P 5's In '25
-
I was thinking (because I'm always thinking.....like the Dreamcast
) that with no sets & seasons anymore, that the 10,000 points to get players to P 5 will be back as opposed to the reduced levels in '24.
Or maybe prestige levels will come back.
I don't think all users were around when 'prestiging' was a thing in the Show. I did like that a few years back. -
@TheGoaler_PSN I prefer the current PXP method (as someone who only had 20 and this year’s 24). From memory the specific “hit X number of HRs” to prestige were difficult for worse players like me, whereas PXP allows us to consistently strike out and still get closer to levelling them up. Can see why prior Prestige would make it more of an achievement for someone to earn, rather than something everyone could achieve by throwing enough hours at it!
-
In The Show 20, you could only "prestige" a card through grinding online stats which completely alienated offline players.
I think the system they have now works best where you can gain progress either way. Going back to a more rigorous stat-based requirement instead of just accumulating PXP could trigger some The Show 18 PTSD. A balanced approach should be maintained.

As someone that P5s there favorite players or new cards that seem to be meta. I would like to see the parallel change to where a P1 is +1 to all attributes and so forth ending at P5 which would be +5 to all attributes. If they were to do this I feel like they should make it harder to P5 players. Thus would kind of stand out next year for the consumer that takes the time to P5 players.

I want them to overhaul the system. Have different levels to the pxp. It was frustrating seeing a card get released that you wanted, thinking you'd get to 5 before others, only to see that someone hit 5 in a day or two by spamming a game at Coors or any high elevation CAS on rookie.
Have pxp for all difficulty levels. I would have a lot more respect for someone who would have a pxp 5 on all-star or above. Or better yet....take off the stat boost or keep that at 5, but let the pxp go endlessly. So someone can have a card at like pxp 167.

As someone who has had a number of P5 1/1s (around 20) hitters take 3-4 days so it's reasonable. Unless it's a really popular card.
I have a few popular cards, but I think they were during kind of a dead time for the game. I'm finding it hard to have a chance at any of the finest cards. Might have a shot at one or two.Pitchers are ridiculous though. Which is why I have none. I'll probably have Glasnow done by tonight but TWO guys had him early LAST night. Insane.
-
I know it's reasonable. I never hit 1/1 but had a few top 20s. It's just nuts seeing how fast some of these cards get there because of people playing against the cpu on rookie at Coors. I'd love a legit ranking system or a neverending pxp system.

Trust me even though we use some "hacks" you have to be a pretty decent offline player to get it done.
If your OPS with the guy is less than 2.400 or so, you have no chance.
And I play a lot but never pulled an all-nighter or anything crazy.
