All bosses last year were available in the 11th inning program so of u didnt get them early in the cycle u could still earn them later.
I like the idea of expiration on inning programs, it help hold the bosses value and make the honus collection more difficult this year for people who dont start early.
I play less than 8 hours a week (about 2 hours a night, 3-5 times a week if im lucky) i have no problem getting thru programs.
Im only about 6 hours in this year and already have 150k xp even with laggy servers kicking me constantly. At this rate i should be done with a week to spare.I never liked that people who pick this game up discounted in a couple months can just catch up in a couple weeks and be equal to someone who grinded for months.
Not everything can be fair to everyone and i dont think this is going to really hold to many people back in a couple months. The only thing it makes harder is the ultimate collection but it should be really difficult and especially if u dont start early in the cycle.
Still tons of good free cards available without inning bosses so its really not much of a money grab just a way to increase value and rarity of some of these cards. Innings bosses shouldnt be a 3 hour freebie they should be difficult to earnLol. No way you got 150k xp in 6 hours without doing some type of glitch.

Some of you really need to explore UT from different games to see just how good yall have it with MLB lol
You're like some of the kids I coach who complain about how rough their lives are while getting picked up in a 2021 AMG and going home to a $1M house while their teammate takes the bus or gets a ride with me to their 1 room apartment they share with 3 siblings.

Lol. No way you got 150k xp in 6 hours without doing some type of glitch.
If i had a glitch id share the wealth lol im definitely not good enough to find an exploit. Im not counting the couple hours wasted getting kicked from server but ive had game since last Friday and had about 6 hours of gameplay count so far, finished a few collections and knocked out a bunch of moments and the 1st inning conquest, showdown and davis collection and im just below 150k. Idk if im doing anything special but it doesn't feel like it, just playing and seems to be adding up quickly for me

This thread is shaping up to be an all time classic. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

I thought not being able to play due to servers crashing was bad, I just learned that we will not be able to go back and do Conquest, Showdown, Moments, etc for 1st Inning credit once the Inning is over. I do not have time in my life to play the game all day every day, and have always counted on being able to go back and finish certain aspects of an Inning after it ended. More disappointment piles up for me and this game franchise. I would never have purchased the game had I known this. I do not recall SDS mentioning this before the game came out.
Are we sure that SDS has not become an EA affiliate? This is the kind of nonsense that has lost EA their reputation.
My only question is...why didn't they mention this BEFORE release?
bingo....becuase they knew the backlash they would get if they did. this was a surprise just like the awful RTTS theyre trying to shove down our throat
shove down throat isn't necessarily a bad thing

It’s the 1st inning of a year long program! Let’s just take a step back. What’s to say they won’t adjust the XP ratio down the road in future inning programs? For all we know, they may be using data from the MLBTS20 1st inning when a lot of people were either furloughed or working from home due to COVID and knocking out the program in a matter of days. Just have a little faith in SDS... or at least a little more faith in them than we do the servers.

In EAs defense, unless it's a rare limited challenge... the programs and rewards from programs do not expire. You can still go back and play solos from programs that came out at launch still right now on MUT. Another thing is that the servers on MUT have NEVER been as pathetic as The Show is so far this year. EA ruined their reputation from being money grabbers and making microtransactions the #1 priority in the game. MUT earned close to a billion dollars in microtransactions last year... The Show will never even come close to the popularity of Madden and FIFA, especially when they can't even figure out how to get their servers to work consistently or play a ranked game in a home stadium without unplayable lag. The Show to Madden comparison is like trying to compare a Ferrari to a Ford.

Except the gameplay for Madden and NHL has been bad for years; what’s the point of grinding rewards in a bad game?

It's not necessarily bad, but it's a cheese fest playing online... but that is just as much to blame the players. Everybody is youtubing glitches to win games. At least it's playable... was very excited to take a nice 4-5 month break from Madden to play The Show this year and it's literally worked 1 night this whole week. I have been playing Madden for a very long time and whatever baseball games have been good... I don't ever remember an EA game straight not work at all for a week straight... especially not at launch, it's just sad at this point with the Show. I'm just saying comparing SDS to EA as far as servers and revenue is Ferraris to Fords... I mean how much fun is The Show for you today?
