Very interesting.....how inning started out with pxp and once again it is returning without a cycle of double xp period. They really are making it almost impossible to finish the second inning program unless they seriously add xp goals. Still over 250k but I'm not seeing me getting to 2nd boss pick or a wheel spin. Truly making the game unrewarding and making me want to abandon the challenge I'm partaking in. We need more xp gains....especially for casual off line players

Have you done all of the programs?
-
Wasn’t the last week before the first inning ended the double XP week? Have they confirmed they aren’t doing that again?
-
Likely double xp leading into 3rd inning.....all programs done but egg hunt., which it's 25k. I'm just not seeing the gains. Alot of my gains are conquest and the 4500 xp in team affinity. Roughly I manage one 9 inning game and a few conquest games which last year netted around ten k xp...this year around 5. They seem to keep nerfing xp year after year. I hope this turns around or it literally will be my last year on the game because it's hard to want to keep playing a game when you feel the progress isn't showing besides basic programs

Not sure what your playing; but I've been playing Conquest and DQ and I'm at 470K.

There’s significantly less xp this inning. I’d bet on them discounting program xp that carries into the next inning like last year from now on. They pulled a ton of xp out of the multiplayer program.
-
I think you’re in the minority here; last year that was all we heard here every day. They will put the last week at 2x XP per usual.
If you fear that it could happen again in the 3rd, do all the Conquest maps but leave the last stronghold, and knock them off when the new inning starts, that should give you a head start.
You could also do it with the 3rd game of Championship Series in MS.
That’s what I did for Inning 2 as there was no point in wasting XP on wheel spins. Plenty of runway left, you’ll make it.
-
Agreed. I’ve done all the programs and conquests and diamond quests and still am only at 230K xp so 90K from first boss pack. It feels kinda pointless to play until more is released at this point. I’m really busy with my real life at work and coaching my son so it’s okay but I can tell this game is quickly taking a backseat faster and faster every year for me.
-
I'm sitting around 350k xp at this moment - first Boss choice pack beside me. I'm playing all modes, but from one week mostly single player modes. But I started with boost 30k for collecting all bosses from last inning. Nevertheless without it i will be around 320k xp.

XP given during games has got to be more, especially with how few good pitches the CPU throws this year and how insanely quick the CPU fielders are. I’m not an online player, so I’m not gonna get the multiplayer program XP and I’m just not gonna play this game 4-5 hours per day. Playing full CPU games used to be fun and beneficial. Neither is the case now. Tedious and not fun equals me not wanting to play.

Yes they really making it difficult for sure this year more so than ever taking more forever to get to the bosses
-
@MetalDoc17_XBL maybe they can increase it a little, but i don't think it is undervalued - good game against Rockies/White Sox at Rookie can give you some xp.
-
The whole focus is wheel spins....as a bonus but I'm betting alot are barely going to get to the second bonus. I'm at 275k....and 1500-2000xp per 9 inning game or 600-900 xp per conquest just won't cut it. That's like if I play 8 full games around 5-6 hours and that 10-12 k xp without hitting any xp goals. Just isn't possible. I'd even be for maybe 2500xp for beating diamond conquest. But I'm not seeing a way to get to the final boss card and bonus. I see myself getting to the 450k-475k xp unless there are more ways added
-
Do the multiplayer program. Lots of XP to gain there. I was able to make a huge jump and get the first boss pack yesterday. It's pretty easy with the moonshot event right now.
-
Interesting....sounds idea for someone who has good internet of desires to want to play online. I do not. Atleast I know the cpu won't try to cut corners in some compacity and won't try to delay and extend games and freeze offs. Last few years I had no issue with finishing the xp path. This year offline again it seems an unlikely goal.
