Need help... and your opinion

@pacadie09_NSW go to the mini season you want to start with 3 innings and press and hold your select button. For me on Nintendo Switch it's the A button that will restart it and give you the option for inning length.

I am also on the Switch. I will try that later today! Thanks a lot!

You went back into the mini seasons after it ended so it restarted with the settings you choose to start with. Go to the menu where you see all 5 different mini seasons, and hold “restart” on whichever one you want to restart.
It’ll then give you the option for 3 vs 9 innings and how many games you want. WBC won’t actually change the amount of games because it’s set to the tournament format. All the other ones will give you the option (PICK THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF GAMES AND INNINGS) There is no real advantage to longer games or more games. It just takes you 3x to get the reward packs at the end and every 5 mini seasons championship banners can be exchanged for 5 BIAH packs which is where you really fell behind.
There is an advantage to making the difficulty easier or harder because you get the stats for TA and other things faster. But the higher the difficulty the more XP in general you gain as well as PXP for missions. So if all you need is “hits” or “homeruns” play on easier levels. If it’s just PXP and Xp you need, play as high as you feel comfortable.
Collections are what they are. Most knowledgeable people are going to say Miggy in particular is NEVER worth it. Some people really like to grind and finish them as the entire goal of DD. If it was a player I liked, I’d go for it. Miggy has been one of the worst MLB the show cards in game year after year since I started playing 10 years ago. I grinded the 95 and would rather play 10-15 cards without question.
If I were you (we all are) I would buy and use cards of players I really like and ignore collections until it’s a favourite player of yours. I actually hope every year they don’t lock Ken Griffey, Randy Johnson, Jose Bautista or other players I really like behind a collection because they are absurdly expensive and they always pick popular cards they know people will over spend on.
You will eventually get a good pull, and whether it’s Ohtani or Judge or someone else that is when you will actually have to decide what you wanna do because it likely isn’t going to happen two or three times. Don’t just decide oh well I’ll go for Tulo even though I don’t like him and then lock in Ohtani for it. The next program collection might be somebody you do really like and you’ll be stuck down 700,000 with another 500,000 to go for a card you don’t like, and a card you do like might only be the 400,000 you no longer have.
Just plan for now, and make your decision when it’s actually time, which is when you get your blue/red diamond in a pack.

On a thread I started last week, someone ask me why I was playing 9 inning game in Mini-Season Mode.
It got me thinking.
Since then, I red a lot of posts and find out that a lot of you prefer the 3 inning games.
Thing is, being the "genius" I am, I have already started all the mini-seasons (except the Mural one) on 9 innings mode. I tried to switch it to 3 innings, but I just don't know how.
Can someone help me with this?
Also, the more I play and read, the more I realized that I start my The Show 26 year on the bad foot.
I should have choose to do the Live Series or the Collection. But, like last year, I chose both.
The result is, that after more than 160 hours of game play, I am still 33 Diamond cards (worthing over 2 millions Stubs) away from the Live Series, and 85 cards away (little bit under 1 million Stubs) from Cabrera 99.
I also only have 225 000 stubs in my account.
Clearly, I need to choose a path: Live Series or Collection.
I want to read what you think is the better path.
Since my line-up is almost always compose of Collection Players, I think that it is where I should invest my time and my stubs. I got to say that I don't have particular preference about lining up Cabrera 99 or Tulo/Felix 99.
Any opinion?
Honestly with the pull rate and how hard it is to just get stubs playing I would skip LS collection unless you luck into a Judge or Ohtani pull. This weekend I completed the recent conquest and mp path for probably around 100 packs and might have pulled 10k worth of stubs. I have stopped going for the LS collection unless I pull one of those 2. I think I would have a better chance of being bitten by a shark in Missouri.

I have kinda giving up on LS collections at this point. I pulled a couple more mid teir gatekeepers, I have 1.3 million stubs saved up. I will need to pull either 1 of the big 2 to make it worthwhile. There is absolutely no value without doing, because other 99 cards will soon be better than those. None of those cards have the pedigree that the Beltran did last year. It was worth the chase, this year not so much. I agree with @deleteyourttvbtw_mlbts keep your stubs liquid by not locking anyone in go after collections/players that are your favorite that you play well with. Try different cards too, I guarantee you'll find new favorites. Like the Topps Now Jose Quero, that dude rakes. He's got me thinking about selling my Biz Mackey card. I am waiting to see where 99bGehrig comes in, 99 Hodges, 99 Beltran, 99 Chipper, and others. If I am lucky enough to pull 1 or both I'll come back to it.

9 inning games are good when chasing stats, for some reason (at least for me) I'll hit a spike in hitting and go through my entire order in one inning, often with back-to-back HRs. When I play 3 inning games I often have 1 run/4 hit games that feel (from a stat gaining perspective) like a waste of time.
As far as the Live Series collection, I'm down to Judge/Ohtani/Ramirez essentially, and probably won't get the stubs to get those as I'm already bored with the game. I got the 95 Miggy, every Jolt, every mini-season done at least once, every (offline) program done, and still 100k from 3rd inning boss. Just not a whole lot of incentive to keep playing.

I have this happen quite often as well. I think it comes down to the pitcher stamina/confidence in 9 inning games being how it was properly designed and the 3 inning games not playing as accurate as the code would like. That’s why Events and BR always feels so arcade like to me compared to ranked.
Each inning/hitter is like 3x for stamina depletion, I usually have zero stamina left if I finish a 3 inning game with a starter. I could easily see the confidence being 3x stronger for getting an out for a reliever and that sort of thing.
On legend I average like 15-20 runs in 9 inning games I certainly don’t average 5-6 runs in three inning games. More like 1-2 like you said.
