<![CDATA[Brandon Nimmo Mini Seasons Goal]]>I'm not a fan of this goal at all. 11 wins on all star, against teams that are stacked with endgame collection rewards like Tulo and Pujols?? It's ridiculous.

It doesn't fit the formula for previous mini seasons goals that I can remember. Usually it has been unlock Card A, get strikeouts/hits/etc. with Card A to Unlock Card B, use card B to unlock Card C, and so on. And why 11 wins on all star? 11?? That's almost half a 28-game mini season. It's just too much.

Here is a tip for you that I use on all star. Stack your bench with speed guys 80 or higher. Then if you get on base with a guy lower than 80 speed sub in a pinch runner and steal 2nd and 3rd base. Then just hit a sac fly or put the ball in play. Do this to get 2 or 3 runs and that’s usually enough to get the win. Hope this helps as it’s been my go to and seems to work most of the time. Good luck.

There have been rewards in the past tied to the level you play in mini, but it may be the first time a player was attached to it. I can see how it's hard for some players, but give it a try. You'll probably do it sooner than you think.

I managed to win 9 games on all star and then lost two in a row. It was like running into a brick wall. My pitchers couldn't pitch and my hitters couldn't make good contact. I just got fed up and put the controller down for the day.

The lineups I ran into were absolutely stacked with the highest cards available right now, like the live series collection rewards—Pujols, Tulo... I can't compete against that on all-star! Not unless the baseball gods favor me and I get Shohei in a pack. I just wish the teams I faced were more balanced compared to the team I have.

This quote is why things like this should never have difficulty attached to them.
Let people pick their fun. Pxp being faster on all star is a good incentive already to play it (I typiclly play conquest on all star this year specifically for that reason), forcing it just will turn away people in the long run.

Exactly! 100%! You hit the nail on the head. Why does unlocking Nimmo have to be a sweat fest. I play this game because I love baseball and want to have fun, not be stressed out.

That way you could play whatever level you want and still get it done. Play rookie may take longer, but at least you’re grinding toward it.

I posted about this being a strange, random, excessive goal shortly after the mini seasons was released. 11 wins on all star for a mediocre card that has sub par power. Then asking you to hit 5 HRs with it afterwards was icing on the cake.

Last year we would get the player for winning the mini seasons, now 11 wins on all-star? Pass.

The goal tracks across multiple seasons, on the vs screen before selecting play game,scroll down and you'll see their starting rotation, the order you see there is the order in game so you can pick easier matchups for your all star games

I was able to get the 11 wins, albeit with a few Ls here and there. The 5 HRs probably took me 12 or so 3 inning games. I got a bit fortunate facing a righty so that helped.
