    The best way to earn XP is by playing RTTS, but only if you

    1. Change difficulty to beginner
    2. Modify sliders
    3. Change settings so you only play during at bats (& not fielding or base running)

    Games take 2 mins and give you anywhere b/w 300 & 700 XP on avg.

    is this better than RTTS as a pitcher?

    I think so. Alot of times I replay that first showdown and do just the final one.

    I've been playing RTTS for fun and been getting a ton of XP per 5 minute game. Yes, you can get more xp grinding the HR derby, but I'd rather have fun while playing lol. I play as a SS and get anywhere between 300-800 XP per game (which lasts anywhere between 5-10 minutes usually).

    timing HR derby it is actually worse than it seems. the load time into the game takes it down to like 85-95 xp / min (load screen, waiting on players, and play time). just running moments over and over is 100-120 xp/minute. So far, I think showdowns are still the best xp/min but you have to be able to complete them for the bonus xp.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Create your player & get drafted
    2. Add your equipment to player
    3. Adjust sliders
    4. Go to settings -> Gameplay options->Hitting difficulty->change to Beginner
    5. Go to settings -> Mode specific options->turn off fielding opportunities & base running opportunities
    6. Games take abt 2 mins & give u an avg 400 xp

    IMPORTANT: Swing early for more home runs

    I use the 2 player HR derby bc it has less loading. My math is different bc I dont always actually play as much as I let it run. If I just load up an at bat you can strike out and click to restart. These usually take 60 seconds and you get 110 xp. Showdown has its own time to get into the next moment and upgrading the team

    Did a 6 game time trial on this.
    game 1 - 250 xp
    game 2 - 335xp
    game 3 - 535xp
    game 4 - 505xp
    game 5 - 335xp
    game 6 - 630xp

    Time it took to get through menus and forced training between games and play games was 20 minutes.

    thats 130xp / min. not bad if you can make sure to get 3+hits a game (which isnt very hard to do)

    time trial on this:
    25 HR and 25HR by both players
    6 minutes
    208xp/min

    we have a winner.

    I never played offline, never realized you could speed this up. nice call!

    That might be the most efficient way of getting XP but the best way is just playing the game for your enjoyment and racking up XP along the way

    Yes and make sure you hold triangle after the ball is hit. That speeds it up. so you can get 10 home runs in 60 seconds when you are rolling

    I do agree, I got to prestige levels and never played 1 round of HR derby and just played every part DD possible. But some people enjoy grinding and want to know... now they know what to be spending their time on.

    yup i did that in the time trial. and that was just one round, the you can keep "retrying" afterword which takes maybe 1 minute off from the play selection and load. so really its about 230xp/min for every round after the first one.

    20 mins seems like a while. Did u turn off fielding and base running opportunities?

    HR derby. 8 players. Arcade mode. You can hit 24-30 hr’s per player each round. Right around 9,000xp when finished. Haven’t timed it but feels like maybe 30min or so
