Collection Missions
 

Hi,

I’m fairly new to the franchise. When do collection missions start populating under the “missions” tab. As a new player, I heard this was the best way to get a competitive team. Instead of spending money on just straight packs.

I’d like to be as competitive as possible with spending the least amount of money. I know that will be hard to do, but any tips would help.

Thank you!

Missions are obviously a good way to get good cards or good packs. But you still have to buy the cards to complete the missions. Personally I like to just purchase $20 worth of points to get started, hand select a good roster, sell off the other cards I am not using and improve my roster with the points I earn by just playing the game. But there are many ways to play the game, that's why it is fun...

Thanks, Rob! That makes sense. I might start out like that as well. With a small amount of money and then work my way up.

Yah, if you are willing to splurge $100 I recommend packs for the missions, otherwise spending a bit as described and setting up a decent team and just playing them is a good plan. With the new chemistry factor this is an even better option I suspect.

Cracking Standard packs is, in general, the way to go but starting out there is so much RNG on if you get good pulls it can bite you. You might open 100 packs and hit the jackpot or you could get a lot of meh. I usually have had bad luck in the past but was lucky this time for once.

If you just play everyday, you will get packs. You don't need to spend anything extras as long as you aren't worried about moving up in the league ranks.

Rule of thumb is to always win or earn packs. Never buy them. Win packs in tournament or Perfect Draft play. Earn packs by logging in each day, completing missions, and getting Twitch drops for watching OOTP streams. There are plenty of affiliate streamers morning, noon, and night, and that will get you five packs per day. The official channel is worth another five packs, although you'll have to check the schedule since it's generally only once per day.
