Not that difficult... beat the 3 showdowns, 3 conquest maps, 30 moments, play the game with players that aren't listed as "free agents" and do the captain missions... I've completed both East Divisions and I am nearing completion on AL West with NL West sure to follow... Central are only divisions I haven't gotten around to getting a lot of their players in my lineup but hopefully once I do their Conquest and Showdown I'll know where I'm at... plus the program doesn't expire so you can still do TA1 while TA2 is out which might also mean that certain PXP and XP and stats and such stack... unless they specify that the players have to be from Set 2 in TA2 but I'm thinking it'll stick with the same model as TA1.
Hahaha I thought the first half of your post was definitely going to be sarcasm. I’m good though. I’d rather play ranked seasons and other modes that are actually fun with cards that I earned and want to use that’ll only be available for 60 more days. And I don’t dislike sets at all. I just made this post last night after seeing the insane amount of points required to earn mostly unusable cards in TA. I don’t derive satisfaction from collecting cards like others, I just want good cards to go head to head with.
People get a little too worked up around here don’t they?
Those cards should not be ignored. They will significantly cut down on the amount of cards needed to get the boss cards. But you do you.
For some people, playing the modes they like (such as RS) is more enjoyable for them and they would rather spend their time that way. I am trying convert myself to that mindset rather than feeling like I need to have every card and complete every collection. I want to spend my time playing this game in the way that is enjoyable for myself. A person could spend a weekend afternoon or two flipping and have the stubs to buy Trout, Sasaki, Realmuto, Lindor and Murakami. I absolutely love Trea, Pedro, Chipper and Babe...but collecting all the cards needed for that may just not be worth it to everyone. Not to mention they are all Set 1 cards anyway, so it is not like the collection rewards are move valuable in that aspect.
This 100%. Play how you want to play. But understand that it all comes with a tradeoff. If you love playing RS with FA cards you won't progress in TA as much. If you love to grind MS, you will.
Choices.
Some people on here whine because they can't have everything while only doing some things.

Oh shut up dude you’re one of the most notorious whiners on this forum hahah. I’m allowed to say the TA grind is hard, get a life dork

Seems strange no programs have had any additional things added to them and TA could really use some. Even a reward for collecting the division or each team or something. No mission for the Charisma players, just a moment for 1000 xp. They have waaaaaay to many programs that are all the same. They should have less programs, more creativity, and more options to earn them how each person wants.
The egg program was at least fun for a few hours. Hidden missions from years passed just mixed things up as well. So vanilla these days. The Griffey Program is still the best ever IMO and most people didn’t even finish it. It was fun doing lots of little goals that earned big rewards and then huge rewards. Remember Pepe Alazar? It was dumb but they tried something fun and different.
Rookie to Prime/SS/Awards should have 100% made a return already. Put them in TA, don’t make it a requirement just make it available. Same with the collection, same with so many other things. Need more options in everything they put out.

Been done for weeks
Speaking of unbearable LOL
Another complete mouthbreather lol. You'll figure them out.
This guy is a shill for the game. He acts like if he is the biggest fanboy possible that sds might let him be a mod.

Are there that many good FA cards? I assumed that all the collection cards work for those teams they're on. I know there's a few from WBC and some live series but are there others I'm not realizing?

Murakami and Sasaki are the main ones. Nothing that would really impact anyone from making huge progress in a program though.

You're sharing players with another human. So should you get pxp if your teammate hits 2 nukes with your guy and you strike out twice with him???
Pretty simple and pretty fair, I think.
I don’t think it’s simple and it’s definitely not fair. Just my opinion.
Simple and easy are two different things. And nobody said you have to finish at any particular point. You can get them all for free. How is it unfair? Explain.
First you ask a question and answer it on your first post. Then give me a demand in this one. Please find someone else to troll.

I like it.
I do a teams collection and play w the live series plus captain and play 9 innings games vs cpu on legend.It is hard to beat cpu bit doesnt matter.
Fun 9 inning game and then honto bed.

Engaging in a little forum debate is trolling? Wow, you get triggered easily. If you're going to label a game that throws free 99's at you "unfair" for having to grind, then maybe be prepared to explain what you mean by "unfair." That's a word children use when they're whining. So...
Also, ease up on the rhetorical analysis, lol. How's this: Can you kindly explain what you mean by "unfair"? Do you feel less oppressed now? (I won't answer that one for you, but we both know the answer...)

Say whatever you want! But then be prepared for some back and forth. And feel free to take issue with the things I whine about. "Get a life, dork" -- haha, good one!

You do realize there are Charisma cards and Captains in TA right?

Ya it’s ridiculous. I’m fine without completing it to be honest. I’ll grind events with lineups for TA just to warm up for ranked but I’m so burned out playing the CPU on rookie mode.. I did enough grinding to get some charismas I wanted and got to trae turned. About 12 cards away from getting chipper and I’m just waiting for the next topps cards to get that and I’m good on TA
-
I'm at:
NL East 100&
NL West 86%
AL East 77%
AL West 76%
Both Centrals 11%
I want to finish because part 2 is coming, but there really is no rush if you play 98% offline, unless you feel it's your duty to post 'Fastest way to complete this' videos.
Those vids irk me, btw! -
I bought the game at launch and play maybe 3 hours a week while the baby's up at night and can't sleep. I may never finish it, but I don't give 6 eff's.
