My idea for fixing progression and XP this year
-
This year the XP earned has been awful. Like beyond bad.The reason is simple.They don't want you to reach 99s before they want you to because of the power creep and seasonal structure.
When we played this game during the double XP it felt good. It felt natural and it felt grindable.Right now grinding this game is torture.If you work 5 days a week and can't play a lot you will never catch up and get the Bosses.
So what I think they should do is raise the XP to double XP all the time but to prevent the players from reaching the Bosses before they are supposed to they should release the XP Reward Path in Phases like TA.
For example Season 2 starts and you can only earn up until like 350-400k for the first 4 weeks and then you spin the wheel.Your XP would be double than before not forcing you to grind like crazy and you would not be able to reach the higher end cards in the Path before time.
Then as TA Chapter 2 releases you unlock 400K more of the XP Reward Patch and you spin the wheel when you max out until Chapter 3.
Chapter 3 TA are 99s overall anyway so at that point they could release the Bosses for the final phase.
Thoughts?

Wouldn't work. People would find a way to complete each stage ASAP and then gripe that there is nothing to play.
There is no easy answer other than going back to the original 30K XP CAP.

I think they should turn off the XP Cap for Chapter 3 every season

I’m not a fan of that idea to be honest. I’d prefer more and better rewards throughout the path alternatively. Get all the icons and fodder out completely if we are going to progress so slowly. Make MLB the show rewarding again.

I still think Daily Cap is the problem, I'd prefer weekly. I've had a few days where I could play 5 or 6 hours and hit my cap, then the last 3 days I've played like 3 mini season games per night and life stops me from playing more, so much XP opportunities gone. My only hope is more double XP days or a lot of big XP programs dropping late in the season so I can make up the ground I lost.
