@Teak2112_MLBTS either way you should know that you will have to do something other than just offline only to get what you desire. I just don’t get why you would spend money on a game just to run the same mini seasons 30 times in a row.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS said:

@TripleH-4481_PSN well it’s that what you want do you gotta realize they aren’t just gonna cater to your needs only.

so we should lay down and accept it? like someone else posted, this game use to give us the choice to get the same cards either via offline or online play. Now everything is skewed towards online.

Anyone remember when SDS used to say “play your way” or “ finish programs your way”? Haven’t heard that in a long time.

they scrapped that when this new management team took over. Many ppl identified this about 2/3 years ago when the change started to happen. Don't be surprised in the next couple of years this game looks like EA or 2K where to get the best players you have to get via playing online or pay a significant amount of real money.

Simply put a repeatable PXP requirement in there and EVERYONE is happy. Make it 5k, we don’t care. Just give us an offline way to finish. Same with JR program. A repeatable 4242k requirement.

Finish the program “your way”. I mean, seriously. It is so so so darn easy.

Even if the offline database is larger, the online players spending 20x+ the amount of the game on intangible items has to be a goldmine for them.

Exactly my point! Requiring showdowns or making only one possible path to finish programs was bad enough. But making players go online when offline is their jam is another. The Mexico City program situation someone mentioned is a perfect example. That and the Seoul program used to be a normal program you could complete online or offline. Now it’s predominantly an online event program. They’re trying to make everyone participate that way.

There is a reason for that. It’s now play our way and like it or leave it.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL He's talking about XP, not stubs.

i have like half way for the 2nd program xp. last program I was done way early because they had more offline play to offer. I don't think I can complete it in another 12 days.

also the last 2 events have been really boring.

Bobby Grich sells for 9k today, 10k yesterday - if you get him and the other guys in that DQ, you make about 20k per run. Channel the 15 year old in you that would've gone all night and you can rack up 200k stubs in a day doing this.

Also, mini seasons grind is still a really decent farming method for packs - probably the best ever?

So what is meant is - there's nothing NEW yo do offline. Next week looks better, but good offline grinds like TA are just not being supported

This guy apollo doesn’t get it. Yes, I got the game to play DD offline only. I have no desire to deal with the online stuff and play the game to relax and unwind not be uber competitive and sweat it out. If online is your thing more power to you but it’s not for me. All I’m asking for offline is to be given a chance to play thru programs even its a slower pace than higher difficulties/online play.

I enjoy it for a bit then get to the point where all you see is sliders away to take advantage of shrinkage and go back to offline until i stop playing for the year. I just don’t find the spamming of same pitches and pitchers “skill” and enjoy playing an offline game at a higher difficulty with real pitch mixes much more enjoyable

Obviously, yeah, if the content continues the way it is, I will quit bothering to check the game and obviously I'll never buy or even look at it again, because why would I? This is not a "oh, they might fix it next year" situation like NHL is. This is a "fix it soon or I'm done for life" one. I've put thousands of hours in MLB. I don't want to walk away. That doesn't mean I won't. They are taking us for granted. That is a mistake.

Still no repeatable for packs conquest. Requiring playing on All-Star for the reward card in Mini-Seasons. Preparing to require certain difficulties for things as simple as XP rewards in the reward path (the only reason it would say get X HRs on any difficulty, which it never has before). I have played very little this year, despite this being my main game for the last decade. It is very clear they don't want people that don't spend money, apparently fundamentally misunderstanding that the FTP players are required to prop up the whale economy. They also just don't seem to be putting much effort at all into this year. Sets and Seasons sucked, but at least they were trying. I'm not so sure that's true this year. Certainly doesn't seem like it. It looks like they've already checked out, knowing what is coming next year.

I had the event program done in about 90ish minutes and that included stopping to eat dinner and watching some actual baseball.

The requirements to finish the base program aren’t hard at all. Winning 5 games on all-star may suck for you. But then again, you may have to use your brain and lay off a slider outside the zone.
