I give up on playing the market.

Re: I give up on playing the market.

1750 innings with Cleveland is something I can't even begin to comprehend, it's the worst. And yeah, how they chose innings requirement doesn't quite make sense to me. Completing the Rockies is an easy Matt Holliday (Aka 5K stubs)

Ton of games but at least you can field a decent enough team to play with, lots of golds and silvers. Although if youre just doing the bunting thing I guess that part doesnt matter.

Im also weird and keep everyone. I have one copy of every player in the game pretty much haha.

Re: I give up on playing the market.

The amount of innings is directly related to the first guy you unlock, but it's not consistent...

Santana (90) - 1750 innings...
Drew (89), Victorino (89), Latos (89), Sandoval (89) - 1500 innings

And as you go down in rank, the less innings needed...

LaRoche (85), Bichette (85), Craig (83) - 700 innings

It's inconsistent in that Toronto is 1150 innings for an 80 Joe Carter and the Rays are 850 innings for an 85 Wil Myers...

I haven't grinded the Phillies yet, as I dread the 1500 and, as stated, I don't care to use any of them...My worst grinds so far have been the Padres, Reds and Rays...For me, those were brutal as I couldn't hit with them very well...

We'll get you in on the next season



And it is total BULL**** that Joe Carter is the Jays reward, a SILVER, and his picture shows him on the Indians....hey how about having the ACTUAL Blue Jays Joe Carter that was great???

Or any actual Jay. I think Carter is the only reward card where the card's team doesn't match the collection.

Unrelated Jays news: Took my 16-month-old son to the Jays game today. Saw former Jay Rajai Davis hit for the cycle!

Re: I give up on playing the market.

Yes, I buy games to play the actual game, not to waste hours bunting back and forth for some ****ty in game reward.

i dont buy games to play countless innings with the ****ty padres bronze catchers either.

Play Derek Norris or Yasmani Grandal then, both silvers

Re: I give up on playing the market.

Make it sound like the 1st place Indians are awful to play with. Like walking over miles of broken glass in the Middle East while wearing a wool pants.

Lindor, Salazar, Kluber, Kipnis, Carrasco, Lofton, and Rajai just to name a few.

I agree with this, Indians have been one of my Fav teams to do the innings Challenge with, after the Blue Jays.

Lofton and Lindor at the top of the line up with their speed, I used Joe Carter, Napoli and Santana in the middle of the line up. with Kipnis and Gomes and Uribe 6-8. Solid team with a good amount of POP.

Also their starting Rotation is a ton of fun to use.

Re: I give up on playing the market.

I don't find the innings grind that bad. The Indians is basically 3 games a day for 7 days.

I don't know about you but that sounds like an absolutely terrible time

Re: I give up on playing the market.

I've never bothered grinding like that, instead I just combine a couple of teams that compliment each other and have a half and half team of their best players and just play normally. It might take twice as long per team, but you're doing two at once and not having to make a complete chore out of it. Doing Nats and DBacks at the moment and you can make a hell of a team

That's a good idea, something I did, till I decided to just suck it up and go all in with one team at a time. But I have MLB TV and that is great at helping the time pass

Lindor & Santana were two of the first cards I got from conquest so I don't have to play the 22 Indians games. To make the process less daunting, I wrote down innings needed divided by 81 for all teams and I wasn't as bad off as I thought. Most teams have fallen into the 10-13 range due to the number of conquest games I played using diverse lineups. I just started going easiest (Cubs 7 games) to hardest (Mets 18 games) to complete until i'm done.

I pretty much did the same, but I went for a combo of easiest/who would get me the most stubs refund. I knocked out a lot of mine by playing an unholy amount of BR till that mode wore me off.

Re: I give up on playing the market.

I guess I am in the minority but I quite enjoy makign a full team of the indians or mets, then playing full 9 inning games and grinding it out. I randomly select a CPU team on ALL Star, and play a best of 3 against them, then move onto the next, that's how I have kept myself interested. Ocasionally I change my team name and uniforms to match the team I am playing as as well
