I won't be able to complete 2nd inning in time
-
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
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
-
I had to play three Mini Seasons of 3 innings for 7 games each to get the xp needed for 500K. I typically save Mini Seasons and Conquest for the end of the year so I have stuff to do in the winter but they forced my hand this time. I even played online and it was down to the last minute for this inning.

They shouldn't have to suck it up though man. Have a bit of empathy and think about what you use this game for. Unwinding after a tough day working and being a Dad. I enjoy mindlessly beating the computer sometimes on rookie because I find it relaxing and after my kids go to bed, my eyes are tired honestly. There's no reason the boss pack can't be at 300k or so. This was literally the toughest inning I've seen and offline content is way down and it seems like the thought is just grind short mini seasons and I'm personally doing that but it's not worth xp after the first time. Point is, people shouldn't have to suck up playing a way they don't want to when they never used to. It's a change to drive profitability without much of anything coming back to the user base in terms of improvements.

@Thongypu_PSN This game used to be play your way. They used to talk about grind 99. That game is dead.

I’ve said this in multiple threads. All SDS has to do is add a repeatable 5k PXP mission for 5k XP and no one would complain.
Earn it offline or online. Doesn’t matter. So easy, even a caveman can do it.
-
The funny thing is they finally drop a program that may take a little effort to finish. This is good!
But they drop it the last day of an in inning, on a Thursday night, where people may have been desperate for that last 20k
First inning Ive never completed and I typically get a dozen or so wheel spins. I probably could complete it tonight but Ive already done enough miniseasons runs this year. I also have all the online PxP save the last 20K node and the path to it isnt short and I have no desire to play online today.

The 20k from the Witt program will get me……. a single Show pack!!!
Need over 30 k to get the three WBC cards.
Yeah, it’s bad… I’m literally over 200k short this inning. Never been here before. My 6th year playing.
-
Started the morning at 440k. All content is done except for Witt's 7th step, which is worth 10k. I played a 3 inning conquest game and a 9 inning mini-season game (7 - 1). Now I'm sitting at 441,969. This is absolutely laughable at this point.
-
Boss moved down to 400k for the 3rd inning, and more XP being offered in the missions.
-
they’re listening!

I think the missions give less xp actually, they top out at 7500, pretty sure they were 10k last inning
The spotlight and cornerstone give the same as last inning though -

EXACTLY!!!

Is there a way to verify exactly how much off-line content they had last year? I keep hearing this commentary about having less off-line content this year, but I feel like I’ve been way more engaged playing the game this year than last year.
-
I put in all the time that I could, played a few MS, completed Conquest, and was only able to get to 407k (I think, I’m at work now). The way it is now is really a grind.

Looks like last year
6 DQ maps (excluding starter)
3 Mini seasons
18 conquest maps (excluding starters), but 4 of those were city connectThis year we have 3 DQ (excluding starter), one of which is essentially a second starter
4 Mini seasons
10 conquest maps excluding startersNote that people were still working through the bite sized TA pieces available, as it devolved to Hits/Hrs/Ks a bit slower last year. Also some of the programs took a bit more effort but still not much grind
At this point last year the big complaint was lack of good repeatable content outside of DQ so they dropped 3s map in mid may (not included above). Offline content wasn't great last year early on (unless you liked DQ), it picked up around the all star break when mini seasons became much more frequent and the draft map dropped
2026 had an amazing launch but the period in between new threads and cityscapes was awful. Getting a decent sized conquest on an inning drop is a start right after Witt program, lets see what the rest of the week brigs
