Optional: Collect all April Monthly Awards

Wait, glad I read this as I am just now working on the program. So dont lock in the sellable POTM cards because you can earn unsellable ones later?

Pretty dumb that they offer a "collect all" to get you to Rizzo faster but then make the remaining packs no sell so you are forced to have 4 dupes if you do it. Unreal.
Ummm, you do know that you CANT complete the Optional Collection UNTIL you get past Rizzo?
There are TWO collections. First one is to Collect Five POTM cards, which you HAVE to do to get Rizzo, and they give you Five packs to get those cards.
Then after you get past Rizzo; you get the last 4 of the 9 total POTM players. Those 4 go towards the Optional which is 9 cards.
They made the last four non sellable so you had to pick the remaining four and couldn't pick doubles of ones you already locked in.

AH, this makes more sense. Sounds similar to last year. Except you just get the lightning card sooner.

Yes. Doing all the Moments and Missions gets you to 174pts. One point shy for Rizzo. The collection gets you there.
And I THINK you still have to do a the Moments and Missions.

You can lock them in, just leave room for 3 88 ovr locked cards and one 90 ovr locked cards and you'll be fine.
-
This still makes no sense, so you could lock the cards in for optional collection early then get no sell dupes as your reward or wait until you get the final 90 pack in the program path.
But then why would you do the collection if you got the final 90 pack? There is no more progress and nothing to unlock after that pack.
It looks like SDS messed up and put the rewards in the wrong order.
-
Simple solution SDS stop making non sellable choice packs for cards on the market!! The first program non-sellable was so stupid.
-
Everyone saying its stupid and im over here looking at it as their way of giving people a reason to actually play the game and not break out the credit card to get rewards faster.
-
I'm confused. The 4 non sellable packs are just the rest of the Monthly diamond cards. If you play the whole program up to that point you get 3/6 88s and 2/3 90s. The last 4 are the ones you're missing. It's a chance to get every card without buying any of them..for those of you buying the cards to complete the program in 2 days, why??? You say there's not enough content, yet you race through the content you have. I was stoked when I saw how many points this reward path has. Take your time, play the game. Enjoy. Those of us who miss TA, the Spring Cleanup and April POTM are solid programs with similar features and loaded with rewards.
-
If you're a dipshit like me, though, you bought the cards before realizing the others were no sell.
Doh.
Well, they'll make good exchange material in some other program.

I agree it is confusing it took me a few minutes to figure it out but I think I know why. You almost need instructions on how to figure out this monthly program structure. You also don't accumulate stats from stage one or stage 2 once you move on to the next stage. If that's the case they should just show the previous stage completely crossed off or locked. The way it is now it appears that it is still open so if you were to go past stage 1 and then want to do the collections for an extra 10 or 15 points you would not be able to do that once you are on stage 2 but it will still allow you to lock those cards in on stage one. Very conniving an SDS part I believe
I did this very thing and now I can’t progress to stage 3 unless I buy the 4 remaining cards on the market. I’ve done all the stage 2 moments but progressed to S2 before I did all the S1 moments. So now I’m stuck on 166

You can still QS them.

I don't think you can QS them. Yes, it gives you the option; but I don't think it gives you the stubs.

It 100% does, unless it's a ps5 glitch

They know some people will spend to get a free card sooner. Paying 25k for each of those cards to recoup 5k for each card makes no sense. Some things in the game should be grind only IMO. Cards are not holding value this year, even WS and RS cards. Losing 20k a card to earn a non-sellable card that isn't great is a bad strategy.

I was able to post my dupes on the marketplace

Dude... you must hang out with Negative Nancy and bad news Carl. It's "optional", YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT! If you do, then it's a valid point that you can QS, albeit to your point a losing strategy if you're worried about stubbs.
Lighten up already. It's just a game man

You can still go back and do it at the end for whatever measly reward there is
