@TEXAS10PT_PSN and @Ericulous1_PSN :
I cannot thank you fellas enough for sharing your wisdom with me today. This is the kind of info that I’ve so desperately needed these last several months! Wanna hear something else ridiculous? I pitched EVERY game with my created pitcher for 5 seasons in RTTS before I accidentally figured out that one could skip this while still improving your player! I’m still afraid to touch the sliders but I’ve considered it to see if I can get my created pitcher to get as many strikeouts during SIM as I do against the hapless cpu when I’m pitching haha!
I’m about to start my first BR right now, and it’s like it was the first time I played! All new and thrilling - I have all of y’all to thank for this. I’m serious - I’m a real life person who you guys have helped today and my gratitude is also very real and true - this is what it’s all about if you ask me..

Another point worth mentioning that took me awhile to figure out. Before starting the first game, you are presented your batting lineup in order of catcher-infielders-outfielders. You can reorder them by moving the cursor up into the lineup and selecting players and shifting them. I still occasionally see opponents with the default order and I am pretty sure the players do not know they can reorder. I always hit my mission players at the top to maximize their at bats for more points. Sure, it means my diamonds hit lower, but I am there for mission points more than wins.

Glad to hear man. I started playing in 21 and guys like @TEXAS10PT_PSN, @the_dragon1912, @arvcpa_MLBTS and @SaveFarris_PSN amongst others helped me get through the season and complete just about everything haha. There are mostly good dudes on here. If you ever have any questions, I’m happy to help if I know and defer to some of the godfathers if not. There are many others that I haven’t seen on here as much but maybe when 23 starts, they’ll be back. BR is my favorite online program and the most rewarding. Don’t worry about losing (although winning is fun too). Just keep nailing those missions. I believe they are mostly repeatable now.

When the new game comes out, are there repeatable pxp missions like there are now. I know they won't have the rewind until the end, but hiw many cards do you get to choose from when you get the 100 points? I just started playing BR11.

By the time you hit 100 points, you will have gotten two packs with the 99 expensive cards. You get one card from each pack.
You can see the reward path from within BR and if you hit triangle on those packs, you can see what cards are in there to choose from.

Are there repeatable missions early on too?

Yes. You can start working on them in your first game. I have a spreadsheet that can help organize your drafts to get the most done in the missions, if you want to use it.

Rewatching last year's DD stream, the Bronze/Silver/Gold XP missions were NOT repeatable in the 1st BR season. Luckily, BR rewards don't usually get super expensive until July or so.

If you’re asking about when 23 comes out, the pxp missions didn’t become repeatable until the end of the game cycle. You can repeat the 9 in a row and 12 in a row but I’ve never done that haha. However, it is still absolutely doable. I have never won more than 5 games in a row and very seldom have I done that. Yea, winning and more importantly hitting and scoring helps you do it faster but the PXP and series missions along with the bronze silver and gold mission plus a few wins now and then will get you there.

“… and if you hit triangle on those packs, you can see what cards are in there.”Holy hand grenades, Batman! How incredible is that? You inspired me to go back through my completed and partially completed Programs and was flabbergasted - it’s like having X-ray vision or something…and I’m friggin’ stoked because many of these cards are the VERY ones I need to close out like 4 collections, which, in turn, makes me realize how close I am to having Rollins and Mantle! This is so thrilling to me, fellers
