Team Affinity
-
Since Ch 3 doesn't expire I'm letting it sit there and accumulate stats as I do other things. There's no rush to complete it, so I'm not worrying about it. That is how I am approaching the game now. Just play the way I like and if it doesn't accomplish any of their goals, so be it. I can live with that.

Chapter 1 was a normal team affinity, chapter 2 at first glance looked like it would take longer but actually flew by because of the repeatable boss missions, and now chapter 3 is just a major time suck. I played for probably 6 hours this weekend (not including the ~3-4 hours for the extreme showdown which i finished) and was able to get the AL East finished and NL West to like 50%, and that was with burning all my stubs on some exchanges. NL East, AL/NL Central, and AL West are all at like 10-20% from just using pitchers from those teams occasionally. Probably a 24 hour grind if you're really efficient about it, give or take a few hours based on how quickly you can finish the extreme showdown.
They are literally just milking us via FOMO by making the collection rewards harder to reach. You've put 100 hours into our game over the last two months grinding all the free content you're used to? Aw man, you still don't have that Willie Mays you want that has been sitting there in the collections tab all year? That sucks! Better give us a few hundred dollars so you can get there in the collections and use him for the next 3 weeks!

They should have done team affinity chapter 1 and 2 collections for progress on chapter 3.

Edit: My comment was pointless, so I removed it.

No offense…if you want it all don’t be a casual. I have no sympathy for people who don’t get what I have because I can put in the work and they can’t. I have a 9-5 3 boys all involved in baseball and I find time. You get rewarded in life for the work you put in not what you think you are owed

@LIONED-33 So, your wife gets the short end of the stick, figuratively and literally?

I just gave in & did the exchanges once I realized completing the conquest AND showdown gets you 8 vouchers combined which earns only 24,000 TA points in the program. Got the 6 choice packs within minutes instead of weeks
I typically don't do exchanges, but... SDS wins. I exchanged EVERYTHING I have. I'm just burned out and want to finish Season 1. I'm going to see how close I can get to the collection rewards, but I'm certainly going to have to buy more cards.
For Season 2... well... I just don't care. I don't want to start over. I'll still play, but no matter who the collection rewards will be, I probably won't be getting them. Plus, like a lot of other folks have said, I have bigger things to do this summer. This will be the first time... ever?... that I've scaled back this early.

Make them all grind on your account! Living here ain't free kids - get on that Conquest map.

I play this game quite a bit and I still have the al east and al central to finish chapter 2. It's almost like having a part time job to try and get things done in this game.

There’s the guy I remember from last year. Flexing his 9-5 and dad of the year award along with his insane work ethic that gets him what he deserves in life. I got news for you my man. Hard work doesn’t pay off as much or as often as you think. This is a video game and being good at it or feeling you are entitled to this or that because you are good or “work harder” at it is laughable. I too work full time, in healthcare, which is more than a typical 9-5 gig. I’m married with kids and get up every single day to hit the gym before 99% of people even wake up. Then I go help people get better and recover from illness, injury, or both. That’s not me flexing to stroke my own ego. It’s just making a point that even with all that going on I don’t feel like working longer or harder at this game makes people special in any way, shape, or form. If flaunting your achievements in this game makes you feel better about your life while putting down lesser skilled or casual players in the process then that says a lot about you. At the end of the day this is a game, not real life, so please stop acting like the same rules actually apply.

Even if it is possible to do for the casual gamer, thanks for making it as boring as possible....the only thing offline guys like us can do is the following:
Make your line-up full of (whatever division your doing) with the past Bosses.
Play the same conquest map over and over OR Play vs CPU over and over.
Yay.....thanks SDS
I suppose you could do the same Showdown over and over also
-
I've never truly understood the compulsion to finish all the programs and collect all the things... I mean, it's a game, and it's supposed to be something fun to do in your off time; why not just complete the things that earn you the cards you actually want to use and let the rest just happen (it does, eventually) as you play baseball games?
Video games are supposed to be a pastime, for fun, not another job, and certainly not a source of pride because you "put in the work." That's just weird. This use of "casual" is weird, too... if you aren't "a casual," but you aren't getting paid as a professional, then what are you doing, exactly?
-
The missions are stupid. Its almost as if they dont realize that its impossible to get 2 saves in mini seasons when you're smashing the CPUby 5-6 runs regularly. I wish they just did Hits/Ks across all modes instead of splitting them up by MS/Conquest/Vs
Im not even in a rush anyway. We have no content coming til Friday and then after that, we have nothing til next Friday.
-
Yeah chapter 1 was probably the easiest with chapter 2 not that worse but chapter 3 sucks and I know most of you have lives I don't really but my doctors have only given me 6 months to live and I don't think I'll have this and my other game done before my times up
-
@GixxerRyder750 if you only score 3 runs or less in the 1st inning and you're winning, bring in a relief pitcher and keep him in. As long as he finishes the game, no matter how many runs you win by, he'll still get the save. Hope it helps
-
@LIONED-33 OMG you’re one of those guys in Madden that I hear screaming & yelling at their kids & wife to leave them alone.

@BJDUBBYAH said in Team Affinity:
@Healthy-Jew what’s your method for gaining TA progress?
If you’re doing Play vs. CPU it’s going to take much longer than other methods.
Aside from the extreme moments and showdown, which I personally don’t do, building a squad with bosses from one division in Mini Seasons is a great way to knock out repeatable missions. In a matter of a few games you can gain 10, 15, even 20k plus get a voucher every four wins.
But yes I do agree, even done as efficiently as possible, a lot of players not going to have the time to dedicate to it, and some hate grinding against the CPU and will rely solely on the online missions.
Yup, I have been playing TA mini season with a lineup of TA bosses from one division. I got NL Central, AL East done and just got fourth boss for AL Central last night.
To me this best way, getting double dip of division hits and saves along with PXP of bosses. The rewards are vouchers, so its actually triple. I will be done with TA3 by next week depending on how much of life gets in the way.
I have no complaints about TA3.

Yes.
Or if you want, you can get 2 outs in the 3rd inning and then walk batters to put yourself in a save situation. Which is the tying run on deck. So if you are up 5-0. You just need to walk the bases loaded.
If you are up by more than 5 you have to walk some runs in to close the gap to 5.
Oh I forgot obviously you have to change pitchers once it becomes a save situation. You can't get the save with the guy who allowed it to be a save situation. But that guy should get a hold which I think is more PXP.

@TripleH-4481 hard work pays off. period. Sorry you dont think that way and think that everything should be handed to you. you are flexing and you're probably not even telling the truth. Bottomline hardwork and outworking everyone around you will always pay off. BTW, i'm not dad of the year, but my kids live good. Sorry you feel you shouldnt work hard for everything. Peace.

@YeahBruv412 3 things, i dont play madden, i dont use a headset, i also only play when my kids are in bed, but hey please continue.
