Gameplay XP for Pitching Half of Inning
-
I noticed while playing Conquest games on Veteran...
- Strike out the side in order: 99 XP
- Retire the side in order with two strikeouts: 91 XP
- Retire the side in order with no strikeouts: 84 XP
- Give up a single to first batter, then retire the next three by way of strikeout: 104 XP
- Give up a single then retire the next three in order with two strikeouts: 96 XP
Or better yet...walk first batter, then strike the next three out for 109 XP
So we get more XP if we give up a single then strikeout the next three batters than if we just strikeout the side in order or even just retiring the side in order.

I played the Dodgers in Conquest and in the bottom of the 1st I walked Hernandez (straight walk, 0 pitches), then struck out Outman, Freeman, and Betts. I received 90 XP.
But, then I looked at the log and it didn't show me walking Hernandez - only striking out Outman, Freeman, and Betts (no mention of Hernandez in the log - and he is the leadoff hitter) - so maybe that is why I only got 90 XP? (and Outman's strikeout was in pink for some reason)

@Blind_Bleeder Were you also playing on Rookie? Because 90 sounds like striking out the side on Rookie (Veteran gets that 1.1X boost for 99).

I was on Rookie. Sorry - I missed your leadoff sentence about being on Veteran.

@Blind_Bleeder That is weird that the game log didn't record the walk though!

Okay - this time I played the Dodgers on Veteran (Jackie map...sooo...). Walked Hernandez - straight walk, 0 pitches (not in the log again). Outman singled. Freeman flied out. Betts homered. Muncy grounded out. Smith K'd.
83 XP only 1 less than retiring the side with no Ks.
Next inning. Walked Heyward (not in the log), and struck out Taylor, Lux, and Hernandez. 99 XP. Maybe you have to walk the first batter by pitching to them? @dap1234567890

I played on veteran in mini seasons got 91 XP with retiring the side in order with 2 Strikeouts, so the same as conquest on veteran difficulty
-
@dap1234567890 I think the boost is for PXP though?
-
@Blind_Bleeder Probably do have to walk on pitches.

@yankblan The boosts for difficulty level and online are applied to both gameplay XP and player XP. Of course, there is no boost to any kind for awarded XP for completing missions.
