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 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.
…fun is fleecing teams of their top players. I 'stole' Realmuto for the Mets, and Trea Turner for my Angels season.
Oh this is just scandalous…I love it! It never even crossed my mind that I might be able to pull off some kind of highly advantageous trade…I figured I’d be stuck getting offers for minor leaguers only. I’m going to start paying attention to this…I noticed that both verlander and Diaz aren’t available to use but I’m unsure if the game is reverting to what the rosters were like at the start of the season, or if it’s part of the mode of play and they’ll be trickled in as the season progresses? I thought if I’m only doing a single season I might trade Edwin Diaz if I can’t 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.

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 ‘online’, 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 up…and to my complete and total surprise it’s not populated by cheesers at all! This looks to be an offline type of experience but it’s online? I’m in awe of this…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!
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...
Haha if you could have seen the smile leave my face after my first game and all these decisions about what salary I’m going to pay my team our scouts lol! I was totally the ‘wah-waah-waaaaaah’ game show moment and make no mistake…but I soldiered on and it wasn’t too bad…yet. I wonder, am I going for complete games here (the starter, I should say) or am I supposed to be trying to use the players the cpu is warming up? I didn’t like their choices so far in both games I’ve played (by the way, it’s only partial games it’s a really cool mode!), so I used the players I wanted to…but then if this is about development maybe I should not?
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).
I’ve got a question about the end game reward and progress screens. When I play on DD I think it’s the last page that shows your progress in the repeatable team xp program but when I finish a game in MTO it doesn’t show any progress towards anything. I’m making sure that it’s 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. I’m hoping that I’m still getting credit for it but haven’t checked. Not sure that I’d 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

At least the TA3 cards unlock other players this time around. Just got to 30 myself yesterday. Long ways to go but AL East is done, and NL West is 65% done.

I drop the url in Discord DM.
The more posts I read about MTO, the more I feel I have a grasp on the reason as to why I’m loving it so very much….because I suck hahaha! Seriously, that’s gotta be it! I’ve never played such a mode of video game as this in a very long time but it reminds me of playing back before online was a thing and you always had to ‘make do’ with what the game gave to you at the time of release and that was all you ever got.
Seriously, speaking of my own personal experience and only trying to retell it (always with the disclaimers), but to me this is baseball gaming at its finest! Every single game I’ve played has come down to the wire…I just had the NLCS go 7 games against the Dodgers and I think at least two games went at least 14 innings and never at any moment up until the last out did I feel like I was going to win…but once I did here comes the rewards (think it was 7500) and the packs and all the goodies…I friggin love MTO lol!
One thing that I couldn’t help but notice was these situations arise where you got a runner in scoring position, you’ve got two outs, and you’ve got this ugly lefty catcher having to face Hader with the game on the line…but then you pause and check…there’s Escobar sitting on the bench! Get his [censored] in the game! Then you hit a rocket in the gap that wins the game…to me this is what baseball is all about and I’m enjoying the horsepoo out of it.

I'm glad you discovered another facet of the game you enjoy. I am in continual awe of how many different things this game offers. It has something for everyone. I played Franchise for years (when you could carry your team from one year to the next - and I mean software versions) until I was introduced to DD back in '20. That opened a whole new world for me, and I finally understood what the rewards I kept getting were used for. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why anyone would spend stubs on a digital card they couldn't ever touch or even keep after the year was over - and I had no idea what to do with the cards I would get as rewards because they couldn't be used in Franchise.
The only thing that bugs me about MTO is when you are in a player lock and have to field the ball with someone on base. Having to aim and throw is too much for my skills (like rubbing my belly and tapping my head simultaneously). (Yeah - I know you just tried it LOL).

The only thing that bugs me about MTO is when you are in a player lock and have to field the ball with someone on base. Having to aim and throw is too much for my skills (like rubbing my belly and tapping my head simultaneously). (Yeah - I know you just tried it LOL).
You’re so silly! I had a fit “fast tracking” Alvarez, the catcher for the Mets haha…I didn’t realize I was calling the pitches and then having to try and catch them too I bet I had 5 passed balls before I realized what was even happening but it was fun all the same! Oh brother I ended up player locked at 2B with Jeff McNeil and I don’t think I fielded but 2/6 grounders and I threw them to third base instead of first …if I didn’t throw it into the bleeding dugout, that is! So much fun! Luckily I hit well and still got the boost but I know I single-handedly cost us at least four runs just in my gaffs on defense and we got shellacked accordingly.
My new question is do I just keep going on with the Mets until I have finished NL East for 1,2, and 3? Or should I switch to a different team and keep doing so? What do you recommend?
