Fastest Grind Strategy

The key to earning Mike Trout fast is stacking missions and maximizing points per game. Here’s the step-by-step approach:

1. Complete All Moments First

• Start by completing all Spotlight Moments in Drop 4.
• Each moment typically gives 3+ program points without needing specific cards.
• This gives a quick head start toward Trout.

2. Target Stat Missions

• Use early program cards like Brandon Valenzuela (90 OVR) or Parker Messick (90 OVR).
• Focus on missions that reward Parallel XP (PXP) or specific stats like strikeouts, total bases, or hits.
• You can complete multiple missions in the same game to save time.

3. Play vs. CPU on Rookie

• Load your squad with any required Spotlight cards (especially Angels players if missions specify).
• Play against the Rockies at high-elevation parks to boost hitting missions.
• This method lets you finish stat missions in just a few games with minimal effort.

4. Double-Dip with Conquest

• If there’s a Spotlight Conquest or a Mexico City map, run your program cards there.
• You earn PXP for the program while collecting separate map rewards.
• Efficient grinding for multiple goals at once.

Pro Tip: Post-Unlock Bonus

• After unlocking the 92 OVR Trout, add him to your lineup immediately.
• Completing a special mission with him gives a St. Patrick’s Day Choice Pack, which can include the 90 OVR Trout.
• Earn this by tallying 500 PXP with the Spotlight version—another small boost to your collection.

By stacking Moments, targeting stat missions smartly, and combining program and map rewards, you can get the 92 OVR Mike Trout faster than most players. High-elevation CPU games are your friend, and using early program cards efficiently will save hours of grinding.
