As someone who isn't going to spend real money for packs of cards I find most of the challenges are so unattainable that it's hardly worth tracking. When you calculate the cost of acquiring one of the more valuable cards you quickly realize you're never gonna get them. And even if you had the coinage to acquire it makes more economic sense to buy other/better cards from the auction.*

With that said I still enjoy the mode as it's the only card based system where if you play solid you can still compete with a moderate team. I think my team is a "74" overall and I compete and beat teams that are substantially better than mine.

going off of that. I like to play the offline modes a lot. getting challenges, getting players I like, it's fun for me, even without spending money on stubs. It's the best card collecting mode on any sports game I think

Yeah, the stubs come so slowly through offline play modes that the collection missions in particular seem to be unattainable. It's great that we can do them offline but they look to be so difficult that it is more of a discouragement than an incentive. Maybe the prices will go down later.

I think the game is awesome and I am addicted to Diamond Dynasty. My biggest beef would be more efficient ways to farm stubs. I just finished the part of conquest that gives 10 packs and after selling off most everything it netted me about 7000 stubs. My highest pull was a single gold card that only sold for about 1500. I refuse to get sucked into micro transactions so I have learned to embrace the grind.
