Im finding MTO the best grind right now. About 90k on allstar plus whatever else you earn from each game. A guy on my friends list did it first and already has a boss when I started. If I do it a second time I’ll be at the choice packs
Started a MTO grind as well love how that goes towards the programs makes being offline grinding a dream

Yeah and if the servers are out it will stack your Xp until it’s online as well which is nice. Im almost glad I had so many wins counted as loses in Mini seasons because tripled my Xp in less time playing MTO. Just no Parallels

Parallels only matter for online really so no big deal

For the life of me, i'll never understand why people buy games that they dont wanna play. If the "grind" is too much, find something else to do. We have 30 days to do the program, it doesnt need to be done in the first 24 hours.

Hey, do you know how the difficulties work on MTO? I notice there are like 3 additional ones. Is Dyanamic lower than Rookie? You've been good at talking me down during this emotional time in the wake of Team Affinity dying and so far I have to say, you're right and I think I may have jumped the gun. There are simply different ways to do it this year that are also fun. Just need to adapt..
Anyway, I'm not the world's greatest player, so what would you reccomend on MTO? Thanks.

I’ll be NMS again this year mostly because it was a lot more fun to play that way. I kinda thought NMS was actually a little too easy in 21’ but thats me. Challenge is a good thing.
That’s fine to make it a challenge, but when you grind nonstop and you end up with a sean fkn murphy that isn’t sellable that you won’t use one bit. That’s a lot of grinding for nothing, and not how this game used to be. Maybe they will add a replayable showdown or something like last year, but as it is this is not a good look for the loyal ppl to this game and how the layout used to be. This new program is not good
Bio - Xbox user who didn't want to splurge on the $50 early access so all of what I have seen has been from others playing
Anything that is repeatable is grindable, so far I have heard of mini seasons and now a 3 stronghold conquest map that sounds like a really good farm.
Have they clearly made it harder for NMS, yes, If I am honest with myself I know NMS was super easy last year, would I love this year to be super easy again, yeah I would, but it is too early to see just how hard they will make it for NMS, and as long as they don't continue to shift away from NMS year by year I think it will still be super viable

Dynamic adjusts as you play, I forgot exactly how it averages out the difficulty when it comes to rewards, just know, in the past if you start on dynamic and change the difficulty mid way, you will get beginner rewards, I would recommend starting on All Star, you can bump up the difficulty or lower the difficulty based on how hard you find it and not get bumped to the beginner rewards, you will be lowered to veteran if you go down.
I personally love MTO, I play mostly if not exclusively as offline for DD, I also am in no rush to get any card as fast as I can, I enjoy the process more than the result.
-
What are the cards that you feel are pay to win ?
I've always been a NMS, playing DD since 1st year and always made all the collections. Some years i got the live series collection done in june/july but last year was too easy. It's never fun to play a game/mode with no challenge. -

It's never fun to play a game/mode with no challenge.not sure who you are asking, and sticking my nose in a little here, but people can enjoy the game however they enjoy it, I personally agree with you that challenge is fun, I play my conquest games on HOF or Legend for the challenge, some people like to breeze through that stuff as they like the collecting aspect more.
I think it is pretty clear that they have moved away from NMS being so easy, and there is a quick reaction towards that, time will tell just how far they move from the NMS ease. I will reserve my judgement until then, still a long way to go to reach EA type
And I agree last year was super easy to play NMS, but I didn't hate that either, I made it more challenging on myself by not doing exchanges and other faster methods

So depending on what difficulty you play will determine how much xp you get and it works on a scale so get am A+ ranking get max xp get a low rating get the base xp so progress no matter what. I don't know the xp rewards per difficulty bit if you look under the program I think it's say.
You can grind out a MTO on Vet in a good 3 or 4 days and you will rake up a good amount of xp from what I remember.
MTO is good to break of things cause you don't have to worry about line ups and Parallels you just play baseball game with different situations an it goes to towards the main program so you don't miss out. Again another reason this change is positive cause you can play so many different offline modes and still progress

Yeah, I need to remember that I didn't start day 1 last year. I started in May. By then there was soooooo much content. I can't imagine they will pull off the throttle on cards and content. It's just packaged in a different way.
Thanks.

People would be able to grind more if they didn't make 5 topics comparing SDS to EA on day 1 of early access.
Almost like the servers are on maintenance right now. I’m simply pointing out what a lot of the community is talking about. They have changed things and it’s NOT for the better. You just haven’t played this game long obviously.
I've been playing the Show since it originally started actually. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them a new player. Honestly you sound like the new guy if you don't think with their track record they are gonna add plenty of programs and other ways to grind for stuff. People made the same complaint last year 'casuals are never gonna get the bosses'. A month into the game you never heard that again
I actually only got two inning packs all of last year lol. I would finish team affinity in about 2 days, take that team into ranked, play until WS and go play other games or do something with my life

@gixxerryder750 said in New program has absolutely killed NMS:
What showdowns could you replay for progress? Other than RIB?
TA? The real issue is that they destroyed TA
-
Nobody better ever compare the show to Madden. Madden is horrible. First of all, where in madden do you get to collect cards and then trade those cards in, and still keep the traded in cards, while getting a new better card? Madden Blows
-
I enjoyed being able to work on TA for the 42 series right out the gate last year. Now, we need to grind XP for what used to be the inning program to not have a choice in which players we receive for the non-sellables. Out of the 30 cards, we only get 12 for free, and have to buy the other 18 for the collection. Last year, it was 30 non-sellable and 10 you had to buy (minus the one or two from preorder).
Edit: oh and I forgot. There were a ton of packs for each TA division as well. The grind this year is only for the XP inning program … and I guess the mini seasons that no one can complete - I won two but I’m showing 0-2.

@gixxerryder750 said in New program has absolutely killed NMS:

Last year you could replay a showdowns for each division for team affinity players for program points, now it’s just one showdown that gives you xp ONE time
Because this isn't team affinity. This is like the 1st inning player program. Showdown for it was only once. There's a reason it lasts a month. There will be plenty of ways to get xp as well as double xp times. Calm down
-
The main issues was people xp glitching and completely the whole thing in a day..Now they make you actually have to play the game. It's just terrible
-
So what I take away from this thread is that when SDS makes no changes they are accused of being lazy and people dislike them. And then when they actually try and change things up people dislike them for that too.

My issue is people like me who didn’t exploit the glitch don’t have the conquest map and other programs yet so I am currently at 45k and I have played over 5 hours

It’s just sad to see this game finally go the EA route, they’re killing their player base with this new program setup, they have absolutely made no money spent impossible. This grind is ridiculous, we should be able to replay the showdowns like last year for progress can only play it once now. It’s gonna be nothing but wallet warriors in ranked seasons, hopefully the next program will be different, but the way of this new program layout is HORRIBLE they had no reason to change it, ppl praised this game for the programs and grind 99, they changed their model up and are going the EA route. RIP to what used to be the best ultimate team mode.
I need a detailed list of reasons as to why this game has killed NMS. You know, evidence?
I have no way of knowing, myself. My Series X is lying to me on when the download is gonna finish. It estimated two hours when I popped the disc in at 24 mbps, but that was two hours ago. I'm already pissed at the game and I haven't even been able to play it yet.
I'm halfway through the xp path and haven't sold anything. All together I've made about 40k stubs, they 2042d this game.
