    Love the posts saying to suck it up and play online to get the rest of the xp for the Bosses. Thank you for making my point.

    @Precisionist99_XBL or don’t and make it harder for yourself. Then come in here and complain about it. Even if you don’t play online you should still be getting the boss. You get 238k just for completing all offline missions, programs, and each mini seasons for the first time. And that’s not counting the gameplay xp you get for an individual game.

    I played absolutely no H2H games this path, like I said I am 30k from finishing. They absolutely don't need to drop it anymore then it will be too easy. 500k was impossible for me because because I can't live on this game. 400k is a good balance not impossible but still a challenging grind. That where it needs to be. A challenging grind but not out of reach. I find that playing 7 9 inning miniseason games is the sweet spot to grind xp. You get the missions but you also can get more gameplay XP. Playing 28 9 inning games is insanity and I feel that playing 3 inning games are very limiting, sure you can get the volume but the gameplay xp is limited. There is plenty xp floating around my issue is time in my busy life. 400k has been challenging but doable. When I hit it probably sometime this weekend, it will be the first since I bought this game that I feel I am going to be rewarded for my efforts.

    402, 043, baby!! Now I can just play NHL this week.
    I chose Lindor, but with no secondaries really blows. I'm pretty sure he can play 2B irl.
    He better be as good as my team MVP, the immortal Jesus Made who is now 'forced' to the bench, sadly.
    I don't know if he'd be good online, on Legend with 76 vision, but his Spring Breakout card is a legend! I put a Contact Mod on at P5.

    @TheGoaler_PSN Shortstops have implied 2B, 3B and CF secondaries

    Gave up on it for this inning. Saving Program XP for the next one, although it’s doubtful I will play the game enough to complete the path the rest of the year. Feels good to have broken my MLB FOMO habit. Mostly doing other things. Will play Forza and a few other games, plus reading and watching real baseball a lot.

    If you're not completing the path, you're just not playing the game enough. And thats fine, there's nothing wrong with that - you're probably doing something better instead, so good for you.

    But dont come in complaining that its just so hard.

    You aren't wrong, but its also true that the path requires far more investment than previous years for less return.

    Thats my bigger issue, the path itself sucks.

    I have 40k xp to go and was going to grind it out over the weekend until I noticed that it didn’t seem possible since I let my online pass lapse. I only played online when events required it and it just wasn’t enjoyable for me to get crushed every game. Ive kept playing online in the past because I hoped things would get fixed to improve the game but it seems pretty clear that nobody is fixing or improving anything. I know the multiplayer inning is based on online stuff but didn’t realize the offline inning requires multiple xp rewards from events and battle royal. Even with double xp it seemed unreachable so I didn’t even try to grind. I like this game so much and so fed up with it at the same time. I hate to say it, and not like anybody cares, but I’m losing interest. fast.

    The problem is IF your an offline player after you do the offline stuff - conquests , MS etc it's just a pure mind numbing grind.

    My solution is this -- make the XP rewards a little better like example the weekly Spotlight instead of 2500 make it 3k --- Conquest maps 5k instead of 4k - -they were 5k last year most of them if i recall. -- then buff raw XP gain by 10 to 15% and then keep the XP path at 400k. Also extend Double XP at least one more day IF you cannot have the class to make it like last year and do it for a week.

    Kind of simple but NOPE SDS are scumbags -- cause mark my words within 2 months everything will change after the realize they have milked you all for what your worth.

    After all the justified criticism of the lack of XP in Innings two, how are we all doing this innings?

    They reduced the amount needed for the boss, although the lack of XP (due to a lack of consistent content) is still a real issue.

    So, where are we all at?

    Still 40k away….

    Not sure where to post this, but I guess it’s related to this XP Path thread….

    Just played a 9 inning Cityscape mini season game. On Veteran. scored 10 runs on 15 hits. Gave up 2. Got a 3-inning save out of it. Homers, doubles, triples, stolen bases.

    Got 2,167 XP. You read that right. 2-1-6-7.

    Sheesh. And for that, I just passed the 320k mark and got (drum roll please)….1500 stubs.

    At this rate, I’ll need to play at about 10 more 9 inning mini season games to JUST GET the Live Series 85+ pack.

    This is ridiculous. I have stronger words, but they’d be censored.

    You had a whole month. Plus double xp weekend. Plenty of people made it. Especially since they lowered it by 100k. So by all means use those strong words you use on every inconvenience.

    I'm about 350k but I haven't tried to finish it or I would. Definitely easier than last time though.
