How did NMS players complete the live collection?

@ditka06_mlbts dude. Morons? Really? Was that necessary? Really?
Don’t bother answering. You just got added to my block list.

Even if you pull a Skenes, you would need to pull him around 12 times. What are the odds of that?
Infinitesimal. I've always wanted to use that word here in the forum.
That said... I'm only two cards away: Judge and Ohtani
. So... about 1.3 million stubs. I'm focusing on other collections at this point, as those will be worth more to me than Tulo, Felix and Pujols (and Manny, Dustin, Nettles, etc.). -
@capardo_XBL oh did I hurt your Lil feelings. Yeah. Anyone who plays mini seasons over and over hundreds of times lacks creativity or you can say intelligence or what i said^. I said it, im not backing down. Like seriously some of you actually played the same mode over a 100 times, multiple hundreds of times? And this isnt an issue for you?

At LeAsT I MakE ValiD PoStS AbOuT STuFf ThaTs ImPortAnT To ThE GaMe ~ The Sad Angry man that can’t win online was 13-10 got called out because he pretended he was WS. Now he hides his account by using 3 different ones because he ACTUALLY GOT HIS LIL FEELINGS hurt over a video game forum.

Played a lot of mini seasons and got really lucky with the pulls. Didn’t pull Shohei until I had the collection done, so that enabled me to complete the others
-
It’s a big issue and just goes to show that the game has gone off the rails. If the rewards are so minimal that it requires extreme grinding, cheating, or swiping the credit card then something is very wrong. It’s driving “normal/casual” players away big time.

I guess I'm technically not NMS as I buy the Jackie Robinson bundle thing every year which gives like 5k stubs so that's my strategy lol All joking aside I got some blue diamond luck early on the year (no judge or ohtani) but I pulled witt skubal ketel and a few others and sold them and saved until I could afford shohei first because I figured I'd use Manny, campenella, and eventually pujols more than I'd use any of the al rewards and I flipped bosses and affordable diamonds during flash sales or when new content comes out with packs (like the 84 overall wbc cards that dropped to under 1k and I sold them all for 3-4k ish a couple of weeks later). Things like that added up then I sold multiplayer stuff etc and got judge like a week and change ago to finish off the collection. Despite the hate I did a lot of mini seasons too but did way better than 5k/run. I did a lot of new threads on rookie that gives BIAH packs for striking out 80 I think it is and that's like 5 packs each run I think mixed with the other missions. Now if you're good enough I'd be doing diamond quest for the mural. I've been pretty lucky on that and it was over 30k/run if you get both. The floor is bad though. I usually gamble and face the thing that moves around the board for the 5 packs lol. I usually get lucky and win like 1-0 or 2-1

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS I never one time said I was good at this game nor do I care. Im 24 and 17. Im an average player. My stats are available to anyone that wants to look. You think you are a big bad wolf trying to smack talk an actual wolf. Making up lies. Step up your game troll if you want to talk to me.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN With all the switch hitters, the live series collection isn’t all that important here in mid May. You could Run a team of all switch hitters that is arguably better without Pujols or Tulo.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN completely agree. I didn’t finish the NL side when I pulled Ohtani because I didn’t see the value. Beltran took over CF for me last year and never left my lineup. Tulo, Manny, Pujols and Campy wouldn’t be in my lineup right now. It’s weird not having the collection done at this point, but I don’t see the value.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL grind mini seasons.
I have been but not getting me anywhere. Do you do the 28 game season or the 7 game season in Mini?
-
@Thongypu_PSN I bought it too. But it was what 10k stubs? That’s all I’ve spent. Just grinding and selling everything I didn’t need.
-
Some other tips outside of the effective strategies of flipping and grinding:
- Sell XP and Multiplayer bosses as soon as you get them. Even if you want the card the prices will continue dropping until the end of that XP Inning.
- Do NOT buy any packs in the Shop.
- If you want Live Series, avoid other collections. Unless you are elite at the game, grinding, flipping, you will have to pick a direction to focus on.
- Sell any weekend classic bosses you happen to win and get the card when they are in a Rewind Pack.
- One other disciplined approach you can do, tho this is more effective at the start of the year, but any live series collection cards worth more than say 5k stubs, that you don’t absolutely need to play with, sell for the highest amount and save your stubs to buy during flash sales.
For example, for me my fav player is Jose and love playing with McCutchen, so I kept Ramirez and Skenes. Any other time I got a lucky pull I sold them. This made the difference between getting say Acuna at 20k compared to 40-50k early on. It adds up big time.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL grind mini seasons.
I have been but not getting me anywhere. Do you do the 28 game season or the 7 game season in Mini?
9 inning 7 games. I would try 9 and 28 but the first one I tried when NT just came out got stuck on game 11 and ppl report that still happens
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL short as possible. You can skip 2 regular season games if you win the rest. Don't listen to other guy. Short season 3 innings.

I did 28 games because of the rewards in the mini season program. but i see what you're saying. just do the shortest # of games and then keep replaying the mini season after winning the championship.
I'll give it a shot once I'm done w/ my current 28 game season.
-
I do the 3/7 and those rewards that are repeatable are usually done in two seasons. Plus you get 20 standard and 2 BIAH packs. Every five championships nets you five more BIAH packs. So it does pay off in packs (what you get in those packs is usually turds, but all it takes is one). I usually set a lineup to grind programs too. It gets mind numbing so I usually listen to a podcast. I’m halfway through a medieval podcast series right now.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I've been playing all "7 game" mini seasons. I've played the WBC one too many times to count. I mix in the others but always 7 game seasons. In all the other ones, the post season is at least 6 games while the WBC one is always 3 max, so a total of 10 games. I just recently started skipping the 4th pool game as long as I am 3-0 just to get through quicker. Really hoping they put a repeatable Conquest in after the draft like they did last year. That was a stub factory which leads me to think they will NOT do that again though.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I’ve been running:
C Posada
1B Santana
2B Ramirez
SS Elly with fielding mod
3B Chipper
LF Happ
CF Mantle
RF Tatis
DH MiggyMight put Tulo back at SS and move Elly to DH with hitting mods or speed. Might try Santander at DH until I get to HOF. I don’t see a place for Miggy or Pujols right now.

This. Shortest possible. Use a short created stadium with max elevation. Win 4. Quit 2. Win the post season games. 10-3 inning games for 10 packs and any of the other missions you complete. I still think classic is optimal.
