SDS apologists today: "its CHEATING when someone wants to dedicate their time to playing a boring game mode in the way it was designed by SDS"
all hail SDS! they can do no wrong. lol

So I didn't know about th HR derby thing until last night.... I thought I would see how much XP I got. I payed 2 full rounds and won them both but I didn't see much XP at all? What exactly was happening and how were they getting alot of XP?

nothing was happening. the game was rewarding XP EXACTLY how SDS designed it to - 25XP per HR hit in the derby.
SDS greed/ignorance kicked in because people were dedicating their lives to that mode, I guess. but they nerfed it to 8XP per HR moving forward.
not sure how anyone can call it an exploit or cheat. but SDS sheep gonna be SDS sheep.

Yeeeahhhhh..... That doesn't even seem like alot of XP....... If you hit like 60 HR's that's only 1,500. You can complete Showdown and get like 12 or 13,000 isn't it ? As far as I am concerned they can have 25XP for such a boring mode....
-
i did it twice when close to leveling up for the bigger XP rewards like silver 40.
its an incredibly boring experience. but if people wanna "waste" their time in the mode, who cares?
apparently SDS cares enough to nerf it. just a shame that they can modify modes in ways that only seem to benefit their bottom line.

For the people who complete collections and play the DD mode in versus.. showdown.. conquest.. and get the XP by earning it. Playing HR Derby for all of your XP shouldn't reward you with cards and other rewards that are not meant to be obtained so quickly. It's not a grind. It's exploiting a glitch.
Playing a single mode for 5 hours is defienlty a grind. It’s so pointless. If you wanna sit there for 5 hours playing a mode like he derby. Yeah you should get xp
So your telling me people who sit and play something so mind numbly boring that takes no skill should be awarded more XP than those that complete collections for as many teams as possible? Yeah ok. Sure it's a grind.. a extremely tedious one. It's still exploiting a glitch. The HR Derby wasn't designed to give that much XP. That's why they are patching it. I don't really blame SDS.. they would think people bought their game to play and try to get cards.. not play a mode for 10 hours out of a 24 hour day. Lol.. but sure .. big time grind.
If they only wanted people to play the game, earn cards, and complete collections then it wouldn’t be possible to drop some cash into the game and knock it out the first week. Why are they not nerfing collection XP?

i like when he says 'the HR derby wasnt designed to give that much XP'
thats just grade A level ignorance by an SDS apologist.
SDS programmed to reward 25xp per HR. and now they're nerfing it because they didnt like how fast people were gaining XP.
again, what's so hard for people to grasp about that?
It's not a bug or glitch. its SDS changing the terms of their game after the fact, to suit their needs.

I don't consider the HRD XP to be an exploit. I think it was just something that SDS never considered, that people would grind HRD for 50 or 60 hours in the first month to get to Prestige level.
The MTO double points thing was a bug, as such if you knew it was a bug (and we all knew it) and took advantage of it as much as possible while it was in the game then it is an exploit.

Agreed. 25 xp per hr was in the game for years. It was like people farming xp using boring methods in any other online game.
MTO double points was a bug, they fixed it.
Play vs CPU with a zero rated pitcher was an exploit, they fixed it. No punishment for the people with 500+ single game run records though...
HR derby was not a bug or exploit. Just an XP farm, that had been that way for years.

We also bought the game thinking it would work in a somewhat proper way and that any gameplay issues could be resolved at the same speed that boosted XP earnings are nerfed. They’re focusing on the wrong exploits and issues. Yes those things need to be addressed but leveling up is part of the game. Dropping a fly ball you’re locked under or hitting a perfect/perfect line out while giving up homeruns on early/ok and bad pci placement. If the game worked as it should people wouldn’t gravitate to other modes to find those XP issues.
This is a the dumbest reply ever. One is an easy fix so yes they should fix it right away. Do you even have a basic understanding of science? What makes you think a perfect/perfect should be a hit or HR every time? Grow up child
Well it’s a video game so science shouldn’t really be taken into account. This 24 year old child played baseball from 5-22 so I think I know a little bit about how the sport works. But alright let’s go back to the science. I’ve been late with timing and hit pulled a ball foul in this game before. Explain that science.

There are these little things on baseballs called stiching...when it bounces off of a smooth round surface the results are not consistent. Clearly you never played baseball or just never took a science class. My god you people think everytime you hit the ball it should be a HR

It didn’t say they were going to discontinue that XP, but reduce it... but I wonder by how much?
instead of 25 xp per HR, you get 8.

The irony...sit down child and grow up
The irony lies in someone professing to be an adult and tell others to grow up while rocking a gamer tag that is a play on a feminine hygiene product

I mean... Just because the game doesn't work appropriately for everyone on this forum still doesn't mean you should be able to make your team OP by exploiting something that wasn't working right. It's May 1st. These guys have already maxed out XP. They have Thames Springer Ramirez. For exploiting a glitch. Mean while people paid money in these tough times to try and get closer to get Biggio Sheffield Mantle. I mean... There isn't much difference between those 6 99s except name value. Should the game play be fixed? Absolutely. Do they want to fix it? Of course. Is it frustrating? Yes... I haven't seen anyone on the forum complain about getting bogus XP and virtually have a end game team 6 weeks into the game cycle.
HR derby gave 25xp per HR hit. that's it. that's not an exploit. it's simply clear/transparent rewards for those that want to play a game mode included by SDS.
this isn't SDS fixing a glitch. it's them nerfing another aspect of the game that didn't need touched.
im curious what a hr gets you now. Plus for YEARS its been 25 pts per homerun. Never was touched before. Its very boring, but I did play a bit with my kids since they really arent that good, plus it helped good ole dad get closer to 300 stars. I am bummed about the MTO fix, as i was planning on actually playing that mode, but 8-10 hours for half a stage done, seems overkill. I do like the showdown mode, but Fielding should be their priority #1. Yes they are here to make money, all businesses are. Fixing the glitches should be a priority, but fixing a quality product should be the #1 priority I feel.
its down to 8XP per HR. thats according to posts on Reddit.

At no point did I ever say those game results should be homeruns. My point is that the game is so [censored] I n g broken that when players think they did something good in real baseball, the video game does the complete opposite. Have no issues with it, but the amount of times that people on this forum playing the game have documented their struggles and the opponent wins with a bloop and blast... yea that’s not baseball anymore. This sport is n designed for anything to be planned and that’s why it’s the greatest sport in the world. Every pitch, every situation is unique and can change the turnout of the game. But in the video game it’s not like that and when the game can’t abide by simple f’n baseball that’s when we riot like we are. Reduce XP, make packs worse pull odds, just give us a somewhat reasonable and fair game to play. You wanna talk pitching too? When it’s 0-2 and I aim a ball at the catchers feet with perfect accuracy and it hangs over the middle and travels 450 feet, is that me complaining it’s not real or is it just so asinine and impossible that we lose our minds when it happens. Idk how you see baseball played pal but this ain’t it.
wah wah wah the game is broken because when I hit the ball it isn't a guaranteed homerun wah wah wah. The game isnt broken you are just uneducated. Tell me more about NO baseball games ever end with a bloop and blast. Tell me more about the simple rules of baseball this game somehow doesnt follow. You clearly never watch baseball if you think every pitch hits every spot everytime
I mean I just tried to lol. Idw a game that always has homeruns. I would rather play a game and enjoy going base to base, taking chances with runners. But go ahead keep calling me a wee little cry baby. You can bag on me all you want but not seeing issues in this game either means you have a serious issue to get checked out, or someone’s gotta be funneling money to you to defend this game and not even comeback with simple examples.
