I've been doing so many pxp missions with so many random guys for so long I don't remember who I actually like anymore...

I agree and made a similar post yesterday. Way too many good cards all at once free for everyone. You could literally get the game today starting totally new, spend a day doing TA3, and have a team of 99s...

FYI for anyone else that couldn't find him to get the 5Ks lol...

Just came up with this info replying to another thread, the only 3 cards in the game right now with 80+ contact and 100+ power vs both arm sides are Frank, Pujols, and Rizzo.

Yes he's slow as dirt, but if he wasn't he'd be a 95. He's also got over 70 vision and more than adequate fielding at first. He's one of the best pure hitting cards in the game, like it or not.

It sucks being done with the inning/program and xp counting for absolutely nothing. There should be a bonus pool that can carry over a bit to the next one or even just like a basic pack every 5k xp or whatever. Doesn't have to be great, but SOMETHING would be good.

What’s the goal to get through Stage 2? Seems very long and half the players u don’t get in packs so?

Exactly, is it get to Rizzo unlocks stage 3 or do you have to clear every stage 2 pxp mission? If it’s the latter I would need to spend about 50k to get no sell cards and that won’t happen. I will just stop with rizzo.

It does seem you need to do every pxp mission unless u buy all 9 of the POTM cards in order to get to Dawson and Rizzo

Why are the Topps now pxp and Monthly awards pxp not repeatable in stage 2? That’s confusing

No. You don't need to buy any of them.

Ummm, you do know that you CANT complete the Optional Collection UNTIL you get past Rizzo?

There are TWO collections. First one is to Collect Five POTM cards, which you HAVE to do to get Rizzo, and they give you Five packs to get those cards.

Then after you get past Rizzo; you get the last 4 of the 9 total POTM players. Those 4 go towards the Optional which is 9 cards.

They made the last four non sellable so you had to pick the remaining four and couldn't pick doubles of ones you already locked in.

I must be missing something then what do you need to accomplish in order to get all the points needed for stage two I see the collection where you lock in the five for 15 points I did all the moments and I did all of the PXP for many points like to 15 points but I still feel like I don’t have enough

After doing all the moments you need to do the Topps Now mission for 10 points. That'll get you 3 88 packs. Then you have to do their pxp missions. Then you'll get a 90 pack. You have to do that guys pxp mission. Then you have to use those 4 guys to get 2500 hitter pxp and 3000 pitcher pxp, which is quite a grind. Then you'll get the 2nd 90 pack and can do that that guys pxp mission and will be able to to the first collection. Then you'll get Dawson and have to do his pxp mission and then you're done stage 2

Double XP starts the 13th. I've only played offline so far (conquest and mini seasons) and I play on rookie 90% of the time with the occasional veteran or all star when needed in conquest. I don't have any issues finishing missions.

3000pxp with a team is painfully easy. Just use only players from that team. Pitchers get 40pxp just for pitching an inning! If you play a 3 inning game you'll get 90pxp just for 9 at bats, and the pitchers will get 120 just for 3 innings. That's 210pxp right there for getting no walks, no hits, no runs, and pitchers getting no strikeouts, no win, no hold and no save....

And you don't need to buy any diamonds or anything I have most of the team's gold and below done just from all the free packs, and I'll occasionally buy a gold or missing silver because I'm going to need them to finish the live series anyways. And if you're trying to get an individual player's pxp stick them near the top of the lineup to do two things at once.

I like the game a lot, but there needs to be more to do offline. I can only run the US conquest map so many times. There really should be offline seasons, playoffs, tournament, home run derby, etc etc. I don't even need "rewards", just another context besides conquest to work on parallels and other missions. Or even if they just stick with conquest there's really no reason why there shouldn't be at least 2 new ones a week.

That said, I have no interest in a made up stadium from a crappy movie.

It's a real stadium, that the White Sox and Yankees will be playing in on Thursday...

This is a new one lol

I can't think of anything more boring or uninteresting and I think any mode like this in a yearly sports release is a HUGE waste of time and resources. We're still working with essentially the same PS3 graphics, I don't need any stupid "stories".

But I'll do it for whatever the Diamond Dynasty rewards are...

Just finished the Showdowns and have started in on the moments. After those I'll be working the missions for the affinity and world classic, starting with conquests.

I just finished all of the Showdowns and moved onto some of the moments so I haven't even played any games yet just this [censored]. But yeah the Showdowns were a pain in the [censored]. The AI is still ridiculous with their diving all over the place, back foot throws across the diamond, constant double plays, robbed home runs, etc etc. I'm glad it's over. For now...

People play with the music on?

I could name a million improvements I'd suggest for the game, including tweaking hitting a bit, but I really don't understand what everyone's issue is with the hitting engine. It's fine, and it replicates real baseball pretty well. People seem to complain about RNG but for one, that's pretty realistic. And two, just watch top players on YouTube and twitch...They don't have many issues with RNG. The best players seem to win the vast majority of the time, so there's obviously skill involved.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting mine in the zone! SDS must just have it programed this way for you only!

Next batter...

This is a joke I don't have all day for this, code your [censored] game properly and respect my time just a tiny bit

Congrats on wasting so much time

Because they aren't allowing any of them to be 99s so he has to be nerfed somewhere

I love Papi and I know he's going into the HoF, but the Live Series reward is already a 99 first base with mediocre fielding and no speed. 99 collection rewards should never be the same position...
