    That fact that the first innings bosses are cheaper than the second inning bosses (at least last I checked) with a week to go in the inning says all that needs to be said. I'm pretty sure I've never seen that before.

    Out of curiosity I checked, almost 29 k have Randy compared to 162 k that have Acuna, I couldn't check Murakami or Ruth it froze when I triangle on the card.
    but 162k to 29 k THAT is a tremendous difference.

    The first innings leaned heavily into TA.

    Without that, and combined with the least actual content in recent memory, and you've got this problem where the vast majority won't even get near finishing it unless they drop something big tomorrow.

    Horrendous planning.

    TA, but it also had 2 minseasons several cq maps 5 wbc programs st pattys day egg hunt new threads and a cornerstone. Granted some of them are small and was only 4500 xp but I'd take a few of those right now, my math says I'm still 66 9 inning games or 250 3 inning games from the boss pack( and I play alot), I'll take any bonus xp I can get

    @PAinPA_PSN this isnt counting the people who got the card and sold it? Correct. Still a huge difference yes.

    why would that even matter? If one person has the card and sells it, one person still has it. If 30 people have the card and 15 sell it, that doesn't mean 45 people have it now.

    Its 29,000 cards total whether in someones lineup or on the market.

    @PAinPA_PSN Speaks to both how absurd the second inning path is and how many people have simply walked away after a single inning.

    @Ditka06_MLBTS It's probably even worse than those numbers show. It would only show if you USED it. There are certainly people who got Acuna and never used him. VERY likely anyone that has Randy has used Randy.

    A comparison of XP per year:

    New Threads program in 25 gave 35k XP, this year, the New Threads Program and CityScapes Program don't give that amount combined
    MiniSeasons in 25 gave 20K-54K XP, the CityScapes MiniSeason this year just 15K

    @pjburrage_PSN They don’t seem to want most people to finish the xp path.

    @GoozeFn_PSN It's so marked a difference year on year. I'm based in the UK and so multiplayer games of MLB are a bit hit and miss when it comes to gameplay (and with it enjoyment of The Show), and with it being a long weekend here this weekend, I could have put a bit of time into grinding the XP path to get close to Randy or Ruth (I'm on around 190K in S2), but to give less program XP across MiniSeason/Conquest/Program combined than you would get on a Program last year, just made me go think about playing something else this weekend.

    I'll still sit and play my Diamondbacks Franchise, but I'm not going to be looking to grind towards DD goals, rewards and collections.

    @GoozeFn_PSN remember my cynical explanation?
