March to October - fastest way?
-
Is there any way to do the MtO fast? I don't care about winning or anything. This is the last thing I need for the Platinum trophy. I have ZERO interest in this mode. I just wanted to see if there is any way to do it FAST.

Astros or Yankees on rookie maybe?

Change the settings so that you don’t have to watch any of the in between scenes when pitching or hitting. Turn off the baserunning for the player locked events. Don’t do any trades. Play on all star so you get strikes. When you get the lead, bunt to make out.

Here’s a copy and paste from a thread I had going at the beginning of the year where I kept track of all my MTOs. This was for the pirates and was the fastest one...
Trades: Josh Hader, Aroldis Chapman, JR Realmuto, and Andrelton Simmons. All of this were for prospects or low level MLB guys.
Pre All Star game
14 above expected on Veteran
+11 affinity (max on veteran)
14-6 record
3 hours (169 minuntes)Post All Star
14 above expected on Veteran
+11 affinity (max on veteran)
8-3 record
1 hour (71 minutes)Playoffs
11-0 record
2 started with lead
0 started behind
9 started tied
All started in 6th except one in the 5th
2.5 hours (158 minutes)Total time: 6.5 hours (298 minutes)
Total affinity: 52I don't know how you could go much faster than this. I had four player lock missions as pitchers to get no hitters, which take up a little time. And, other than the extra innings, there is only a little bit of overall time to shave here since I was getting out as fast as I could once I got the lead. Overall, it was fun and relaxing to play on Veteran. But, I don't necessarily love the idea of grinding to finish as quickly as possible, since that makes this feel like work. And, I really enjoy this mode.

See, that is why I only did MTO for the Cubs, because it takes SO LONG for little amounts of points. They should make it worth 1.5 times or 2 times that amount of points, imo.
