more home games at the beginning of the season. I play all home games which is 14 wins and then there are usually a couple teams that are terrible that I play on the road. Goal is usually 20 wins. After that I try to stay the top seed but as long as you are 3rd or better you meet that goal also. If you are really worried about the playoffs, I have also manipulated losses to make sure the Cats and Whales stay out. Like lose two easy games to the 5 place team to bump one of those out. But really on rookie it should be pretty easy.

How do you "skip" one of these games? I have been playing them all
-
The first "season" of mini seasons there was a goal to finish 2nd or better. This time it's only 3rd or better. So yeah once I clench at least 3rd I skip the rest. I usually do this at around 18/20-0 and usually just end up in first.

Start the game and after it loads, just quit. Its an automatic loss. I usually keep a junk pitcher in my pen to start on games i quit so the ones i care about dont take the loss.

Once I finish the missions, 30 hits, 60 rbi with second half card etc. and clinch a spot I just quit out of games to get to the playoffs. Maximize the stubs and XP this way.
This is the way. I also through in the steals on AS last run through….think it only took 3-4 extra games.
Once I can finish at least 3rd, quit and push to playoffs.

For those that do play this mode....once you clinch a playoff spot, do you forfeit (quit) regular season games to start the playoffs sooner (and get the XP rewards)?
This is only my 2nd season I've played and I have about a 15 game cushion with 4 games left. Anything wrong with just skipping ahead to the postseason?
The only teams i play all 4 games against are the Whales and Cats (so they wont win tie breakers against the lower teams) and thats just so i can avoid them in ther playoffs. Not that they're really hard or anything but why make things harder than they need to be?
So i usually look at the schedule first and after those 8 wins, i'll start dropping 1-2 games against the other teams at random. I've gone through 10 mini-seasons and its a strategy that seems to work for me.

If I have everything accomplished I’ll quit. I’ll never get the 20 stolen base mission done so I get my strikeouts, rbis and hof wins
-
I start by checking the schedule. If I have 4 consecutive games against a combination of the Cats and Whales I reset the season (square). This allows me to always set up to use my 4-5 pitchers against the god squads.
I strategically quit/lose games to keep the Cats and/or Whales out of the playoffs. 17 wins usually gets me the number 1 seed.

I have done that as well lose games to bump a team out.
