I got done with the face of the franchise program last night. Is there anything worth doing while we wait for the new program in May?

This is hilarious

What is hilarious? I know this is one of those topics but I'm here trying to be polite and have a conversation about it.

Then why have a discussion at all if you need to ask what to do when you're already doing it? Why be mundane?

Now just play the game. Unfortunately the xp you earn from now until the next program (2 weeks lol) will be useless. Hopefully one day they will fix this problem.

what problem? no way you should be aloud to bank it for later...

Agreed that would be horrible. I never said that would be a good idea. I just advocate for at bare minimum allowing the number of total xp to keep growing.

Can you please scroll up sir. You will my first comment on the thread literally begins with "now you just play the game".

All on saying is it would be nice if the xp you earn after 600k went towards somthing. Even if it just added up for no reason other than to see how much you can accumulate.

Lol I hate this argument. DD is a reward based game mode. You either spend time or money to get rewards yes playing baseball is fun, that's why I've been buying the game the past 8 years. However, if I'm going to play a mode strictly for the fun of baseball I'll play franchise.

And again I'm not saying we need more rewards past 600k. We can already spam the mystery map for unlimited rewards.

So you want to earn XP for the sake of earning xp...? That makes no sense.

Yeah it's a struggle. Idk why they haven't fixed it yet.

It's just a from a motivation standpoint. It is more motivating and fun to play the game when you see that the main reward (xp) is counting towards somthing. Wether thats every 50k you get a 5 pack, or every 100k, or like I said just to see the number go up and up.

I'm fine with there being no rewards beyond the program threshold. We don't need to be consistently rewarded for everything we do in game.

Even still, why? Why does it matter if you get a 5 pack at 650k 700k 750k etc...

Also this would be awesome because then the exploiters would burn through all off rtts in the first program lol

You don't seem to understand that the program is for a set time and designed to let those of us with less time earn the same rewards.
You're done with the program, well guess what, i'm not even 1/2 way yet. I may not finish in time because of lack of free time. It wouldn't be fair to allow those with more free time to get all the rewards.

You will finish. They are constantly dropping content for 30k xp. And as far a rewards, that point is irrelevant. We are going to get rewards regardless from mini season, mystery map, online play etc. All I'm saying is allow the program to continue past 600k.
