How did NMS players complete the live collection?
-
@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.

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.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL There’s no benefit of doing anything other than the shortest possible.

Might also go with Lindor instead of bringing Tulo back. I just sold him and want to wait for his price to come down more though.

which mini season to play for best rewards? or it doesn't matter?

Depends on what bonus packs you want,
New threads is 5 Biah for 100 Ks repeatable 3 standard for 30 Ks 3 standard for 50 TB
Classic is 5 standard for 65 Ks repeatable 1 Biah for 45 hits 5 standard for 25 XBH 3 standard for 10 HR and 3 Biah for 100 hits repeatable. -

Played over 200 hours and have 3 of those cards if that is the 99 miggy. Just sad.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL murel or cityscapes.

@DemIsE4_XBL I mean I get lineups are all about who u perform better with and preference but it seems like switch hitting is heavily weighted into that lineup maybe to much my god i hate what switch hitting is in this game sometimes.
I play this lineup literally every game.
