Your problem is you are playing on rookie. You get less xp for lower difficulties.
I don't believe that is true. Got a definitive statement to that affect somewhere?
I might be wrong but I thought you got a bit of a boost on xp, though that might only be on parallel xp?

The problem i have is that they turned it off without any warning mainly cause the EXP exploiters were using it to complete the 2nd inning program in a few hours. Now being that was prolly the reason for turning it off early cause my guess is either they would have turned it off after this weekend or Tues with next content drop of headliners.
The "exploits " or whatever you want to call them are not really new at least one of them the 2 controllers thing was featured in a youtube vid LAST year. Meaning if it worked last year and they did not FIX it then it's THERE fault not the players using it plain and simple. Also for those wondering i used it briefly last year but it's so mind numbing boring i stopped after maybe 3 to 5 games and never went back.
SDS learn to communicate better maybe the plan all along was to turn it off at the launch of 2nd inning and you forgot BUT again a warning like put a DATE and time on the graphic of ending at 12:00 / 3 FRI with debut of 2nd Inning Program or something but NO -- you cannot communicate with us and just mess with us and that is a FACT.

I mean they communicated that they would have the server issues pretty much fixed and that they would have the thank you bundle in the shop. They said all that via their 2nd inning program stream and talked on how they were going to continue to work on things at they pop up and encouraged players to continue to report bugs and errors. When I hear something like that along with a thank you bundle being put in stores that to me signals double xp is over because they've addressed the issue actively. Double xp was never intended to be a thing for that long and no matter if they officially announced an end or not people were going to whine and complain no matter what anyway.
These programs are not that hard to get 350k XP in within the time frame especially when they will likely add a showdown, 2 player programs, more in game missions, and another collection for XP as well before that program is done. The 650k part is not supposed to be easy to attain at all and if they had people glitching or manipulating XP then in my opinion they did the right thing to pull the plug on double xp. I mean I don't understand why people need to glitch or cheese or even cheat to play a game. It doesn't make you better, it just makes you look dumb and for what? To brag to your handful of buddies? To make your stream look great until you have to play in a real competition and get your [censored] smacked? Just play the game, stop acting entitled, and be happy you even got double xp for that long.

Dedicated users should hit 350k without an issue.
Hardcore users (or exploiters) will easily hit 650 in a week or less.
Average users will still get to 350k, but it might take longer than 2-3 weeks.
Breaking News... SDS releases content each inning that pushes the average user to 350k before the Inning is over.
People should spend less time complaining and contemplating negative outcomes. Take time away from the boards and go play the game for a week after content drop, then come back.
TBH- All I see is people complaining for the sake of complaining, because attempting to create conflict where none exists, is all you know.
I was at 70-80 hours in the first inning, and without double xp and the 100k at the end I would have been borderline to even get 350k.
You obviously don’t know how to prioritize your time to get XP
Since the 2nd inning program started, I’ve put maybe 10-15 hours into it and I’m at 150k
You complain every time you post, maybe if you focused that time towards the game you’d be further into the program
Please tell me how to “prioritize” how I play the game? Do you mean loading zero rated rosters and playing offline or doing the walk boosting?
I keep seeing these numbers, and I’m really beyond confused how to do it outside of boosting as even me playing the cpu on rookie and hitting 8 hr’s gets me 5k or so a game.
Haven’t looked into or exploited any type of “boosting” I would never waste my time to get something in a video game quicker than some random person I don’t know lol
What I mean is, once the new inning program drops, I aim to knock out any/all missions I possibly can (outside of the boss collection)
First night, I knocked out conquest, 7 event wins, the 21 runs mission with “x” series players, knocked out the stolen base mission and then did dailies
That coupled with just playing events and ranked season has me over 150k two days in
Idk what else you want my man, you keep complaining as if nothing will ever appease you.
-
Just one weekend of playing nothing but moments and conquests got me 130k, then collecting first inning bosses got me another 50k on top of that. Inning has barely even got started and I’m already more than halfway to 350k. I’m such a crappy player that I’ve literally never even played an online game at anything above all star, so if I can manage to level through these programs then better players really have no excuse, It’s not that difficult.

Just did a conquest game and won 4-0. That got me 1254xp, if you only played conquest it would take 518 three inning games to finish everything with no dropped games.
518? Wow.
At least you could get your players to Superfocker level 5 🤪 -
I am at 160k right now with modest playing and there still hasnt been the 2nd inning showdown or conquest maps yet. Nor collections and such.

