There is not enough XP rewarded across the board in this game
-
I'm gonna get the specifics wrong, but if anyone remembers from the Show 16, there were like 3 or 4 bosses or categories. You'd pick one or assign it as your 'live' category and any XP (or whatever the measurement of progress was for 16) you'd earn would get attributed to progress under that particular category. You were in complete control and could change it at any point and start earning progress in one of the other categories.
A similar concept might be helpful for these programs. i.e. if we get to the second inning and you missed completing the first inning program, you could assign the first inning program as your 'live' program. All in-game XP that is earned would accumulate under the first inning program. Any program-specific things such as conquest maps or showdown would only apply to the inning program they were created for, but this would allow people to go back and complete programs they might not have had time for previously.
Inning programs offer progressively better rewards with each inning so the incentive would still be to have the current program as your 'live' one for in-game XP, but this would allow people the flexibility to go back and complete things if life/work gets in the way.

Just like years before they will look at xp after the first inning is finished and adjust accordingly
-
And what do you know. Eric Davis program is 35,000 XP add another player program, the showdown (which will be worth more XP) and that's basically half the program worth
-
Of course. It’s not like they didn’t calculate or test this before. Maybe the dramatic crybabies can relax a little now
-
35k for player program is nice. I expected much less xp, but this is good. Maybe SDS are adjusting a little
-
Biggest issue is daily missions being worthless and only worth as much as about a 1/2 inning!! They are 10x less useful then they have in the past. Seems like they missed a zero for the daily missions because they are pointless to worry about.

Keep fueling the toxicity before the full game drops. Great way to welcome in those new XB users.

There is also double XP this coming weekend, which was likely planned from the start. good enough for you all?

I’m not here to please anybody else buddy. I call it like I see it.

I have 80k already after one day online and I haven't even finished most of the content yet. It seems like they're so generous with the XP you get for just playing the game that you almost don't even need to worry about the specific program tasks. I think some people are really overthinking this. For pretty much everyone who's able to put a minimal amount of effort into it, there will be more than enough time to earn a boss. Anything after that is just intended to be a bonus for the true diehards who play all day every day so they still have a reason to keep going.

Quit searching for ways to earn XP and just play the game and you will have an easier time getting there. I'm at 85,000 XP myself and I haven't even played as much as I like
Yeah, I’ve played maybe 10-12 hours since launch and I’m at 260k. Conquests, moments, nothing online yet, piles up quick when you can’t hit those 3 xbh with McMahon, made 9k just failing that for an hour+

23+ hours of game played and I have 123k xp... 113 games played ( most offline ) grinding atm to get a decent team ( no money spent )
However I haven't finished the 1st inning collection 50k xp ( 8 x 42 series card ) im at 4 right now ( sold P. Martinez and H. Aaron for stubs for Live collection ) or I would be at 6 total but the Live collection is my priority
And.. I havent finish the 1st inning conquest map
These 2 will give me 65k and maybe take another +/- 7 hours of gameplay
So quick calculation after 30 hours of gameplay I should be around 200k
Counting that I wont be able to get much after all these are completed because moments and conquest maps will be done
I will counting on playing games, daily missions ( roughly 1000 xp/day ) for xp
The 200k and over xp progress will take much longer to process....
OMG this is nonsense.
Im not complaining just stating the factsWhat? I call bs or you ain’t doing it right, I’m over 200k. It’s only been like 3 days , if you at 123 you will easy make boss bu the time the season ends
-
It’s sort of discouraging. I’ve grinder my tail off so far , sitting at star rank 20. My buddy played first inning conquest and a single season of March to october and somehow got all 650k xp for it.

honestly wouldnt be as bad if collections still gave you XP.

Agreed. But that would only really help you early on. What would you do to get xp for second and third inning programs and so on?

You got 20 days to do it. They probably just want people to space it out. Its not meant to be grinded in a weekend. Ive been playing since Friday and even with all the disconnects, I'm at 175K...and i have a life, a job, etc. At the rate Im gaining, i'll have 350K by Thursday and I'll have the program done by the end of next week.
I'm nowhere near saying I need to do it on first weekend. In my previous post I said I'm at 150k right now. But it's just because I played 30 hours in 3 days... If you have job, family and some other things in your life, you can't play so much everyday. My normal playing time is about 2-4 hours max and I'm not playing everyday
@Born2beWild007_PSN : Yes, you get 1500 xp for 3 inning game. But if you do some math, you need 233 three inning games for 350k. That's 11 games per day. And if we say each game is taking 20 minutes, you are still at 4 hours playing everyday...
I think it't too much and last year was a lot more friendly to normal players with families, jobs and so on.
And here you can't say it's time or money, because you can't buy xp (which I would never do)You can actually get a lot more XP then I mentioned. You get 1500+ for each win just playing on Veteran's difficulty but yes, it would still be at at least 3 hours a day which for many isn't too bad.
On the other hand we're talking about struggling to get to 350k when you actually need 650 to finish everything. Clearly that, or anything even close is totally impossible at this point.
It would seem one solution would to give us more days.I haven't played MLB for 3-4 years so much has changed. There must be much more content coming to make 650k achievable? Which I guess would mean downgrading the rewards along the way....
650k is only mean to be achieved by hardcore grinders
Yeah except several people have been given all 650k xp due to some glitch so to be fair , we’re not all on an even playing field.
-
Agreed.
They also removed XP from ranked season promotions, as well as took the XP out of the various non-inning-related collections you do.
-
Aren't they doing double xp weekend this weekend starting Friday 4/23?

its ridiculous that you don't get xp for completing collections. the stubs you get for completing collections arent nearly enough to make up for no xp either.
