I tried some BR games, like 5. I think i went 2-3 but it was no fun. Felt more like a chore to play. Maybe I'll try it another time.
Just think about it for a minute. I’m not great online either but in about 10 entries I got to 103 points and got 99 Trout. So essentially I paid $15K for him instead of $1M
So are you a fan of BR now?

Played tonight and had a lot of more fun with it. I think I went 3-3 but all games were close and the other player played baseball rules. no funny business.
I'm no way gonna win 12 in a row but how do I get to get the rewards for programs? Keep Playing? It seems like a lot of the missions will take a long time to complete.

You definitely don’t need to win 12 in a row, I think the most I’ve ever won is 4 or 5 in a row.
Look at the various missions. When you draft, you get 3 players (at least) that have player XP missions. Pitchers are faster but they all add up. There are also stat missions like 15,000 total pxp or 100 TB- that applies to your whole team. All of those add up. Don’t be afraid to redraft. Stubs are meaningless at this point if you have 3.5 M. You will get back so much more.

Just keep track of the missions you need to complete and then draft accordingly. Not every round will give you a card to help you progress, but do what you can. Pitching missions require certain cards, so draft those pitchers. Same with hitting missions. You'll get more mileage out of the repeatable missions because any card you draft to help those along counts, and as @Ericulous1_PSN said, pitchers get more PXP than hitters.
That's why I made a spreadsheet...to keep track and I could refer to it as I drafted.

I played it just to get Trout. I'm not much of a fan playing with Bronze and Silver players though LOL

Hahahaha. Same.

I did BR and got all the rookies I needed. Now for the other programs I have to finish, should I keep playing BR and those will come up as pack rewards?
As for Trout, should I get him and sell for $1million or go pick a card that I need to complete mantle?

You only need to get 100 points to get all of the special packs. After that, do ranked seasons. By the time you hit 250 innings, you will have received two rewind pennant and two rewind World Series packs. You get two picks from each pack. There is also Moonshot which has a lot of the special cards needed for the collections, plus very expensive cards you can keep or sell (like Nolan Ryan). You get your first pack at 5 wins (accumulative, not consecutive) and then more packs down the reward path. There are two picks from those packs too. This is how I got Mantle last night.
As for which cards to pick, ask yourself..."do I want this card more than Mantle?" In my case, when I got to my last pack, the cards I needed weren't in that pack, so I took Trout and he plays LF next to Mantle).
Keep track of how many cards you need by series and which tickets you need to finish to answer if you should keep going to get the rest of the special packs (I love my spreadsheets for this).

Go for the million and then buy the guy you need. Pocket the rest. EZPZ

i did the event and won 5 games and got to pick 2 rare players.
But i'm still so far away from completing the Mantle. I think I have like 5 card series to go. and Also i have to complete 1 more for Rollins.
I wish I could say the online gaming was fun but it sort of was a chore. Maybe if I played earlier in the year i'd find it more enjoyable.
So there's no way to complete Mantle without playing online? In the current program I'm at like 1.1 million and don't see any pack unlocks coming up that would help me complete the collection.

Without spending 6-7 million stubs, I don’t think so. Just got to stick it out.

Oops. Double post.
