Quit searching for ways to earn XP and just play the game and you will have an easier time getting there. I'm at 85,000 XP myself and I haven't even played as much as I like
I’m not searching for ways. I’m playing the game.
Same here. I don't know what my XP is at, I know I am at level 7 in the program. 350,000 seems a mile away. I don't expect to get the boss in two or three days, normally it took me a couple of weeks. This year with the way the XP is I don't see myself getting to 350k in time
Maybe player programs will offer a big boost, and I know Showdown is coming. Hopefully something to help us get there.

350k in XP to get the 1st inning bosses seems too high. Exchanges this year only offer 300 xp. That can’t be right. How does 300 xp seem right when 350k is the number we have to hit.
I get some people can play this all day and don’t work. But most of us still have jobs. And we still play this a lot.
I’m not asking for anything free. I’m just saying, XP that’s given, doesn’t seem like even close to enough.
The servers are slow. It took me a long time last night just with having to sim parts of conquest. I’ve dropped so many games the last 24 hours. I’m not even trying to play online.
Also, most of us are still waiting on our stubs that were taken from canceled orders.
Most of the regulars know me on here and I wouldn’t bash SDS just to do it. I’m pretty loyal to them and I understand patience. But this weekend has been horrible to be honest.
I really hope they figure it out. But after you’re done fixing the stubs and server issues, please look into XP given. It doesn’t seem like enough at all.
I am waiting to see what happens over the next week or so when the showdown and player program drops to see what the reward is. It's hard to compare to anything as I never really focused on the XP I use to get from game play. I also think with them removing XP as a reward for things like collections something like yourself and I have become accustomed makes it look like there is alot less XP to be had.
Like I said I am taking a wait and see aporch as it's new way and come the end of the program if I'm at the 600k mark then great of I'm still pushing to the boss pack and I have done all there is to do then it may require some additional discussion on the direction the programs are heading
-
Should take a weekend to knock out for the diehards. I’m like 1/4 of the way there, it’s definitely slow this year.
-
It's not supposed to be attained easily. It's a reward! I'm sure there will be tons of content that will give easy XP. It amazes me at the early complaining already. Bunch of whiners. Play the fame already and have fun

23+ hours of game played and I have 123k xp... 113 games played ( most offline ) grinding atm to get a decent team ( no money spent )
However I haven't finished the 1st inning collection 50k xp ( 8 x 42 series card ) im at 4 right now ( sold P. Martinez and H. Aaron for stubs for Live collection ) or I would be at 6 total but the Live collection is my priority
And.. I havent finish the 1st inning conquest map
These 2 will give me 65k and maybe take another +/- 7 hours of gameplay
So quick calculation after 30 hours of gameplay I should be around 200k
Counting that I wont be able to get much after all these are completed because moments and conquest maps will be done
I will counting on playing games, daily missions ( roughly 1000 xp/day ) for xp
The 200k and over xp progress will take much longer to process....
OMG this is nonsense.
Im not complaining just stating the factsSo your about half way after a day and half but don’t think you’ll be able to finish even though you haven’t really got any of the first inning stuff done? And they actually haven’t even released most of it like showdown, the first player program and so on?
You’ll be there in like 2 days
You don’t think it says something that he’s played for 23 hours in 2 days and isn’t even half way to the 300k xp to unlock an inning boss?
No. The game is still isn’t even really out along with all the missions coming you can see in the main screen and he’s ALREADY half way to the first inning boss. What does he do after he’s there in two more days? He’ll only have 2 remaining weeks to finish the live series Diamond reward and store Diamond choice pack reward. How’s he going to grind the RS Diamond reward Event Diamond reward and BR Diamond reward.
There is almost to many rewards to earn this year and people are wondering where rewards are. That’s what says a lot. In a month when the second and third inning are continually filled with new and shiny diamonds nobody will care about the bronze and silver choice packs at the Gold 85 XP reward spot lmfao

