I ran into WS types the first two games I tried on events. Need to wait a few days to hopefully pair up with people I have a shot against
Me too. I just quit out of those and move on. I'm at 3 wins so far, hoping to get to 10 overall.

Man I hate diamond quest. You do great for 2 hours, beat most challenges including the sweeper, you have 40 % chance for Kenley and 70 % chance for Santana only to get neither and feel terrible for wasting so much time for nothing.
Hope SDS will scrap it or change for next year.I feel like this is were the miss understanding of hate for DQ comes from. I rarely play the whole map. 90% of the time just go straight for the stadiums and play on HoF or Legend (haven't played the Extreme 1 because of work yet) if it's an all live series team. Usually only have 25-35% chance to get rewards, but only takes me 15-20 minutes to complete. So if I don't get lucky and get both I just run it back and try again. This way I'm getting 4 runs of DQ in EACH with a 25-35% chance of getting rewards. So as long as I walk away with 1 of each after 4 runs I've maximized my time and instead of 1 run in 2 hours with only 80-95% (not garuanteed), I get 4 runs in and so far have always got both by my 4th run and Usually have 1-2 duplicates I can sell (maybe not great for this DQ because I heard you can't sell them).

The fact they put one of the cover athletes behind a program that maybe 10 % of the player base will complete is entirely idiotic. They should just just call the program Extreme RNG.
-
Yeah, it killed motivation for me too.

@Ezio-I7_XBL They may be easy for you, but for many they won't be.
I'm glad you're going to get it done soon, though. -
@NotesOfJohn_PSN amen. Huge disappointment for me. Not looking to be a pro gamer or youtube content creator. I didn't realize that was the goal? kinda bummed they did it this way.

I'm an average player and I completed Extreme last year just by doing the repeatable PXP.
It took me a lot longer than other players. But I completed it.
As I stated in another thread; its not meant, unless youre a really good player, to be completed in a few days.

@wingspan1985_PSN I've played it 3 times, On legend...i got Kenley....thats it...0-3 on Slamtana. Legend percentage was always above 80%.
-
@LIONED-33_XBL
I didnt get Santana at 94% on legend. -

I didnt get Santana at 94% on legend.Got dayum. That's not cool.

@TheGoaler_PSN
I went back and played GOAT to get him. Honestly wasnt that much harder, I probably should have done that in the first run -

See, this is what annoys me.
People are asking for a grind that doesn't require the equivalent of P5ing 100 cards from scratch, not something they can 'complete in a few days' yet people continue to make statements like yours to justify their defence of this program. -
@Talkingben9558_XBL well count me in...i'll try that tonight. The last time i lost 7% because i saved and quit to put the boys to bed....and when i fired it up it said i got a 7% penalty for not completing? is this part of it? you have to finish in one setting?

Did you move one space before saving and quit out? You need to in order to not lose any percentage points

@sbchamps17_NSW good to know, never knew that....lol. I dont play much DQ, i've purchased the other cards lol.

@markemark_NSW said in Extreme Program:
Don’t they usually have missions with cards from the extreme program? I remember having to parallel Kerry wood up to five one year and getting 100 base hits with some batter another year. Can’t they put something big like a few hundred TB with Buxton or Ks with Clemens? Or something repeatable other than 40k PXP? Otherwise I’ll finish just in time for the show ’26 (or never)
I agree. This was something they did in the past and am disappointed that they didn't do it this year. There should be PXP missions for Buxton and Clemens that get you like 10 points or something.

2018: Conquest Extreme. Basically a harder re-working of the US Map, Final Reward: Matt Kemp
2019: 3 sets of Extreme Moments. Final Reward: Goose
2020: The first actual Extreme Program, with Map, Moments & Showdown: Final Reward: Gehrig
2021: No Extreme
2022: Back w/ a vengeance. The Kerry Wood Year. Included Repeatable PXP. Final Reward: Donaldson
2023: First Extreme w/ Sets & Seasons. Included Repeatable PXP. Extreme cards were Set 3 with the exception of Final Boss: HRD Griffey who was CORE
2024: Acuna. Unsure of details (I was PS5-less at the time.) -

2024: Acuna. Unsure of details (I was PS5-less at the time.)For 2024 all you needed to do was run mini seasons on rookie difficulty a few times to finish it. The program was the least extreme version ever. This year, like most corrections they have tried, sds took a sledge hammer to the program and made it virtually impossible for most casual players in a reasonable time frame instead of making minor tweaks to find a happy medium of challenging but doable.

I'm at 20% in 7 days with PXP alone. If it takes me 10 weeks, it takes me 10 weeks. The double PXP is very helpful.

What's your definition of a "happy medium"?
