15 HRs from Seattle Players???
-
This one feels like the toughest thing to achieve in the Griffey program. By my count you've got Jay Buhner Milestone and Dan Vogelbach Finest. There's, of course, the All-Star Julio Rodgriguez card if you got lucky or enough stubs to buy it (I haven't). And then, I guess Topp's Now Ty France, regular Julio Rodriguez, and maaaaybe J.P. Crawford?
I don't know. I've already done all the conquest maps. I suppose I could do a mini-season or the Mystery Map again on Rookie, but I don't trust most of those guys to hit 15 HRs against online opponents (at least not with my limited skill).
What are other people doing?

Finished Griffey program without needing this.

I was going to try it in the event, but I decided to play the Rockies in a vs CPU game on Rookie as the away team. I hit somewhere between 16-20 HR in the one game, and pitched a shutout with their future star starter. Their silver LS catcher has has some pop too. I hit 4 HR with him. Got the HR and both levels of Mariners PXP done in the one game.

Ty France carried me through this one. Doesn’t have the greatest ratings but everything was a bomb with him vs CPU

FOTF Haniger, Edgar Martinez, and there was a Topps Now card, forgot the name. 88 cover Griffey is there as well

I forgot about FOTF Haniger. He hit a few out for me too and has plenty of power.

Play at TwinXP stadium ball flies

Luckily Conquest at Rookie plays a lot easier than Mini Seasons does at Rookie! A few 3+ homer games in the latest Conquest map got me to 15 home runs. I stuffed my lineup with the best Mariners I had. I didn't think I would do it and was thinking ahead to maybe a Play vs CPU game to finish. (I was not going to attempt Mini Seasons for getting home runs. I find it is a bit too hard for me to get a lot of offense.)

I think there are more of us who struggle than not. I think we're the "silent majority"!! Ha ha. The latest Mini Seasons missions have proven too tough for me so I'm just going through to win the season.
So many times I win 1 - 0 in 4 innings!
One thing I've tried is to just hit the ball up the middle instead of trying for home runs all the time. A slight improvement. (I saw someone suggest that in a recent post about hitting difficulties.) In Mini Seasons I hit a lot of lazy fly balls when trying to hit home runs.

I just did the exchanges to avoid the 15 HR hassle.

This card hit most of the HR's I needed to complete. 88 Griffey was a close second. HRD JRod only hit 1 for me. I did have a bunch of White Sox in the lineup as well since I was trying to complete that mission as well, so France, Vogelbach and Haninger were on my bench. Got to the HR mark at the same time I hit the 3000 PXP..

This times 1000. Can get 15 in one game easily there. Easily.

Wasn't that hard. I just chose the best Mariners I had available and did repeatable conquest map still I got it done.

I used him too and he hit some bombs. Him,Julio Rodriguez and cover Griffey got it done fast,

Do a 9 inning Rookie play against CPU with an all Seattle lineup in a juiced stadium (or Laughing Mountain if you are on old gen).

This was my lineup. It wasn’t too difficult. Just go against a team with bad pitching and have your SP be the lowest OVR of your starters.
RF 90 Dylan Moore
SS 87 Noelvi Marte
1B 93 Daniel Vogelbach
CF 97 Julio Rodriguez
3B 85 Edgar Martinez
LF 92 Kyle Lewis
C 76 Cal Raleigh
2B 88 J.P. Crawford -

2B 88 J.P. CrawfordOrioles, Pirates, Reds, Tigers, Royals, Nationals and my favorite to beat up on the Diamondbacks. There 4th or 5th starter (forget which at this point) is so much fun to hit against. Only problem is he's gone after 6 runs in the 1st inning lol.
-
Just stacked my lineup with Seattle players doing the reds conquest map. Outfield was Buhner, AS program Julio (he’s cheap), cover griffey. Infield had MA Moore, France and Crawford with Finest Volgelbach. Cal Raleigh at Catcher who hit 3 on his own with his awful attributes
-
Do a mini season game in a custom stadium. I think it took me 3 games. FoTF Haniger rakes. Vogelbach, Buhner and buy just the AS version of Julio. There are two teams that are just terrible, play them, don't even move the PCI and swing away. Good luck.
