DQ Questions
-
-
On each board, there's a square called 'Coach's Cart' or something equivalent. On that square, you can spend your peanuts to buy perks that can be used for the remaining challenges/stadiums on the board.
-
The % on screen is the amount of board complete. Hovering over each stadium gives you the percentage of getting the reward(s).

@savefarris_psn ok, thanks. So for the “coaches cart”, you just have to “find that square” by moving around the board?
-
For my second question, I realize now that, for the level I play on (veteran), I’ll need to complete much, if not all, of the squares in order to get a high percentage chance at the premium reward. And that’s ok.
-
you will have to find the coaches square on the board. It will give you 3 perks to purchase with your peanuts. 1 at 500 peanuts, another at 1500, and the 3rd perk at 2500 peanuts. You can use them on the remaining challenges on the map. If you dont use all your peanuts. They will roll over to each DQ you attempt.. Also if you can only compete on Veteran. you will need to complete every square on the map to have a higher chance at the reward.. But be prepared to not get the reward even if you beat the stadium on Veteran. DQ does reward you for playing on Veteran or Rookie when harder ones come out. The first 3 available to play now...Yes you will get the reward most likely. But as they release new DQ's, they will get harder and a lot less rewarding on the lower levels. fyi.

By the way, the silver packs have just as good of a chance to pull a diamond as standard packs do. Last year, I pulled Judge twice from a DQ silver pack.

@datnickdogg351_psn thanks for the advice. I played the one where you get the eggs (I typically do that one) and had a 99% chance and got them!
I then played the next one where you get Broxton(?) as a reward. I had a 55% chance to get him and actually DID get that reward. I was pleasantly surprised.
If they get harder and the actual chance to get the high end rewards fade in Veteran, there will be a time where I just won’t play DQ any further. I guess that’s OK, but disappointing….
-
@savagesteve74_psn Wow! That’s hard to believe!!
-
I guess since I play on veteran, I need to get in the habit of going thru every square. I don’t make a straight line to the stadium challenge, I kinda “stroll” towards it, mainly to avoid that “sweeper dude”.
I got caught by him just once. Never again!! I never knew a team of commons could hit and pitch like that! It was U-G-L-Y. Like 9-0 after the first inning. -
@capardo_XBL that's because the sweeper game is automatically on Legend or HOF difficulty.. The key to beating DQ is the same as show down..Load your roster up with fast good contact/fast guys that can bunt.. then sprinkle in 2 or 3 power, good vision guys to drive them in at 4 to 6 spots in your line up..At the top and bottom of the lineup load the fast guys bunt your way on. or get a normal hit. be patient even draw a walk.. Steal your way to third, sacrifice that run in. Pitch well and play defense and you can win on high difficulty. You need to put your top 5 pitchers in your rotation. pitch your 5th starter to always face the teams worst starter. which can sometimes be a silver or a bronze. Then use 4 good relievers. 2 lefty and right RP to be able to close down the game and match batter handedness. It about using small ball and pitch location to win on higher difficulty..

So, I went back and played the DQ where you get Garrett Anderson as the big reward. This time, I went over every square. Finally saw the “coaches cart”! I won every challenge and showdown (except 1 or 2). Got to the Angels stadium and had a 100% chance of getting Anderson on Veteran! I was extremely happy for that. Won that game and also received 15 packs for the 2 hour effort. Not bad.
Based on the starting and final percentages, I added 76% to my chances of getting Anderson by clearing the board.
Just passing this on for anyone else, like me, who is exploring DQ for the first time.
Going forward, I’ll add 75% to the initial percentages of getting each type of reward, see if it’s worth my time and count on clearing the board. Play the stadium games on Veteran.
So far, my experience is not too bad….
-
Be aware, not every DQ is goigg by to give you that big a percentage boost. I think the one you did is the tutorial one, so they pretty much guarantee you get the cards. The next one with Feller and Musial is much tougher, doing all the squares gets you to around 60% on AS, lower for veteran and rookie. Still kinda worth it for the additional packs even if you don’t get all the cards, YMMV.
-
@savagesteve74_psn thanks for the info. This is extremely disappointing to hear. I’ll give the next one a try to verify what you are saying (I’m sure it’s true)
If so, that’s probably it for me and DQ (this year). Two plus hours of Moments and Showdowns for only a 60% chance of getting a single card? Not sure that’s worth it.
On top of that, I was tracking XP gained while I was clearing the board. It wasn’t much.
