Why is it so hard to complete the innings?
-
Sounds like rhyno didn’t do much of the TA program in the first inning and that was his crutch for inning 2.
Guessing those of us struggling for XP right now finished most of if not all of TA during inning 1 so now there is no content for inning 2. If this isn’t the case for him then like you I have no idea what he is talking about.
-
In game XP being pitiful doesn't help, the XP rewards themselves in the paths are not enough. Normally, personally I can usually lean on the MP path to pick up anywhere from 50k to 100k extra XP, but with some of the missions being event or BR based (both modes I actively TRY to avoid because of the WAAC players), that's been tough. Yeah I could play solo ranked online more, which is a fair argument...but the rewards in the Inning paths just aren't worth the frustration.
-
I feel for everyone. It's definitely lack of content and no love for offline gamers. I play everyday and I play a lot and I'm still not done with the program. This past Friday's drop took nothing more than a few hours to complete and by Sunday there is nothing to do again. Repeatable conquest maps where only the final reward is available just doesn't cut it, a long grind through Diamond Quest ro MAYBE get the reward is garbage, and repeating mini seasons is boring. Oh not to mention TA has been done for weeks.
-
The only thing that makes sense (to me) is that they devoted all their resources to the Mobile game going live this Inning.
Don’t like that, but explains it anyway….
-
I don’t know that it’s that tough , maybe a bit tougher than last year, but i finished the xp path in mlb as well as the one in nhl simultaneously, and i work full time with a wife and kid, I’m guessing some of the people that don’t finish it either just play just offline or hust online, if you play both it’s very doable.
-
I play a ton, and I just made it this weekend (the 20k xp from finishing multiplayer put me over the top). Normally I would have had a bunch of wheel spins... meaning a bunch of 5 packs.
-
It definitely took me longer than the 1st, but that was because of TA in the 1st inning. I got the boss pack on Saturday and it wasn't too bad.
-
One thing I will say, just play your game and they will see the stats that people aren’t completing the innings. Content has been awful this year. I really hope they see our complaints and see that people are struggling. Until this year I would finish the inning every time. I’m only halfway done. I have no chance. There is his big enough to do as an offline player to get there.
TA needs to be reinstated the way it was a few years ago. 1 huge program path for each division loaded with packs, XP and stubs every 6 weeks or so. The missions should be repeatable. Pitching hasn’t acrued me progress in several weeks.
-
Was poorly thought out people didn’t notice it as much in first inning because ta gave so much xp.
-
They have had a TON on content ..... in the show shop
I get that is what DD is about and online players or primary online players should have an advantage but not to the point where we are at right now. I would say SDS needs to learn this but as mentioned in another thread they are running the MLB the show playbook ( content etc ) and then they will come out and give the BS line of --" We heard the fans etc etc " and adjust XP in terms of rewards etc
-
There’s no entitlement that a “casual” player deserves to get to 500k XP. You seem to either be misusing your time on the game or simply not playing enough. I play most evenings for a bit and I’m at 444k and I’ve had some vacations away in there.
This sounds like a car salesman who only works 1 day a week and maybe isn’t the best complaining that he can never win salesman of the month. The people who put in real time and are good get rewarded with stuff. The good thing about the Inning rewards is that you can buy them if you really want and don’t have the time to put into it. -
Both can be true. Last weekends content was solid, but it was a desert before that. Team Affinity doesn't get love - I think they've decided people don't play it enough, so theyre not gonna care about it.

Your playing right into SDS cause unless you get very good RNG from packs chances are maybe not you but others buy stubs to do what you just said ( I did like a 5k bundle ) last time around to be able to buy the other player or maybe both for some.
-
@tear4eddy_PSN It kinda sounds like you just really wanted to use a car salesman analogy where it didn’t fit or make sense. You play everyday and aren’t there, I’m not sure you are the one who gets to hand out XP gainer of the month and the prize that comes with it.
Or we can all listen to a guy who played everyday, didn’t finish, and is glad. Any other amazing ideas? Maybe when we pack a card it only goes to the guy who’s packed that card the most that month?

They've 'phoned it in, it seems.'
-
But, I feel for SDS a little in these disputes - if they do a long grindy path with good rewards at the end, people complain that they can't finish. If they do short path, people complain that there isn't enough to do, or enough rewards.
Now, the answer might be that you could have the longer path in TA, or somewhere else.
But there's always this push-pull between people who want stuff easy and quick, and people who actually enjoy the grind process.
-
@rubicante23_PSN The solution is simple though. Move the boss pack up. Make everything after the boss, packs. Give us more things to do. Add a multiplayer program wheel with rewind packs.
-
They decided to go full scum this inning by throttling XP. Last inning during double XP, I was getting 6-10k playing 9 inning games and this time I got 4-6k per game. My bud had to score 40+ runs to reach 10k. I reached that last by scoring half those runs last inning. I only needed 125k for the weekend and should've reached 500k easily , but I only earned 30k before being bored out of mind and giving up on the inning. I think it's time just leave the game to the cheats and sweats at this piont.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I could be wrong but in years past wasn’t it 2 boss packs and u get one much earlier then the final pack.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN you’re right. now we only get to choose one of two bosses instead of 2 of 3. (Schwarber was the mini-boss first inning so it was fine, but Bobby Doerr?)
