Seen a lot of folks complaining , currently and even in past regarding offline grinding for some or all of these programs. Thought I’d offer my two cents.
Playing offline modes to acquire some of these cards can be a bore for sure. That’s why being efficient imo is cardinal. If you’re like me and play a lot of offline , and then dabble into the ranked , and events games then hopefully this can be helpful for you.
My approach is simple. Gain as many cards as I can prior to playing mini seasons or conquest. That means putting my head down and slogging through moments and showdowns. Once TA moments and showdowns are complete you’ll be at 20k+ in each division , which nets you a captain and future card. This is where being efficient comes into play.
With your 12 packs , fill out a roster. Grab a pitcher or two , reliever, and position players to spread out on the diamond. Sometimes keeping a regular from your main squad can make it more fun.
I always try and have two ‘grind’ starters in my rotation. , usually at the 4 and 5 spots. This ensures I face lower level pitchers in the games. Keep track of your stats needed and play the games
I often reference player missions in the companion app. Very helpful. For instance we need x amount of K’s with this captain. If im sat 10/12 entering a game I’ll pitch with said card until I get 2 k’s and then I’ll use my other starter from the bullpen. Typically I start games with captain pitchers , and then I relieve them with futures starters since they only need pxp.
Once I finish up the TA conquests doing this I’ll have another bundle of cards to grind with. I’ll take those in to mini seasons and use the same approach.
In mini seasons I play to 19 wins. That nets me 3 vouchers from wins. I load and quit the rest. This allows me to get the playoff team vouchers as well with having 6 games remaining left to win.19 regular season + 6 postseason nets me 5 total vouchers just for wins. Then I get the 3 bundle vouchers to go with them.
This has been my approach. If you’re struggling with these programs I think it should help you. If you aren’t struggling or prefer other ways disregard. This post is only mean to help those who don’t understand how to grind.
this is pretty much the strategy that I have undertaken with my NMS team. Right now I'm working on Missions (Stats and PXP) but need to do more stuff for Team Affinity... gotta try to use Season 1 TA & Season 2 TA being out simultaneously to my advantage somehow.
If you’re grinding both MTO might be pretty fast.
Yeah I started an MTO but got sidetracked by the other programs that got added but eventually I think I'll go back to that mode and see if I can atleast get to the All-Star break... I want to say I might actually be in June so I probably could've got the first bit of TA from MTO a long time ago unless I have to go all the way to the end to get all the TA.

Pretty sure you get a chunk of xp around the AS break and then more end of year
