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?
Once again, it’s not linear. It’s not that you hit the cap every day it’s that for many players we get a day or 2 a week we can play a lot and other days very little. It’s a very amateurish fix to an exploit that could have been more easily addressed.

What a relief. Thought I was spending too much time on this game.

I usually only have time to play on the weekends (mostly offline), so I decided to do some math and see if this change really puts me at a disadvantage like some are claiming. For the sake of argument, let's assume 100% of my playing time is exclusively on weekends and I hit the cap every time.
Total XP earned: 70k per weekend x 4 weekends in a month = 280k.
These double xp weeks seem to be a regular thing now and the update specifically says that the cap will be raised to account for them, so let's assume they double the cap for a week and add another 70k to my total.
280k + 70k = 350k. From playing games alone, that puts me right at the boss pack. I'm already seeing their logic in choosing 35k as the cap number but now let's factor in the current inning's content.
Showdown: 35k + Conquests: 50k + Collections: 300k + Offline Daily Moments: roughly 2k per day or 16k for the month = about 401k
401k + 350k = 761k which is well over the required 650k, and that's without even touching the online content. It also doesn't factor in any of the smaller xp rewards that are frequently given for conquest map goals, individual moments etc.
Again, even for casual players I'm not seeing a problem.

This right here is what's called evidence!!!
This is what's called hard facts!!!

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.
People really don't understand what they are saying.
I'm sorry but if you are getting 35K xp through GAMEPLAY then you need to put the controller down, go outside, read a book, spend time with friends and/or family because that is a LOT of gameplay (esp this far into the game cycle).
That's not your place to say to people. People choose to spend their free time how they will. This cap is legit easy to hit for someone who enjoys the grind. I personally enjoy it and finish without glitches within 2 weeks (650k).

Okay… am I missing something here?!?!
Due to people glitching the game, SDS has decided to place an XP cap on all players rather than fix the glitch?
I am hoping when they say “through gameplay”, the XP cap doesn’t include collections. But even still, I grind over 35k XP a day when new innings come out. Now I will be playing much less.
How does SDS not see that making a decision like this only causes it’s player base to play the game less or even quit playing the game altogether. Whoever made this ludicrous decision needs to be fired immediately.
Fix the glitches!!
What glitch?

I've never hit the 650k inning cap on XP this year, but at least once an inning (usually more) I'll spend a full free day playing pretty much all day and will earn a good 50k or so from just game xp. While it's unlikely (for me) on a day in/day out basis, it isn't even remotely unlikely or impossible to bang out 10+ games in the span of a day if I have the time and just feel like playing a bunch of baseball.
This punishes those that don't have unlimited free time and have to binge play when they can just as much, if not more, than it does those SDS is trying to combat who are cheesing the system. That is my issue with it. The imbeciles cheesing xp will still do it, they'll just have to wait a bit longer now, and the people that haven't done anything wrong inadvertently get screwed if/when they play too much on a given day. It's a small percentage of players, I'm not pretending it isn't, but it's an un-fair slap to them while simply delaying the xp exploiters.

This is my perspective too. Take it as a way to save us from ourselves and do other things or maybe you know just play the game to have fun
-
Fun? Now theres a new idea LMAO I hear ya Wagon
-
be prepared moving forward we will only get XP doing moments, challenges, missions etc..... and by not simply playing the game.
-
This is all due to some “walk glitch”… I dont know exactly what it is but somehow they get XP super fast somehow.

I mean I enjoy playing the game online and offline and doing player programs and conquests. I expect to complete it within the time frame just because I like to play. But I dont need to complete it in 3-4 days lol
-
One problem I do see with this, for some people is if you get behind XP wise it is going to be really tough to make it up. I know it would get confusing on their end but I think a better solution would be capping the first 20 or so days of the inning at 35XP let's say but not the last 10 or so. So people can catch up/grind to complete towards the end of the inning.
-
I to give it little thought Im extra innings mode player because I loathe cheese.On occasion i venture into the twilight zone to check on the unstate of things and do enjoy the rare game against the almost exstinct baseball player. Im simply encouraged that any problem is acknowledged as existing for a change. Any attempt is far better than no attempt. At least that is what i tell myself when I look at my online record.

Cant expect SDS to fully implement nothing agains these brats. Would kill off 97 % of its game base.

You sir have used logic, reason, and have provided evidence to support your theory/prove your claim.
my advice: take your family and run, the witchhunters will be coming and youll be dragged out and beaten to death by an angry mob that hates the truth. -

It's not just that one. RTTS exploits as well playing games against the cpu with a 99 pitcher against a 0 OVR team

Just shows that there are glitches that need resolved/fixed by developers. Capping XP is not a fix… it is a patch that is covering coding problems. People can spin or twist this any way they want but everyone knows this patch looks like they’re just covering up rhe problem in late August because they can’t actually fix it. It is not a solution.
