I don't grind immortals.  Just don't have the time or will to play 100's of hours vs. the CPU on Rookie.   I don't play RS though.  Only events.  I hope next year they make the best cards harder to obtain and more rare.  Although then half the people on here would complain that they can't easily get every card.

Last year there were three cards that were magnitudes more rare than immortals: HW Bagwell, HW Harper, and Tiant. You could only get them by winning BR (and getting lucky) or events, or getting in line to drop 500k (last year’s price cap).

This year I haven’t faced a lineup since July that didn’t have at least one immortal. I’d hardly call that “rare”.

Actually, I’m happy I did the grind for immortals. It was nice getting sweet cards and part of the fun for me has been completing multiple challenges. The only immortals I won’t get are Kershaw and Sandberg (not good enough to make WS), Musial (didn’t play much online early on), and Ruth (haven’t been interested in that pitcher grind). I’m one diamond away from Vlad, one exchange away from Gibson and 20 event wins from Ted.

 

Position player immortals were nothing to grind if you had the game all year.  It didnt take long after we could actually get to them to actually get them because everything was pretty much done except for the newest career arcs.  Now the pitchers are a grind.  That is why I dont have any of the original Immortal pitchers.  Only the easy ones like Feller, Kershaw and Eckersley.

I finally unlocked AS Ken Griffey Jr now that I have completed Duke Snider's epic... put a decent dent in the stats for Griffey using his IV off and on so confident that I can blow through Griffey Immortal program if I keep up my rate of play or even increase it... then its just a matter of doing these exchanges... also finally looks like I'm going to finish my 5th Team Epic so Jackie Robinson stands an excellent chance of getting added to my team soon and then I can use all of the Jerseys or Hats for the Dodgers depending on which one I can't get 100% with for Jackie... most likely will do the Jerseys for Jackie and use the Dodgers hats for Piazza.

i dont grind for all the immortals and i still have an awesome team and made cs with it last month
