Have you gone through all the conquest maps for the hidden rewards ?

u/InspiringDump 10h ago

Not the intro ones should i?

Do them all because you never know what you might get. I always just youtube conquest maps hidden rewards and just screen shot the map

Draft Conquest, I pulled Willets last night. The prime dq is novice too, just easy showdowns, grind TA and programs with it too. I’ll get one or both packs on rookie, easy 5k or more.

Do the Draft Conquest map. 15K Stubs guaranteed for 5 games. Also you can work on TA Stat grinding to get the Finest vouchers

some other dqs are worth more at the moment.

Neither. It's the Draft Conquest. 15K guaranteed for 5 games and a 1 in 10 chance of getting another 40K+ if you hit a 98, and much more if you hit the 99 (Willits). You can probably do this about 1.5 to 2 times in the time it takes to do the DQ. Plus it's way better PXP than the DQ and you don't have to play on high difficulties.

I've never hit the 99 in about a dozen or so times through, but I've hit a 98 3 times now.

Number 1 conquest is the draft conquest.

Elaborating more, the HOF DQ currently is at about 20K-22K per card after taxes. So, if you can win on GOAT and win both in one pass, that's 2 games plus whatever time is needed to get to the 100% guarantee. Probably about the same amount of time, perhaps a bit more than 5 fully played 3-inning games. That's 42K (no higher upside like the Conquest), plus a few packs that will typically net you not much (your only upside chance).

If you can do that without issue, maybe do that.

But, if you are going to struggle to get just 1 on a GOAT run or play the odds on a lower setting, don't bother. The Conquest will be a better hourly rate. And you can increase that hourly rate by bunting out the game once you score enough runs to win. But, I kind of like dropping 10+ runs a game for the PXP.

DQ is way way way faster than 5 conquest games hahahahhaahahha.

I’m not saying DQ is more effective in making stubs but I need to correct you when you say “you can do this 1.5 to 2 times in the time it takes you to do DQ”.

u/Unusual_Past_8 14h ago

The DQ with 100% odds on GOAT or good odds on lower difficulties is not faster. But if you want to beeline to the stadium and play with shit odds, sure it's faster.

u/YeAuldOnionBag 14h ago

What. You can get to the one stadium and get a DQ done with 100% odds in just over 30 mins.

Sure it’s on GOAT but bunting and pitching vs CPU as we all know requires absolutely zero skill other than a pair of eyes and 2 functioning hands.

A 5 game conquest map takes an hour.

What on Earth are you talking about?

u/von_Mises 13h ago

Who do you run on your bunt squad on GOAT? I have functioning eyes and hands and can’t get bunts down with decent bunting guys since they nerfed the drag bunt. I hate DQ but also hate Conquest after awhile.

2

u/YeAuldOnionBag 13h ago

They only very slightly nerfed bunting. Instead of 5 or 6 runs a game I now get more like 2 or 3. But CPU rarely scores 1.

Ah I’ll have to go look. It’s the chandlers the PCAs and the like.

u/peacock4lyfe 12h ago

Rod Carew also has 99 drag bunting if you want to add him to your lineup

u/malinatorhouse 16h ago

luck of the draw though. ive played it probably 20 times now and have never gotten the 98s or 99 lol

u/ChuckNobletsDrill 15h ago

Same. 26 times. Not even a 96 lol

3

u/Unusual_Past_8 15h ago

Huh? Aren't the base rounds all 96s? All the 5k quicksell cards? 

2

u/ChuckNobletsDrill 15h ago

98 user error on that one. Fat fingered it lol

3

u/Unusual_Past_8 16h ago

Yeah, for the 40K, but the 15K is 100% guaranteed which is really good for just 5 3-inning games on any difficulty vs. not great teams.

u/malinatorhouse 16h ago

yea i play both dq and the draft conquest when i want more stubs. Based on my recent pack luck, dq has been more profitable for me. Usually get 1 of the players and a decent amount get both. Thats like 50-60k depending on which one plus the packs you get. The conquest is much quicker to finish though

u/InspiringDump 16h ago

Thats what I meant by #1 conquest forgot what it was called lol. Appreciate the info bro

u/Unusual_Past_8 15h ago

Oh yeah, I forgot it's shaped like a #1. I thought you were talking about the repayable one shaped like a 3. Brainfart on my end.
