@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.

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"?

You have earned 160k PXP in one week?

Happy medium — for conquest let me play the legend games first. Or play one and lock it in to complete a goal don’t make it 2 legend games and you have to attack them as part of 10 wins in a row with no margin for error. Every other conquest extreme in every other year had some small minor margin for error.
For DQ I think it is a comment in general and not extreme-centric. As a few have said before if you beat a stadium but don’t get the reward then the second attempt starts at a higher percentage so the more times you are successful the better your chances to claim the reward.
Moments — these are mostly luck and rng so no need to also have legend difficulty. Look at past years moments where there were a handful of hall of fame and a handful of all star. Score 20 runs on all star? Challenging for some Score 20 on hall of fame many aren’t even attempting it.
Add a mini season — don’t have unlimited vouchers on rookie difficulty but have 1 voucher for winning the championship that grants 30 points like conquest or DQ and force games on all star or hall of fame.
Challenging but doable. A happy medium.

@Jeff7407_PSN Spot on.
Also, glad you mentioned a happy medium because every person i've seen defending it justify their defence by disingenuously suggesting that anyone critical of it wants to 'finish it in an hour'.
I suspect because they know they're defending the indefensible.

It’s simply the vocal elitists that have to brag about their superior skills in a video game to give their life meaning. Most of us play games for fun and to relax while actually living in the real world. This game defines the elitists lives so they have to support and defend it, especially when they can earn a virtual trophy that most players can’t.
They don’t care if Elly is somebody’s favorite player and they have made him almost impossible to get for 99% of the player base. All most players want is a reasonable chance to get rewards in a game they paid the same amount as everybody else for. That part is apparently really hard to comprehend for the vocal elitists even when it’s spelled out.
