Multiplayer Program Huge L!?
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS I agree. There needs to be some kind of happy medium. Unless they’re going to flood the game with stubs so we can easily buy the rewards through play, the other two modes will die.
Side note: I suspect WS and maybe BR rewards will be available as tier rewards in weekend classic.
-
@Alimathus_PSN agreed, it’s better to rack up stats in events and lose than it would be to win 3 in a row with low stat accumulation. STUPID !!
-
Events got even less interesting then they already were...BR will now be less rewarding without the program packs... Online play sounds less appealing then ever before. Kind of a buzz kill after everything else we have seen.

The return of tiered mission drops is a big L. There’s no reason to play the program until all missions have dropped.
There is reward playing ranked … to get that higher rank for Weekend League

I legitimately can’t figure out how they don’t have “wins” as a way to earn either bonus XP or multiplayer program stars….im calling it now - ppl are going to message asking to swap homers for stats. If you don’t answer they’ll just quit and you end up with nothing since wins give 0 rewards
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS Might as well rack up stats since events essentially don’t matter for anything else.
-
If there really do end up being no BR cards to earn outside of going flawless then I probably will play that a lot less, which is a shame because I love that mode. But I would still play Events either way. Sometimes its nice to just mess around in some 3 inning games and complete some stat missions without sweating and worrying about wins and losses.

@GoozeFn_PSN agreed I’ve made it 800 quite a few times. Highest is 850 just can’t seem to break through that glass ceiling

I think it should be completed games, not wins. thats the best way to reduce quitting.

@LIONED-33_XBL Same. I can definitely hit 800.
-
With this program setup, will anyone who isn’t seriously invested in their ranked rating ever play a game against Randy or JohnDon again? Definitely not in events, and probably not ranked either.
-
Did they announce the multiplayer rewards.

I'll give them an inning to see if they know how to pitch or not. This was how the last third of 2024 was for me too once they removed the innings. I don't care about my ranking, so i would much rather lose 10-5 then win 1-0 under the 'only offense matters' approach we have now.
But when innings was the main stat I played almost every non-shield woods/troll opponent game to completion
-
@virusts_XBL Mantle/Carlton for WS Berkman/Gossage for BR 10-0.
-
I’m totally cool with this new setup. I have always done my grinding offline and played RS when I’m caught up grinding. One mode I have never played is BR because to me that’s not enjoyable. But now that I can get those rewards as well without playing BR, I’m thrilled! Gonna be a great year boys!!!
-
@IrishFist412_MLBTS sure, you may get the reward after it is totally unplayable and behind the power creep. No reason not to put the ranked and br cards in drop 3 other than gatekeeping.
-
I stopped reading after like 15 comments. I just got home from a double, too busy to check on my phone or even attempt watch the stream. first I've seen or heard or even thought on what online will/has become.
First thought, fugh. fugh fahk. but..There will be plenty of content and I bet they change things. tona different rewards system down the line here. Other things will be important. The pxp grind and all the other programs they run. there will be reason to play online, even if its just pxp at first. I'm still pumped.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN my thoughts exactly on events I don't see a reason for playing events jn 25 because they're are no event rewards outside the win streak I think they just lumped "event reward" cards into the multi-player program with the 2 new legend cards
-
@ChAoTiC_Engineer_PSN They could fix it pretty easily by simply giving program progress for each event win.

If you arent good enough to go 10-0 I highly doubt the extra month of slow power creep is going to make those cards unplayable for you. Skill is by an enormously large margin more important than an 89 vs a 87
