Am I leaving possible TA points 'off the board'?
-
I'm trying to knock out the 6th Inning Conquest maps before they expire and since I want to work on the TAs by division, and I don't have enough players to field a team, I've been running with a team of noting but FAs.
Now, when I do the TA Conquest Maps, I'll hopefully have enough players to field a team by division.
But is it better to just run half FAs and haft division players (AL/NL East)?
-
You trolling here? Or am I not understanding you correctly? Why would you use Free Agents?
-
Why wouldn't you run half East and half Central if you're that low? Even a bronze East player is better than a silver FA player for TA grinding though - and if you're that low, sell that Griffey you talked about yesterday and field a team of golds with that 40k and have no issue with any division.
-
Wait...and you also told us you bought all 3 bosses yesterday, so how are you even short on players? If you're that new and short on players, you have over 200k in 2 of those bosses right there too.......
-
Ok, here is my thinking. Let's take TA 2 for example.
Just by doing the Map and the player missions, you can get 140 pts. That's not counting the 20pts you get for every 100 plate appearances.
If I do the non TA Maps with FAs; I won't eat into those plate appearances.
If I use players from that division, I eat into those plate appearances points.
What I'm trying to do is make it so that I can complete at least the conguest map, missions, and Moments from each division without leaving points still available.
I know it doesn't make sense. I'm just trying to maximize the amount of packs/XP I can get from these programs.
-
TA programs don't expire, so if it takes a couple of more days because you want to sprinkle in a few FA plays here and there, it's not going to kill you.
(I'm actually dealing with something similar in that I've got a few Free Agents at Parallel 4 and I want to go ahead and bump them up to 5 while simultaneously finishing TA4.)

You're wasting so so much time and energy using FA

I can see your point. But if you look at it my way, I don't play online. So if I finish all the TA content fast, there's nothing left for me to grind.

There’s no possible way you don’t have enough stubs to at least make a team of bronzes for whatever division you want. You get nothing for using FA.

Well if that is why you are doing it, then you answered your own question right? You are leaving TA points off the board, but you want to so you don't finish fast.

Yeah, sounds like this is a decision that you are making. Hate to say it, but it sounds like you already know the answer and are looking for validation that we really can't give you - because once again, this isn't the most efficient way of doing so but you have your reasons.
-
But in all reality, you're overthinking this. There is so much content to do, even if you are strictly an offline player. There are so many moments and programs to go back and get caught up on if you are just now starting. Personally, I think you're making this harder than it needs to be but again, it's all about how you want to play the game.
-
How long ago did you start playing this program? I started about a month late and even though there are sometimes lulls when you finish the content, you always get more. Try creating a RTTS player and earning your archetypes. Do the monthly programs, Topps moments, us conquest map. There are like 30 player programs including Miggy, Acuna All Star, Field of Dreams and Scherzer which are much longer. I just can't imagine you would run out of content if you started so recently.
If you really don't wanna burn through TA so fast. Finish one division and then use players from that division to do the maps. FAs are worthless unless you want to parallel them like SaveFerris mentioned.
-
Yes you are.
