All right, the XP “problem”

@BJDUBBYAH said in All right, the XP “problem”:
I think removing the repeatable XP reward from Mini Seasons, was a mistake for sure. And I hope with the new Mini Season dropping tomorrow, we see a nod to offline players by bringing it back. If anything a fair compromise would be something like a 7K XP reward the first time, and 3500K each after. I mean, you have to play at least twenty, three inning games to do it which is a significant amount of time for anyone.
The lack of exp for the conquest maps is the most baffling one to me. I just don't understand why they would do that.

@Teak2112 because people who play offline don't spend money. They are trying to incentivise online play in hopes of more people spending money. Thus putting the vast majority of earnable xp in the online programs.

If I can just get to the 1st boss to get Jimmy Rollins then I'll be fine with that, I'm almost at Napoli so we'll see

There are plenty of offline only players that spend money. I used to be one of them. I used to buy stubs to buy the World Series and Flawless BR rewards, when they were cards I wanted but didn't have the stubs.

My biggest issue is I play a lot of vs cpu games and completed every season every year with many bonus spins. I probably won’t even hit the first boss pick this season.
The xp is not kind to players like me this year

I think I have already said part of this but after me being furious over the low XP cap I kind of see WHY but I am disappointed they have not raised it even just a little. I mean considering the XP for rewards for offline stuff is pretty much nothing after doing mini seasons , C-Maps Etc then it would have made more sense to raise it like every time a TA drops by like 2k.

Yup. I feel that. SDS put out a massive L in this regard if I’m being honest. I try to play a bit every night. I’m nowhere near a boss, haven’t even cracked 200k yet. I’m likely gonna finish somewhere around 350k. I would have been sniffing the final level last year, with a minimum of a couple bosses. 100% feels like it’s not even worth the effort anymore, with slashed xp, dogwater rewards(honestly, banners in a program is dumb AF)

To be honest I dont even think its the cap thats the problem
I dont play rookie or veteran offline, I play to my skill level (which sadly is all star)
However, that means Im not even hitting the cap most days
The stated intent was for xp to come through programs, but at 4k per program thats not remotely cutting it -
@go4stros25 said in All right, the XP “problem”:
@Dolenz64 yeah. They will give you one relatively soon, but I would expect it to take around 800k xp to get all 4.
By then will the bosses even be top cards anymore?
My concern Is that they plan to start over by beginning season 2 releasing low 90 cards all over again.
I have enough cards to get Leiter, but locking them in seems like a horrible idea
This year I'm not locking in anything (other than LS collection) that took stubs to acquire. Even with 3M stubs in the bank.
Past years I'd be locked in to get reward cards as fast as possible. Not this year

Easy solution… wait for iiiiiittttttt! Play some games online and you will benefit as well. BOOM!

Or just git good right? Some people don’t want to deal with the toxic online environment. Just saying.

I’ve come around on it taking awhile to get to the bosses. My problem is that the reward path otherwise isn’t rewarding. Most of the other players are underwhelming by the time you get to them and the path is filled with trash icons and other useless things. If it takes days of grinding to get to the next reward, those rewards need to be rewarding. This game is stale already because progress is so slow.

It would be much less of an issue if the cards didn't expire. Going through a 3 month grind to get those cards and then you can't use them shortly after all that? I dunno, but that seems like a recipe for a whole lotta people to quit playing.

@Skarmaen You can though with the wild card spots. You might not be able to use all your 99’s, but there’s 4 wild card spots now.

Correction... There are 4 wild card spots that have to be earned through the XP path each season. So you will start with one and probably get an additional one every 200,000-300,000 XP earned. So by the end of season two, maybe you have a squad of 99's but probably not until near the middle/end of season three.
-
@GoozeFn There are 4 WCs eventually. You start with 1 and get the rest through grinding xp (I think).
-
We don’t yet know how the wild card slots will work.
-
@TheOnlyYetti I do. Nice try loser.
-
@GoozeFn I really like the way you worded this. You are 100% correct. It feels so terrible hitting the cap on Monday, then on Tuesday getting to the next program reward and its a [censored] icon. Woo hoo.

Right, I never understood that answer. You'd think they wouldn't want someone like me online who is barely a 600 player, ends up picking up a cheap win on a bunch of poorly contacted balls because I had the RNG in my side that day.
I feel like I am happier without PS Plus and the online community ought to be happy I'm not online either.
