I have been unable to log in without getting an error for over a year after unlinking to my Twitch account for Twitch drops. I sent several support tickets to the Devs, and outside of mostly getting messages that it's being worked on one question from them was do I have an adblocker on. (I don't.) Anyone else having this problem and fix it?
@beatlesnews_psn said in Are Topps Now considered Monthly Awards?:
Thanks, @yankblan_PSN and @Catman9186_PSN. I wish I'd gotten a second pitcher that's not a reliever (the other four POTM I have are hitters) but soon as I get the next pick, it'll be a pitcher.

I know this seems like a really dumb question at this point but a lot of the Topps Now cards are not listed in the list of cards that can be used to add XP to the April monthly awards program. Do they all count?
Glad to see the Brandon Crawford card.
I just uploaded it as I would normally. I've also uploaded it once since without a problem. Send a ticket in.
OK, thanks.

If you have the stubs, rent the hitters you don't have and then sell them back for a tiny profit. Just DON'T lock them in on the optional collection. If you do this you won't even need to do the Andre mission.
LOL.
@crimson_monk_psn said in Monthly awards, Big Dog programs broken:
use the pitchers for the PXP grind....and yes the hitting one is a slog no matter what, but play 9 inning CPU games and the pitchers should amass 500-700 PXP
Been doing just that. Thanks.
@pat_sds_psn said in Notifications on '21 and '22:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into this.
Thanks, @Pat_SDS_PSN.
And thanks to everyone for the (well almost everyone) for the suggestions on the two programs made in this thread. They have helped.

I stink at all Showdowns too! I hate having to do them. I’m still trying to finish up the April monthly award to get Rizzo and Dawson. I’m stuck at 139, and can’t seem to get those xps needed to get the points. So frustrating! I would just like to get Dawson and Rizzo and be done with April so I can focus on the Big Dog and other programs coming out!
What I did, and it seems to help, is make a squad of just monthly players. That would logically be the best way to get the XP. And it has started to work for me. Slowly but surely, I'll get to Dawson, though not before the Spring program finishes.
And I'm like you on Showdowns. Hate 'em. I saw some tips from @smalltownkid1990 last night though that I'm going to try. He said to work the count. Don't swing at anything because the computer will do its best to walk you. Another tip from the same person was don't swing until you get to two strikes and also get the perk that gives you a boost with two strikes. He also suggested get a fast guy on the bench to pinch run when you get the winning run on base.
Thanks again to @smalltownkid1990. Those suggestions sound worth a try.
I think I figured out what I was doing wrong with April. I played my most recent CPU game with April, May and others mixed when you have to play only with April. So I revamped the squad with April players at every position (except 1B, which doesn't have an April POM) and I'll play that squad next time out.
As for Big Dog showdown, sigh, guess I'll try that one again. I wish I was better at them. Even the easy ones give me problems. I do remember getting through the FOD and the Scherzer showdowns, but otherwise I don't bother. Guess I'll have to here.

May Topps now only has 16 points available until Fri, when the next set of cards is released.
Thanks. I figured I was missing something.
@samguenther1987 said in Monthly awards, Big Dog programs frustrating:
@beatlesnews_psn said in Monthly awards, Big Dog programs frustrating: I am completely confused on how to advance in these programs. At the moment I have 117 points in the April program, 16 points in the May program, and 84 points in the big dog program. I just got through playing a CPU game with all the monthly awards players I have (4) and Topps Now players. Which I won. I didn’t advance at all in any of those programs. Now I know the big dog program has a 20 point showdown. I don’t like showdowns. Is there another way to advance in this program? And what about the monthly awards? Last year it seemed there were alternate ways to advance. Unless I’m wrong (not surprising) there doesn’t seem to be now. I’ve noticed people complaining about not getting XP but I think it’s frustration about these programs. I hope SDS can address this. It's the easiest showdown you will ever do, trust me if i can do it anyone can.

@koolbreeeze35_mlbts said in April monthly program bug: So you just miss out on 20 rewards points for no reason? There are more reward points than necessary so you can skip certain moments if you wanted to. Nothing is wasted.

There are more reward points than necessary so you can skip certain moments if you wanted to. Nothing is wasted.
So how do you gain points after stage 1? And also stage 2? I'm still sitting on stage two and have hardly moved. Last year it was easier to move forward. It's not this year, at least from my experience.
@flamexjd20_psn said in Big Dog final moment:
Does reaching on error ccount as a base?
Don't think so. I know reaching on a walk doesn't, which is something I've never understood.
I held off doing this one (mostly for time reasons) until this a.m. Won it on the first try and down to my last strike with Todd Helton at the plate. He hits a decent fly to center field and I'm thinking, "It'll get caught. I'll have to do this over again." Nope. Center fielder drops it and I got the 12 total bases.
@dominickb3_xbl said in Conquest:
I just think of it like baseball risk. The more territories you have, the more reinforcements you get.
That's what it really is. And you don't really need to play Risk (I don't) to enjoy it. Once you get the hang of it, which isn't really that hard, it's fun. I managed to get through the Mother's Day one and I didn't think I would.
