XP Cap
-
@kovz88_psn said in XP Cap:
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?
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.

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
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.

@skarmaen_psn said in XP Cap:
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.
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.

Are you made I used your own argument against you???
I'll say it again
CRY MORE!!!!

Well my question would be this.Is it a PlayStation issue and not The Shows fault entirely? I mean is the problem caused by something that the game has no control over. Before an honest bony finger is pointed let us ponder that question.

Let us show some glitter of gratitude that SOMETHING is being attempted shall we gentleman?

I was planning on playing this morning before the new inning hit. Now? I'm not playing a game until after the new inning drops. Why should I waste any of my 35k xp for the day?
If SDS is putting in a daily XP cap then where's the meter showing you how much you've earned/got left to earn for the day? Y'all love having little bars all over your UI showing us our progress on every little thing. Where's the "Daily XP" bar? I want to know when I've gotten to the point that I'm wasting my time continuing to play the game for the day.

There is more to life than XP ,ask a Madden player.Take the morning patch as a warning that a change is enevitable.Bull bull bull evitabull.

@the_dragon1912 said in XP Cap:
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. Offline players that play daily moments and a couple conquest games per day aren't hitting that cap. Online players aren't hitting it. It doesn't effect bonus XP from completing collections, player programs, showdown, RTTS archetypes. For 99% of us, we won't even notice it is there.
You're wrong. I play 6-8 hours a day. 15-20 games a day. At 3,000 XP a game I'm popped.
-
@whitejw98_psn said in XP Cap:
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.
Right. I’m not seeing an issue here. So you won’t have the boss in 2 days. I mean no one else will either.

@gradekthebard said in XP Cap:
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.
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.
650,000 inning cap / 35,000 daily limit = inning completed in 18.57 days. Let's call it 19.
Without any collections, conquest/showdown completions, double XP time frames, or any other bonuses, you can max out in 19 days. That means the remainder of the month is wasted XP anyway. Do you really care that much if the XP is wasted at the end of the month or the end of a long day when you have already earned 35K?
