Why is it so hard to complete the innings?

    I've played every day, every weekend, had both bosses for the boost and I'm still 140k xp away from 500k. This is ridiculous. Casual gamers and people who hold full time jobs can't even finish the inning programs anymore. All it has done is make me not even want to play anymore. It seems like an impossible task and a lot of time wasted for nothing. What has this game come to?

    They’re about to release a “xp pack” in the store like EA and 2K any day now I’m pretty sure.

    Only the cheaters are allowed to progress in the game. Meanwhile im sitting over here in mini seasons on all star trying to get four lousy Xb hits with Kinsler. Hitting perfect perfect line drive outs with him, or they are singles because the cpu outfield rarely lets a hard hit ball get by them. Im very close to being done with this game. Game has become an unbelievable waste of time. Btw im online player and still only have 430k xp in the path

    500k xp is a joke to get to. Way to hard for average players. Going to end up playing less because what's the point i'll never get to the Boss pack

    I bet they add a lot of XP to the spotlight program Tuesday.

    It will need to be a couple of hundred thousand for me to get a boss!

    This is the hardest season/inning in recent years by far. Even the first year they nerfed gameplay xp and had a terrible first inning, that was worse.

    Since i was inexplicably unable to hit anything offline I played some online for the first time this inning and got up to Murray, including playing enough to get the 10k in events and Im still only at 415K. If I getup to 140 in multiplayer and had played the other events I still would be borderline on finishing.

    A lack of content.

    TA wallpapered over this issue in innings one, but innings two has exposed the fact they have slacked off badly with content.

    Not nearly enough content, and what we got wasn't nearly as rewarding as last year.

    I hope this is addressed in innings 3.
    If not, it does not auger well for the future of the mode.

    I'm still thinking that JR day and 3 spotlight drops weren't the plan for the first 3 weeks of inning 2,cityscapes and the Thursday program were supposed release a week or 2 ago and something happened to delay it, of course we won't know for sure cause they didn't release any info but that is what I think happened.

    Anyone know why those 2 dreary-looking cards in the path are both RedSox? The first one did nothing for me during Bosox TA! I just got Doerr, but he's slow as molasses!
    I've always made at least 1 wheel spin. I may miss the first two. Incredible.

    I think they are experimenting to see if people will actually buy both bosses instead of just one. In other words they don’t intend for people to finish the path. Anything to squeeze out extra stub sales at this point as I’m sure they already know this game is going to fall off harder and earlier than usual.

    Sounds like it has to do with how you're playing. Maybe mix up your team so you can double dip into TA and TA#1 fan stuff. I've played way less 2nd inning and have had the path complete for a week before this double xp weekend that I have to work during.

    What are you talking about?

    There was no TA in inning 2. There will never be TA again. #1 fan has no xp.

    Sounds like rhyno didn’t do much of the TA program in the first inning and that was his crutch for inning 2.

    Guessing those of us struggling for XP right now finished most of if not all of TA during inning 1 so now there is no content for inning 2. If this isn’t the case for him then like you I have no idea what he is talking about.

    In game XP being pitiful doesn't help, the XP rewards themselves in the paths are not enough. Normally, personally I can usually lean on the MP path to pick up anywhere from 50k to 100k extra XP, but with some of the missions being event or BR based (both modes I actively TRY to avoid because of the WAAC players), that's been tough. Yeah I could play solo ranked online more, which is a fair argument...but the rewards in the Inning paths just aren't worth the frustration.

    I feel for everyone. It's definitely lack of content and no love for offline gamers. I play everyday and I play a lot and I'm still not done with the program. This past Friday's drop took nothing more than a few hours to complete and by Sunday there is nothing to do again. Repeatable conquest maps where only the final reward is available just doesn't cut it, a long grind through Diamond Quest ro MAYBE get the reward is garbage, and repeating mini seasons is boring. Oh not to mention TA has been done for weeks.

    The only thing that makes sense (to me) is that they devoted all their resources to the Mobile game going live this Inning.

    Don’t like that, but explains it anyway….

    I don’t know that it’s that tough , maybe a bit tougher than last year, but i finished the xp path in mlb as well as the one in nhl simultaneously, and i work full time with a wife and kid, I’m guessing some of the people that don’t finish it either just play just offline or hust online, if you play both it’s very doable.

    I play a ton, and I just made it this weekend (the 20k xp from finishing multiplayer put me over the top). Normally I would have had a bunch of wheel spins... meaning a bunch of 5 packs.
