Ways to Save Extreme
-
Dear SDS,
Since this year’s game’s M.O is the best cards are in packs, you should put one Choice Pack of the 5 Extreme Cards, and sell it in the store (limit it to one per player).
-
Y'all just need to play the dang game and you'll eventually get it finished.
Its not supposed to be finished right away; unless youre a really good player.
Besides, none of the rewards are must have cards. Theres better, or close enough, cards available for each position.
Some of you just want stuff handed to you.

That's just human nature, wanting things easy. Life can be hard sometimes, so.....
Another thing is not everyone is going to need a baseball fix, deep into November. I usually play up until January the latest, because if there is no real-life season alongside it, for me the desire fades. I haven't even bought NHL '26 yet, and Hockey is my favorite sport. The hunger isn't there for that yet. I used to play EASHL year-round. NBA regular season even starts today, and I could care less. Maybe because I got my fill with WNBA. I love that weird league! -
it's extreme for a reason and if you don't have the time or the ability to complete it then that geeked out 99 card isn't going to be the difference in your ranked winning experience anyway. I'm not going to get the extreme card(s) and i'm not worried about it. I can't hit anything thrown by most of these high 99 pitchers now anyway. lol

Almost nobody wants this, and it disingenuous to say thats what people are asking for. So knock off that [censored].
There is an in between between play at difficulty levels that many consider unfun (and may be impossible for some) and play for 400 hours
And that in between existed in recent years

Let me start off by saying that I don't care about these cards so don't go accusing me of wanting stuff for free..
But I do disagree with statement I quoted. I have roughly 300 hours played and I only have 378K of PXP for the year (7 months in). There is no way that I would ever get 800K more in the 5 remaining months.
I mean, the My Legacy programs PXP rewards top out at 500K and that is meant to be a year long mission so asking players to earn 800K as the game and content are in the waning part of the year means that almost nobody will earn these cards just by playing the game.

Couldn't agree with you more @Dolenz_PSN .
If these "Pro" players get these cards quickly I'm fine with it. Don't lump everyone else in saying we want stuff handed to or you just have to play the game it may be true for the few minority but not the vast majority. I just don't have the time with my busy life schedule and I'm okay with that and I'm okay with however everyone else chooses to go about this program, I'm okay with the absurd nature that SDS has presented this program, I'm okay not having these cards and I'm okay using Fernando Tatis jr or Corey Seager Awards instead of the "Meta God" Elly De La Cruz. But don't brush a broad stoke across everyone basically saying we are lazy and want something for nothing.

Please re-read the last sentence in my previous post and realize that I wrote SOME OF YOU.

Who are the some of you? My point is, it is a broad stroke and it's very ambiguous.

I feel like there should be some sort of collection or exchange involved where you can spend a lot of stubs for program progress with chase cards or something like that
-
What if they put a voucher in the Team Affinity path for each team at 1 million points? It would be roughly the equivalent of all goals except 1 of the final ones (I'm a Cardinals fan but I'm never sniffing the hits requirement to get the #1 Fan icon for them). Make them 3 or 4 points per redemption. That would reward those that have done an 'extreme' grind throughout the year.
-
Listen, a mini season would be nice LIKE WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST. Nobody is saying having something handed to you on a silver plate is the answer, but give us a little something other than DQ, moments, conquest, & showdown (and nobody plays events so that doesn't count).
-
Extreme mini season??? I just played a play it back mini seaon game, the cpu pitched 11 straight balls and then with a 3-0 count on the 3rd batter dots 3 straight strikes. 1 down on the inside corner, 1 down on the outside corner and finally 1 up on the inside corner. That's on Veteran difficulty. That's pretty extreme. I shutter to think how the cpu pitchers would pitch on extreme mini seasons. I'll pass on that. I like adding a voucher to TA idea that someone came up with in one of the threads to reward the grinders
-
@RealMessiah_XBL 15% is the equivalent of about 1,400 home runs, so if you're there with 'normal gameplay', you must be playing this game for many hours a day.
-
@TheBigPapa55_PSN Exactly.
I truly feel many of those defending such onerous requirements are those who don't want others to have the same rewards they do.
I was fortunate enough to get John Donaldson straight away and I was still advocating for SDS to help others get him sooner.
The whole 'i have grinded harder/played better therefore I deserve more than you' mentality sucks.

eXtreme does not want help … it is for the „extreme“ good players

Do people realize it is an extreme program, it’s supposed to be difficult, wanting to get the rewards without it being difficult would defeat the purpose and just make it a regular program, it’s like saying to your company that you want overtime pay like the people that are doing overtime, but i don’t want to stay cause it’s to difficult for me. I realize this program is tough ,hence the word extreme,if the challenge is to tough , skip it, do not make the program non extreme or take the word extreme out of it and a call it ‘ the slightly harder than the regular programs program.

@icebergslim7669_PSN
Did I not just say that we don't necessarily want it easy? All I said was that a voucher exchange on LEGEND would be nice. Is that honestly so bad? Does that take away Extreme's integrity? Jesus Christ man -

Yeah, give us a repeatable mini season to do. It's gonna take time, what's the issue? Loved doing it last year with theme teams. Remember theme teams, where the captains weren't just for one team, they had different ones like Hall of Fame pitchers, Monthly Awards and Topps Now.
It's the end of the game's cycle, give us an easier way that will take some time.

That’s all most of us are asking for as we are willing to grind for it. The elitists that want to exclude lesser skilled players from the rewards seem to forget this is just a game. It’s not real life and at the end of the day nobody is impressed with their skill in a video game.
Skill should allow you to get the rewards quicker but ultimately should be achievable by all players in a semi reasonable time frame.
