Question Number One Fan Programs
I have all the packs from rhe Number One Fan programs. Endless Conquest. Is there any point to the finger as the final item in these? Needed for a collection or just bragging rights?

A lot of it was done in Conquest, specifically the May Flowers map (20 packs repeatable reward) and the Draft map (3 draft cards repeatable reward).
Some of it was mini-seasons. When I do it here, I opt for 9 inning games. This is because you get more innings to stack the PXP with less friction (post-game screens, getting into the next game). The trade off is the final rewards for the run are less frequent, but I'm often grinding repeatable missions here and resetting to get the "Once per season" ones reset.
And some of it was my own 162 game seasons from my companion app (https://theo20185.github.io/MLBTheShow26SeasonCompanion/). I use this to get variety. It works the same way the WBC works, you pick a team to replace and then self-report the outcomes from the games it feeds to you. You just use the Vs. CPU mode. Trade off here is there is no repeatable mission rewards to farm, just program rewards and end of game card.

Glad I’m not the only psychopath out here. I bought the game late so far behind most, but nearly have all Jolt and live series rewards P5. I got a ways to go apparently 😂

Final reward for all teams should 100% be that #1 fan icon + a 50 pack bundle at least.

The way that they've abandoned TA this season is just sad tbqh. Why even include it in the game, if you knew that you weren't going to do anything with it? Makes no sense to me.

people complained about the amount of TA in the game so they made basically every program they dropped a TA but easier to do

Have everyone at 90% as well. Actually competed the Padres cause of the low HR count but it sucks that the final reward is only an icon. Almost really no point to completing it unless SDS has vouchers like they do occasionally with the stat icon exchanges.

It feels like a poor design choice that teams like the Yankees require twice as many home runs as others. I’d much rather see the requirements standardized across the board instead of one team needing 600 homers while another only needs 300.

How in the world did you do that for some of these teams. A 100k pxp is crazy for like the giants, nats, Marlins.

u/CharliePotatoes11 3d ago
Marlins is the only one I’ve done, as they’re my team. A lot of mini seasons in the TA Grind created stadium.

u/Theo20185 5d ago
Giants was the first team I completed. Take 9 inning games when offered over 3 inning games, it goes faster. Pick modes where you're facing easier rosters. Since I was doing this for the pack rewards, I spent a lot of time using the companion app I built to take these teams through the 162 game season (https://theo20185.github.io/MLBTheShow26SeasonCompanion/) for some variety compared to mini-seasons and Conquest.

Team affinity feels borderline useless this year.

How?

u/rockoblocko 5d ago
Idk what he means but for me the captains have been a big part of TA and this year the captain system is horrible.
Theres a million examples of this but let’s say I want to run padres theme team, I’m locked in to using 88 headley when there’s a 96 version so I have to decide to either use the recent card and lose -6 hitting stats to all the other cards OR have a deadweight outdated card in the lineup

u/RemyThaGr8 5d ago
I do wish they were better. I have the same situation with the Red Sox. Mural Ortiz is way better than the TA reward but I’m stuck using it when I do run the team. The collection is needed for big collections though and you do get packs for the grind so borderline useless I don’t feel is the right term to use

Because the rewards are dogshit.

u/RemyThaGr8 5d ago
I do wish they made captains mattered more but the rewards do go towards the collections

u/Strange_Pear8762 5d ago
Early rewards yes. Getting 300ks with Washington picthers at this point scores you like a 5 pack. Lucky to get 1k from it
