I wish each program was 4 weeks.
I don't think it will be very much of a worry this time around, all 4 of the extreme rewards will be involved in the collections for 30XP each, conquest will be at least 30XP, the moments at least 15XP, the missions at least another 20XP, and the exchanges for 30XP. That's 215XP on the first day and that's not even taking in to account playing time.

I must play too much. I hit 500K on Sunday.

The extreme cards count toward this new program as well?

I think they are going to, not everyone had them the first week they dropped, I'm guessing of course but it would make sense to me at least.

Totally disagree. I feel like all of the programs are getting the appropriate length that they need to have to get them done. I was a late starter to grinding the Featured program but seeing packs return in other programs (including Featured programs) has me not as stressed as I was when I first made my return to online gaming. Making every program 4 weeks just makes everything too rigid and boxed in... what if its a program that you really want to do but can't because you're on vacation that week and you opt not to pack your gaming console or setup remote play? What if other factors beyond your control take you away from your game for 1-4 weeks? The bigger programs get more time, the smaller programs get less time and then you have a mix in between that are available in "Other Programs"
Me personally instead of wanting all the programs to 4 weeks, I think a bigger change to the game would be keeping Featured Programs available similar to how "Innings" were in previous The Show games were XP outside of the mode only counted towards whatever the current inning was but you could still grind through that inning program.

^This is what I liked about the TA program. It was always there to work on and grind through.

I doubt the extreme bosses are in collection day one. And I bet it’s collect two this time, not individual like last time. Next program will be three and finally all four. That gives everyone time to progress.

That makes sense

I have a feeling they will be since they were there as soon as they became available in DDOS once Extreme released and now that Extreme is available I don't see any reason to delay them being used as a collection or collections in Back to Old School. Now one thing I will agree with is that it is possible that they could do the collection the way you stated with the Collect 1, Collect 2, Collect 3, Collect All 4 type of setup.

Honest question. What do you consider finishing the program, getting to the bosses or getting to the end?
It seemed like I barely played this program, skipping at least 50% of the days it was active, if not more, and I still made it to the bosses. Mainly I did the two conquests, all of the moments (including topps now that released in that time frame) and a single failed attempt at the the Showdown. I never even attempted any Extreme content.
Of course if you are one of those who feels you have to get to the very end of the program then I can understand you feeling that you do not have enough time. But, I honestly don't believe SDS expects the average user to get to the end. It is for the hardcore guys that do play hours every day.
Used to be 100% the past few months. Last program I just stopped at bosses. I think I'll be stopping at bosses from now on.

I think you'll find you may even enjoy the more relaxed pace. Not feeling obligated to play for fear of not getting to the end and grabbing all those extra packs that rarely pay off.

Looking at it now and the 4 extreme program finest players are individual collections for 30XP. What's weird is I can't claim Kerry Wood because it's already claimed. I claimed it in the previous program before it ended but now it's locked out?

How many times should you be able to claim a free 30k xp for a single card?

Unfortunately SDS don't make this game for people who just want to play casually and have fun. This game is geared at the serious, competitive gamer who is more likely to spend money to be competitive!! This game stopped being about game play as soon as micro-transactions were a thing.
I finish (get the bosses) each program and play for only a few hours each program. Do the exchanges and showdown + conquest and you’re pretty much there everytime. Just wait for the content to actually come out so you have something to earn.
I haven’t done a single program related moment or missions all year. They give way to much XP for nothing just make sure your doing to correct nothing. Which is always conquest lol.
