Baseball 9 allows you to recruit virtual baseball players to build your team. Recruit cards are what you use to sign new players. There are a few different ways to earn recruit cards as you play Baseball 9:
Daily Bonus – Every 24 hours you will receive a daily bonus which often includes recruit cards. Check the main menu each day to claim your bonus. The number of recruit cards you get as part of the daily bonus ranges from 1-5 depending on your team strength and other factors. Make sure to log in each day to build up your card collection over time.
Level Rewards – As you level up your team by playing games, you will reach new team levels which reward you with recruit cards. Level up bonuses range from 3-10 cards typically. Higher levels require more experience points to reach, but provide better card rewards. Try to play games regularly to level up as fast as possible.
Events – Special in-game events like tournaments, rival challenges, and ballplayer missions will sometimes reward you with recruit cards for participating or achieving certain objectives. Keep an eye out for any active events in the game and take part to earn some extra cards.
Shop Purchases – You can purchase recruit card bundles directly from the in-game shop using gems, Baseball 9’s premium currency. Card bundle sizes and gem prices vary, but this is usually the fastest way to get new cards if you don’t mind spending real money. Only opt for shop purchases if you have extra gems to spare.
Scouting – After reaching team level 10, you unlock the ability to send scouts to farm systems to search for potential draft picks. Sending scouts costs scout points, which recharge slowly over time. Successful scouting missions will return recruit cards along with other scouting intel to aid in player evaluations. Manage your scouting wisely, focusing on higher level farm systems for better recruit card drop rates.
League Rewards – For taking part in online leagues against other human players, you can earn league reward packages containing recruit cards and other bonuses just for participating regularly in league play. Leagues provide a good low-effort way to steadily build your card collection over weeks or months.
Player Retirement – As your signed players age and eventually retire from your MLB roster, you have a chance to receive their player card again upon retirement. Recycled player cards let you try signing that player a second time, or use the card elsewhere if they no longer fit your needs. Manage your roster to maximize recycled card opportunities over time.
Trades – You can initiate trades with the in-game AI or other human players (in online modes) by offering player cards and other assets in hopes of getting recruit cards or desirable major leaguers in return. Check your trade block frequently and be willing to negotiate creative multi-asset deals capable of landing valuable recruits.
Career Mode Rewards – Progressing through the multi-year career mode challenges by achieving statistical milestones, winning championships, and taking on Sim Challenges can unlock recruit card rewards for completing certain career objectives. Dedicate time to progress your player career manager for these persistent long-term rewards.
Keep active with daily bonuses, leveling up, events, league play, scouting, trades and career milestones to steadily add to your recruit card collection. Shop bundles and focus recruiting efforts on higher quality farm systems for optimal results. Manage assets wisely and be patient – over time your card stack will grow allowing you to sign better prospects and build a powerful Baseball 9 roster!
