I won't be able to complete 2nd inning in time

100% agree. I wonder what kind of data they have telling them online spend more than offline?
I’m my opinion most competitive online players just focus on the meta cards and ignore most of the other cards unless they are required by a collection for another meta cards. Conversely, offline players like myself like to collect most if not all of the cards so we need to buy the cards that are obtained playing online. In other words I would wager offline players spend at least as much, if not more, than most online players.
Additionally, how many online players brag about being NMS. You never hear an offline player make that claim. Most offline players will buy stubs if it seems like it’s worth it. I usually buy a few early on, nothing crazy, and then rely on playing the game and flipping to get the remaining cards.
I feel SDS has misread the room big time on this one and could be pushing away some of their biggest spenders aside from steamers which just write off the thousands of dollars they spend on stubs anyway. Guess time will tell but if they continue down this path they are likely in for a ride awakening.

Teak - I might be right there with ya on '23 lol. I can't play '26 much longer.
TripleH - Are offline players buying live series? You can literally play with those players on other offline modes. I know streamers spend $2,000+ on opening night getting that done. Do offline players?

I've literally never struggled finishing the 500k but the fact that they put the bosses at the end and mixed with not a ton of program xp it was tough. I finished over the weekend and got a few spins but I played more than I typically need to. The first inning was ridiculously easy and I got bored and finished TA before the 2nd inning started. It's a legit complaint from people.
-
I don’t buy them per se. I’m still missing 12 live series high diamonds and I’m not buying them with real money. Usually I would put some money in early to help get kick started until flipping becomes viable. I was able to collect every card in the game for 21-25 but this year I’m likely abandoning that goal. My pack pulls have been terrible and I’m tired of being nickel and dimed on rewards and XP in this year’s game.
-
All I meant was I feel like online players don’t care about most cards in the game. They just want the meta cards to leverage the built in game mechanics. The only exceptions are content creators so they can “debut” the new card.
Offline players like me tend to like the collecting aspect of the game and focus less on meta players. Just my own opinion and what I’ve seen in the forums and thru playing this game for many years.

I was able to finish it pretty easily by just completing the programs and playing normally. Definitely slower than the 1st inning but I got the boss last weekend and have had I think 3 or 4 wheel spins so far.
-
I need 10000 xp with 1 day to go. Everything has been done. Any ideas how I might get it?
There's a program dropping today, might have what you need.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS How many TA did you finish in the first inning?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN All of them. Thats why the 1st inning was definitely faster.
EDIT: I should add I mean I finished the regular TA paths, not the #1 fan stuff or whatever its called. I don't even look at those and not trying to complete them.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS Yeah, that’s what I meant. The #1 fan stuff doesn’t have any xp in it.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Oh haha, see I didn't even know the #1 fan stuff had no XP, thats how much I have looked at them.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS You should look at it though. Lots of free packs.

Hopefully a lot because it seems many of us are in the same boat. I’m only at 335,000 myself and the progress has been painfully slow.
I'm at 380,000 and I don't think I'm going to make it. I'm really doubtful. I've been going through TA and getting up to the 4500 XP reward before going to the next one. Really scraping the bottom of the pan for the XP here
-
@palmerjones_PSN Hough, 15,000 xp. It may help me but idk how much. I'll have to go to work shortly so can't grind it now

Only 20k XP in the Witt program which isn't enough to get me to 500k (first time ever) so I'll just do something else tonight and save that for the weekend.

I know that the very last inning program will let us earn the bosses later... hopefully I'll have enough stubs saved up to get the other one when that happens. If I can't reach the boss this inning.
First time ever I haven't been able to complete an inning program. Man.

Here's the problem with the "YoU jUsT hAvE tO gRiNd" argument. I am playing the same amount I did last year. I completed every Inning program including many wheel spins last year. They also had much more offline content last year. Yet this year I have yet to finish an Inning program, and am going to be short on this one as well. You want to stand on a pedestal and have us worship you that you are the greatest gamer of all time because YOU finished the program but the rest of us aren't worthy and it should only be awarded to GREAT gamers like you, have fun with the delusion dude. Here's the facts though, the more of us disappointed with content, not finishing innings and getting rewards, the more of us SKIP buying this game next year.

Play online. It’s a huge chunk of XP. I do both and have no problem. I only game at night once my wife and 2 kids go to sleep. I work as well. It can be done. Suck it up and do online.
-
I have about 144k to go. I've accepted that this year I likely won't see any of the bosses this year unless they actually add good chunks of XP and change up the inning paths
