It helps to have runners on base a lot.

You can finish the map then go back and get the steal fans done. there are 3- stl 3 by 3rd turn, 6 by 6th turn and stl 9 by 9th turn.

Thank you! Yea, I got (or will) get the 6 and 9. Much appreciated!

@mubby_33_psn said in Mini Season - Strategy Question?:

I have completed it 15 times. Load up on the two goals first (strikeouts and RBIs). I have a lineup just set with Vet, Rookie and Breakout pitchers and is loaded with Second half stars for the RBIs. Try to get a schedule where you play more home games at the beginning of the season. I play all home games which is 14 wins and then there are usually a couple teams that are terrible that I play on the road. Goal is usually 20 wins. After that I try to stay the top seed but as long as you are 3rd or better you meet that goal also. If you are really worried about the playoffs, I have also manipulated losses to make sure the Cats and Whales stay out. Like lose two easy games to the 5 place team to bump one of those out. But really on rookie it should be pretty easy.

I have done that as well lose games to bump a team out.

@zooropa_returns said in Big Dog Program - Showdown?:

I agree this is easy but many do not like these and making the player pay stubs to play any segment of a program is lame.

You aren't paying unless you lose

I finished Stage 1 without buying any cards. When you finish the moments, you'll have all the cards you need for the required collection. You'll only earn 65 points instead of 92, but you'll have the cards and finish Stage 1.

Edit: I did the Topps Now moments to get the cards, I haven’t looked to see if those are the same as the April Stage 1 moments, but I think they are.

Inside edge, based on their real life matchups they get a boost or downgrade on that day

Thanks! I thought that was the upper right corner where the player I linked went from a 69 to a 70.

But the bottom right with the 2 blue stars is like the same thing?

Very top right is the base overall, underneath in green (or red if it a decrease) is the overall factoring in the star rating at the bottom. Every day live series cards (the base set) get a 1-5 rating based on their actual matchup in real life. If you press Y/triangle to look at the card details under attributes you'll see the specific boots or downgrades.

I have not even tried playing yet. My rotation & bullpen is not good enough to keep the CPU's Diamond Hitters at bay. I focused more on developing my line up first. Waiting to get better pitchers so I could breeze thru 30 games & winning the minimum 25 needed to advance to post season play in Mini. I just dont want to be playing close games against CPU that can go either way.

This is why I "ONLY" do MTO in "Beginner", just so I can breeze thru it easily. Makes no sense to do MTO in Rookie or Veteran if it gives the same amount of XP as it does on Beginner. Not to mention blow out wins gives more overall game XP. The same goes with Mini having blowout wins & getting more game XP at the end. So IMO Mini only pays off to be played on Rookie with a God-Squad of your own. My line up is there based on cards released so far, but my pitching is not.

It's the app. You type in an amount and then just keep hitting the button as fast as the system can register it.

ahhhh, I didn't know there was an app. I've just been using my google browser. UGH! Thanks!

My phone is too old to use the app so I use the website. But a lot of times it gets an error when I try to put in a buy or sell. "The page is taking its sweet time loading. You may try the following options: Hide Completed Orders | Hide Trends | Hide Current Orders" SDS is aware of the problem. My suspicion is that it involves Recaptcha.

I'd play it safe and do as many as you can just so you don't get surprised at the beginning of may, realizing that you need to do them and have like 20 to do before you can progress.

This month should then give us an idea how it will work the rest of the season.

Historically Trout was the only diamond on the Angels collection. The Angels collection price is in line with where it was in previous years, but now 150k stubs are being siphoned off towards Ohtani. This is good for the 99.9% who likely won’t pull a Trout card till the end of the season…sucks for you though.

Hold for the stub sale inflation. Besides, it’s not like you are going to find anyone better for your lineup/OF.

I hope so too!

I still have a few earlier TA Conquest maps I never finished as well as the DS one, and the Central TA 5 to do yet.

I bought mattingly. Finished the showdown and he was in the pack. I wasted stubs.

@savefarris_psn said in Prime Player Collection Cards:

That's an SDS question.

Baez is in the current event, and the new round starts Friday ('with new awards' according to the calendar), but no one except Luis, Steven, and the rest of the Live Content team knows whether the new awards are add-ons or replacements and they ain't saying.

Actually the next part of this event starts today at noon (9.23)

You really are the database for this forum though and I for one really appreciate it.

@mrad2010_xbl said in Javier Baez Price?:

it keeps going down. It's down 283k now, I'm guessing it will get down even lower than that,

I'm telling you patience is the way to go here. I predict he falls below 250k by tomorrow evening. Helton is down to 160k

@samguenther1987 said in Headliner Packs?:

@cobain93_psn said in Headliner Packs?:

I never open packs with stubs, just work the market if I want a player. Being a Cubs fan, I really want the 99 Kerry Wood!

My question is how often are these Headliner packs updated? I figure his price will only decrease until the pack comes out of the store and a new 99 player is put in the next pack.

Is there a particular day of the week those are updated?

TIA

Headliners are updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays I believe next set will be #40 and I believe last year we had 50. If your able to wait Kerry Wood's price will come down because it will be in future conquest maps and programs. I bought him immediately because i know how good he can be.

You're no lying, a few days ago he was 85K, yesterday I got him for 65k.

I feel like the TA's were way further spaced out last year, these ones have come quick, love it. TA5 or even TA6 at this rate!?

@x814xmafia_mlbts said in Daily XP Cap Question?:

Bonus XP: Collections cards/Completing Showdowns/Completing Conquest maps font count towards cap.

And if there is Double XP, the CAP is doubled.

I think they messed this up, because it just told me I hit the daily cap.

All I played today was 5 Conquest games and 1 Extra innings game.

When did you play last night? If you played last night BEFORE you turned the game in tonight; then your XP cap didn't reset.

Ex: I won't have time to play tonight until 12 midnight EST.

Once I incur the first amount of XP, I start my countdown. I turn the game off after getting 30K in XP and come back to play tomorrow at 6pm EST. I have 30K of XP left that I can earn until 12 midnight Fri/Sat

Turns out I just needed to restart the game.

@cobain93_psn said in Finally got Clemente - 'Offline Player':

So, I hate playing online, but I figured I would try to just get the 10 K's with White Sox pitchers in 'Events'. Especially since the FOD Event is free to enter (ends tomorrow).

To the 4 players that beat me 35-0 EACH and noticing that I didn't swing at a single pitch and only pitched with White Sox players.....I'm glad I was able to help you pad your stats.

Brutal....but got Clemente!

Gratz buddy.

The double standard I’m referring to is with all these complaints from so called “offline players”, nobody is mentioning the fact that “online players” unequivocally need to play offline content to get the program done
