How are you doing with the XP Reward Path?
-
393,831 xp total

Not sure where to post this, but I guess it’s related to this XP Path thread….
Just played a 9 inning Cityscape mini season game. On Veteran. scored 10 runs on 15 hits. Gave up 2. Got a 3-inning save out of it. Homers, doubles, triples, stolen bases.
Got 2,167 XP. You read that right. 2-1-6-7.
Sheesh. And for that, I just passed the 320k mark and got (drum roll please)….1500 stubs.
At this rate, I’ll need to play at about 10 more 9 inning mini season games to JUST GET the Live Series 85+ pack.
This is ridiculous. I have stronger words, but they’d be censored.
-
You had a whole month. Plus double xp weekend. Plenty of people made it. Especially since they lowered it by 100k. So by all means use those strong words you use on every inconvenience.
-
Just got there ... scraping every team affinity and wbc xp I had left still to complete. This is my first boss claimed this year. All done offline as I can't dependably play online ... need to be able to put switch 2 down at moment's notice to help with family life.
-
Finally finished last night after completing the new conquest.
-
I'm about 350k but I haven't tried to finish it or I would. Definitely easier than last time though.

This highlights the biggest problem with XP this year. I have had the same routine for years which is to play roughly 5 hours per session about 3-4 times per week. In years past I would earn 20-25K XP of game XP in a typical session. This year I'm getting about 10k for the same amount of time played.

There's never anything on the XP path that I covet other than potentially selling the final bosses if I get there. The 85 Live Series was a decent reward but I knew ahead of time that I was gonna get an 85 before I reached that point (which I did, Jacob Wilson).
Personally, I'm shifting to playing less overall but more online. The offline grind isn't worth it at all for me anymore and I don't have the stamina nor time to play extensively online. Probably better for me anyway, need more mental stimulation lol.

@dfwrazorback_MLBTS what are you playing for 5 hrs and only getting 10k. You could win a mini season and get more than that.

I was mid-typing this same sort of response.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re not getting the final XP reward each inning it’s due to one of two things:
-
Not playing enough. Which is fine. Some of us are grown adults who don’t want or need to be playing video games as much as I, also a grown adult, do. But if this is you, don’t complain. The fix is to play more, as it really should be. You get rewarded for playing, not existing.
-
Not being efficient with your play time. I’ve mentioned this numerous times in other threads, but you should be able to meet the XP requirements just by playing mini seasons. Just by repeating conquests. Things like that. Honestly, efficient plays vs. CPU games could work.
Now I will admit, there could be a whole number of reasons why either reason one or two are happening, but “lack of content“ and “it’s too hard“ or pretty much any other reason are not legitimate complaints when it comes to not completing the XP path.

The bonus XP rewards for mini seasons and conquests aren't repeatable. I have completed every mini season so when I replay one for the other repeatable rewards the XP I get from just game XP is about 10k in a typical evening which is about half what I would get in previous years. Again, I'm just talking about game XP and not the one off bonus XP from programs, conquests and mini seasons. As it happens I just got to 400k last night. Before this year I would have had multiple wheel spins by the end of an inning.

-
After the Double XP weekend I hit 320k. Might have had a shot had they extended double XP through the end of the inning but alas.
-
I have believed all year that they are trying to force people to play online. If you don't play online, you have almost no chance of completing the xp path. They have drifted so far from play how you want, and it's so disappointing
-
I hate that they told yall play how you want lol. You can absolutely do that but you are leaving xp on the table. There was 238k of just offline programs/missons with the three mini seasons championships. And that’s without counting gameplay xp.

Mini seasons, you can get the xp from only 1 time. So if you did them in a prior season, you're out of luck. I personally wish they would make the xp attainable again for mini seasons every inning as they do with pvp

I have played zero online games this year. I went on a 4-day trip two weeks ago. I have a full time job, plus a wife and two kids that take my time also. I got the path done AND a bonus wheel spin already. I’m halfway to another spin. I just don’t get it. How are people not finishing it?
The big test will be this upcoming path. I will be gone for 13 days in the middle of June. If I still end up getting the path, then I don’t know what to tell you all…
-

I know for me personally I try to avoid any online play because of all the shenanigans, and I'm frankly not that good. I do know there's a ton of XP in the MP path as well, but I usually only play coop with a buddy...but that's been a gongshow all year so far with zero signs of improvement. The game itself being pretty bad has kind of pushed me away too.
This inning in particular I was sick for about two weeks, also had a health scare with my heart which made me tired constantly...so I had zero energy to play. Side note, guys please for the love of god if anything's bothering you go check it out...forget that stigma of "toughing it out", please remember to take care of yourselves.
-
Yes, it should always be said, that personal health should be a priority! No one should ever feel bad that they didn’t finish the next pee path because they were taking care of themselves!
Get well!
-
@DivineFury75_PSN you still get 238k. And you get xp for just playing the game. If you are determined to not playing online then you are making hard on yourself.
-
If you haven’t played ANYTHING online, please pass on how you completed this Inning path.
Please be very specific. I assure you, I’m not trolling. Nor will I criticize. I play often. All offline modes. (Only play Showdown and DQ sparingly). On Veteran (strictly). I haven’t gotten anywhere near the bosses, much less a wheel spin. I had to buy the first two bosses (at 20k apiece)
Thanks in advance!!
