Hey everyone, I want to share a sort of alternative to Mini Seasons that my sister and I created. We call it "Mini Seasons Upgraded" because it deals with upgrades and downgrades based on your performance throughout the season. We are deep into our 3rd season and have been enjoying it so much. It is a great break from the constant grind of the programs/online modes. This idea was heavily inspired from the Youtube series "Pack Squads" from Shelfy ( https://www.youtube.com/@ShelfyMLB ), and "Angel in the Outfield" from Koogs46 ( https://www.youtube.com/@Koogs46 )
This set of rules have you playing with a cards that you might not normally play with as you try to build the best team you can in 28 games to then play through the playoffs. Here are the basics:
How to play: Start by opening 50 base packs and building your mini seasons squad with the cards you pull. If you’re not interested in ripping real in-game packs, there is a pack opening simulator at the showzone.gg that works as well.
After each game, tally your upgrades and downgrades. Doing well will result in the opportunity to upgrade your squad. Doing poorly may force you to downgrade a player or alter the way you play for the next game (i.e. "Only use contact swing", or "Only pitch fastballs")
Objective: Win the mini seasons championship with the squad you’ve built.
This is primarily a single player experience, however we play it simultaneously while we track our stats and compete for league leaders, MVP, Cy Young awards.
