XP Cap
-
The biggest issue is, for years rather it be "XP" or "Stars" they have always said "You can get stars or xp just by playing the game"
If someone just plays the game by walking their second controller 10 games 450 times, who cares? Why does it hurt SDS if someone spends 8 hours night one grinding out the bosses? You would think they would be happy because they are playing their game and no someone else. Now, instead of that person grinding 8-10 hours, they will now probably use that time enjoying someone else game. I find this to be a terrible time to issue this patch. The game is about to be dead in 2 weeks away.

Judging by the complaining here you're in either 2 camps;
Moaning cos you only play at weekends so how are you going to complete the 650k - probably fair, but you still will. At the weekend you do the collection rewards, Topps Now, new player programs, dailies, daily missions, normal missions, conquest, showdown - you can EASILY get 200k by playing only for a couple hours each day at the weekend.
Or moaning cos you rush it to try and get 1m stubs by doing the walk method. - well, tough.

While the xp cap won't affect me personally, it's still pretty bizarre/amateurish to tell your customers they can only play your game so many hours per day rather than just fixing the glitch or exploit.

At what point did SDS say you can only play their game for so long?????
That is how you are interpret what they said but in reality that's wrong. You can still play you just stop earning xp. This is not a new concept its been in this game and many other for a long time.
If you believe that XP is the only reason to play this game then you don't know this game as well as you think you do
-
Again I ask, when you finish the program you are no longer gaining XP towards anything. If you gain XP at the rate you say you would finish a program in a week. So do you not play anymore because you aren't gaining XP towards the program?
-
I have days where I play a ton too. Call me crazy but I was thinking I might wait and see how often I actually hit the daily limit before I get mad about it.

XP is not the game. If you are only playing the game for XP then maybe you are the problem. SDS rewards you for playing the game. They don’t have to. All this spilled milk theory [censored] needs to stop. Every game has exploits. And this isnt even the first time this year SDS has capped XP.
The next post a few hours after the inning program drops is always how did X amount of people already get a boss card. Here’s my thought for nerfing XP rushes. Not that it’ll stop anyone but cap the sell value of the boss cards to let’s say 150k. That’s a reasonable number.

HERETIC! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE FOR USING LOGIC AND EXPERIENCE!

For those concerned let's do some math
35k daily XP limit
350k boss pack reward.35k x 10 days = 350k
Based on this if you just earned the daily xp and no other xp rewards it would take 10 days to get to the boss pack and 18 days to get to 600k.
Seeing as the shortest program to date was 21 days that is easily obtained.
Now based on that and the amount of people complaing that they earn more then the 35k per day does that mean you are to the boss pretty quick and then hit 600k not to long after so I have to ask what happen when you hit 600k and xp means nothing??? Do you stop playing for the next 12-17 days before the next program???
There is alot of people upset about this but I don't know if they actually understand how this all works or why they are really upset
-
@kovz88_psn said in XP Cap:
The other question I have. If you are consistently hitting over 35k a day then wouldn't you have the program done in about a week. Which means you have about 3 weeks of gameplay earning no XP towards anything. So do you not play for the 3 weeks after you finish the program?
I was about to post this for the people saying “why would I play then”…. Well said

It’s not just about “rushing” the boss, it’s about when and how much people can play. Many people binge on weekends because they can’t play much during the week. Those people are screwed by this cap and will never max out the programs. Good, well run companies don’t do things that could send customers elsewhere.

Because it isn’t linear. Many people play very little during the week and a lot when they have time on weekends.

OK I can agree on the weekend point but again I stress we don't know of any other changes SDS is making to the programs. What if they add more XP rewards so yes XP for ganeplay is capped but their are more ways to earn XP via rewards to encourage this to ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME instead of exploiting it.
Give things time to play out

Count me in the camp as someone who supports the idea of a cap. I get the view that “they know the walk method so fix that” but here’s the thing. Once they fix that, the stupid people on YouTube will just find a new method. So this to me fixes current exploits but also future TBD exploits.
Listen, I play a lot and get that some days I’ll stop accruing XP. But I also get to 650 weeks before the program ends so the loss of some daily XP is kind of immaterial.
-
Look, I can agree that the ideal solution would be to fix the glitches but they've tried that a couple times and have proven incapable of fixing it for whatever reason. It's not acceptable but it is what it is at this point. They also said they would be willing to raise the cap do again I suggest anyone who reaches the cap to post screenshots on the forums, if enough people do that to get their attention I'm sure they will raise the cap.
-
The notes also mention it would be adjusted during double XP so it's not like you'll be reaching the cap in 2 hours during those days.

Same, I don't play or obsess over this game that much, but this is such a [censored] move. Studio is really lazy, they re-tread the same game year to year with minimal improvements, and dont even release a true next gen game for ps5, just a lazy port

You have a lot of faith in a company who for years now still have runners diving back to bases on 2 out line drives.

See again this comment proves that this is less about the XP Cap and your just continued hatred of SDS.
If you hate the developers and by extension the game then why keep playing? You look for every excuse to dump on them. These are real people with a job and families to support that develop a digitally coded experience of the sport of baseball. Their are going to be flaws because it's a coded AI that is reacting to other code and ultimately is a dice role. Their is no independent human mind thinking about the play or 2 plays ahead. So yes I have faith in SDS to deliver the experience of a digital baseball experience.
You expect SDS to be perfect so you can enjoy the experience so when you are done with your JOB and your FAMILY and your RESPONSIBILITIES but forgetting that the people at SDS also have all of these are are not perfect.
I really hope in your life and your profession that you are above reproach.

That’s a hell of a strawman you built there. Congratulations on being a typical internet debater.
