How about extending double XP?
-
Yeah I play a ton imo and I still haven’t gotten to the end. I’ve finished every program and online also.
-
Honestly, they need to make it 3x or 4x. I've played the same amount as always and I'm not even to 350k yet. Game XP in single player modes is ridiculous. Last night I played 6 conquest games, a few 3-inning MS games, two 9-inning MS games and a few DQ missions and collected a whooping 25k XP of which 4k came from completing the conquest map. Unless they add some huge XP bonuses to the Tuesday and Thursday content this week I'm not getting to 500k even if they extend double XP.

Something tells me why there is a program on Thursday

That crossed my mind too but I didn't want to get my hopes up if it turns out to be nothing.
-
Same and the new mini seasons is broken so you can’t get the xp from that…@sds is a joke
-
Time to put the boss pack back at 350k

They really need to extend double XP, 100% agreed. The reason game XP is such a pittance is because three releases ago, they very quietly and somewhat underhandedly cut game earned XP in half, and completely ignored people asking about it. Used to be 180 for a pitched inning, now it’s 90-99 depending on the difficulty
Not sure why they refuse to have the last week of the inning Double XP but whatever.
-
I feel like this game is a job right now and guess what in 45 to 60 days they will come out and say the following ... " We heard the feedback and starting now and for the rest of the game cycle we will extend Double XP for the whole week " --- Here is the rub they know what they are doing cause they did it last year and I believe the year before too.
Breaking news --- SDS does not care about it's players ONLY how much your willing to spend buying stubs etc
but the sad thing is I am complaining about an issue me and others know about YET we are stupid enough to keep doing it so they might be greedy but we are stupid for doing the same thing year after year. --
-
@blitz77tw_PSN Yup, they do this every year. They loosen up and give more mid game cycle after the stub sales dry up. It’s just getting worse every year.
-
I much do they expect us to play to finish this inning. 8 hours a day? I finally passed the 450k mark. With 4 days left to go. Ive played a ton
-
I am grinding and I am giving myself a headache -- I am hating my life right now.
If the issue is they do not want players to get 3 to 5 ish wheel spins a day then put a cooldown on it or put a 2 spins limit in 18 hours or something. I am begging SDS to please extend Double XP even just extend it to tues and end it right before the new content makes no sense to end it on a Monday
Ditka ditto just passed that number too
-
Sunday, I had 2 nice 9 inning romps with my semi-god squad to get to Doerr, but I work overnights, so I may only get in 2 more games Monday after some rest before double XP expires.
Selfishly, I play HUT as well, and still need to grind their 'Wildcard' mode and 'Team of the week' objectives. I already put them on hold to capitalize on dxp. Extending it should get me to the boss pack, and the single packs that i'm sure i'll pull Ohtani from 🤪. I dont need the wheel spin. Didn't make it last inning either!! -
I'm at about 375k; however, I've only finished four TAs and have 13 Jolt cards. So I have a lot of 5k boosts (around 50kish on team TAs) that put me higher than someone else who plays at my rate and already finished everything in the first inning.
-
Done for night ( 12:45 ish PST ) -- ended at a tad over 475 so close but i figure the program Tues will have at least 5k XP prolly 10 so just doing a little more on side up until Fri at noon so should be fine but killing myself tonight should not have been needed.

Reminds me of the old joke.
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that.I realize some people have a drive to finish all of the content and try to get all of the cards but at some point we have to decide for ourselves whether those goals are worth the aggravation of trying to complete them.
SDS will be far more likely to change the requirements or up the XP rewards in subsequent innings if they see that people just gave up on an inning and stopped playing than they are if they see a huge spike in game hours played in the final week of the Inning as people force themselves to play even more.

Yup, I haven't changed my play time much aside from the past two weeks because frankly, it wasn't worth it. So my primary example is inning 1. I could usually hit the boss packs no problem...but 1st inning I barely made 432k. Now this inning I JUST made Bobby Doerr. I know there's a ton of people who hit the boss pack, but there's also a ton of people in the same boat as me who aren't getting them for the second straight inning. They either need to bump XP up or extend the double XP.
They loosen up and give more mid game cycle after the stub sales dry up. It’s just getting worse every year.
Agreed, usually it's kinda...not sneaky but you don't notice it as much. This year has been noticeably worse with the card cap to limit stub making

No doubt.
I realize some people have a drive to finish all of the content and try to get all of the cards but at some point we have to decide for ourselves whether those goals are worth the aggravation of trying to complete them.
I've always had the desire to do so, but when the thing is an absolute slog and just feels like you're barely getting anything for the grind, that's a problem.
DS will be far more likely to change the requirements or up the XP rewards in subsequent innings if they see that people just gave up on an inning
I think a ton of people did this, more than anyone at SDS would care to admit

That's very true. I played probably played a grand total of 3-4 hours this past weekend. I am at the 400,000 xp mark now. Probably play for a couple hours this evening after work. Probably could make 500,000 by the end don't know if I really care that much to do so. It's not worth the frustration I have enough of that at work. Not going to kill myself getting Randy or Babe, if I want them that bad II can purchase them from the marketplace.
-
I just hit Doerr and don't see myself getting a boss pack (as usual). Definitely no wheel spins here.
-
@sds_joek_psn please pass this on to the team...kinda sounds like it's desperately needed by a good volume of players
-
I do not know the number exactly but it feels like they have lowered XP from programs the smaller one's like Topps Now 's Program by half ish. If they are going to do this then they have to either go back to extending Double XP and/or add 10 to 15 % min to the raw XP
Side off topic note -- Seems like they want to push the offline players into some online but when I see vids from streamers about this cheat program that has it's own discord and such and other issues for online play. How do you expect the offline grinders to want to jump into that pit of mud ??
