    They patched two things that I didn't think really needed to be patching. The perfect jump stealing (not sure how they fixed it). If they made it so pitchers just slide step more than is fine. I just hope they don't have the pitchers throwing over every time we take a lead now. Also, MTO shouldn't have been patched for "double points" at least not if you have to complete Stage 1 and 2 still. I can see if you only have stage two left. I am still not sure how they patched Retro Modes/HRD XP because it doesn't say they made it zero so I am curious how much they actually reduced it.

    Ahh i forgot about the perfect jump. See, I had my own method, not really sure if I was doing it right lol. Kinda sucks that i’ll ground into more double plays on showdown. Also, I can’t imagine the xp from offline modes to be anywhere near where it was was before.

    Doesn't matter how much it is AFK XP is still AFK XP. A little or a lot its still something....just saying

    That’s facts, and I wonder how it’ll work out. I feel like if they just cap the amount of xp from one retro game it could easily be fixed.

    I honestly think the offline mode XP is all tied together in a set of code that would have to edit the whole thing to be honest which is why almost everything was edited.

    And that may very much so be the case, and as long as conquest and showdown aren’t tweaked, that’s great.

    Conquest isn't offline technically but I bet you Franchise games XP is tweaked they just didn't mention it because who the hell is playing Franchise that cares about XP.

    At this point who’s playing franchise mode. They have no updates to it every single year. And it probably sounds like I’m just whining but I don’t intend to. I really enjoy DD and have OTTP for when I want a franchise experience. I’m just saying we can agree there is no effort put into franchise mode in the show

    All you have to do is play the game to earn XP. I’d rather they nerfed the amount of XP you can gain in modes that are being exploited than cap the amount you can earn per day, although I suppose the cap is generous enough most people won’t hit it anyway.

    HR derby was not an exploit. you received 25xp per HR hit. exactly how it was programmed by SDS. shame on them for nerfing that.

    and it sets the example that they will restrict rewards in this game whenever it fits their needs, not the player base. it's greed, pure and simple.

    Not happy about losing double points on MTO. They all but acknowledged that S1 Showdowns are bull [censored]. It was the only fucking way to get points for teams in the East, those two Showdowns are bitches.

    Yeah they should totes not patch glitches because you like to exploit them...that is totally the right way of doing things

    how am i wrong? there was no exploit. you played a mode that gave you 25xp per HR. it's that simple. they reduced the amount per HR. what are you missing here?

    I can’t remember, but did it say XP would be affected in RTTS?
    If I get to where I’m satisfied in the inning programs, sometimes I’ll jump over to RTTS to bang out some XP. (Haven’t done it lately bc there’s been a decent amount of content added on DD). You’re able to get a decent amount from pitching a game, especially if you have quality starts, shutouts, go deep in the late innings, etc.

    Playing a casual mode for the sole purpose of gaining rewards in a completely unrelated different mode is exploiting. It doesn’t matter if it was 25xp per HR in years past. There was no issue with HRD grinding for XP in previous years. None. Blame the losers who had to have the prestige rewards in April instead of getting them over time like you were supposed to. Other people cheating the system and SDS fixing it is not anyones fault but the people that were cheating

    lol playing a casual mode in the way it was designed by SDS is exploiting?

    who are you or SDS to dictate how a game should be played, especially when its being played within the way it was programmed?

    my god the SDS sheep have reached a new level!

    this is just false. the XP per HR has not changed in years.

    youre just a garbage troll. try harder.

    oh the irony...a troll calls me a troll. No, I am right and it was higher than they planned. So try again troll

    in every thread all you do is tell someone they are wrong and insult and dismiss them. not one original thought or comment or solution comes from you. you are the prime example of a troll. you add nothing of value to this community. you are the one who is pathetic, offering nothing but swings and misses.

    I love irony. Tell me more about yoru original thoughts..."wah wah an exploit was fixed wah wah". You have not a single post with a rational or mature comment or thought. But do go on adding nothing of value while trying to talk down to your superior

    Like I said in my post, I actually congratulate all people who sat and grounded homerun derby because it is so mind numbingly boring to the point that i can’t play it. If it’s a problem to you, I recommend trying showdown because it has great rewards. Also, i’ve found it to be extremely fun besides when I ground into double plays and everyone is a platinum glove defender.. haha

    Bad arguments can fail on their own merits, we don't have to snipe at each other. We can make this forum a good place, its 100% up to us. Block trolls, give people the benefit of the doubt and don't throw insults... boom. Fixed.

    Respectfully, I am glad they patched the XP gap. I spend no money on the game, because I enjoy building a team over time. If you don't have scarcity, the cards mean nothing. I would be perfectly fine if you couldn't get diamonds at all till a month in. There have to be things to work for. Also, when someone gets a ton of xp for not even playing the game we are, it upsets the competitive balance. I want to compete against other people on the same footing, not with people who completed Mantle by exploiting retro mode.
