How did you or plan to complete Live Series Collections
-
I had some good pulls early in (trout, Soto, marte) but still have the really high cards to go. To satisfy my urge to complete and not feel like I’m grinding “forever”, I look and see who is the highest remaining card I need for a team. When I get enough stubs to buy that guy, I’ll finish the rest of that particular team.
I need 5 or less cards from about 10 teams. Next up? Harper, Tucker, or skubal. (All are in the high 30’s)
-
I do not plan to finish. SDS has nerfed, intentionally, all no-money-spent stub generation methods. Offline grinding is not very rewarding and Rookie pitching is frustrating (not hard: frustrating).
I'll play a few games here and there this year, but I'm pretty much done.
-
I'm not doing it. I have only finished the live collection once and that was last year and only happened at the end of the year when I had extra stubs and live series cards were pretty much all at their quick sell values.

How are you guys doing DQ ? I keep getting demolished by the As and I’m a 900-1k player online typically. I can dot 3 pitches and they literally nuke all of them. My par sometimes is aweful and results in walks. And my batting exit velos are severely bad no matter how good I mount up. It’s a joke the gameplay is aweful. I’m playing legend and Goat
-
I'll just wait until prices drop. Substantially. Aside from Simmons, I'm really not all that interested in any of the LS collection rewards. I still feel like the LS will start to drop before too terribly long. An 88 Ketel Marte can't stay that high forever (... can he?)

As a Cardinals fan, that makes me happy! Simmons was a Cardinal from the time I was 4 until I was 16 so I do have a soft spot for him. Unless we get a better version he will be my cardinals theme team catcher all year.

@w1ck3dx24_PSN I did G … I am not able to go flawless, so I just played the game with a big focus on TA and with a few Diamond Quests, read the market and sold/bought wisely. Got Beltran late April just before prices raised … The TA-packs brought me Marte, Judge and Trout (so I had to buy Ohtani for 400K)

Legend/GOAT is giving the CPU permission to cheat. It might seem counterintuitive, but it's probably easier to play a human on legend than the CPU.

@Loyal-Wiglaf_XBL A lot of people are loading up with speed and bunting to win on goat. B line to the stadium and play of goat. Bunt steal bunt and get a runner in. I’ve done it like that once and won. GOAT is not fun.

I'm a White Sox and D-backs fan, but I was a catcher when I used to play so I always love seeing new catchers added to the game. Josh Gibson and Ted Simmons were two on my list that SDS really needed! Now let's go out and get Carlton Fisk, Camp, and Yogi next year and I think we're in good shape.
-
I just completed the Cubs LS and finished the NL Central. Got Simmons. Thinking of swapping out my P3 Napoli for him. Not a Cards fan, but always like him growing up.
-
I’ll complete it when I get there; basically time and luck.

That's exactly how I'm feeling, flipping has been very frustrating so far this year, just now hitting 100k stubs again. Only missing Judge, Witt, Soto and Ohtani..... unfortunately that's 700+ stubs not counting Ohtani.
-
Mostly grinding DQ and selling the rewards. Also selling any other non-live series pulls or rewards that I won't be using in my lineup. But DQ has by far been the best and most rewarding offline way to make stubs.
-
I won't be finishing LS or the Retro Spotlight until end of season when they come down in price. I will ride with the players I can get at a decent price and the heck with the others. I will not be spending money to buy stubs. If 2-4 hours playing almost every night doesn't earn me those players then SDS has definely not earned my money.

Yah, DQ is growing on me, just spent 15 minutes playing it. Crushed the Yankees on Veteran and got the top prize of Ottavino, I can see why people enjoy that mode. I may use that mode to grind out stats from now on instead of conquest or 9 inning games against the CPU.
-
I still need about 6 gatekeepers. Just saw the price Judge is going for. Unless I get a few more great pulls I don't see myself finishing LS anytime soon
-
I only pulled two of the overly high priced Diamonds (Marte and Ohtani). The rest was just spamming DQ for Stubs and Packs (admittedly, I generally just skip everything to the Stadium Challenge but I play the board now and then). Sell orders for all duplicates. Was able to finish LS off this past Sunday by purchasing Bobby Witt Jr.
-
I grinded DQ a lot, pulled Ketel and a few mid level diamonds while I was grinding, I quit because I burned out trying to get the stubs for Ohtani, who kept going up everytime I got closer. I’ll get it when I come back later
-
Right now I don't really have a plan...I'm trying to invest but the market just isn't overly favourable ATM
