Packs from Challenge Mode
Anyone have a list of Challenge Mode achievements that reward packs? Or is there someplace in the game it is listed.
Would be nice to know what to work towards. I got one that I think was for making the playoffs for the first time? But it might have been for winning MVP I can´t remember exactly. |

Doesn't work that way.
Earning achievements doesn't get you a pack. What happens is they tell the server you got an achievement and then the server decides if you get a pack. I believe the better the achievement the greater chance to get a pack. So winning the world series should give you a better chance compared to rookie of the month. Also note that there is a cooldown between how often you can win. My guess is a week in between. My first and only pack came from winning rookie of the month. |

It seems the cool down period is more secret than the Colonels recipe...I'm not so sure it is a week.... It would be nice to get a official clarification on just how long the cool down period really is.... |

I only ask because I like to play through most of my games, which makes my achievement-gathering a lot slower than simming through a season. Essentially gimping myself by playing a main feature of the game... if it's time based it's not so bad though. |

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how do you redeem the pack you get from challenge mode? I got the pop-up, when I go to perfect team it says in my transaction history I got a pack from challenge mode, but I'm still at 0 packs. And I haven't gotten any new cards either.
Edit: Immediately after posting this I restarted OOTP and it showed up... I guess I'll just leave this comment so if anyone else has this problem they can see that restarting the game fixes it. |

I'll just say this much about packs from Challenge Mode: got an Altuve in mine today. Nice pick-up. That's probably the highest rated player I've gotten from opening a pack.

I was playing the 1986 season and during the game or after the game ended, I was awarded a silver pack

I suspect that the timer may not be set to a specific number of days, but to hours played in Challenge Mode. I have gone weeks without receiving a pack, while other times have received two packs in the same week.
If the formula was released, it may be some version of “difficulty of achievement x time played= chances of a pack being issued”. One time I received a gold pack in challenge mode, but do not know what triggered that event vs. the normal pack rewards. I’ve read posts about always playing as the 27 Yankees to accelerate that process, but I’m not going to take my personal time to play the same team the same season over and over again on the off-chance I get a valuable card I can use in PT. Since most of us were OOTP players before PT was launched, I lean towards playing OOTP the way you enjoy, and if you get a pack, consider it a bonus. I was playing as the expansion Senators this weekend in OOTP Challenge Mode, and did well enough to get a PT pack with Lorenzo Cain in it- great surprise, but not the reason why I played. |
Not hours played. It takes an achievement to get a pack, but which achievement is random. Once you get a pack, it takes a good 3 days/72 hours before you reset and are able to hit another with an achievement.

I think it is just a rumor, I have not gotten a pack this way. No matter what achievement I have gotten. I am calling BS on this.
|
Funny, I've gotten at least 16 packs, but I'm not inclined to tell you the easiest way to get a pack.

I've been playing Challenge mode for a few hours in the late evening for the last week or so and have received 2 gold packs.
It's been for very random achievements...like signing my first free agent. It's in a fictional league with the MLB setup. That being said I play challenge mode for fun...not just for the packs. So it's a nice bonus when they pop up. |
@bailey I really think you are just messing with us. Nobody gets a free pack for any reason... be honest, then I can be a part of the joke too.
