Do you mean Dilithium Crystals aren't good enough? I mean, they can stabilize an anti-matter reactor...you'd think they'd work. I know the ones on Earth won't do, but maybe Mars? Maybe Kyber Crystals will do it. They can focus energy down to a tight beam. C'mon, tell your son not to give up so easily. Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas wouldn't have mentioned them, if they didn't work. Right?
Weāve decided to try and prototype our own Energon Cubes. Weāve been met with limited success at this stageā¦but then again mark1 was only a milk crate with a 9-volt battery taped to the inside but HEY.ā¦.weāll get there

My favorite is the Giants, thrashed them again (18-2) this morning using a lineup of AL East set 2 and 3 cards, I will face all 30 teams as my method for working through TA3 seeing that mini seasons 3 is a complete mess.
Do MTO instead. You won't be sorry.
I saw you say that before. I went thru online and offline single modes and absolutely could not figure out what you meant by it. What is it?
ps Giants are my fav team to pick on as well, @samguenther1987
March to October. In the menu below DD. Don't do it offline though (it can be played offline). You won't get the points for TA if you do. The game has to sync with TA in order to award the points, and TA is only online.
Hey! What is this wizardry! When you said āonlineā, my mind went straight to 15 straight pitches in the dirt and bunt doubles! However, since you recommended it I went ahead and fired it upā¦and to my complete and total surprise itās not populated by cheesers at all! This looks to be an offline type of experience but itās online? Iām in awe of thisā¦and you say this is one of the more efficient modes to complete xp, get rewards, etc? I picked rookie per your mention elsewhere and have found it to be quite fun and not stressful at all so far! Brother, I thank you yet again!

You have to start mto outside of DD correct? I don't see the option anywhere inside DD. Just want to make sure I don't waste my time.

No - it's not online. It's completely offline vs CPU, but to get the points for TA you need to make sure you are online, so it can sync the points to TA. If not, you'll lose them...take it from someone who knows...

I struggle with MTO though, it just seems so rigged for you to lose, i traded for Ian Happ, he proceeded to hit 3 perfect perfects right to the wall only to be caught each time. For some reason this mode hates me. I would much rather win 5 against the cpu in mini seasons then put up with the cpu do everything it can to make me lose.

Now thatās very interesting - Iām having the complete opposite experience but then Iām using the Mets my first time thru and playing only on rookie so far haha! I had a bad feeling too when my first game (which started 2-2 in the 7th) went 14 innings and ended 3-2ā¦except I got the win! Oh I was abysmal playing locked at 2B with Jeff McNeil lol except I went 4-4 somehow but we got destroyed that game due to my 4 errors at Second lol Still yet it rewarded me with an upgrade boost I guess due to the hitting. I also find this mode extremely immersive - itās undoubtedly due to my never having played he game as much as most but itās been a nice change of pace!

Don't worry about what the CPU wants. Play who you want. It doesn't matter because, after the last game, it all resets. You get points for winning, the better your record, the better your points. I don't even bother with development or trades (unless it's someone I really need).

OMG. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this.
I only played it for the 5 star off-season trophy, and the Postseason one.. It was "heck" on ROOKIE!! It got so bad that I dropped the difficulty to Minors, I think. Then I did 2 seasons to get Season 3 XP. One Mets and one Angels. The fun is fleecing teams of their top players. I 'stole' Realmuto for the Mets, and Trea Turner for my Angels season.
I did finally pass the 'Finish the no-hitter' mission, first time in 3 Show games, lol.
I really despise this mode now. -

Oh this is just scandalousā¦I love it! It never even crossed my mind that I might be able to pull off some kind of highly advantageous tradeā¦I figured Iād be stuck getting offers for minor leaguers only. Iām going to start paying attention to thisā¦I noticed that both verlander and Diaz arenāt available to use but Iām unsure if the game is reverting to what the rosters were like at the start of the season, or if itās part of the mode of play and theyāll be trickled in as the season progresses? I thought if Iām only doing a single season I might trade Edwin Diaz if I canāt use him and get me someone gooood

I was trying to wrap up affinity 3 on my last remaining divisions this morning. Played on Rookie at Coors and scored 45 runs. Gary Sanchez went 9 for 9. Three others went 7 for 9. Still gave up a run.

Iāve got a question about the end game reward and progress screens. When I play on DD I think itās the last page that shows your progress in the repeatable team xp program but when I finish a game in MTO it doesnāt show any progress towards anything. Iām making sure that itās connected each time before I start the mode. I got to DD then back out to the main screen and then open it from there. Am I doing something wrong you think or does it even show the progress at all I wonder. Iām hoping that Iām still getting credit for it but havenāt checked. Not sure that Iād even know at this point lol

You get your points at the all star break, end of the regular season, ALDS/NLDS win, ALCS/NLCS win, and world series. When you get to those points, a screen will tell you how many points you earned. Then, when you go into TA and look at the division you were working on, you will see your points increased by that much (across all unfinished seasons for that division). For rookie, you can earn up to 42,500 points, and more if you play at a higher difficulty. It's not for me, but if you play on legend, your potential points are 97,500 - or about 2/3 of the program. @BxnnyMxn__PSN

Always. If you haven't downloaded my TA 1 spreadsheet, I have a table for MTO and a drop-down on each division to give max points per level. I'd offer TA 2, but I'm working in TA 2 and every day I add something fun to the spreadsheet... (actually, I took a break to finish the AS program, but I'll get back to TA 2 soon). I mean, if you want TA 2, you can have it too, but I keep finding things I want in it, so it keeps changing. @BxnnyMxn__PSN
