<![CDATA[Burnt out on the offline grinding. Rinse and repeat structure for collections]]>How many hours do I have to play offline to complete every collection! Its the same [censored] over and over rinse and repeat. Why do online players need to play mini seasons, diamond quest and conquest to complete a collection? And you give us one lousy card in an online event. This is a joke at this point. Yeah yeah I know i could buy the cards in diamond quest or the other expensive cards. Im no money spent not that easy. I know the offline players arnt happy for their own reasons also. This isnt a online vs offline player rant. This is just so ridiculous and uncreative at this point.

I have no idea how some of yall can sit thru mini season after mini season.

Offline people don't want to play online.

There is a very easy solution to this. Put the cards in the programs. Put packs in events/mini seasons/conquest. Make the packs better for the online modes. Problem solved.

I also have about 250 hours (maybe slightly more, and not a single minute online), but I have the live series done and I only need either egg collection or St. Patrick’s Day to get the 99 Cabrera. I have city scapes almost finished too.

And I’ve finished all XP innings this year too.

There’s more to grinding that “just play”. Be efficient with your time and what you’re playing.

i'm NMS and just need Ohtani and Judge for Live seres and last week there were posts about grainding mini seasons to get packs. I did that and I got only 1 diamond Mason Miller card out of it. I'm done w/ grinding now. that method doesn't work. seems like it's all up to luck.

That method worked at the beginning of the year before the bots trashed the market, it wasn't about diamonds, the bronzes and silvers had value then.
It isn't a viable strategy now,

Lots and lots and lots of grinding.

@DemIsE4_XBL i decided to punt live series a few weeks ago after i finished the american league. And I wish I never finished the American league either now. Im not spending 600k plus stubs on one player to finish the national league. Im getting absolutely nothing out of packs, so I went after j ram instead. Its just a total joke at this point. And now all the top live series cards are way down in price, but of course judge and ohani still cost 1.1m unbelievable. So now even if i do start to pull cards they arnt worth c r a p. And will no longer help to save stubs for ohtani. This company sucks.

It's bizarre to me how they want us to spend millions of stubs on players who we can use on ORated or any offline mode for FREE. In fact, I haven't checked this year but in past years the non-DD players were usually about seven overall points higher than DD Live Series. I'm down to two left and I'm probably not finishing them anytime soon, even when I have enough stubs as I'd rather save for future NLB 99s and Cubs (even though they've gotten rid of so many of my faves there too).

I've probably played over 250 hours and have zero collection cards (the final one). No Tulo, Mantle, Ketel, Miggy, Santana, etc. I am going to face lineups next weekend full of players I don't even have. Going after LS was a complete waste of time. Not only have I not finished that, it has hampered me from getting anything else. I would give back all those stubs for a Ketel and Santana.

No, I'm not going to play DQ for 100 hours hoping I get the RNG.
