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.)
You really need to do it. I'll set up a Teams meeting!
I know. It's just demoralizing to lose more than I win and not get much accomplished toward completing missions. It felt like I was spinning my wheels in the last entry.
It's great getting the new cards I need for collections when I am able to reach a reward. If I ever get to the point of getting dupes, then I can sell them to get some of the stubs back.
I realize I'm late to the party and won't realize the best opportunity to make stubs off the cards, but this is the best time to learn.
Another frustration is not being able to draft the cards I need to complete missions (Veteran pitchers come to mind).
I'll do it some more, I just need to psych myself into it.

Don't look at it that way. I've had stretches where I win 9 games in a run (rarely) and others where I lose two straight. I focus 100% on the missions, and when I win... Bonus!

This thread inspired me.
I started yesterday morning and just got to 100 points now.
Rewards earned must have been over 2m in the end.
Managed to complete Mantle and have enough left over to buy Goose and Cueto
Well worth it.
I still haven’t completed Takashi. But I’m not that bothered.

Thank you very much. I took Johnson. It was a heart-wrenching decision, but I did it.

I just completed it for my 2nd time. Took Walter J. Debating whether I should sell or not. I can get a couple of pitchers and still have change left.

You can reset the points to zero and start over?

Yes…once I hit 100, I wasn’t interested in continuing so I “forfeit” the entry which resets the xp to zero when you start another draft.

I got to 104 points but I still need more of the collection cards, so I’m going to try this. Thanks.

I make several million stubs by getting to 30 event wins fairly early on each event. There are always one or two players with million stub buy orders lined up and several rewind packs.

Rewarding despite being infuriating, hard to put streaks together in what feel like highly rigged games. Every time I take a lead I am immediately met with multiple towering home runs off pitches I didn't even remotely put in the zone. Opponents seem to have endless miracles. I don't have any luck at all on my side and on the rare occasion I catch a break, the aserunner AI conveniently falls asleep. All this despite being matched at the bottom of the barrel? Highly suspect. Kinda hard to put together winning streaks when you're being straight up cheated. I really hate online modes.

This is the first year I've started with BR and will be doing it for now on. You don't even really need to win to advance through it and sometimes you'll run into someone that just lets you tee off to advance faster.

I am away from my console right now, but does this really work? I thought I had to wait until Jan 6 for the next BR to start for me to collect the last few Bronze cards I need for a Mantle ticket, but if I can reset back to zero and start grinding through the points again, I will definitely do that.

I reread your sentence.
In order to reset the points back to zero, you need to do that on the very first entry you go into, right?
In my case, I've had several (probably 40) entries to get to 104 points. Will this still work for me to reset the points back to zero?

I just tried this and it did not reset my points back to zero - they stayed at 104. I think he meant to type that on the very first BR entry you can forfeit and it will reset the points. I guess he was able to get to 100 points on his first entry.

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.
You don't have to win every game, just finish the missions and you get rewards . I got Trout and Walter Johnson that way.

Thanks. I learned that. I took Walter Johnson. If they do another BR, then I’ll take Trout.
