@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

@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 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
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

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?

No I’ve not tried that. Would I delete it from the PS altogether and then redownload it? Id be willing to try that if that’s what you think might work. Strange that you mentioned HR Derby! I’ve not played that particular game mode but once and only several months ago however the field that I selected to play my ‘vs cpu’ game yesterday was actually named that - “HR Derby”….is that what you meant?

What's it showing on the end screen after the game?
Hmmm I’m not certain about this one. I have noticed in the past few weeks that certain times I’ll be in the DD menu and it’ll start out saying that I’m not connected and put me back to the main menu but usually in a few seconds it’ll come back up and then it’s back to normal. Would it be possible that it disconnects while I’m in the middle of a game and reconnects without me being aware of it?
Y’all have given me a few things to try at least and for that I’m certainly appreciative. I think today what I’ll try is going back to using my wired connection as well as trying to delete and reinstall and perhaps one of these or even the combination may fix my issue. If not then I’ll submit the ticket.
So far as the post game screen it doesn’t give me any XP total at all. Of the three screens I thought the first one used to show the tally but mine hadn’t shown anything at all for a very long time so far as XP totals are concerned however I do usually get some kind of rather low grade card as a reward most of the time displayed on that initial screen. The middle and final screens will show me a listing of all the different increases in program PxP that usually adds up to many thousands of new points but when I go back to the season five XP total after I close it out I’ll have received zero increase in overall points. I just can’t make heads or tails of that it’s really baffling lol
Thanks for y’all’s help though I’ll report back today after work some time after I’ve had a chance to try these suggestions. At least it gives me something to aim for

Yes. Delete it and re-download it. Then try a game to see if you get XP.
No, not the field. The mode. There's some kind of glitch, unless they fixed it, that of you play the HRD Mode; after it messes with your XP until you delete and reinstall the game. Just delete it and reinstall it to see if that helps.

If it disconnects while your midgame - It'll usually kick you out of the game. Even if it's just Play vs. CPU.

Oh my gosh it worked! It truly truly worked! I did the delete and redownload/reinstall and the very first inning I played there was a notification that showed I had garnered 1327XP….ive not seen it do that in MONTHS!!! This is incredible man I can’t thank you enough! Maybe now I’ll actually be able to earn that Acuña this weekend since it’s double XP! Finally! Man I am friggin STOKED y’all have made my day I truly mean that. I was so anxious to see if it worked that i came by the house in between service calls just to try it out and I hate to leave it lol but I know I’ll have me a good weekend for sure.
Thanks to all who helped me through this. This is just wonderful. I’m so happy about it that I’m not even going to dwell on how many wasted hours I’ve put towards trying to earn this Acuña lol
