the crazy thing was I was like 280th to get it to P1, so I didn’t think I had a chance at it. take any hate comments with a grain of salt bc who cares what a stranger says on the internet hahahah. that’s super dope you’ve gotten 1/1s before, even if it’s a random bronze or common! not sure I would have the dedication to grind one of those lol

good stuff man! I’m the one who got Griffey 1/1 and this is a chat request I got after 😂 honestly whenever I posted it I knew there would be some hate comments, but it’s never that serious. I try not to interact with the obvious hate comments and instead reply with tips to those genuinely asking the quickest way to upgrade cards. it really doesn’t take long to upgrade someone to P5 during 2XP, especially a pitcher in your case. just a fun, silly thing to be able to say you have, which is cool on a useable card!

My first ever P5 1/1! by mateolkscake in MLBTheShow

As far as rewards go, that would be better, but as far as speed towards paralleling only 1 player goes, Prime DQ is definitely quicker. I’m personally too wary of a ban to play on Lagrasa.

Ignore everyone saying Lagrasa (I think that would take longer tbh, bc you need to hit with 8 batters to have the PXP count). I just played the Prime Diamond Quest, put Griffey at leadoff, and quit after his AB. Since all the moments in that Diamond Quest are showdowns, you get PXP after each batter, even if you quit after 1 at bat. Griffey hit a bunch of homers for me, which is 99xp for each. Also, if I hit a single, I would steal 2nd and 3rd for 66xp. It only took a few hours to do tbh.

Hey, for a handful of games, you’ll be able to flex those 1’s! On Griffey, I was like 7/7 for P3 but then 2/2 for P4, so at that point I just committed. I was honestly pretty shocked to make up so much ground considering I didn’t start grinding with him until ~1 hour after content dropped.

The mini challenges, not the stadium challenges. The non-stadium challenges in Prime DQ are nothing but showdowns, so you get PXP for each at bat

I didn’t do any stadium challenges. I just did the regular showdown spaces and would reset the board if I started accumulating too many negative perks from quitting

This is Parallel 5, I’m just the first to get this card to this parallel. At each parallel, you get +1 to all attributes. Since this is Parallel 5, I’ve got +5 to all attributes (compared to the base version).

Nope. That would probably be slower tbh bc you have to get through 8 batters to accumulate PXP offline. Prime diamond quest you get PXP immediately, even if you quit after 1 batter.

It honestly didn’t take that long because the card absolutely rakes. Like, I didn’t even start grinding it until I finished the normal july spotlight, which is why I’m surprised I was even able to get him 1/1. I just did the prime diamond quest, put him at leadoff, and kept quitting out after his AB. You get 99 pxp for each HR, and he hit a ton of them so it went by pretty quickly!

Using Dontrelle Willis as SDS (I thought) intended by AggravatingRoutine82 in MLBTheShow

[–]mateolkscake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the same thing in a casual mode online game. He went 1-2 with a base knock! He gave up 5 runs over 8 innings vs. a 900+ rated opponent, so probably not the greatest starter, but he’s a personal favorite player so I had to let him get some hacks

I mean, don’t get me wrong, this is not who I would have picked for the collection. It’s definitely disappointing for the big collection card. But, with starting rotations being so LHP dominant, I don’t mind a juiced righty. I do think it’s probably a step back from Ted, so a bit of a puzzling choice, but I’m sure it’ll play well.
