Your problem is you are playing on rookie. You get less xp for lower difficulties. By prioritizing xp he means stacking things like daily missions/cap +monthly missions or TA missions you don't have done. Level up your CAP, the end of each path gives you a good chunk of XP. Stop making posts on the forum complaining and play and you will get there, if you don't then buy the boss you want.I don’t do CAP, which is my own fault but I find it boring and cheesy.
As far as rookie bs cpu....I’m not good enough to play on say all star and make it worth it.

Dedicated users should hit 350k without an issue.
Hardcore users (or exploiters) will easily hit 650 in a week or less.
Average users will still get to 350k, but it might take longer than 2-3 weeks.
Breaking News... SDS releases content each inning that pushes the average user to 350k before the Inning is over.
People should spend less time complaining and contemplating negative outcomes. Take time away from the boards and go play the game for a week after content drop, then come back.
TBH- All I see is people complaining for the sake of complaining, because attempting to create conflict where none exists, is all you know.
I was at 70-80 hours in the first inning, and without double xp and the 100k at the end I would have been borderline to even get 350k.
You obviously don’t know how to prioritize your time to get XP
Since the 2nd inning program started, I’ve put maybe 10-15 hours into it and I’m at 150k
You complain every time you post, maybe if you focused that time towards the game you’d be further into the program
Please tell me how to “prioritize” how I play the game? Do you mean loading zero rated rosters and playing offline or doing the walk boosting?
I keep seeing these numbers, and I’m really beyond confused how to do it outside of boosting as even me playing the cpu on rookie and hitting 8 hr’s gets me 5k or so a game.
I got the majority of mine last inning from Conquest and Showdowns. I played a lot of Showdown. I didn't do the prospect collection or the 42 collection. I didnt mess with dailies until they changed the XP, and still I only did some exchanges. I didnt play online, so no missions or dailies. I ended having the 650XP on the day before the 2nd inning dropped with like 50 hours of gameplay.

Then you will probably need to buy the boss. I'm not trying to be an [censored] but they can't cater to everyone who isn't good at the game. Keep practicing and when you get better you will be able to rack up xp faster and unlock these things on your own -

I’m not even bad...I generally cap around 750 in RS, but I’m certainly not a god like some people. Most people’s experience will be much closer to mine than a WS player so making it a 60+ hour grind just for the bosses is a terrible strategy by SDs.
I Just really think this rewards path without double xp is a pretty awful grind for most players. I don’t expect to hit 650k but people should not struggle to

@locutusofburg
If you can reach that level in RS then you should be able to beat the CPU on all star. From you saying you have to play on rookie it sounded like you were someone who wouldn't play online -

And I can beat the CPU on all star. It will just be like 5-1 and in the end better to win 15-1 on rookie xp wise.

Also in what way am I "gatekeeping"?
If you are playing against the cpu on the lowest difficulty then you shouldn't get the highest rewards unless you put in a lot of time. It's OK if you disagree but that is my opinion. You should get the same rewards as someone who busted their [censored] without having to grind for a long time If you are gonna take an easy route. It's like the showdown vs MTO route last year. Risk vs reward -

Anyone that tells someone to “practice” a video game is an [censored]. I used to practice my trombone because it was a real life tangible skill, I don’t practice this.

@locutusofburg
Take what you're saying to anything else.
At jobs you don't get raises if you never get better just for putting in a number of hours.
Guys who suck don't get called up to the majors for a.number of innings.
There are ways for you to get the boss aside from the xp path, stop being a baby and play the game. Everything you do on here is whine about literally everything. Enjoy being a child who wants everything handed to him. -

You need to one, take the game less seriously, and two stop telling everyone else they need to be pros like you to get the BASELINE rewards. I bet you agreed with EA when they hid characters behind a 40 hour playtime unlock because people should spend tons of time practicing a game.

@locutusofburg
a COMPETETIVE video game.
You know what, let's get rid of collections, give every player Chipper Jones and every other card to start the year. Waaaaaaah -

1 big inning can get you 1k in XP.
Not even a big inning really. 1 HR with a guy on base basically does. I think I'm getting like 400 or so an inning pitching wise if I have a clean inning or a couple Ks.
-
@locutusofburg
Here's the thing, I'm NOT that good and I still reach 650k because I play the game instead of crying about everything like a baby. I'm gonna guess you don't have a job but if you do try going to work 2 hours a day then tell your boss you want to get paid like the people who worked 40 hours and see what they say. -

That was with double xp...you’d get 450 striking out the side.

Added to my block list. You’re a gatekeeping troll.

I'm honest and you don't like it, enjoy being a child.

The rewards aren't there to be a participation trophy. They're there to be earned through playing the game or spending the stubs to get them. They're not hiding these guys behind unattainable things like throw 5 perfect games online in a 2 week span or something like that. They put them in a program to reward people who 1) put the time in to grind 2) are very good at the game and get a lot of XP because of their skill 3) people that want to spend money for a favorite player even if they don't have the time.
The point of making it this way is that not everyone has the same teams, not everyone has the best cards, and not everyone earns that reward. Just because a boss is in a program does not mean you're entitled to them. Hell they could've done things like EA does in HUT and make it to where every 2 weeks there's new master set cards out that you have to spend a truckload of gold collectibles on to get meaning you have to either play non-stop to get the coins for the collectibles or you have to dish out a ton of cash to make cards to trade in for them. Instead SDS says hey if you play the game a lot then here you go or if not you can always get this guy later in the market.
Stop acting like you're owed something just because you spent $60-$100 to buy the game and actually work to earn it or pay to get it. Everything in life is going to cost either time or money or both and just because it's a video game doesn't mean it's exempt from that.

I don't believe that is true, at least vs the cpu. Got a definitive statement to that affect somewhere?

@Dolenz_PSN
It has been like that in years past so I'm assuming it's the same this year. It definitely is for Pxp because if you look at the finish game screen it says all star 1.2X etc.
