Enough with the Mandatory Mini Seasons
-
Obviously they are not mandatory, I am completely aware of the fact this is a video game and I’m not forced to play it. I just don’t understand why they are pushing this mode so much that is hours and hours of mindless playing cpu at fields with ridiculous batters eyes. They have data that shows people are playing a lot of mini seasons but I’m sceptical that is entirely organic since they put these exclusive cards in this mode and make it so it literally takes 7 hours of playing time to complete. Showdowns only take 30 mins to complete and then it’s over with no reason to play again. I’d play showdowns all day if they put these exclusive mini seasons cards in showdown too so we have a choice. I’m just saying why are we being forced to play 15 + mini seasons games to get a Jonathan Aranda card so we can get the Jose Ramirez card that we really want in collections.
I guess I’m an outlier in this, I just really think mini seasons is boring, the only challenge is trying to pick up the ball on the BS batters eyes in these stadiums. I like playing online and DQ or showdown let us play how we want SDS.

@Redd666ish_PSN you are not an outlier in this. All the people commenting that they like mini seasons armt good at the game and prefer to play offline. Or they have time to play this game 8 hours a day. Which is fine for them. But your point is very valid.

Most of the people who don't like mini seasons are folks who don't like having to face non live series bronze and common pitching, they'd rather play nine inning games against the Rockies on rookie at a max elevation stadium. Hence the complaints about having to play road games.
And, there's a commenter in here who is 22-3 in Ranked so.......I'd say they're good at the game.

So set it up to play the games at your home stadium, the missions carry over so restart when you get road games and play home games for the missions

I'm good enough at the game to beat the cardinals stadium in the summer DQ on goat and I like mini seasons.

I enjoy mini-seasons. Sure its time consuming, but I feel like the pace they have been releasing them has been pretty good so I haven't gotten sick of them yet. And they are great for grinding out programs, especially with the lack of conquests. I hope they keep releasing them.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL that’s one of the dumbest things you’ve said yet, and in your case, that’s saying a lot.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I do just fine online and I like mini seasons. Speak for yourself.

Who the heck likes mini seasons? Are the majority of you 12 year Olds? Repetitive play against the cpu is not fun . I am an online player cause I want to get better. A cpu can never play or equate to playing another human. If you want to get better at this game. Stay away from the cpu.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL
I would agree with you that mini seasons are boring and repetitive, however, not everyone has the same opinions. Having distinct modes and incentives to play them is important to the game. -
@Talkingben9558_XBL the point of the post was.. play your way. Mini seasons being part of collections almost mandatory is not playing your way.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL
I would understand your frustration if playing the mini season was the only way to complete the collection, but all you have to do is buy a couple extra cards. They created a workaround for the mini season, but you still have to work to get the cards. -
@Talkingben9558_XBL I agree I see that. But at first the asg collection when it first came out did not have a work around.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL
I you are impatient and want to get the collection rewards asap, you will probably have to spend more stubs and more time, and I think that is fair -
@Talkingben9558_XBL I also think that is fair. Agreed

The irony here...

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I’m [censored] near 40. I like online and I’m a decent player, but sometimes a casual game after work is a great way to relax rather than a sweaty online game. Mini seasons are great for xp. I’ve been saving them for new innings. Again, they are not mandatory for any collection no matter how many times you guys try to claim it.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Not to toot my own horn, but one of those losses was a freeze off I was winning too.

I’m 49 years old, I’ve been playing less and less Ranked every year since 22, this year I’m 7-0. I don’t need to get better or compete because I don’t feel the need to prove anything playing a video game.
Mini Seasons is great as you can go casual and grind progress for programs, or play on higher difficulty for some competition.
Play however you want, but assume everyone is an unskilled 12 year old for enjoying a mode in the game, is ridiculous.
