Will there be xp caps, daily limits in 25?
-
I've watched a few streamers summarizing the DD info we have and none have mentioned anything about the daily xp cap.
Has sds mentioned anything about this?
-
@ref479ode_PSN Not that I’ve seen, which means it’s probably still going to be a thing again. It’s incredibly unpopular, so they’d mention it if it was going away.

That was kind've my assumption unfortunately.

Good question. I have not heard anything official about this. However, if there is a power creep, then I doubt it will be as extreme as last year. I say that, because last year, they were protecting their power creep, due to the 99 rewards in the Season format. With the Innings format, however, the power creep is built into their progression system, so there is not much of a need for an XP cap. Even though the Inning bosses will have higher attributes, they will not be significantly higher than the earlier rewards. I played a lot of MLBTS during the years they had Innings, and I do not remember tripping about XP. -
@xElRojo44x-_MLBTS there definitely wasn’t one when we had inning programs before. Whatever year Hank Aaron was an inning boss (later season), I got him the day he released.
-
If anything in the XP Path is sellable, especially the Inning Bosses, there will be an XP cap.

It doesnt need to go away per se, but it needs to increase. I don’t stick up for SDS much they are in between a rock and a hard place. Limit it people complain, open it up people burn through it in a week and people complain that there is no new content

@LIONED-33_XBL I think people burning through it is less of a problem with the infinite “wheel” at the end. It really only matters for the xp path anyways. At the very least, make the cap way higher.

My guess is that the cap will be back. As long as SDS wants to control the pace that the rewards hit the market then there will be a cap.
It needs to be a rolling cap though, that resets every inning. I will keep advocating for this even though I have never hit the cap.
Lets say the cap is 25K per day
Day 1 - Everybody has the same cap. Player 1 plays and hits the cap. Player 2 does not play.
Day 2 - Player 1's cap is 25K. Player 2's cap is now at 50KThis is the most fair for those guys who, for example, can't play during the week and want to do a marathon 8 hour session on Saturday and Sunday in order to catch up. Nobody should be penalized because they can only play a few times a week.
Unless I am overlooking something obvious, the math should not be very hard:
Daily cap * Number of days the current program has run - the players current XP in that program.
(of course double XP weekends & double weekend caps throws a wrench into the math) -

(of course double XP weekends & double weekend caps throws a wrench into the math)would probaby be easier to just do a weekly cap. 210,000 per week.

See, I don't think that works. Sure it gives the guy who only plays a a couple days a week a chance to catch up. But you know there would be other guys hitting that weekly cap in like 3 days. Are they then supposed to go 4 days without earning any XP?

they'd still get xp rewards from conquest or programs. And maybe itll teach people to pace themselves. Not everything needs to be a race to first.

But some people like to race to be first
I think people should play the game how they want to play it.
As it stands now my best day to play is Monday and if I want to donate my weekend time then Saturday too but typically Tuesday thru Friday and Sunday I just can't really play
I kind've roll my eyes when someone has p5'd someone in a week but it doesn't bother me

The whole idea of the XP cap is absolutely absurd, tbh.
SDS has a modus operandi when it comes to things that aren't popular: Completely ignoring talking about them/answering any questions on the subject and just letting the player base find out for themselves that certain things were disregarded.
For example, I'm really hoping that they ditched the slashed XP format (we were only getting half the XP amounts compared to 23)...but seeing how there's been radio silence on that matter, I'm not holding my breath
