    Hey quick question. Is xp calculated the same as pxp? Just curious as I'm trying to find a balance between fun and the grind. I'm 48 work a job and a PT job, have a kid in travel ball. I mainly play on weekends. Mostly offline only, although this year I'm dipping toes in online as it's almost required. Started the year playing on veteran, moved up to AS to try to get additional xp. I only made the boss once, last inning. Is it better to play on veteran and be a little more successful vs AS and the boost to xp? I like how AS plays vs veteran, but the pitchers living on the edges is killing me. Sometimes I just want to rack up some runs without concentrating every at bat.

    If you're dabbling a bit online as well then it makes sense to play all star as often as possible to keep timing consistent. However, sometimes mashing on rookie or veteran is fun although I notice that I don't score that many more runs on rookie than all star this year lol

    PXP is affected by difficulty, gameplay xp is not.

    Pretty sure gameplay XP is affected by difficulty as well.

    @Finn_Scotus_MLBTS It used to be, I think they changed that when they hacked up XP gains a few years back

    If I strike out the side on veteran, it nets me 99 XP that inning. If I strike out the side on rookie I get less (90 I think). I assume all other stats have similar variances.
    I could be wrong, just my observations though.

    What was interesting during double XP week was that if you struck out the side, you would have expected 99x2 or 198 XP.

    What I consistently saw was 195 XP. Weird.

    @Finn_Scotus_MLBTS I think the type of inning you have plays into it....I think, and I could be wrong- you get more XP for pitching out of a jam than an overpowering 3 up 3 down inning, like you get a touch more for escaping a "dangerous" inning?