I'm at 150k xp right now, but I played 10 hours a day from Friday. I will never be able to play so much for the rest of the year.
I hope 1st Inning showdown and programms will give us big boost toward bosses, but I don't believe that so much. Conquest was cut in half, daily missions xp rewards are totally ridiculous, so my hopes are not very high -
Also with the servers being a mess, we haven’t been able to really grind this game right anyway.
Going to need to extend this window.
-
I was thinking about xp amounts rewarded a lot and I think, SDS needs to do something about this issue. Because now only players who will be able to get bosses are 10+ hours a day grinders
-
You got 20 days to do it. They probably just want people to space it out. Its not meant to be grinded in a weekend. Ive been playing since Friday and even with all the disconnects, I'm at 175K...and i have a life, a job, etc. At the rate Im gaining, i'll have 350K by Thursday and I'll have the program done by the end of next week.
-
You get loads of XP in Conquest. 3 inning games, pretty easy to win and you get 1500+ XP each game and a good chunk of stubs. I've already got over 125K XP just from Conquest alone.

I'm nowhere near saying I need to do it on first weekend. In my previous post I said I'm at 150k right now. But it's just because I played 30 hours in 3 days... If you have job, family and some other things in your life, you can't play so much everyday. My normal playing time is about 2-4 hours max and I'm not playing everyday
@Born2beWild007_PSN : Yes, you get 1500 xp for 3 inning game. But if you do some math, you need 233 three inning games for 350k. That's 11 games per day. And if we say each game is taking 20 minutes, you are still at 4 hours playing everyday...
I think it't too much and last year was a lot more friendly to normal players with families, jobs and so on.
And here you can't say it's time or money, because you can't buy xp (which I would never do) -
Totally agree with you @allmustfall16. Good thread.
-
Do an 8-player user-controlled HRD using the triangle button to fast forward the fly balls. I don't remember exactly how much XP I got but it's definitely over 3K.
-
I was a bit frustrated by the xp situation, but now I’m actually more annoyed by the, shut up it’s fine, low iq posts, as it’s not subjective...it’s been objectively proven in this post that it is an insane grind comparative to innings programs the past couple years.
Speaking for myself, I’ve played about 10 hours and am barely over 10% toward the boss. Sure, I should finish the conquest today, but 15k barely makes a dent.
Yes, they will release more content, but comparative to past years, the extra content was steadily released that made it so virtually anyone who plays the game a few times a week could feel like they can finish the program, within the current structure it feels like you’ll need those extra opportunities to reach it if you’re the type of person that plays a few hours a day. That’s a vast difference.
The one thing I would say though is I would not expect this to continue, SDS’ goal is to make anyone feel like they can reach the goal and they are continually making progress. It does no good for them if players get frustrated and casual players view the innings rewards as unobtainable, so I can’t fathom this was done by design. So either they throttled XP during the pre-release phase, or they entirely miscalculated and we’ll see increases to daily mission, moments, conquest etc in the near future,

I'm leaning towards the idea that they are going to have to adjust the XP gain. I don't disagree that we should wait and see how much XP player programs & Showdown will give us. But based on stuff we have already seen that has been nerfed into the ground (daily moments which are a joke & Conquest dropping from roughly 10% of what is needed to 4%) I'm not expecting big XP rewards from player programs or Showdown. Not to mention Showdown isn't even dropping until the 23rd which will be 2 weeks from when 1st inning completes. The other thing I haven't seen anyone mention is 1st inning is usually the longest inning of the year except the final one that runs basically indefinitely. I have no idea how someone who will be starting the 20th will be able to complete the 1st inning without using some sort of XP glitch.
-
They will probably monitor the first inning to see what percentage of people make it to the bosses. The game says I have been playing 36 hours, which I honestly I do not believe as I have not been playing 12 hours a day for the last three days. I do leave the game open in the menus a lot.
I am at 125,000 XP, but I will play the game more this month than any other month of the year. If I can't get to the bosses this month then I never will. And if I feel like getting to the bosses is impossible then I simply will end up playing less and less

As I mentioned previously, If their goal is to control the pace/rate at which people can earn rewards then capping the XP per day makes the most logical sense rather than nerfing the amount of XP you can gain aging various modes.

How would capping it solve anything? Some people may have 6 hours to play over the weekend but no time during the week. They'd basically be telling people "Screw you if you have less time to play during the week".

Thing is I believe there's already an XP cap in place. So despite that cap they imo nerfed or underestimated how much XP should be able to be gained from modes in the game.
