Extend First Inning Program
-
I’m not asking for any free content, but due to the server issues I really think the 1st Inning Program should be extended by a week or two.
-
We should also get free content. Not playing a game when you sell "early access" ? That's a malpractice.
-
If they did that, it would delay the 2nd inning program, which will likely have better cards.

Or shorten every program from here on out

I agree some type of compensation needs to come from SDS for the server issues etc.
But I don’t think that you need more time...there’s still 8 days. At first, I was worried I wouldn’t get the XP but I’ve done both conquest maps for the inning plus the USA map and a few others
Pair that with grinding showdown for team affinity and completing the player programs and Topps now moments, I made enough XP with only playing 2 RS games and less than 10 event games
What I’m saying is, if you focus your time towards the right things, you can at least hit 350k and get the boss.
I hope they don’t extend it bc it’ll impact some program or content down the line
Edit: I’ll also acknowledge that I was fortunate to earn at least normal XP while playing. I know others didn’t. So, if they extend it that would be the right thing to do. I guess they could just push every future inning program back by how long they extend this one

My guess is once they get things straightened out completely we'll get like a 10 pack as compensation. And if their #s show that only a small percentage of the player base was able to claim the 1st inning boss pack in the timeframe most likely what they will do is put a 1st inning boss pack into the early part of the 2nd inning program. i think these are the most likely to happen from SDS.

I think the 10 pack is the most likely outcome. The price of the boss cards will be an indication of how many end up getting the pack. Last I checked they where down to 32k sell now with 8 days to go. This would indicate people are not having an issue getting to 350k. I get some can't play alot due to their own situation but there is no way SDS will satisfy everyone who feels wronged from the server issues

I wouldn't necessarily go by stub price. The 1st inning bosses aren't really highly regarded guys and the low price of them can be due to that as well as with parallels ppl can be selling the boss driving down the price to acquire stubs this early on. SDS definitely has access to the backend #s showing how many unique users they have playing the game and what % of that base was able to claim the 1st inning boss by may 7th. I'm sure they have an internal # that they have calculated out prior to dropping the game that they want to hit. The #s in the inning program didn't just come out of thin air in other words.
-
The other thing to consider in regards to the price of the 1st inning bosses is last year we knew about the jump start collection for the next inning ahead of time so ppl bought up the other 2 bosses each inning for that reason increasing the price of the bosses. We do not have that foreknowledge this year and with the changes in the inning structure we cannot assume that set will be available. So many more might be selling their bosses because of this knowledge or lack thereof.

They wouldn't need to shorten other programs. They just move each one back the same amount of time.
Only one it will affect is whatever the last inning program would be when the release it.
So instead if having 2-3 mos for that program to run, it's a little less.
Doesn't affect anything else.

I really don't think you understand how strict their content schedule is. Ever notice how a big content drop usually coincides with the release of Madden/2k. Every content drop is planned out to the exact day prior to the release of the game. Every card is too other than Topps Now/POTM/Finest

I’m still saying give everyone some sort of xp dump. I lost the 1st inning showdown because of the server and TA showdowns plus god only knows if xp counted right.
A 10 pack won’t do it, at all. I’m going to be right on the edge of making it and losing 35k from the 1st inning showdown not counting (I submitted a ticket but doubt they will do the right thing) could be the difference for me.
I know people keep saying “Omg you want free stuff, stop whinig” but I really just want what I earned in the game and the servers stole from me. If they want to throw some packs in, fine, but giving out xp and some TA vouchers is almost a must to me at this point.

Compensation should happen for all the problems. I'd say stubs would be best and/or GOOD packs, not the regular [censored] show packs. And not a couple of diamond players as some have suggested. Too many people wouldn't need most/all they gave out. At least with a nice large chunk of stubs you can buy what you want, when you want.
And no need to change the 1st ing. schedule which would actually penalize those that got early access and have played a lot. I'm currently at just over 560k and have lost xp, although probably less then many. I certainly don't want to see the 1st ing. program extended.

Would you be ok with dropping xp to people, but extending out the first inning program with more rewards...maybe a second boss pack at 800k to give you guys a little something extra to build up to?

Dude, I’ve put in a lot of time and I’m still a ways off. Not everyone can play 8 hours a day.

That sounds like a possible plan. Although I think someone mentioned SDS is likely on a tight schedule as far as the programs and content drop goes.
I mention the stubs idea because it's good for everyone, no matter what point they're at in the game and everyone can choose what they spend them on.
Maybe give everyone a choice of stubs or xp? -

I have played 2 hours a night or less and I'm 380k you don't need to be a streamer to do this. Yes server are an issue but they are an issue for everyone so how are some making with minimal playing time.
-
Best way to fix this for 1st inning program is to keep it active while still getting stuff for the 2nd inning program as well. Knowing these idiots at SDS tho will not be able to achieve this. Nope sorry, can't do that
-
No please. I'm already at 650k and just want the next chunk of content.
They'll give us packs and it'll crash the diamond market and let more people do collections.
Idk, it'd be better if they gave us like a choice pack with like 2 rounds of 5 guys pick one of each, each of the 10 amongst the best cards in the game(not like Jackie/collection level) let em be sellable too.
