@DominickB3 they addressed it read the patch or update notes they saiid if your hitting the cap you will have the 99s in no time and long before the season is over
I call BS on their claim here. You'd have to hit the cap every single day for almost 67 days just to hit the 1,000,000 mark for ONE of the season one boss cards. Thats almoat ten full weeks of guaranteed every day maxing out the cap.
God forbid you "touch grass" or have a job and cant guarantee that level every day for 10 weeks.

@Kaznella It only caps gameplay XP though. That's not the only way to gain XP, so it will not take 67 days. For example, right now I am at 250k XP, and I've only played like 8 or 9 days. So that's over 25k per day I'm averaging. I've also never hit the XP cap.

I know. I am at about 250k as well. Problem is i have completed all programs and TA to get there. As a result i am only getting the flat 15k per day.
Playing as much as i can since early access i am avg 16k per day and that includes completing the programs and team affinitys.
SDS is basically forcing its offline players like myself to play H2H modes juat to get XP required for season completion.

gaming media --- stop being a smart Beep -- LOL
Also I wrote that after I read it so was kind of heated -- I have come down a little and now trying to find a happy medium of being ticked off and hoping they see the wisdom and raise it a little higher.

@aaronjw76 Amen, and thank you.

Also how can you all just be cool with this maybe I overreacted but this is a garbage decision -- period

I'm happy to hear the excessive CPU balls has been fixed, along with the 2 way pitcher glitch in BR.
As for the XP cap, I don't like it.
Most of the player rewards are cheeks. If it weren't for the Buxton or Arenado boost, literally 90% of the hitter cards would not be used by actual competitive gamers.In regards to SP and RP, there isn't one SP reward worth any grind for. Palmer? that card blows. Same with Suter, etc.
Learn what cards are competitive, meta, and won't give up 10+ runs against good hitting opponents.The balance is way off. Even the top ranked players like Frosti and Zazzi have somewhat high ERA's. I think Zazzi was sporting an ERA past 5. Frosti is a bit better in the upper 3.00's...
I believe Zazzi and Frosti both play at Shieldwoods, correct? BTW top players always have high ERA, they don’t care how many runs they give. They play to score more than you because they trust in their ability, hence why the use high elevation ballparks

I'm cool with it because, There are tons of programs still coming, with tons of XP.
I'm cool with it because, SDS is making a concentrated effort, to control the power creep, and I appreciate that, as a player who plays equally offline and online, loading into a ranked game against someone who has twice the time to play the game as I do, and has OP cards because of, sours the experience.
I'm cool with it because $70-$100 is not a lot of money.
I'm cool with it because I'm not an entitled consumer.
And I'm cool with it because of everything aaronjw76 said.
The only players who have the right to be "heated" or "ticked off" are Switch users, who have gained literally zero XP, but I would venture a guess you have at least 100 hours in the game already.

I don't like how the explained coming up with the XP Cap.
I quote: All of this will allow the average user to keep up with relevant rewards from the XP Reward Path without needing to hit the gameplay XP Cap consistently.
So what happens when someone else isn't an average player, and has to go into the hospital for a week or two, and can't play for those days? Because of the cap; they can't make that XP up and will either be two weeks behind in getting the three 99s. Or even worse, not be able to get them at all. And what happens if they get them with only a day left in the season? They have to wait a WC spot to be able to use them? And chances are; they won't get XP towards the next season.
You're going to alienate people faster than you did last year.
Who cares if someone gets those players WAY before me? I don't. I don't play online. So I won't be facing them.
They're even non-sellable. Let us play as much as we want.
I thought the whole tag line of this game was 'play how you want'. Not 'play how you want unless you seem to be getting ahead of other people.
wait a minute. You have messaged me asking for tips in working the market all so you can buy players just for offline play? smh
Whats wrong with playing offline?
-
Wrong on the hours I have into this game -- If i was to guess it would be like an avg of 3 to 4 per night -- I am not a hard core player -- I just hit the Hitting Cap pack a couple days ago. In all fairness did not play much Tues cause bought a PS5 and had to take time to re-Download the game etc.
-
@blitz77tw Wrong, I looked at your universal profile. You have 100 hours in DD.
-
@blitz77tw said in Game Update 3 Coming Tomorrow:
just to be told HOW MUCH we can play a game we bought.
Well, they are not technically telling you HOW MUCH you can play, they are telling you how much XP you can earn through gameplay in a day. That does not mean you have to actually stop playing or that the game stops working.
Now, I am not defending the cap. I really don't have an opinion on it because I have never hit it, but in the end you can still play as much as you want.
We'll see how they live up to their promise to reward more XP in programs because right now it feels like slow going to me.
-
@blitz77tw and how amazing is the ps5 compared to the 4 i bought mine right before the shows release and WOW rhr loading/download times are amazing i think it took 15 min to download the entire game my ps4 would have taken 2 hours.. Even just loading a diamomd dynasty gsme still feels amazing 2 weeks later i domt rven habr time to ser my opponents lineuo it loads so fast !!!
-
The notion that the xp cap limits how much you play is ridiculously disingenuous.
No argument based around that should be taken seriously, and its not even remotely scandalous so good luck taking it to gaming publications.If you want to be taken seriously, make reasonable arguments (I have already done so personally about this topic)
-
The XP cap is way too low.
Imagine when they do double XP. You’ll hit that limit in maybe 4-5 games. What. 3 hours?
What if it’s Saturday and your only day to play. You wanna play all day. The promo is on. Double XP. You open your cold beer at lunch time. And by the time you’re on your 3rd beer. That’s it. You can’t grind anymore.
They need to raise it. People don’t play this game every single day. Normal people play it in a bigger chunk at one time during the weekend or Friday night.
Poor really.
Just raise it to 25k and be done with it.
-
100% this sucks for offline players, after you hit level 24 in the path, each level is now 20k so you can't even get the next reward with just playing the game.
There isn't enough content for the cap to be this low, if you've finished mini-season before and want to repeat it, you can maybe get an extra 21k xp a day if you could finish both season and win the championship, which is very unlikely. We don't even have the small 3 team repeatable conquest. So much for letting us get our grind on.

No it needs to be thrown in the trash where it belongs.
Lowering game xp and then capping it is BS. If someone has all day and wants to grind xp then they should be able to. Period. Who cares what other people do with their time? The rewards are all no sell for fucks sake.

The game has been out for less than two weeks on Early Access and not even that long for mass release. Also, we are just now approaching Opening Day - not including the Seoul Series - so I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now as you have to expect there will be a lot of extra XP to be earned through programs and such as the new season officially gets underway.
They have already announced the "Egg Hunt" program for this Friday and soon enough we will have content like POTM to help progress through the XP path a little quicker.
About the XP limit nullifying any "Double XP" promo, I can see them upping the daily cap limit for those select days to allow players to earn more than usual. Maybe they even drop an "Unlimited XP Weekend" or something similar? Otherwise, like you said and I agree with, it would be pretty pointless to keep the current daily cap as it would only mean less required game time to reach it.

@Shauwn well good thing the game doesn't revolve around zazzi and frostie
