Best To Grind For Stubs/XP - Conquests or Topps Now Moments?
-
So I only got the game less than a month ago. But I'm a serious grinder. Finished all Team Affinities, 4th/5th Inning Showdowns, all POTMs etc.
For Conquests though I've only finished the Nation of Baseball once and one other smaller one. And I've barely started the Topps Now Moments.
What should I focus on now? Are there other good Conquests or should I just keep repeating Nation of Baseball for the Prospects? And what about Topps Now Moments?

well topps now gives you like 15k per set

I mean if you’ve already done all that just bang out the Topps Now moments first, then finish the conquests you haven’t done, then start grinding US conquest map.
Each Topps now will give you cards you can sell, or use to collect the lightning players of the month which will probably be used in a collection. All of the conquests have hidden reward packs, so it’s worth it to do those even if the listed rewards aren’t great it’s still easy free packs. And then grinding the USA map last when there’s nothing else to do.

Thanks! Some of those Topps Now Moments are brutal though. Last night I beat the "Get 3 XBH with Ryan McMahon" one from April. Woke my daughter up when I finally completed it.
if the hitting wasnt so terrible right now it'd be easy i remember doing it first try

I think RTTS is slightly under appreciated for XP. You can get circa 300XP on beginner per 3 game series if you hit a HR each game. And if you turn off everything else such as fielding and base running and minimal replay/highlights you’re looking at about 300XP in about 2-3 minutes plus it gives you CAP stats.
I play on rookie against CPU at my home ground. Generally win between 18-25 runs and get around 5000XP every 20 minutes or so.

Tips for moments...anything that requires power (extra base hits and home runs), use directional hitting, hold up on the left stick, and power swing. Any moments that are a series of games you can dashboard before a game finishes and it won't count. So just keep restarting the first one untill you do the majority of it in one game, then you can dashboard the rest if you don't finish it. You can reset series moments back to the first game by pressing R1 on that moment on the moments screen.

Yeah I've also been playing a lot of CPU on Rookie with similar results. Plus it seems the best to parallel up my guys.
Have DeGrom and Trea Superfractored and 6 others at P4.
Yeah I enjoy paralleling up too. Plus I get to try other cards as well. No point constantly playing my P5 god squad cards.
-
Also, I agree that doing some RTTS and ballplayer stuff, as well as playing the cpu on rookie can get you some nice chunks of xp, but if you're grinding out conquests you'll finish the inning program easily anyways. No need to speed up the XP path and then get nothing towards the end of the month.
-
Yeah, def finish any Conquests you haven’t already done, then the TN Moments. Yes, they’re tedious, but worth it in the end. Then just keep grinding that USA map - all pays off in the end!
Totally enjoy the superfractoring, as well! Trying to get my Awards Trevor Story to P5! Good luck, yo!

That one killed me too. Took me forever to get it done.

they are nothing compared to Moments Extreme, which should drop very soon
