Is BR the way to go to earn big rewards?
-
thanks for the intel guys - i had no idea it was such a cash cow - you sold me i will try this weekend

BR has always been the way to make many stubs if you can consistently make deep runs or go 12-0. Early in the game cycle the high diamonds are very expensive and later on the supply/demand for the flawless cards inflates the prices of all those cards.

Just hit the 95 mark....sold Mussina and Morgan Takashi. The Takashi cards are over 400K. Then I got Walter at 100 points. I need one card....Seager!!!!!!!!

You guys make it sound so easy. I've tried BR a few times this year (and again this morning), and I never make it past a third game. I'd rather spend my 1,500 stubs somewhere else.

Can’t speak to previous iterations of BR, but I’ll repeat what I said about the Milestone Showdown:
Even dorks like me can finish it.
Not this time...

I'm down to one... Finest Verlander. I'm hoping to pick that up at 5 wins in the next event. But... then I'll be 3 short due to the... event.
LOVE that Seager card.

But why not just keep entering. You don’t have to go 12-0, just keep building XP for the missions. It’s just like the regular programs… build xp, progress thru the program and you get rewards. I played maybe 2, sometimes 3 games a night, lost more than I won, but kept building XP along the way. In approx a week I had Trout. I’m doing it again just for the rewards. Looking at the prices now for those high diamonds, 15-20K in entry cost is nothing.

Be dorkier.
Take all rookies, breakout, all stars and vets. Bat/pitch them first. The PXP piles up quicker than you realize. I’m in the middle of Entry #6 and I’m already up to 57 points.

Last night I had 6 points to go to get to 100. I ended up re drafting 11 times to get the players I wanted for missions. I know that's excessive. But stubs are hanging from trees at this point. Case in point: I spent 16,500 on drafts for this one run. After 2 Games (one win and one loss) I got to 9 points and got Mussina, Joe Morgan and Walter Johnson.
Johnson= 1 Million stubs
Mussina-= 430K stubs
Morgan= 435k stubsI spent 16,500 stubs and made back 1.86 million.
Moral of the story- I don't know, just play BR.

Okay - so I need to look at this more like a program than a showdown. I'll make a spreadsheet outlining the missions and reward path and then give it a shot. I'll try not to think about the entry stubs (which is why I thought of it more like a showdown).
(this was on my 2023 list of things to learn, along with pinpoint, so I may as well get a head start on it.)

Me so far:
Entries: 7 (-9000K. First one was the freebie)
Points earned so far: 65 (still have the 15K and 25K whales left)Earnings from Free Packs (plus win 3 reward): 3267
Earnings from Bronze Packs: 27,000
Earnings from Silver Packs: 27,000
Earnings from Gold Packs: 112,500 with a Mauer to go
Earnings from 3 Headliners at 50 points: 2700Total profit (so far): 163,467. Even if it takes me another 109 entries to get those last 35 points, I'm still coming out ahead given the remaining rewards in the path.
Dorkalicious!

Whales? Are you in mini-seasons?
I get how to get ahead in BR now. Thanks for helping to understand this. Out of the two games I played this morning, I have 0 points. I don't think my first trip through will be profitable, because there are a lot of cards I don't have - unless - I sell them and don't collect them, or, sell them and buy them back at a lower price (flip).

Whales?
You get 15 point hauls at 15K and 25K PXP.

I've entered 4 times today and won 6 games. I did get a repeatable Rookie goal, so I got the double bronze packs, but I really don't know if this is economical for me.
I need every one of those bronze cards for the collections, so I have to make a decision, sell them for 2500 a piece, or collect them. Deskisions, deskisions, deskisions.

Don't forget to sell the dupes from your free packs. Add in the other rando packs and headliners you earn in the path and the entry fees pay for themselves.

I didn’t have any dupes. Well, I did have some of the TN and a Veteran card but everything else was new for me. I picked up 6 Rookie cards. I got a silver Live card when I hit 3 wins and sold that, but not for much.
If I would have played BR all season, then I’d have dupes. I will say that it was cheaper than buying the 6 cards.

Thanks! Keep going at it, you'll get there eventually.

You really need to do it. I'll set up a Teams meeting!
