Team affinity may take all year
-
@tttmerig_PSN Have you even looked at that program? It absolutely is for all season. It won't be all season for a single team, but that is why it is broken up into 30 teams with 1,415,000 TA Stars each with items to collect at the ASG break and in November for the Finest.
-
I think its fair to say the missions for the 85s may be a little on the long side (50Ks is not a quick start or whatever they call it). I personally like it but I can understand why others would not.
However, these are also captain cards that will be most beneficial after a few more content drops
-
@tttmerig_PSN I made a team of Mariners players and got Richie Sexson just now. Made it half way through the West Conquest map with that team and the use of a pitcher for some of the games I've played in the other modes. So, I think you'll get Babe quicker than you think if you just keep playing with some Yankees.

Do the moment for 5000 TA points, unlock Pettitte.
Get 200pxp with Pettitte for 10,000 TA points
Earn that 200pxp in Conquest (3 wins) for 5000 TA points
Play a few more games of Conquest to finish the 12 IP for another 5000 TA points and unlock Ben Rice
Get 300pxp with Rice for another 10,000 TA points.
Finish the IP for another 5000, that gets you to 40K....then just grind out 2 of the hitting missions and the 3 SBs for Ruth.Its also important to note that the stat missions stack. Its not "get 50 Ks for quick impact then get 100 more for on the rise missions". Its get 50 Ks for 5000 TA xp, then get 50 more for 15,000. Obviously, it'll take longer than last years TA but once we start building teams with good cards, the stats will come easier.

The jolt series players act as a team captain.

The 85 Diamond isn’t all the hard to get too but in years passed that lead to “team epics” or something else. Both programs already have better rewards lol.
Then having AS and Finest behind a few month long grind without knowing who they are and most notably NO LEGEND possibility of any sort is verrrrrry weird, some teams are going to get literally zero diamond legends in team affinity…
The ONLY positive is 4 hours after AS and finest come out the best 9 players and 7 relievers wont take over everyone’s lineup immediately because people won’t have them all. The worst part is peoples favourite players will get traded and then they’ll have to start a few month grind for a different team…
This doesn’t make sense it’s if TAs purpose is to be the most rewarding way to get players from your team.
If that isn’t weird enough the devs at SDS are so bad the topps now from TA are playing at the LS card level, so if you go get Trout Marte Alvarez Vald Jr and any others you actually have Diamonds and not silvers. If you beat Diamond quest you get a Diamond topps now that is downgraded to a silver lol.
All that testing huh lol

@dap1234567890_PSN I dont understand how we are supposed to get all of Team Affinity done before the season is over with how much there is to accomplish on it.

They're going to add more missions between now and December.
-
I have 5 AS Vouchers (Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels and Padres) and just 1 Finest Voucher (Dodgers).... boy its a slow grind. Looking forward to the stream tomorrow to see what additions to TA they have planned.
-
You not supposed to get the AS Vouchers until July. You're not supposed to get the Finest Vouchers until November.
You're in like the Top 0.00001% of grinders.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN When you play offline and have all the programs complete there isn't much else to progress lol. I'm just 'casually' playing conquest and stuff with teams that are themed around a couple teams (right now its Pirates & Tigers). Not grinding it that hard.
-
@tttmerig_PSN said in Team affinity may take all year:
No it's not.
So you create a thread declaring it may take all year. A comment is made that it is designed to take all you and you say it's not. What has changed your mind
-
@SaveFarris_PSN I hope so. I'm at double digit percentage points on only 3 teams. It feels like it's taking forever lol.

Are you talking about actual 100% completion or getting the Finest Cards? The Finest Card is the real completion. The rest was clearly stated on the pre-launch streams as an optional achievement for hardcore theme team players. Most players will not have any of those completed.

I've got the Dodgers ASG (at 21%), but have every other team to 12% or higher. I've been intentionally spreading the love around, hoping to have all the ASG vouchers when they are redeemable.
It's getting a little tough to progress at this point with mostly the high Journey to AS XBH, Hits and Runs goals left. Hopefully tomorrow adds some other ways to progress. I need more pitching options because I've got only a few more of the Season Standouts Ks goals left before I'm basically getting no progress from pitching.
-
I have 18AS vouchers and 3 or 4 finest vouchers. Getting from All Star to finest should be pretty easy if they add another easy 45K in missions at some point like they did when the 2nd Inning dropped.
-
@TheDaveyG_NSW I'm talking about 100% completion. I dont watch any of the streams. I started playing this is '20 or '21 so i'm used to having a decent amount of time to get all of it done.
-
The thing that's really lame is that once you get to the 85s, which isn't that hard, especially with the boost from completing the team collections, it's an endless slog with major gaps between the next rewards of like 20,000 or 30,000 points which can only be achieved through huge accumulation of stats. So you'll check your progress and see you just reached 50 HRs or 200 Ks or whatever only to discover there's no reward for it because the points given for those achievements is small. So while the initial run up to the 85s felt rewarding, everything beyond that is depressing and unrewarding. Maybe the new things they're adding tomorrow will fix or improve that, but I'm not loving this year's iteration of Team Affinity.
-
It is supposed to take the whole season
-
As a couple have said, it's a long grind. The only vouchers I have are both all star and finest for the Dodgers. But that's because I use a lot of Dodgers. I'm just slowly getting stuff done as I use new cards. I like it, but I do feel something is missing. Maybe tomorrow fills that void
