No Repeatable Conquest Maps?
-
@mietha_PSN I'm starting to feel the same, especially with the much lower strikes thrown rate by CPU pitchers. Playing conquest was my favorite...played 1000s of games each of the last 4 years...because it is quick and requires low concentration. But now the cpu throws like 50/50 balls strikes so I can't just chill and play while I stream a movie or show.
I find diamond quest to be an absolute borefest and getting a bunch of 1 card bronze packs isn't "rewards"
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN might do this. Thanks. I've been spamming mini seasons but that has always been harder than conquest because teams are all leveled as opposed to playing actual mlb teams that are not same level.
-
@DFC_MLBTS They nerfed the hell out of mini seasons rewards too.
-
The benefits of Conquest and Mini Seasons are getting PXP and TA missions complted. But they totally killed mini season rewards and the USA map. Basically they are pushing us to DQ.
-
@mubby_33_PSN Yeah, and I have very little interest in DQ. It’s just as slow as moving around hexes on a conquest map.

People are upset over the removal of repeatable USA map, but its not like the current iteration of the classic mini season isnt 15 packs + 1 ballin for ~23 games or so. And if you do it multiple times the other rewards will add up (shop packs, trade ins of mini season icons, etc) its certainly more time efficient than last year's conquest
The thing is, I like seeing my card's stats. You cant focus single pitchers like you can in conquest, but that doesnt bother me. Also hitting just feels better in conquest to me, and its not just because the pitchers are lower overall. Plenty of golds and silvers in ms right now
I can see SDS thinking 'well, we removed the annoying presentation in ms and its more efficient than USA map so we dont need repeatable USA map'. But some people just prefer conquest, or prefer a choice.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Mini seasons used to net way more packs though.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS conquest games are easier than mini season games to stat build too because mini season opponents are generally rated a point or 2 plus or minus to our team while conquest opponents are just mlb rosters with LS cards

@GoozeFn_PSN i just played one after reading to just skip everything but the stadium challenges. That's upwards of 4-5 the show packs an hour. As someone who played the US Map 150+ times per season to get the show packs, I learned today DQ will give you at least 1.5x the number of show packs in the same time it took.to clear the big map.
So 30 packs instead of 20 packs for 30 games. You also get them 1 pack at a time rather than 20 at completion. I still wish there was a repeatable conquest map though but DQ seems like a good way to farm basic packs.
-
@RealMessiah_XBL So, do you beeline for the stadiums and forfeit everything along the way? What difficulty do you play them on?

And MS is 15 packs plus ballin plus 5k xp for ~22 games.
As you play multiple seasons you start earning the shop packs, which arent limited to pipeline (future drops should be in there)Both of these options will be more value over time than USA conquest, but some people would just rather play conquest for less packs like they did last year and I hope SDS addresses it

@LadySwampfox_XBL Completely agree. The USA map was great to have in your pocket to grind stats and at the end you got 3k stubs and a 20 pack (or was it a 10 pack) -- regardless it was a decent bonus every time through.
To have taken that away is a bummer. I cant help but jump right to thinking, its about removing those extra rewards...otherwise why not have the 3 split maps have repeatable rewards to replace the old giant map.
I doubt it was an oversight.
It suckssssss. As an offline only player who doesn’t spend real money aside from buying the game, it makes me suspicious? If that makes sense? Like any time a mode that’s a great way to earn rewards though gameplay is affected like this, I can’t help but feel like it’s intentional on their part.

Huh??? Don’t tell me you get less packs for mini seasons this year
I was about to consider grinding that for packs instead, once I finished the conquest maps. -
@mietha_PSN I support this idea 100%!!!

I was about to consider grinding that for packs instead, once I finished the conquest maps.You get the same amount of packs for winning the championship as you always have. 15 Show and 1 Ballin.

Oh ok, gotcha. I suppose I’ll grind that then, but I really wish conquest was repeatable. Mini seasons is okay but it’s such a slog.

We're all entitled to our own opinions about which we prefer but im confused as to why you would consider 26ish games of mini seasons a more tiresome grind than 30 games PLUS the tile simming of conquest.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Mini seasons I found a little more difficult simply because the other teams you play against are stacked with higher cards. It’s not like conquest where you play against the MLB team lineups.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Yes, but the rest of the goals give significantly less packs and the goals they do have take multiple seasons to complete.

Yeah i get that but even still, its a negligible difference. Doing the old US map got you a 20 pack(?), doing mini seasons gets you 16 packs. Doing US map 3 times gets you 60 packs...doing 3 mini seasons gets you 45 standard packs, 3 Ballin packs plus 23 additional standard packs, 3 deluxe packs just for accumulating stats.
Seems like a no-brainer to me. If people grind the US map multiple times, it would probably make more sense to grind the same 3 inning games minus the time wasted simming 200+ tiles.
