As an offline player, I get the hint

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

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL events were always programs. Where have you been? They changed it last year.

You know. The fix for “The Mexico City Series “ is really really really simple.
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.
Edit:
Here’s another easy solution: make a repeatable conquest map similar to last year’s Orioles/Reds/Pirates one where you get a sellable 3 card diamond pack (from various programs).Want to make it fun? Have it be 3 rounds of 3 cards and we get to choose. Want to make it epic? Each round has higher rated cards than previous round. Watch all the offline grinding frustration go away!
Again, so simple!

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.

@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.

Bro, no sense arguing with that fool, either he's an idiot and just doesn't get it or he's a plant.... or both... I believe the middle option more than the former or later option.

I used to grind to finish the programs and inning paths when it was worth it.
Now it’s hardly worth the time. I used to play three or four offline games vs cpu a night…tonight I played one…and shut it off.
There’s just zero incentive anymore.

They are very actively pushing casual single player DD players away, which is insane, since that is most of the DD player base. Still no repeatable for packs conquest. Requiring playing on All-Star for the reward card in Mini-Seasons.
I actually liked the 11 All-Star wins mission. I went 11 - 5 to do it, switched back to Rookie and finished the season. No other reason to play that mini-season so back to repeating WBC over and over for 5 Ballin packs...now bored with that as well.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS you know that the way most people make money is by grinding mini seasons or diamond quest right? You don't make any stubs playing multi-player.
-
If you play on rookie, you’ll get a Ballin 5 pack just about every run through on the New Threads MS for the strikeouts, if not every run through, about every 1.5 times through.

I've always said multiplayer should have a wheel.
But that DQ map people grind? Released March 13th That miniseason people grind? Also released March 13th. Even new threads has been over a month.
Inning 2 comparison:
Offline: 13000xp
Online: 110000xpOffline: 0 sellable cards
Online: 8 sellable cards (not counting weekend classic)Online pack rewards are far better than offline pack rewards
Yes, the new mini season on Friday may shift things a little, but its almost a guarantee to be too little too late for xp
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Online is far more rewarding. It’s just not repeatable.

And I dont have an issue with it being more rewarding in packs, but the xp shouldnt be so imbalanced
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS I have completed at least 50 mini seasons by now and completed every love series team except Yankees. Grinding is the way everyone does it.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Oh I agree. Last year we had significantly more programs with xp chunks.

Maybe actually read the post that started this. Nowhere does it say stubs.
It does say content and xp though. 3 conquest maps (none of which are large). 1 showdown. 13k xp.
And grinding launch content for packs to sell players for stubs to buy new players is an atrocious content loop.

It’s a hamster wheel is what it is, and there are two ways to get off of it: burn some cash and/or go play/do something else. It doesn’t have to be like this.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN If you really believe that, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. Offline players do not drop loads of money on the game like online sweats and try hards. There may be a few here and there, but the majority are online sweats.
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL It is nearly there. They just have to do a few more scummy things to go full blown EAids.
