Pxp mission in POTM cut in half
-
“THEY NEVER LISTEN!!!”

That's a good thing.

500 takes too long for a POTM program
-
While I am still not a fan of the new programs this is a step in the right direction. I will probably never earn those last 4 cards from April after getting Rizzo.
The part of the program I don't like is that I spent so much time this past month playing guys in my lineup that I didn't really care about for far too long. When you add that to the fact that they drip feed you the cards it just becomes to much.

I don’t like leveling up cards that I’m not wanting to use. There has to be a better way. It’s way to grindy and I play too much

A very very very good thing- that Rizzo grind was so long and tedious dear god and I hate playing the game on “rookie” it’s mind numbing and then going back to HOF having to readjust
Glad they cut it in half

It's either play with the cards for PXP or require stats that are easily exploitable via hit and quit against the rockies. There is no other way, and I prefer the PXP missions myself

The April POTM program took way too long. I must have scrolled up and down each stage’s list of missions 10 times because I kept thinking “I have to be missing something… no way it’s meant to take this long…”
Glad they are doing a bit of course-correcting, and this could be a big step in the right direction. I don’t like what they’ve done with the content schedule and programs this year, but a few tweaks to the POTM program and it could be a legit upgrade over previous years.
i still really miss the traditional 3-boss innings, though. There was always a lot of hype and fun speculation about the bosses. Now it’s just, like, whatever.
SDS just can’t seem to put it all together… I think hitting is better than it’s been in years, but defense and the content took steps backward. One year we’ll have the hitting of 17, the content of 19, and the pitching of… whenever the last time pitching was good.

Trust me they did not make this change just because people complained. I am pretty sure they know how many people completed April's POTM program and how long it took them to do so. If those numbers were within acceptable limits for them then they would not have made any changes.

“Underperforming” at a video game. The nerve!! We should just execute every last one of them!!!

Stop being dramatic. PotM don’t have a time limit. There is no reason to make them easier when you can complete the PXP grind on any difficulty.

I’ll stop being dramatic if you stop using words incorrectly.

Na I’m good. Miss me with your contempt. It was an apt use of the word underperform.

etc100% agree….Just played a cpu versus Rockies….used the first three POTM and the rest Topps Now. Won 23-1 and got more than the 500 pxp with Perez, but only had 600 pxp with Topps Now and about 100 with the other two POTM. A lot of people will say it is better but I much more prefer the old stat missions. I think pxp could work but pxp just takes way too long with position players…I am saying that about pxp in general not just POTM.
-
250 isn’t bad. That’s basically like 2 full games as long as you at least get a few hits.
-
Everything about pxp is backwards. Why do pitchers get 40 pts per inning and 10 pts per strikeout while a batter only gets 10 pts per non-guaranteed at-bats. So you pitch one inning with 3k’s, that’s 70 pxp for that pitcher. A batter can only generate at most 55pts in a perfect at-bat, which for them is a grand slam. That’s 10pts for the atbat, 5 for the run, 20 for the 4 rbis, and 20 for the hr. The batter is capped out, but the pitcher could still get a win, save, shutout, or qs. Where in this equation is get good? The math that they’ve created is obsurdly backwards because a pitcher is guaranteed innings and k’s if you’re a decent pitcher. A batter on the other hand depends on how many innings are being played, where in the order they’re batting, and rng. There’s nine batters, every at-bat can’t be a grand slam but there is only one pitcher thus guaranteeing those stats. Which begs the question, why is level 5 for a pitcher only 5000 and a batter is 10000?
-
I’ve put the only 3 POTM in my ranked team and will get the 1500 pxp that way in about 5/6 more games. No rush.
I sold all of Aprils because once I saw the requirements I took a bucket load of nope to that

Level 5 for a pitcher is still 10000, so not sure where you are getting that from. Also the reason for the discrepancy between pitchers and hitters is because it isn't designed for a worthless mode(play vs. CPU), or spamming the same pitcher for 10 conquest games. It's very clearly made with pitcher stamina in mind

The PXP players stuff to me is the worst grind of the game. For me... I'm not even able to use my DD team at all recently because I'm using all these Topps now and legend/flashbacks to try and PXP them. It seems like they are pushing the PXP stuff hard this year which probably won't matter for the hard-core guys that play hours daily, but for a casual player it's terrible. I had a couple hours free time last night and had to play the new conquest with all these players and topps now guys on the conquest before that... literally not using my team for a couple weeks while I grind to build a team that I will barely use. I would love to see a different grind instead, like maybe we play against the legends/flashbacks or maybe do team specific PXP missions so at least we can use players we are interested in using or want to try. I enjoy the game a lot, but after 4-5 conquest games last night with guys like Spahn pitching and a full lineup of these flashbacks it felt like a chore and not something I look forward to doing. A lot of you hardcores will tell me it's not even that bad and all you need to do is play like 377 full games in 30 days, but it's easy to say that when you have the free time to play a few hours + day in and day out. I just think they are going overboard with the grinding PXP on specific players this year... I miss the beat Athletics on all star or higher stuff.
