40-70 Acuna question
-
I'm usually not a huge Acuna fan in MLBTS, but I used his MS card a lot in the current event. Love it. Like a lot of you, I struggle on inside fastballs, but had no issues with this card.
-
I’m still 215000 points away from getting the card lol I just lope I can get it before the dadjim time runs out
-
@NCStateHokie The All-Star Acuna card is better that than the 70/40 card in 1 area. Its +2 in contact vs lefties. All-Star card has decreased stats in 7 other catagories.
Do you have the All-Star card boosted and comparing it to non-boosted 40/70?

I hope you can get to him before time runs out. They’ll have double XP near the end of the season.

Chances are they'll put him out again in the last XP path.

@BxnnyMxn_
vs CPU on double XP while you're doing the next program. I hate to do it, but I'll use a high elevation park and hit 20+ HRs. 15K per game.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement I’ve been wanting this card since I first saw it. I looked and I don’t have the AS one either and I’d just hate to miss the chance to play ball with Acuña. Now I’ve got me some hope and I appreciate that tremendously.
I wonder though if I’m doing something wrong when it comes to these vs cpu games. Like you I get the the 20 homers , 30 runs etc but instead of the several thousand xp I used to get, it seems like I'm only getting a fraction of that. Is it because most of my team is free agents or does that only matter when grinding for TA? I feel like I should know this by now but I simply don't lol
Again I thank y’all!
PS @broken_toy1_PSN I’ve enjoyed reading your excellent posts of late and have missed them. I’ve missed a lot of people on here lately but I totally understand why everyone is gone esp with the forum being so dead. Just wanted to put that out there

@BxnnyMxn_
FA cards or even which sets of cards (Set1, 2, etc..) you're using shouldn't affect your XP gain...You're correct though, they only influence the PXP gain for TA Missions
You haven't touched the Sliders in your Settings have you? I think if you change those sliders it'll penalize your XP Gain.

No ive never touched the sliders heck it took me six months before I figured out people weren’t talking about little tasty hamburgers. You know Gixxy it could just be me thinking I’m not getting the credit for them. Did it not used to say how many you got immediately following the game? I’d almost swear that it did but now I get no such thing. My last game I totaled up the cumulative pxp gains by adding all the numbers it showed on that third screen and it was like four thousand points but when I looked at the XP total that I had written down before the game it appeared as if I only got like three hundred. I just don’t seem to understand what the differences are. There’s a good chance that I’m simply overlooking something but it sure is taking me a loooong time to get any progress and I really want that dang card lol
ps @GixxerRyder750 thank you for the help partner. You’re another of my favs around here

@BxnnyMxn_
PXP is the experience for each individual card - You can see your cards totals for each game by hitting the R1 twice in the post game menu. XP is just your overall experienced gained for playing. You should see this total on the very first screen along with any stubs won. Unfortunately, if you say for example cross a threshold in the weekly wonders program that gives 5000XP...This XP will be included in your XP Gained total on the post game screen. Same thing happens if you list a card in the market place...and it sells while you're in the middle of a game. You're Stub "Winnings" on the post game screen will reflect the stubs you received from your sold card.
Total PXP for all your players, won't equal the XP Gained. The PXP is actually quantifiable and measurable..."X" number of PXP for an AB, Hit, 2B, HR, K, etc... I don't believe anyones ever been able to figure out exactly how XP is measured. (I could be wrong on this). Only thing I remember when it came to measuring "XP" was on Defense...If you struck out the Side (On Rookie) you got like 450 XP so that was essentially the Most XP you could receive on the defensive side...This was also last year when your XP gains popped up in the corner after each half inning. They either don't do that this year? Or you have to turn it on I think?Apologize if any of this was superfluous and you already knew it...just kind of all ties together so wanted to be sure i was being clear.

Clear as crystal and no apologies necessary EVER (in my book) when you’ve taken the time and thoughtfulness to answer someone’s question lol especially when it’s mine
I didn’t know any of that so I thank you. If you find a way to turn on those mid inning XP gain notifications please let me know that as well (I don’t ask much, do I?) as i greatly covet that information and miss it terribly from last years game.
Very very helpful post my friend

FA? Are you using the NBL players? That shouldn't make a difference anyway. Maybe a S5 specific team is needed for more XP? Still shouldn't matter though. Is your pitcher doing well also? 18-23 strike outs, QS, complete game shut out, etc. All that should get you 5K-8K a game.

I just thought of something. I probably SHOULD be playing my vs cpu games with a season five squad shouldn’t I? Would that get me to the Acuña faster or is it simply any XP earned right now is credited to my Sfive point totals? I’m right at two fifty K right now so I’m going to pay attention and see what I get this game

Ok just did a vs cpu game where I had twenty two strikeouts with three pitchers also had twenty homers with eleven diff players and got zero XP. Check out my player ID it should be the most recent game I played. Someone please look at it and tell me what it is I’m doing wrong. I got tons of PXP but not a single XP. No wonder I feel like this Acuña is taking forever to get to.
Oh and the only other game I played today was a vs cpu game that I quit after a couple innings because my wife came home with Arbys and I wasn’t about to miss that so it’s not a question of exceeding my daily limit. I started today with 245,215 XP and that’s where I still am. Someone please tell me what I’m missing because this is the slowest I’ve progressed through a season so far and I just don’t get it. What’s worse is this has been the only season where there was a reward card that I’ve actually wanted and instead of progress if I’m just marking time

How long have you been playing on the last 24hrs? Maybe you hit the XP Cap.

I had only played two games in the previous twenty four hours. Both against cpu and one of those only went two innings out of nine and was tied one all when I quit the game to eat lunch. The only other one was the game I gave an account of where I got nada despite a decently productive game.

Have you played Home Run Derby lately?

People offering 300k on a card you could get for free from grinding, and I thought I was lazy

The cap is around 100K though. Weird.

One more idea. Were you connected to the internet the whole game? If not that could be it. I know I haven't gotten credit for PXP to a program when I was unknowingly disconnected. I'm shaking my head how discombobulated that sentence was. Know no know, you know? I think next step is a ticket to SDS. That might be why you're not there yet. What's it showing on the end screen after the game?
