So if Conquest doesn't count for Stage 1, why is it available to play? Makes no sense to me. It should be locked.
It counts for stage one but thats say your already at 80 points only 5 points of the 20 earned for the conquest map are going to count. There is a cut off at 85 points when stage 2 begins.
I'm at 15 points, lol. Just unlocked Wacha-Wacha by just the Moments so far. I was going to dig into the Conquest on my days off, and attempt Showdown.

Get the conquest done early and collect no more than the 3 out of 5 cards in round one and just use the missions and moments for the rest. Then round two will be a breeze.

I just finished it tonight now focus back on TA
-
I can vouch that showdown doesn't count in stage 2 as well. At least I got the packs. I just have to get 100 more pxp with Soler and I'm done with program.
-
Even at 100 points, post game progress showing 50%; maybe they expand program to stage 3 in future?

Yup 57% to be precise

The app originally showed 200 as the ending point and I believe still does

Man - wish I could be there with @Texas10pt_MLBTS and @BxnnyMxn__MLBTS ...
They could do my showdowns and moments that I'm struggling with...not to mention the beautiful scenery there. -

All the other times have been in Pigeon Forge. Probably take a ride over the mountain to Cherokee, N.C. and see if the Elk are out in the field.

I was excited to see the Stage 2 bit.
Then saw the requirements. No thanks. Lazy.

This all sounds like fun. The smokers that is. I love these stage programs but only when we get to use cards I enjoy. I wonder when they’d expand the program. I assume the Postseason will have its own program. I remember there was a lot of speculation about the fake 99 Griffey program last year because of the progress bar showing less it wasn’t complete. It never amounted to anything so who knows

It IS fun! I got it from both angles because I’m a smoker who lives in the Smokies! Haha

If I am adding this up correctly: doing the Moments, Missions, and Map but don't pull any of the Awards cards from the Pennant packs, then I only get 60 points. I need to pull a minimum of three different Awards cards from the Pennant packs to get the needed 85 points. The reason I am not including the Showdown (I know, I know, for some of you it is a walk in the park) is because I am horrible at them.
Sigh, I don't even know if I will begin this program.
I am being completely honest when I say that this showdown was really easy. Most of the rounds you are tied or maybe down 1. Only rounds you are down more are 1 is with the bases loaded and down by 3 and the final round where you are down by 3 with 20 outs. It went really quick for me last night, probably took me no more than 45 minutes total. There are quite a few lefty pitchers in the Showdown, so I went righty heavy with Stargell, Devers and Jackie Bradley Jr as my lefty hitters. If you decide to try it, good luck. On a side note, you get a ton of the Pennant Chase packs. Odds are you will pull at least 3 of the players.
Ima try that sucker then! This sounds like my kinda of showdown and I thank you for the heads up my friend
I gave this Showdown a try last night and actually got it the first time. Honestly, if I can get it (directional hitter and button pushing pitching and let CPU run and field guy), then you can absolutely get it done.
Some of the early ones were “sweaty” for me. The second one(?) is score a run in 8 outs. I remember that being almost a fail.
As the original poster said, most start with you tied. I forgot that and choose boosts that activated if I were losing That probably made it harder than it should have been.

My progress said 57% until it hit 100% with completing last mission.

Gird yourselves.
The Pennant Chase Program consists of 2 Stages. The Stage 1 Program maxes out at 85 Program Stars and does not carry over to Stage 2. Once Stage 2 has been unlocked, completing Stage 1 tasks will not grant Program Stars towards Stage 2 progression.
Half the player base will never read the quote above and come complaining when Stage 2 is released about why they're not being awarded program progress.
I read it but I still got no clue as to what it means lol
I’m with bunny here, I’m not following this at all.
Have they announced when Stage 2 is coming?
Do I need to stop playing in DD what I’m currently playing (TA3) and get started on this program?
Is this conquest map and showdown going away when Stage 2 comes out?
Will I be able to get Stage 1 cards when stage 2 comes out?
Will stage 2 give me enough stuff to do to complete both Stage 1 and Stage 2 progress?
In another thread, guys are talking about all these Pennant chase packs. Where are they coming from? Playing “something”? Buying them?
Feel free to talk to me like I’m 6 years old.
Stage 2 opens when you complete Stage 1 (get to 85 points), so it's already out. Anything you collect in Stage 1 you CAN NOT collect in Stage 2. So don't do all the collections in Stage 1 or you will be screwed for Stage 2. The conquest and showdown only apply to Stage 1 as Stage 2 has it own set of missions you need to accomplish. Anything you do for 1 does not count toward 2. You will get at least 20 packs from doing the program, showdown and conquests. You can buy the players too but I would wait until you opened all your packs. I already have 3 of the 5 and I am only at 40 points right now.
I just realized I did it wrong. SMDH. I did the collections (thinking I would save the moments for round 2). Just the 5 chase pack collections, but still. So I lost 15xp for this. I did my research on this program too, I thought I had it right.
So now I have to sell Trout and do the one collection for 16xp (as well as the stage 2 missions).. Oh well.

That sucks you have to sell Trout. Not sure the return is worth the loss of a card like Trout.
