    This team affinity grind is unreal. 60k points for ONE player from ONE division?????? My god that is insane. If you have the time or sheer will power to 100% all of these divisions then you are much more dedicated than I lol

    I think most people who play this game regularly is done with the TA programs! You make progress by just playing the game in any DD mode with games being played!

    I play several hours a day everyday. And I’m at about 85ish percent done with 4 of the 6 divisions. I finished 2 by exchanging 5 vouchers which gave me the last 20 points I needed. It’s most definitely a grind and not a fun one. Unless they make showdowns repeatable for TA1 or make vouchers easier to get aside from playing mini seasons I’m just gonna keep grinding. It’s FOMO honestly. I don’t want to be stuck trying to get a Charisma card I’m not gonna use when the next TA is bound to be something even better.

    Well, aren't you special!!

    Amazing what you can accomplish with 210 hours invested over a mere 5 week time period.

    I only finished the NL East. About 80% AL West, 68% ALEast, both Centrals are at a whopping 11%, and i forgot the NL West %.
    Only 2 days off. I need a vacation to play a ton.

    Here is what you do if possible. Load up your lineup with captain, henchmen cards or team builds, go into team affinity mini seasons, find a good show to watch on Netflix and grind away.

    TA is not just about playing the game regularly. I play the game a ton and have not finished a single division. I have done the showdowns, conquests, and almost all player pxp missions (outside of a few captain pitcher ones) and I have done one TA mini season. I have the AL west at 96% but the other five are at 78-79%.

    Unless you are going to avoid online modes so you can load up division based teams and beat up on cpu, conquest or mini seasons modes, it just isn’t going to happen in a reasonable time frame. Or you play way more than I do and I just can’t play more than I do.

    SDS can't win. If they drip out the grind, people complain. If they do a massive content dump that's meant to take weeks for the average gamer, people complain.

    Do it at your own pace! The cards you unlock are good through Season 2, which goes into July.

    Relax.

    Not all modes progress towards team affinity. My brother plays a lot of co op ranked. We went through the whole program together several hours of gameplay and no pxp ever counts. I’ve been off on leave for surgery so I finished mostly grinding against the cpu but he’s yet to get a single card from the program.

    The moonshot event is great for TA grinding

    Yea I told him to load up with players he needs points with and play that till it’s over. I don’t understand why you can’t get pxp from a ranked mode. I remember them saying just play the game how you want. Lol

    You're sharing players with another human. So should you get pxp if your teammate hits 2 nukes with your guy and you strike out twice with him???

    Pretty simple and pretty fair, I think.

    I don't know the answer on pxp with Co-op, but I think the point they are making is that this game is really not "play how you want to play". It is play a specific way if you want specific cards. Programs like TA are designed more for an offline player to load up specific players and play CPU or mini seasons over and over...or load up specific guys and play moonshot. TA is not going to come easy for someone who mainly plays things like RS or BR.

    If you want to be strictly literal, then fine. But co-op is clearly not meant for pxp -- too easy to exploit. Losers would be paying WS players to co-op with them. It would be a pathetic cottage industry nobody wants to see.

    This game has its problems, but within the realm of UT games it's the most consumer-friendly out there. Everyone who plays a lot can have a god squad without spending one cent over the price of admission. If they play a lot.

    And you get more pxp for online modes like RS, BR, and Events.

    There is nothing unfair going on here.
