No Repeatable Conquest Maps?

@RealMessiah_XBL So, do you beeline for the stadiums and forfeit everything along the way? What difficulty do you play them on?

@GoozeFn_PSN i just played one after reading to just skip everything but the stadium challenges. That's upwards of 4-5 the show packs an hour. As someone who played the US Map 150+ times per season to get the show packs, I learned today DQ will give you at least 1.5x the number of show packs in the same time it took.to clear the big map.
So 30 packs instead of 20 packs for 30 games. You also get them 1 pack at a time rather than 20 at completion. I still wish there was a repeatable conquest map though but DQ seems like a good way to farm basic packs.
And MS is 15 packs plus ballin plus 5k xp for ~22 games.
As you play multiple seasons you start earning the shop packs, which arent limited to pipeline (future drops should be in there)Both of these options will be more value over time than USA conquest, but some people would just rather play conquest for less packs like they did last year and I hope SDS addresses it

@LadySwampfox_XBL Completely agree. The USA map was great to have in your pocket to grind stats and at the end you got 3k stubs and a 20 pack (or was it a 10 pack) -- regardless it was a decent bonus every time through.
To have taken that away is a bummer. I cant help but jump right to thinking, its about removing those extra rewards...otherwise why not have the 3 split maps have repeatable rewards to replace the old giant map.
I doubt it was an oversight.
It suckssssss. As an offline only player who doesn’t spend real money aside from buying the game, it makes me suspicious? If that makes sense? Like any time a mode that’s a great way to earn rewards though gameplay is affected like this, I can’t help but feel like it’s intentional on their part.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Mini seasons used to net way more packs though.
Huh??? Don’t tell me you get less packs for mini seasons this year
I was about to consider grinding that for packs instead, once I finished the conquest maps. -
@mietha_PSN I support this idea 100%!!!

I was about to consider grinding that for packs instead, once I finished the conquest maps.You get the same amount of packs for winning the championship as you always have. 15 Show and 1 Ballin.

Oh ok, gotcha. I suppose I’ll grind that then, but I really wish conquest was repeatable. Mini seasons is okay but it’s such a slog.

We're all entitled to our own opinions about which we prefer but im confused as to why you would consider 26ish games of mini seasons a more tiresome grind than 30 games PLUS the tile simming of conquest.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Mini seasons I found a little more difficult simply because the other teams you play against are stacked with higher cards. It’s not like conquest where you play against the MLB team lineups.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Yes, but the rest of the goals give significantly less packs and the goals they do have take multiple seasons to complete.

Yeah i get that but even still, its a negligible difference. Doing the old US map got you a 20 pack(?), doing mini seasons gets you 16 packs. Doing US map 3 times gets you 60 packs...doing 3 mini seasons gets you 45 standard packs, 3 Ballin packs plus 23 additional standard packs, 3 deluxe packs just for accumulating stats.
Seems like a no-brainer to me. If people grind the US map multiple times, it would probably make more sense to grind the same 3 inning games minus the time wasted simming 200+ tiles.

They did at least fix the slow presentation though, no more statcast and that nonsense

I actually went back and checked last year's mini seasons, Classic was changed up but the TA 1 was better than I remember, but I think I ignored it because the missions force you to use the TA cards
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN It’s not a negligible difference. Both this year and last year you could earn 20 extra packs, but it will take 2 seasons this year to do those missions, so twice as long. Last year also gave 4 ballin packs each season to this years 1 and again a mission that will likely take you 2 seasons.

It doesnt take you 2 seasons to win the championship one time.
30 games of conquest + hours of simming 200+ tiles = 20 packs
20 games + 8 sims = 15 standards and a BIAH
Literally a 4 pack difference in half the time for one season. THAT is the negligible difference.
If those bonus missions take 2 seasons : 53 Show packs, 2 BIAH, 3 deluxe packs = 58 packs
2 US conquest runs = 40 packs.
You get more packs in 2 runs of MS than you do in 2 runs of Conquest and it takes less time. Not sure why the math isnt adding up to you.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN I’m not counting the 15 packs for winning the season because it’s exactly the same. The packs, again, are the EXTRA packs you can earn. They’ve basically cut them in half by making the goals take two seasons to finish them. I’m not comparing anything to conquest. I’m simply pointing out that they heavily nerfed mini season rewards from last year.

They had to remove replaying conquest to allow players the time to replay the same showdown four times for gold cards needed for a collection

.GOD. I just found that out yesterday and I hate it. I can do showdown, but I usually only do showdown once to get the card I need, because it’s one of the more stressful modes for me.
But now I have to do it FOUR times??? I hate showdown being required for cards. Imo it should be optional.

Its for a card thats one off the top card, so same level of rewards as BR would be for example (granted BR rewards are usually high profile names, but its still a much better card then we typically get from offline modes int he past). It even comes with 4 henchmen along the way.
I do think these should be sellable though.

We kinda have to compare it to conquest because thats what the topic was about. I was pointing out that MS is the alternative.
