And oh boy the 6 hits Kiermaier mission for AL east TA2 is killing me.
He is 0-19 so far. His card is so bad for a 2020 postseason card. I mean he batted .143 .235 .167 first 3 series and .368 in the WS. Wish it was a WS card, it’s brutal squaring one up and not being able to hit the ball more than 20 feet at 17mph.
went 0 for 6 with kiermaier to start, then got the 6 hits in about 12-15 abs. the key is to not press with them.
Like Walker 4xbhs, im 5 for 7 with him so far but all singles, cause im taking a lot of pitches then swing at the wrong one and get grounders up the middle.
Try and relax and just let it happen -
So funny .... and true lol

For years I’ve only played Conquest on AS or HoF on occasion for RS warmup. But since TA2 with the grind missions and PA being the cumulative stats, I’ve started to play them on Veteran. Walker 6 hits I got easy on AS, but Biggio 6 hits and others with XBHs I would just find tedious. Play Col or Pitt every game until I’m bored and progress USA map. Like most, I start with Ps to get the ball rolling with easy targets to reach.

Dang. I mash offline with P2 Kiermayer. Still have him on my bench for PH and late defense.
I struggled with the Kyle Lewis XBH affinity 1 mission. I kept saying 'You're my friend Kyle, right? 🤪 Help a brova out.' I go to Shippett.....wind blowing in. To Coors....no dice. Then! Back to Shippett where he cranks 3 HR to finish. It's a crapshoot at times.

How many games vs cpu you need to play with full lineup of one division?
I have not started TA2 grind yet, but I'm so totally burned out from TA1 Showdown, that I don't want to see Showdown ever again -

My AL central team is getting about 34 plate appearances so it's taking me 3 games to complete 100.
But couple that with missions and you start making progress quick.
I cleared all the moments, all 3 conquest maps, the collection for each and have just done PA and mission grind and not playing an insane amount I have 3 divisions done, and the other 3 around 50%.
It is fun building the division "all star" teams.

Depends on the card though...Torii Hunter XBH for example...Hit 4 Doubles in my first 4 Plate Appearances. HR shortly after. Edgar Martinez...Weak Flyballs everywhere. I put all my Mission guys at the front of my lineup too so they get the most PA possible.

In each division I did this, then played with the missions cards during conquest. By the end of the third conquest I was at about 85% on them all and completely done two of the six. Zero showdowns needed. I don’t mind showdowns but it was nice to switch it up and earn parallels while I did conquest instead.

Thank you guys. I really hated showdowns at the end, I'm not gonna play it again no matter what

I have not started TA2 grind yet, but I'm so totally burned out from TA1 Showdown, that I don't want to see Showdown ever againIm doing 6 total showdowns (1 for each division) but I dont think even that's required. Mainly did it for variety. For me it takes me a little over 2 games to get 100 plate appearances. I think if you hit 100 mid game, you cant get progress to the next 100 so make you keep track and end the game once you hit 100.
