June countdown yikes

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL Wait Ramone left??? Where’d he go?
He is still there but he got 'soft fired' and they put him on the negro leagues portion of the game. So they pigeonholed him into doing one thing instead of doing many things and being the face of the game.
I miss the dude. I’d like to see Dolenz take his old position
They dropped the ball once they stopped communicating with the fanbase and answer with cricket chirps

yeah when Ramone and the other 3/4 guys were the face of the game with the previous management, this series was top notch. Not perfect but they seemed to actually care about what players wanted offline and online. PLAY HOW YOU WANT was a real thing.

LuvMyXBOX_XBL Congrats! Maybe search for a baserunning video on YouTube I guess? That's all I can do 4u. There are hundreds of reasons to complain about this game but I don't think this is one. Also, I didn't say I do it. I try not to give up outs on the bases. However I don't blame anyone but myself if someone catches me off guard. Ever heard a base coach say "turn and look" There's a reason for that ya know?

been a while since I played and saw this new program today and yeah, forcing us to play online is b.s. they got me to try events this year and I'm ok with that but ranked??? no way. I don't even want to touch that mode.
as for ppl in this thread saying PLAY YOUR WAY, it's not been Play Your Way the last 3 years when this new management team took over. When Ramone was the face of the game it definitely was, but it hasn't been since these new guys took over.
Anyway, I use to play this game from release to next release but last 2 iterations I have not since CFB ususally comes out in early July. I'm planning to spend more time again this year with CFB next week and probably not be as dedicated to this game. Maybe I'll do the topps now weekly program (or whatever the new name of the program is now), but that's about it.
It was good timing by SDS to release this screw job of a program to offline players. we now all know where they're coming from and where this game is headed going forward.
Prior to 3 years ago, how were you getting world series rewards and BR rewards by playing offline?

I wasn't. Never touched BR/WS Ranked, nothing online.
I was playing programs only when they gave you the option to finish those programs online OR offline.

Right, so there have always been certain cards you could only get by playing online.

or buying them with stubs earned by playing offline - NMS
but really never had the need to since I was happy w/ the cards you get offline and never needing to play online.

I don’t have several milestone cards and am missing a ton of mini seasons rewards because I can’t stand playing against the CPU. Don’t have Dominguez, Bichette, etc because I hate doing Conquest.
You don’t see me on here crying about the rewards not being available to me.
I just move on and don’t get the cards. LMAO -
@JenkinMeyer_PSN nothing wrong with being bad at the game bro. At least you are trying. Enjoy yourself. Most online players are cool. We all know how hard the game is. I feel like alot of offline players may just take losing so seriously. Its not that deep. This game is hard! No one judges you. Ive been crushed and ill get a message saying thank you for hanging in there. We know.

Totally get that. Up until a few years ago I never used to play online either. And I knew that meant there were some cards I might not get. I was just asking because you said that up until 3 years ago you could "play your way" and now you can't, but my memory was that there have always been certain rewards earned online only.

I am skipping out because online is full of cheaters, bots and general toxic players.
Since this gets repeated over and over by those that don't play online, I think its worth repeating again that this is not accurate. Its not full of cheaters, bots and toxic players at all.
Cheaters and bots, no. But I honestly get a dashboarder like every 4th game or so. Its to the point where I hit a home run and expect a quit, exhaling when I see the distance pop up and I can keep my stats.
-
Sigh….. just looked at the “countdown” rewards.
EIGHTY THOUSAND worth of XP that is not available to how I like to play. This will be ANOTHER inning where I do not finish the Inning and get a boss. That makes me 0-4….
“Not great, Bob”.
-
To get the lowest tier reward (and unlock the medium missions), I'd have to:
Pay Nintendo $3.99
Then hit enough singles in a single game to steal two bases.I don't think I like the complete all to unlock next tier thing.
-
@betamax0_nsw I managed to do it, try it
-
@betamax0_NSW u don’t trust urself to hit 2 singles ? Cause stealing ain’t hard in this game.
-

Me too. I actually played more this past month than most of the months before (but still less than many do) and I am only at 138K
It's gotten to the point where I had to look up who the bosses even were since I know that they are out of reach, There is little chance that I play 2.5 times more than I did this past inning program.
-
I have spun the wheel twice already, and I was gone for 11 days during this inning. I did not do any of the June Program except the fist 20 or 30 stars (not enough to even get Britton). How are some of you still not getting enough XP for the innings?
EDIT: I forgot, I did play 5 event games and got some multiplayer XP points for that. Went 3-2 (one win was an immediate disconnect before the game started, so that doesn't really count). But still, there's like 10 days left in this inning.

Cause stealing ain’t hard in this game.
Honestly, I feel like stealing depends on who has the connection advantage...my 99/99 guys constantly have a 1 second input delay that causes them to get thrown out. I could also just be dogwater at reading the pitcher

I'm a total bot at stealing. I just point to the runner and hit the steal button and rely on the RNG jump lol (I don't steal online unless it's for a mission).

@JDHalfrack_PSN don’t get them started on this again lol.
