XP Cap
-
Global pandemic. Let's tell our customers that we don't know how to fix our exploits and let's penalize legitimate people that might want to spend one day a month playing for 9 hours.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen a game company do in my 48 years of life as a "fix" for poorly designed experience gain.
SDS is now saying that "we don't know how to code XP properly, is we're going to cap it".
I have so much to say here.
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF LAZY CODING.
My goodness, what a bad look.
A handful of people EXPLOIT your game, so instead of fixing the exploiting, let's screw people that might want to grind a few days a month.
A few years ago, there was an XP bug that limited the amount of weekly XP you got. I remember hitting it during a week of playing a bunch. Filed a report, came here to diagnose the issue and sure enough, the entire community was hit by it for 3 weeks.
This is going to be great seeing posts all day about XP not registering for someone that bangs out a conquest map and 2 showdowns in 6 hours and no longer get XP.
Don't even get me started on kids reporting griefing for not knowing how to lay off pitches out of the zone.

I showed you the math in another thread (and made a post showing the math) that you chose to ignore. It takes only 4-6 hours of play to hit the cap. On weekdays, sure very few will hit the cap. But many people like to or can only play on weekends and those caps will be easily hit on Saturday/Sunday.
Your math was faulty, as I showed and you ignored.
From your obsession on this topic, I can only deduce that you are one of the exploiters who used the glitches in order to complete the program in a day or so and now your bluff got called.
Sorry they took away your advantage.

There's Videos showing you how to glitch the XP. Watch them and fix your game. It ain't hard people..
Stop letting interns code your game.

35k per day adds up to a little more than a million in a month. Even if all you did was play games without completing any content, you would still hit 650k well before the program ends. People who were grinding obsessively to finish early under the old system will still finish early under the new one. I’m not seeing a problem.

Anyone who is trying to justify that the number is to low what evidence do you have?????
Cause here is the thing SDS has the numbers ALL the numbers they likely have data points to show what the averages of xp that are earned per day by players. The data to show the average xp earned per day of the week. SDS have hard physical evidence, you only have a tin foil hat and some paper towel and crayons to write down your "evidence"

Sorry, all you showed was that your reading comprehension was faulty.
Let me be clear, pre-double xp you can earn 1700xp a RTTS game as a pitcher or 1500+Xp a game in conquest. THOSE ARE WITHOUT DOUBLE XP. That equates to 4 hours to hit the cap in RTTS or 6 in DD.
I have never exploited xp, but I do like to play a lot on weekends when the wife and kid are at dance practice. I think you just need a 3rd grade math refresher.

USA conquest map. You can't do it in 24 hours anymore.
There's your math.
Feel free to look at my profile as well. I've logged under 3 hours of RTTS this year, and I don't glitch. I also don't use exploits out of principle

Cry more that's not math you have no numbers to support your position beyond that. You have not presented any data points beyond that

Complain about the XP cap all you want. Anybody that is playing a reasonable amount of hours or online at all isn't hitting that daily cap. Just people that grind the USA conquest over and over and literally don't do anything else.
Feel like this is almost targeted at me lately lol. But I havent been doing it for XP, been for stubs, and parallels. Each 5 strong holds is literally 30-40k in stubs right now. Minus the west teams for a little while because they just gave out those prospect packs on the shark map.
Been an extra 80-100k stubs each night I grind the USA map 4-5 hours.

So, you quickly get proven wrong and you turn into a 2 year old. Heck, I made a thread showing just how little time it takes to hit these caps (4-6 hours of play). This is another SDS muck up because they have 3rd rate programmers who can’t actually fix the real problems (ie the exploits).

How about they actually fix it right or are you going to defend how they're implementing a fix to their lack of coding skills?
Cry more? I expect better from you dude. We're not TSN rookies here.

You KNOW this is an issue, when the Bard and I can agree on something so quickly.

I'm much more concerned about this than any XP cap. Pitch well and be investigated/suspended/or what?

They've created a mechanic that will flood their reporting system with 95% illegitimate data.

I'm not even trying to take shots at anyone either. If someone only has time to play on weekends then grinding out conquest games as fast as you can for 6 hours just for XP isn't the way to get there. Last inning there was 250k XP from everything in the collection section besides collecting Murray, Franco, and Mathewson. Anyone upset at this cap completes the inning 2 weeks before it ends and doesn't have anything to do for 2 weeks.

When there was double XP a couple of weeks ago I played for a full day/night to take advantage thinking they weren’t going to bring it back until the next program. This was all games on rookie against the computer and I ended up with over 100,000. No glitching or anything like that, I’m really not a fan of this cap thing
So going literally all day and all night earned you 50K XP. So you have to play almost non-stop in order to hit the cap.
You ... kinda just validated their number.
It was probably around 140,000. Wouldn’t really have an issue if they bumped it to like 70k or did away with it

If I only play MLB during my free time gaming, I usually get the boss between day 10-14. I then usually play something more casual or actually don't even touch the console for a week.
I then come back 7 days before the inning is over and do the collections, showdown, additional conquests. Sometimes I hit 650, sometimes I don't.
Folks are missing the issue.
SDS knows what the EXPLOIT is. They don't know how to fix it. They know there's methods. They don't know how to fix them. People gave them everything to show them how to do them. They don't know how to fix it.
What's the solution? Cap XP. Don't penalize the bad guys. Let's alienate the good guys.
They are really just idiots at this point.
And I'm not crying because I am one of the guys that got a boss opening weekend from XP.

Exactly. The xp cap is a non-issue for the far majority of players. Grief reporting is going to be one of SDS' worse ideas ever. People are going to start getting banned just for being good at the game. While it is clearly meant for bunt cheesers/dancers, pause absusers, and people that generally make the game unenjoyable, instead of dashboarding when you hit a homerun these sore losers will just grief report you instead.

He didn't prove anything there is no hard evidence presented to me that does or doesn't justify this number.
No one on this forum will have that evidence the only evidence is the data SDS has and guess what SDS is a private company so the do not have to disclose their proprietary information. So in reality all that is happening on here is a bunch of crying over a change that is an hour old and no one really knows ow it's going to impact the game.
Let's come back here 2 weeks from now and all the regulars in here are jumping for joy because the boss cards actually netting a solid profit for the players who play this game on a regular basis and not get shaffed from the stupid YouTube community that has been ruining this game all year with their exploiting of the system.
Instead of flying off the handled how about saying let's see how this plays out and what positives come from it. Alot of people in here are unable to adapt to change and it's very evident

I agree they could have just fixed the exploit, but my main point is that they have always had XP caps until this year, and if I recall it was somewhere around 35k XP anyway. If they didn't mention it in the parch notes barely anyone would even notice
