    The reason you can purchase the bosses is for casual players. If you think playing 1 hour a day should get you the top cards for free thats just ridiculous

    Just finished the stronghold game and won 5-0...shows I earned 5520XP which I admit is strange

    idk specifically how XP is earned but you all complaining about not making enough XP is simply ridiculous

    Edit: considering that the map was finished by beating the stronghold last, that XP total above may have included the XP for completing the last few missions within the conquest program...just a thought

    It isn’t ridiculous because not everyone is getting those levels of XP. I think that is the issue here. I get between 1-2 k xp for a conquest game regardless of how many runs scored or strikeouts.

    That’s not the issues here, that’s not even the subject of this post

    Even if you’re making 1-2k for conquest games, playing that and playing online modes will easily get you to 350k by end of program

    That’s the point here...OP thinks people won’t have enough time to get enough xp to get a boss, and that’s simply not true unless it’s a personal problem

    Define easily? Do you mean 2 hours a night every night? That is closing in in 60 hours of play and a lot of people wouldn’t call that easily.

    Assuming you’ve completed the program missions, player programs, conquests, and showdown, after completing those....if you play 2 RS games a night, I’m sure you’d hit 350k easily

    If you’re an offline player, you could grind through the USA conquest map, showdowns, moments etc and that should still net you enough XP after completing the other listed things above

    I am a big advocate of making programs like these inning programs completable by the average player so they too can have access to great cards for free. I think 350k shouldn’t be an issue now with smoother servers. I hope you make it!

    Oh I’ll make it. I’m already at 175k but that is with over 4 hours a day but I do think the time needed to just get to 350k starts going outside of casual. TWo RS games a night is almost two hours then start throwing in moments and conquests you are absolutely looking at 60 hours to complete the program.

    I don't think casuals (based on your definition of casual) should get the bosses. Henchman feel like the perfect reward for someone that does not play the game that much. Bosses are for more dedicated players and the bundles and live series rewards are for the maniacs.

    I think people’s definitions of casual players is pretty skewed. To me putting in 60 hours over a 28 day program isn’t really casual.

    What would you consider casual then? 60 hours over 28 days is roughly 2 hours a day (56 hours) with an additional 1 each weekend... that's pretty casual. I probably fall into that category.

    lol, that isn't casual at all. 2 hours a day is a lot of time, that's like dedicated play. Imagine you only get 4 hours of free time a day and spend 1/2 of that on video games... that's not casual.
    Casual is playing an hour or 2 a WEEK!

    Sure, but if you play an hour or two a week you probably shouldn't be getting the inning bosses lmao

    As I said, gatekeeping.

    And there is a big difference between 1-2 hours a week and 14 hours a week.

    Gatekeeping what? You can get the bosses with 14 hours a week when XP tracks correctly. If you want all the rewards with 2 hours of play a week I'm sorry man that's just not how video games work anymore

    Two hours a day is a TON of play. It isn’t casual and it isn’t easy. You’re gatekeeping 100%.

    I don't know what else to tell you man. Multiplayer games expect 2 hours a day at the minimum to get all the rewards. It's an industry standard these days. You couldn't get the program bosses on any less than two hours a day last year either. Sure those didn't expire, but you absolutely needed to do the collection to finish the program after the fact, which was always more expensive that buying the boss you wanted outright. Two hours per day of gaming hasn't been considered a lot for about 5 years now. In terms of this game, two hours a day has always been considered casual IMO. This game is not for you if you want the best rewards playing only a couple of hours a week. Doesn't matter if you have a wife and kids, a life, a job, or whatever. If you can't find 2 hours out of the day for this game then you shouldn't care about getting the rewards

