XP Cap and Offline Players

@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.

The problem I see with SDS is that they are changing too much about the mechanics of the game (like XP gains, etc) without changing much about the actual game itself. They could sell the concepts better if it was more than just a copy and paste game for the last 6 or so years. Don’t see how they could’ve expected anything other than outrage. My mind still goes back to that early game release stream they had that Thursday night. They turned it over to a scripted presentation with Ashley and a couple other non-developers doing most of the talking. Nobody on the back row looked like they wanted to be there. There were just hints at what was coming with XP (etc) and then we couldn’t even play the first couple hours because of server resets. In hindsight, it really all explains why there were no tech tests or pre-release trial plays. I was sucked in this year because they were talking about new animations and gameplay ideas. Honestly, a lot of those animations are broken and frustrating (like diving and having to get up and run the opposite direction before throwing to a base, etc). I say it every year, but I’m definitely not buying the game again until the game is changed up graphically and mechanically some. We are 4 years into next gen gaming and the game looks the same as it did 7 years ago. Now they take away freedom of gameplay. Joke.

@DivineFury75 SMH are they getting that 100K everyday or is it over the 3 week duration of the ranked programs?

rank program, events, and BR program give 85k XP combined. BR is updated monthly, but events are updated every week or two. There is not a single offline program that Online people are not also getting expect mini-seasons. Mini-season gives 25k xp one time and only at most half that every time there after. Over the duration of the programs, Online has substantially more xp.

Dude, you seem to be missing the point. I do all the online programs too but even I understand where they are coming from. What SDS is telling them is that if they want this 100K XP, they have to load into online games and get beat around by players with a much higher skill level than them. Of course they don’t enjoy doing that.

Which is the point of this post! Many of us don't want to touch Online and feel we should get a comparable grind to get xp like we have every year before this one.

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
SAY IT WITH ME NOW!!! XP FROM PROGRAMS IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE XP CAP! They're receiving more XP than you because they're CHOOSING to play a mode that you're REFUSING to play.
You're complaint isn't wrong...Yes Online players receive more XP than Offline. But the XP Cap has nothing to do with that.

Would you read my post. I"M ASKING FOR AN OFFLINE PROGRAM TO GRIND OR THE REMOVAL OF THE XP CAP

@Doctor-Fauci910 @DivineFury75_PSN
Really boo hoo to both of you. The OPTION is there for you to play. Are they supposed to block off a section of their game and make it for offline players only?
If you're a vegan and you go to a buffet that has food options for vegans and carnivores, you have the option to eat the burger. It's your choice not to. That also applies here. You have the option to play online but you're making the choice not to.

@DivineFury75 You're asking for an offline program to grind....but you do realize that online players will still have access to that, right? They're still gonna get more xp than you.

@Easy_Duhz_It_ stop being deliberately obtuse.

This doesn't hold water. They gear everything to online. If they are not blocking off Offline players and giving advantage to Online players, then why do Online players get credit for offline programs by using the correct players but offline doesn't?

Like I said, I do the programs and am good enough at the game to complete them. I just have sympathy for people who aren’t good enough at the game to compete online- all the XP they’re used to getting from grinding is gone, and the game is now designed in such a way that they will be behind online players in the XP path. The option is there, sure, but if the only purpose they will serve is getting beat up on by goons farming 10-0s, they’ll just turn the game off and I don’t blame them.

Not if they made it conquest or mini-season like I requested. Most online players won't touch those modes anymore than most of the Offline community won't touch Online. Most, not all

Addition of programs with XP rewards is gonna make or break this situation. I’m not an online player. I don’t enjoy that with the times I get to play after work. I want to keep it casual. Last August I took about a 3-4 break from the game for the first time in many years. It’s just gotten tedious and boring because it’s always the same game. Nothing much has changed graphically in years and years. I’ve already completed the live series, but I may not make it to the summer this year if something isn’t spruced up. I didn’t care for the seasonal set structure and really don’t even care about TA (at least was easier this time), but I keep coming back in hopes of changes. Hope just keeps dying though. Oh well.

I am an average player at best, but play quite a bit online. It is significantly more enjoyable to be versus playing against the computer. Even if I get destroyed, it is better than just beating up on a computer. The last two years of this game were 100% catered to offline players. I spent countless hours doing meaningless offline tasks and was left with hardly any time for online play. This is the first year I feel like I have been able to just load up the game and play the game. In my opinion, it seems that you get rewarded for playing...not manipulating.
I haven't paid any attention to the XP caps as I have just been able to play the game and have fun, but I will say that I think a daily (or weekly) XP cap is needed. If not, people will just load up CPU games and play at max elevation stadiums for the simple purpose of getting more cards.

If you want a great way to get online XP, as an offline player, turn off crossplay, go into co-op with a friend on the same console, and grind innings. Seriously, give it a shot. Sure, you’ll lose some games, but you’ll win some too. When co-op is working, it’s the most fun, low stress online mode in the game.
