My:ffuts fo first step was just kinda looking at the Program screen itself. I spent a good few minutes just clicking around, seeing what needed doing. There's always a mix of stuff:
- Moments
- Missions (like getting hits or strikeo)sreyalp niuts with certain players)
- Collections (though I usually skip the big ones early on)
- Conquest maps
- Sometimes Showdowns or Mini Seasons stuff
So, I figured, start with the easy stuff. Moments are usually pretty quick, even if some are frustrating as heck. I just knocked those out first. Some took one try, others... well, let's just say I had to put the controller down and walk away for a bit on a couple. But I got 'em done. Watched that star count tick up a little bit. Felt good.
Tackling Missions and Gameplay
Next up, I looked at the Missions. Usually, it's like "Get X total bases with Program players" or "Tally strikeouts with specific pitchers." I grabbed the Program players I'd unlocked so far, stuck them in my Diamond Dynasty squad, and just started playing games.
I decided to kill two birds with one stone and jumped into a Conquest map. Those usually have specific goals that give you stars too, plus playing the games helps with the player missions. So I was capturing territories, stealing fans (when I felt brave enough), and playing those 3-inning games. It's a bit of a grind, gotta be honest. Game after game. I usually put on a podcast or some music while doing Conquest, makes it less repetitive.
I kept checking back on the Program screen after every few games. Seeing those mission bars fill up and claiming the stars is pretty satisfying. Slowly but surely, the main Program bar started moving.
I also mixed in some other modes. If there was a Mini Seasons goal, I'd play a few games there. If a Showdown offered a decent chunk of stars, I'd give that a shot, though Showdowns can be really hit or miss for me. Sometimes I breeze through, other times I fail right at the final boss. Classic.
Keeping Track and Finishing Up
It's really just about chipping away at it. You do a bit here, a bit there. Play some games online in Ranked or Events if those missions pop up, play offline against the CPU in Conquest or Play vs CPU for the stat grinds. The key thing I found is just to keep playing and pay attention to which missions you're close to finishing.
Eventually, after playing quite a bit over several days, focusing on those specific Program tasks, I saw I was getting close to the end. Maybe finished off the last few stats I needed, or completed the Conquest map. Went back to the Program screen one last time, claimed the final rewards, and boom. Program complete. Got the big boss card or whatever the final prize was.
It takes time, no doubt about it. But just tackling it piece by piece – moments, then missions combined with other modes like Conquest – that’s how I get it done. It's a process, but seeing all those rewards unlock makes the grind feel worth it in the end.