    I have a wife and 3 kids, and a full time job, spend over2 hours driving to and from work. I get 2-4 hours a night, I get 6-8 on Sat and Sun if nothing is going on. I made to 650k in first inning. i currently around 170k in inning 2. I played like 30min Tuesday night cause my son had a baseball game and I coach his team. I am a busy dad and husband. Time management and it helps that my wife does not care that I play. I try to make the most out of the time I do have. I am on paste to hit 500-550k, I know another player program is coming soon, i have not and probably will not do the Collection for inning one bosses. I do believe we get good XP for leveling up players that is the only way I figured I got 8k XP vs CPU on AS last night. Time to play a little more attention to that, I might start leveling up players more often. Time Management on what you do in the game. I plan on getting to the 650k again. Not sure how we are moving at toward the end of this inning that will cut into my play time. If you do not have the time then do not expect the rewards. If you are not doing collections and other things that get you XP besides playing the game then do not expect the rewards. To many ways to get XP in this game anyone who playes 2 hours a day should be able to get to the bosses. Do the two Offline dailies, do the missions and collections that have extra XP. If you are not doing these things and just playing RS, BR, or Events with your 2 hours a night. That might not cut it to get enough XP.

    “Look at how great I am!”

    That is what you took from that. You just making excuses for yourself. How great I am with Time management to reach the goals I want in this game. Yep I figured out the best way I can get to my goal which is 650k. I am not over here complaining or worried about the XP. i am stating how easy it should be by the time the inning is over you should get to the bosses. Who cares how fast others get to them or how much XP other people get. We still have 21 days left to get to what ever goal you are trying to reach. Stop making excuses and just find what gets you the most xp and if you rather play RS which will not get you to the bosses then that is bad use of time on you if the bosses are your goal. If you goal is to get the WS rewards but you do not have the time to play enough to get both . Well that is on you.

    Tell you one thing, with all the content in the game, you aren’t accomplishing much with 2 hours a day. You aren’t completing all events/BR program/RS program. Gotta decide how you spend your time when you have it

    @locutusofburg stop playing the market and play the game instead. Seems to me you’re the only one complaining about XP daily

    Seriously though, program has been out 6 days and I’m at 280K. I played a grand total of 0 hours Saturday and Sunday. I mean its easily done.

    If you were mentioning 650K, I could respect that. Saying you’ll have a hard time reaching 350K? That’s pathetic

    It’s either time or money. Not just what you want.

    Spend the time to get the bosses.. or pay the stubs to get the collection done to advance far enough.

    Maybe just wait til the end of the program and see what else they add first? Still have more player programs and such to be added.

    I can't believe that this thread is still alive. It's a bunch of name calling on two sides of a debate.

    Side 1- XP isn't fast enough for MY playstyle X

    Side 2- XP is more than adequate for MY playstyle Y

    Both sides just saying that the other is wrong.

    Nobody is going to win here. Both sides are dug into their trenches. Everybody should just go play and stop trying to [censored] on each other.

    Well you just made my point right there buddy. We all do what we want with our free time. If you don’t want yo play 2-3 hours a night, that’s perfectly fine. But to expect some sort of handout because you choose to be casual is beyond ridiculous

    No one is going to win the argument, but the xp matter is already settled. SDS isn't just going to give away the bosses, no matter what some want. They may think it's too much, but a hour a day isn't going to cut it in dd. It's quite possible dd just isn't for them. Fortunately they have rtts and franchise, or a good old vs cpu game.

    Have you played literally any other game recently? COD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket league, and 2k all have the exact same business model. Hell so does fall guys. Almost every online game has the "battlepass" style content model. SDS will be just fine

    I would actually argue that catering to the people who only play an hour a night if that would be the worse business model. The hard-core fans will always buy it and the people who only play that much aren't really putting money in so they are really trying to target the in-between group. The people who will reach 350k but not 650k from playing so they might buy stubs to finish collections.

    Ball player RTTS glitch.... that’s where it’s at. You rack up so much XP moving your guy from bronze to silver to gold to diamond. Bonus is you get a great hitter to use in diamond dynasty.
