Multiplayer Program Huge L!?
-
Events got even less interesting then they already were...BR will now be less rewarding without the program packs... Online play sounds less appealing then ever before. Kind of a buzz kill after everything else we have seen.

The return of tiered mission drops is a big L. There’s no reason to play the program until all missions have dropped.
There is reward playing ranked … to get that higher rank for Weekend League

I legitimately can’t figure out how they don’t have “wins” as a way to earn either bonus XP or multiplayer program stars….im calling it now - ppl are going to message asking to swap homers for stats. If you don’t answer they’ll just quit and you end up with nothing since wins give 0 rewards
-
If there really do end up being no BR cards to earn outside of going flawless then I probably will play that a lot less, which is a shame because I love that mode. But I would still play Events either way. Sometimes its nice to just mess around in some 3 inning games and complete some stat missions without sweating and worrying about wins and losses.

I think it should be completed games, not wins. thats the best way to reduce quitting.

@LIONED-33 Same. I can definitely hit 800.

With this program setup, will anyone who isn’t seriously invested in their ranked rating ever play a game against Randy or JohnDon again? Definitely not in events, and probably not ranked either.
-
Did they announce the multiplayer rewards.

I'll give them an inning to see if they know how to pitch or not. This was how the last third of 2024 was for me too once they removed the innings. I don't care about my ranking, so i would much rather lose 10-5 then win 1-0 under the 'only offense matters' approach we have now.
But when innings was the main stat I played almost every non-shield woods/troll opponent game to completion

I’m totally cool with this new setup. I have always done my grinding offline and played RS when I’m caught up grinding. One mode I have never played is BR because to me that’s not enjoyable. But now that I can get those rewards as well without playing BR, I’m thrilled! Gonna be a great year boys!!!

@IrishFist412 sure, you may get the reward after it is totally unplayable and behind the power creep. No reason not to put the ranked and br cards in drop 3 other than gatekeeping.

I stopped reading after like 15 comments. I just got home from a double, too busy to check on my phone or even attempt watch the stream. first I've seen or heard or even thought on what online will/has become.
First thought, fugh. fugh fahk. but..There will be plenty of content and I bet they change things. tona different rewards system down the line here. Other things will be important. The pxp grind and all the other programs they run. there will be reason to play online, even if its just pxp at first. I'm still pumped.
-
@GoozeFn my thoughts exactly on events I don't see a reason for playing events jn 25 because they're are no event rewards outside the win streak I think they just lumped "event reward" cards into the multi-player program with the 2 new legend cards
-
@ChAoTiC_Engineer They could fix it pretty easily by simply giving program progress for each event win.

If you arent good enough to go 10-0 I highly doubt the extra month of slow power creep is going to make those cards unplayable for you. Skill is by an enormously large margin more important than an 89 vs a 87
-
@GoozeFn that’s what I’m saying !!!
As it currently stands, you’re better off losing an event game 7-5 but farming stats for the program instead of winning a game 2-0 but you don’t get as many hits / runs for the program missions.
HOW IN THE WORLD DOES that make any sense !? Winning is irrelevant in events unless for go 9-1 or whatever and you get a low diamond live series. Even that reward is only
Gonna have decent value the first month or so. -

Nice way to look at it. You can get the BR rewards without playing BR (only for 1 hit
)
