Parallel XP

Parallel XP: Hitters scale far too slowly, when compared to pitchers. Plate appearances should have a base value of 15 or even 20. Walks and singles should earn 10, doubles 20 (not 15), triples and HRs 30 (not 20).
A much larger issue is difficulty scaling of PXP. Upping the difficulty results in such a small bonus, that it makes no sense to grind anything above rookie or veteran for PXP. A more appropriate scale would be R: 1 ; V: 1.25 ; AS: 1.5 ; HOF: 1.65 ; L: 2X
Being that legend is MUCH more difficult than Rookie, doubling PXP seems fair. This would incentivize people playing on higher difficulties. It shouldn’t require 70-80HRs on legend to hit P5.
I honestly feel like I have to play on Rookie or Veteran because it’s so hard to hit PXP goals above these.
Could we also get some clarification on HR/9? The stat still exists but most people agree it’s only a sim stat, so why include it in DD when there aren’t sim games?
(Also, a buff to Live Series Cards would be nice. They are now just collection fodder, and current Acuna isn't 2 points worse than prime George Brett)
Great job this year. Looking forward to ‘24. We appreciate the work you guys do.

I think triples should be more points than HRs because they are more difficult to get. I also think (and suggested it in a survey) that hitters should get points for cycles.

At the very least, Assists and Putouts should count towards PXP. 5 points a putout. 10-15 for an assist. Also at least then, striking out every batter to max your Pitcher PXP isn't the Goal. I already prefer them to make contact to speed up the game, would be nice if those defensive plays counted towards something tangible.

Unless they raised the points to PXP, a catcher would hit P5 in no time at all if they included putouts. The same with shortstops for assists.
