How did NMS players complete the live collection?
-
I did 3 seasons of mini seasons 3 inn 7 games and playoffs from everyones advice.
My reward - one diamond Mason Miller card.
I don't know if I want to do this grind again. It doesn't feel like it's worth it.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I find it very hard to believe that’s the only diamond. Which mini season and are you completing all the goals?
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I never suggested Ohtani was 300. I bought him for 530k and Judge for 350k. People don’t realize how easy it is to get to a million because they keep too many cards. They buy cards that they could get later for a lot cheaper. They keep cards that are way above quicksell when they could sell them and buy them back later at quicksell. I had Ohtani within a few days and then Judge a few days after that. When you understand the market, it’s not difficult at all. Sure it will take more than a few days if you don’t want to flip or do anything like that, but it doesn’t take as long as you are suggesting if you’re smart about it.
SMH. There was a time when I only collected non-sell cards and was still well over 1.2 million stubs from completion. I don't understand how difficult it is to comprehend you NEED to do at least one of these things:
Flip/Invest
Spend money
10 win BR runs
Get lucky with pack pullsIf you don't do these you are not getting collections done. Really not hard. I guess you could possibly play 10 hours a day too. I would probably look in the mirror and ask where my life is heading if I'm doing that though.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN yup this is the way to do it. Knock out the big dogs first.
-
Totally understand it. I’ve enjoyed the game less and less for the past 3-4 years and this year has been by far the worse yet for every reason imaginable.
I eventually quit playing most other games I used to enjoy and the time has come for this game too. I will help my son from time to time but I’m done grinding a subpar product that has become rotten to the core.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL Simply not true.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I find it very hard to believe that’s the only diamond. Which mini season and are you completing all the goals?
I did the Mural one. I got the Ripken and Springer cards by doing the missions. But out the pack rewards at the end of the season, I only got that one diamond from the 10 pack cards and 1 or 2 BIH packs.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN My thoughts exactly. Again, I still play MLB the Show 26, and enjoy it, but just not engaging with the Diamond Dynasty aspect of it anymore. No more cards, stubs, XP, etc that I am even worrying about going forward.
-
Let’s see, I have just about every collection done, just 2 cards away from Jram:
Flip/Invest - Nope, not a single one
Spend money - Nope
10 win BR runs - Not even close
Get lucky with pack pulls - Relative, I’ve pulled a couple of 90+ but nothing super special. I did pull a mid-tier Mural, but that’s the only one I’ve gotten that wasn’t base.You refuse to acknowledge there’s an easier way to earn stubs without banging your head against pack luck. There’s a mode that guarantees you at least 18k stubs with the likelihood of 30k if you can play higher difficulty. In the same amount of time it takes to play a WBC MS.
-
I'm no where close, but will be soon I am over a million stubs saved from flipping and selling off dupes. I'm working on the NL right now. Spending a percentage of my stubs towards LS so that way I have enough liquidity to pluck off the big dogs whenever the next flash sale comes around. Yeah I agree with @demise4_xbl, you have to flip/invest or spend money. I would much rather flip, I set a bunch a buy orders in the morning around lunchtime I sell them off and rinse and repeat once more. I can't grind miniseasons for that long it's so mind numbing.
-
With my NMS bank card.
Most people who say they are nms are just lying.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL That’s actually a pretty good result from 30 standard packs.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I doubt it. Maybe you just don’t realize how easy it is to generate stubs. I have every card in the game I want and about 3 million in duplicates no money spent.
-
Keep in mind that back in the beginning when wbc was the only miniseason, 7 games to get the bundle but also had 4 wbc programs and 30 ta programs dropping packs on you, card values were also much higher then and it wasn't a stretch to be opening more than 50 or a hundred packs at a time( especially if you did multiple seasons between openings) and with card values higher it wasn't unusual to get 1000 or more per pack even with no diamonds in them.
With bronze silver and golds all at or close to quick sell value now,what was easy then is not so easy now. -
@GoozeFn_PSN cool story.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I’m 40 years old dude. I have no reason to lie about a meaningless game and I couldn’t care less whether or not you believe me.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN clearly

You mean play DQ 50 times for Shohei. Hard pass, that mode sucks worse than mini seasons. I have over 3 hours per day since launch. I would say majority of people are having trouble with collections. Are you going to tell us you don't have a job and play 8 hours a day? How many total hours do you have?
-
That, plus spamming DQ requires you to bunt cheese on goat difficulty which most people including myself simply can not do repeatedly with any success.
Regardless, it’s a miserable way to play the game and shouldn’t be necessary if every other method of making stubs wasn’t tanked this year. Coupled with the bots farming mini seasons and manipulating the market which has inflated prices and destroyed margins.
-
Would the packs in mini seasons be better if cheaters weren't farming it 100k times? Not sure but it is worth a mention. Maybe if they aren't farming so many packs illegally my pulls would have been better and I wouldn't be having this discussion.
Anyone heard anything on the cheating or does SDS think it is going to go away with scare tactics? FYI - those don't work.
