For pitchers play vs CPU. CG plus all the Ks you rack up give you a ton of XP. On top of that if you can throw a no-hitter/perfect game it will go even quicker.

what do you guys think is the best(quickest) way to parallel players?
Quickest way is to play vs. CPU against a really bad team on rookie.
To make it even better for your hitters pick your #5 OVR SP. The CPU will do the same. The spot in the rotation doesn't matter, it goes by the OVR of the 5 SP.
That way you're up against a bronze SP every time against a weak team. And pick away team so you get the full 9 at bats.Win 20-0, virtually every player on your team gets 2-3 hits, lots of XBH, pitchers get perfect games with 20+ K's and you get 8-10k+ first inning XP to boot.
This is actually also the quickest and best way I know of to grind for 1st inning XP. Much better then Conquest. It's obviously the equivalent of 3 Conquest games but you get way more then 3X the amount of XP.I pitch my SP 1 inning and then all 8 RP an inning each so they all get some xp. Since it takes 5 ing. for a SP to qualify for a win, the first RP you bring in will get the win meaning you can actually pick who you want to have get the win.
And every RP that pitches until you have more then a 3-0 lead will get credit for a "hold" which is also xp. However, you're obviously likely to be up by at least 4 fairly early.I have an entire 90+ diamond team with every hitter tier 4 or 5. Every pitcher including 8 relievers are all tier 2-4.
The problem is it's kind of boring after awhile (what grinding isn't lol) but it works. -

I've played the Pirates over 50 times in Play vs CPU on Rookie, always using my 5th starter (based on OVR) and I have got Trevor Cahill every single time.
Even the order of their relievers has been the same every single time.
Cahill - Underwood - Holmes - Howard - Hartlieb - Bednar - Crick - Feliz - Rodriguez

Yes, you always get the same SP every time unless you change yours.
And yes, same RP in order, every time. -
Agreed. Super fast actually.

Playing vs cpu on rookie in Coors or your own created stadium with high altitude.
It may not get the 1.5 times multiplier of online, but I'm not hitting 5 dingers in an online game with Posada either.

The quickest way? For a hitter, if they qualify for the event, place them in the top of your order, hit, quit, repeat.
For pitchers, same strategy
I honestly think the prestige system last year led to people taking this route
I prefer just playing online normally to progress parallels and events are great for that

You need 8 Plate appearances or a win for PXP to count
Oh I wasn’t aware of that, appreciate the info.
I assumed you could just throw an inning, hope to get a few Ks, rinse and repeat
Seems they are trying to avoid that from happening in events like last year
I think it was meant to avoid “hr with belli and I quit.”
Yeah lol, I did really like the free wins tho

I never asked for anything myself, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a few outfielder get lost on a routine fly ball when I played someone with that name.

Vs CPU, pick a weak team and destroy them.

I play a ton of vs cpu games. After I hit 350k I beat the snot out of the orioles to get parallel stats when I don’t want to play ranked.
