Been gone a couple years, last one I bought was 20.
currently grinding POTM and mini season on all star. Will do the legend game after completing the all star missions.
Obvi wanna be putting stubs into live series players to quick sell if they get bumped up. Before going super heavy, have any of these 3 caught a significant upgrade recently/are they bad investments?
-Cease
-T. Walker
-NimmoThe last one I bought was 20 which didnt have this prestige refractor feature or whatever. Are they worth doing?
Any pitchers I should target? Pitching was def my strength in 20 and previous, Making at least championship series every "Inning" at the time.
Anything else I should know to do? Im thinking its a little late for conquest at this point?
If you can give your opinion on 1, 2 or all it would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Its never too late for conquest. You'll need to grind offline somewhere. Mini seasons reset once a month so no huge rush (good xp for grinding it out though but I still recommend doing all conquest maps at least once). I'd recommend focusing on time limited stuff first. POTM programs will be there forever.
So the current program ends in like 5 hours. If you can rush through the Flag and Grill maps (I think those are two that give xp) do that for the free hidden packs/program xp to get what you can for the current program before it disappears (some flash back cards, etc)
I cant talk about investments, I dont do them. Not as valuable this year imo since they changed the quick sell values of gold and diamonds. No longer 5k for diamonds/1k for golds but scales so 84s more valuable than 81, 85s are only 3k now, etc.
Parallel levels (PXP) is how a lot of missions work this year (Earn 2000 PXP with Athletics players, earn 500 PXP with Valenzuela, etc)...just earned by using cards. in games (all modes, not moments)..not very complex. Free stat boosts basically as they level.
Pitching wise -- dealers choice. Typically high velocity sinker/cutters and hard slider pitchers are preferred. Sinkers a bit nerfed up in the zone (larger PAR) but still a dominant pitch.
Tarik Skubal is solid (and free from May POTM i think). Keuchel collection reward (Astros) is still very good. Bobby Miller, Matt Brash (FS) play well. Randy (LS collection) still best in game. We are about to get AS program so the new 97 Ohtani will probably be great along with a few others in that program.
Appreciate the conquest insight didnt even think about the limited time ones!
I love packs, free ones even more so --- its worth doing it for the hidden bundles and stuff. Think there's headliner choice packs in those somewhere (good chance to get a diamond).
Also mini seasons missions reset each time you finish it with the exception of the hidden missions (This month is 5ks with LHP and 2XBH with an Ohtani card, recommend the Topps now one) and if there's a special pack for the first championship of the season. The Championship bundle is repeatable. If you're trying to get just the most xp/free packs, it worth just playing like half the games on rookie/vet, then getting in/quitting to finish the rest and burn through playoffs for the xp/packs.
The quitting half of them is a great idea would have never thought of that thanks!

I'm not big into the investing game so I can't help you there. As for the parallels they are only super useful for the fielding upgrades(once they hit a new tier they get better animations), otherwise they are just there for show. +5 to contact or power really isn't a big difference. I wouldn't really start grinding until the new program drops at 3 eastern today. There is a bug at the start of new programs that counts your double XP from the previous program towards the XP cap, which you otherwise wouldn't hit. As for pitchers Randy Johnson is the top dog but also the most expensive card. You want to target sinker/cutter guys and outlier fastballs to do well online
Does the XP glitch matter if you already have maxed out the current program and can not earn any more XP?

Commenting on this post strictly to humble brag and not answer any questions when its clear Im on day 1 of the game is actually impressive.

I'm a pretty casual offline player and believe me there is nothing really impressive about maxing out a program. Did not mean to come off like that, but I had never heard of this glitch before so it caught my attention.
Do ALL the conquest maps you can! I know some are time-sensitive so they may no longer be available, but they are always loaded with packs and easy stubs so take advantage of that. Also, one of the best things about Conquest this year is that games now sim super fast so covering a map isn't anywhere as brutal as it had been in previous games.

Yes. If you are playing this morning there is a very good chance you hit the XP cap later today

Get a refund. The game plays like po op!

Work on two recent PoTM programs efficiently (97 Yordan Alvarez, 95 Rafael Devers)
Round out the rest of your squad with the new All-Star content dropping this week and grab some cheap pitching from the market to hop in some ranked
-
Make sure to do the Astros team collection for the Awards Keuchel. He has been my best SP online this year and the Astros collection is pretty cheap right now.

Honestly I would JUST do the POTMs right now. You can do the moments and sell all the topps now for hundreds of thousands of coins in a hour or two, or keep them and keep grinding and sell the POTM cards for even more in a few days.
I’d totally ignore the LS collection at this point. 2 or 3 cards are still viable, the rest are pretty easily replaceable with POTMs. I think most people would say Babe Ruth is on par with Frank Thomas for like a fifth of the price. Randy is amazing but his pitch selection isn’t that amazing. There’s tons of pitchers with outlier just as OP.
The free cards this year are better than ever, use those for a while and then see if you want to do the collection.
-
You can get a ton of useable cards in the current all star event. Like the flashback legends on the way to the all stars are pretty useable. If you grime June MA and this program, you’ll be set I would think