Intentional walking, using the rosters of 99 pitcher vs 0 stat players spamming X to get strike outs, all still work for grinding xp, yes it will take twice as long, but you can pull up netflix, watch a movie, and get 30k xp without even looking at the game. The just made it slower, didn't take any of the brokenness away.
I wish they could ban boosters like you.,
I believe they did in 20, maybe even in 19. -
Player program 1-35k XP
Conquest 1-15k XP
Showdown- 35k XP
Player program 2- 35k XP
Conquest 2- 15k XP
Offline daily missions for 20 days- 40k XPTotal so far 175k. Halfway there.
The average conquest game is 1.5k XP. If you don't get that you played a bad game. There are roughly 6 strongholds and a steal fans per conquest map. 1.5k x 7 x 2 conquest maps. 21k while doing your conquest maps.
Total 196k
I don't do play vs CPU games but we will say 6k XP is the minimum for those? 208k after the two CPU games for the player program. We will say 300xp per showdown mission for argument sake X10 missions 3000. Every failed moment/ showdown etc. gets you more XP. If you can't get 150k XP through gameplay in the course of a month on top of the XP boosts you were simply not meant to get the boss -
@quinnymcquinn said in I think with no double xp a lot of people will struggle to complete the programs:
2-3k? For a ranked game? I think it’s closer to 6-9k depending on how well you do. I get around 3-4K per conquest game. Also if I pitch in rtts, just those pitched innings and stats get about 3500k
Sorry we are all not as good as you, i typically only get about 2-3 k per cpu 9 inning game.

And 6k is certainly not the minimum vs cpu. I did a 19-1 win and got 5.8k.
Many of you greatly inflate the amounts of do you get from playing...or the other issue is XP is counting different for everyone.

I do think the "missing XP" gets counted eventually. I've had it twice this inning where I gained A small amount of XP scrolling through the menus, likely what I might have been missing from previous games. And no one is inflating the amounts of XP they are getting. Every pitch you take gets you XP. you trouncing the CPU on rookie swinging at every pitch is not going to get you as much as an 8-1 win on allstar where a player may have taken a walk or two and actually got into 2-2, 3-2 counts
-
Yes, taking pitches is the key to racking up xp vs. CPU.

1 big inning can get you 1k in XP.
1 big inning. LOL. I get excited scoring 1 run on HOF. Simply can't react or recognize pitches. I have hit so many balls in the PCI for no hits it is laughable. I honestly think I have 3 HR's in my last 10 RS games and they were Dejong, Lofton and Felix Hernandez. Oh, I think Trout may have 1 or 2. Feels like the rest of my lineup has 30 power. I have to hit it perfect to get a HR. 1/100th of a millimeter off perfect nets me a routine fly ball almost every time.
Just another MLB game where I don't feel rewarded. I'll tank and go back down to 400 again just like last year so I can actually enjoy the game. Use different cards and such.
If you are trying to grid out xp against the cpu, why use HOF level?
Put it on rookie and bank XP. -

Sure if that's the ONLY way you could earn XP. But it's not as I posted earlier. Your 518 games completely ignores collections, showdown, conquests, player programs, & daily missions.
Just giving numbers, it’s about 130 hours of gameplay to finish without any of the other ways. I haven’t been able to finish a game all night so those numbers might be a little low.
if you haven't been able to finish a game all night then it's most likely on your end. Other than the unscheduled "maintenance" to finally turn off 2x XP I have had 0 issues with the servers and I'm not even hard wired.
But again if you are going to "just give numbers" you should provide an accurate accounting which would include all the other ways you can earn XP. If it was only earned from ranked games then I'd be 100% behind you. But that's not the case so it's just misleading at best and whining at worst.
Insulting me doesn’t take away from the actual issue at hand, the current, right now problem. The servers are still not fixed so people get maybe 60-70% of base xp, not even the minimum they should. There’s no reason to take away 2x until they can resolve their ongoing issues.
Wow you really are soft. me saying it's "whining at worst" is insulting? You may not want to peruse online forums if that's the case.
I’m as soft as your moms [censored], ignoring the actual issue and keep trolling.
Ok so you're 12. I'm sorry I called you soft. I know today's youth needs to be coddled and kept safe. So my sincere apologies.
He seems more mature than you, to be honest.

It's more the servers being down at times I can play like right now that will make it difficult to achieve.

@locutusofburg
If you can reach that level in RS then you should be able to beat the CPU on all star. From you saying you have to play on rookie it sounded like you were someone who wouldn't play onlineOnly reason I ever reach AS is pitching. I can’t hit to save my life.
And I can beat the CPU on all star. It will just be like 5-1 and in the end better to win 15-1 on rookie xp wise.
Switch to pure analog hitting, no pci at all. Just wait on good pitches and swing at the right time. Once you get comfortable with that, add back in zone interface with pci... enjoy.

@locutusofburg said in I think with no double xp a lot of people will struggle to complete the programs:
And I mean just getting to the boss packs.
Doing a bit of a breakdown, last year you essentially got 3 program stars per 9 inning game. This year if you play a ranked season game maybe you’ll get 2k-3k or so xp a game. That translates to a much slower progression to 350k xp than the old method.
Add to it that showdown only gets you 35k which I believe is significantly less than showdown gave last year stars wise and I really think that casual players are likely to be locked out of getting to the bosses, which is very unfortunate.
I don't think so because a lot of people like myself were never actually receiving the double XP that was shown postgame.
However if they didn't drop those very generous extra collections and missions, perhaps. I was able to get the full 650k but then again I grinded out RTTS for tons of XP.

Theres more than enough ways to get to max XP by end of the program. I did it easily last time and I don't play obsessively
