XP Cap and Offline Players
-
The XP cap explanation is just flat-out not fair to offline players. I despise online play. I can do it to a small degree (around 600 ranked tops ) but I'm not very good and I hate it beyond words. I think online play is unfair for one. People at the top ( 900+ ) get to complete BR and Events playing downhill to people with greatly inferior skills. While people in the 400-600 range like myself are playing uphill against people with greater skill almost constantly. This means the people at the top almost never play against people of the same skill or greater and people at the bottom do it constantly. That's just not fair and to allow people with the greatest skill to get the rewards by playing people of vastly inferior skill and be rewarded for it is in my opinion just straight-up bullying. So I don't touch online unless I feel I have no choice. 2 fixes would greatly improve online play IMO. 1 put in another line at 700 like there is at 400. That way nobody who even 1 time gets above 700 in rank in an entire year can play down for rewards. This way everyone has a more equal path to the rewards by playing people of similar skill levels. 2 Use ranking in all online modes and all online modes affect your ranking.
I said all the above about ranked play so my position on online play was clear. It's not fair to offline people who don't want to touch the online programs to miss out on that XP. I thought I could play my way? Please increase offline program xp in like conquests and mini-seasons for offline players so we don't have to play online.
TLDR: please find a way to increase xp for offline players so we don't have to do online programs for xp to keep up or eliminate the XP cap and raise the xp gains back to previous years levels.
Edit:
As for getting 99s early. There should only be 3 99s in the game until around the All-Star game at the earliest. 1 AL reward, 1 NL reward, 1 full Live series Collection. You created this problem by putting 99s in the game way to early. Please don't punish us for this choice. -
Amen, Brother!!
-
Yup, 100%. Online, 9 inning games are torture.
-
@DivineFury75 The live series collection for me will get done when I pull the cards which will probably August lol.
-
Thats what has always bugged me about these rewards for being really good at the online part. Those are the last people that need better cards and players. I get rewarding people who are at the top of the rankings with things like stubs, packs, and things like that. Giving them players to make their teams even better seems like you are just creating an even bigger gap between the top end competitive players and everyone else.
-
Crazy to think you actually have to play all game modes to get all cards…

Awww, so you want like a participation trophy , bless your heart

@DivineFury75 curious where you’re at in the XP reward path?

XP Cap affects Online Players the exact same as Offline. You realize that right. In actuality, they'll hit the cap first because they're receiving XP Multipliers while you're playing on Rookie. All the extra XP is earned through the program which isn't effected by the XP Cap. The whole idea behind how XP works this year is that everyone still has the opportunity to earn all those high end 99 cards. Offline and Online alike, but online players have the opportunity to earn them faster. It used to be that the only way you could even obtain a lot of the high end cards was to play online and actually win. Now, theoretically, you could go in to ranked, set your controller down and collect innings and eventually accrue enough points to collect those same cards that they're actually trying to obtain by winning. It's the second week of the games life cycle...they're going to be tons of programs offering tons of XP that won't be affected by the XP Cap. You'll get your 3 99 boss cards. You're just upset that you can't have them tomorrow.

Online players are not affected like offline players because they are getting way more xp in programs, which is the exact point of my post

I personally enjoy the challenge & competition of another real person so I like playing RS…But that’s just me. SDS’s whole thing this stream was “play how you want to play” and that the xp would be the same regardless. Well, That’s just not true. I personally enjoy RS & Conquest but don’t like BR. But now we find out that you can earn additional xp by completing the BR program. Why? That’s making people that play BR have an advantage over people that don’t…And that’s contradictory to what they’ve been saying. Not cool.

@DivineFury75 you're well on your way
Have you completed the mini seasons? I know the Classic Mini Season has some solid XP rewards tied to it. -

@DivineFury75 You can. No one is forcing you to play online.

You're missing the point. Online players will have BR and Events updating on a very regular basis giving Tons of XP that offline-only players have no way to get and no comparable program to get xp from.

@DivineFury75 The game just came out. You know they're gonna be adding programs, updating mini seasons, dropping random conquests, etc. You guys are acting like the game as it is now is what its gonna be forever....with no offline updates or additions.

SMH Online players can get almost 100k XP that Offline players won't ever see but we should just sit back and hope they don't continue to forget all about us and give Online all the attention.
