Mini Season Farming Dead ?? ....
-
Yeah those repeatable missions are basically impossible in one season so I don't know this yet, but I'm assuming they will carry over to the next time you play mini seasons. If not, that is yet another ridiculous change by SDS and will severely hurt grinders yet again
-
Start one mini season game,finish it then restart then check the goals to see if it carries over
-
Offline grind hell. Sds really went backwards imo. I don't mind grinding for stuff but this is crazy.
-
I am assuming the ms counters carry over, and the rewards they give are (imo) significantly better than packs as they are shop packs, and not just the pipeline ones...seems like future ones will be there too. There is also the 5k xp and 2k stubs that is repeatable, which isnt really enough for playing 20+ games. Im also hoping they intend to release more ms this year so there is less need to repeat
The big key will be how much content they release. If its like last year, then they really need to add the grindables back. If they give us a new ms each inning + refresh the classic one's rewards, I think its fine for ms.
Conquest should have a repeatable map either way though.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Didn’t they take out the 3 games for 5 packs repeatable one last year? 23 was the last year IIRC. A repeatable USA map is too big for me lol
-
Mini Seasons literally takes less time than the US conquest map that ppl used to grind in previous years and gives more rewards. While also giving you 3 free golds and a free diamond (in the CC one)
And you guys have to remember, this is early access. They are very much going to add more content and there's nothing to say those wont be even more repeatable.

Go back in now and see what is labeled as 'repeatable'.

They have to carry over. No way do they expect a player to get those stats over one mini season
If I’m wrong, they gotta correct that surely
-
@yankblan_PSN They have been slowly and steadily eliminating ways to make stubs since the 3rd year of cross console play (2023 I think that was). And now they have moved a step further by taking away farming The Show packs.
They used to give repeatable prosects cards in the US Map too. They took that away entirely last year or the year before.
IMO the new game mode is trash and not even worth the time. I always hope they eliminate showdown entirely but instead they added it to another mode. Grrrrreeaaaattt!!!
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN They carry over. I just finished one and started a new one. The thing I think is stupid about mini seasons is they put 6 of the other teams right about the same team level but then they put the last two 6-8 team levels above your squad. I don't remember ever playing mini seasons where I was 6-8 team ranking behind any of the CPU teams Maybe it has something to do with being pre launch (week 0).

The grind is DQ. Uncover every space, beat the goblin it's like a guaranteed 10k+ for an hour of play
-
@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN I prefer playing actual games in the sports games I play. Never been a fan of showdown and diamond quest is full of Showdown missions. For me it's a big "meh".
-
@MagentaTundra97_XBL I’m not arguing the “fun” of Showdowns, believe me. I do them only when I have to, or if the progression vs grind ratio is worth it. At least they’ve added the stats missions to it, and the ones incorporated into DQ aren’t too bad (so far). They’ve made him generally easier since the first year (20) when I could’ve punched through a wall I got so mad.
It is waaay early, but it’s probably the most fun I’ve had since 19. 20 was similar but TA were a chore, then they added a bloated blood diamond series the next year, then moved on from Innings to go full on FOMO timed programs. I think they’re doing a decent job of giving everyone what they want while trying not to alienate too many people at the same time. Not easy.
As far as stubs making, people may have a point, but I pretty much play/collect/clear the binders once in awhile so it doesn’t bother me. I’ve learned that being a completionist in this game will drive you mad; I reserve that mindset for other, offline games.

I played DQ today. Got two of the Pipeline cards but other than a bunch of bronze and silvers, was underwhelmed based on all the online chatter about rewards. Only think I didn’t do was play the sweeper. Is that something I should do?
-
People just look at things in a vacuum.
Yes, it appears they are putting less stubs into the game. If everything else was the same this would be bad.
However, they have redone how they handle packs, putting them in show packs and generally more availableWhat are the impacts?
- We have less stubs
- Everything in the entire game, besides live series. is cheaper on the market
- If you did want to buy stubs, you get more value for your dollar because of the deflation
Now we dont know for sure if future packs will be as easy to get as pipeline cards are, but if this holds up this is a big W for the majority of people. Of course the potential is there for the rug to be pulled out from under us, but there is no clear sign they will do so
-
@bostondirtdog21_PSN yea you get a 5 pack when you beat them, go for it early. and then the bronze and silver packs from the moments are decent value. pieced out 2k+ easy if you have a bunch. it adds up.
-
I'm wondering if these were set high for early access to prevent ppl from getting too far ahead and now game has released they might adjust them.

The good news is I can confirm those massive stat goals do carry over.
I finished my first mini season last night, started a new one and all my stats carried over.
Now the real question is whether or not they reset midseason.
-
So it looks like it's going to take you about 3 full play through to get all the repeatable missons done in mini seasons if I'm wrong please correct me. And it looks like the new series mini seasons has no repeatable misson. If they keep it like this all year long they need to make the rewards better at the end of the mini seasons. If they don't then op is right.
