I think all that people mean is you don’t have to spend stubs to get the card

All of the above

@browntown1022_psn said in XP reduced after update 14?:

I seem to only be getting 25-30% of the XP I was getting in all game modes after the most recent update. Did something change?

I can’t answer the question, but I have also been getting low xp

In my experience, directional is good for home runs (especially when you wait for an off speed hanging pitch, or a very situational set up (something like defensive shifts or perhaps avoiding a double play). But I find zone more effective to get general hits because I feel I have more control on where in the zone i want to hit the ball (top or bottom part of the bat)……in short I find that when you are set up in a situation (like a moment) directional is useful, but when I need tb’s or just wanna fill the bases, I find zone more helpful……everyone is different though I’m sure.

I feel like making myself get used to zone has helped me improve a lot faster than I would have with directional, because when I make a bad swing I have better feedback to tell me exactly what I did wrong.

I can totally echo this! I find it useful in exactly the way you just said.

I also enjoy moments but I agree with all of this, these things are even more annoying when you are well into a multi game moment.

Ive opened who knows how many, pulled Bob Gibson but thats it in terms of the actual headliner, Ive pulled regular diamonds from them a few times though.

OP paid his money for the game, and is entitled to make his own opinions about the game, and a forum is a platform to express yourself about your feelings on the game…..I don’t always agree with what the OP posts but it doesn’t stop me liking the game either……my only question to the OP is what do you hope to gain from it? If its solely just to vent then ok, but posting every day won’t change your enjoyment of the game, maybe just don’t play it anymore or give yourself a break from it….idk each to their own.

Goose Gossage

100% if your in a bad situation goose always gets out of it

I feel that hitting the first pitch might have something to do with it......im not saying you cant do it, but its like the chances seem to always be against you early count vs the cpu.........still stupid, but that fly to centre (a ball thats carrying....etc) Ive seen this outcome so many times when I hit the first pitch perfect. It sucks for sure.

Run Forrest run Forrest run…….

@samguenther1987 said in Got Marcus Semien as vsCPU game reward.:

I got Trout for logging in back in early July and a Bieber LS card as a reward for the CPU on rookie. It happens but it's rare

Trout on log-in....[censored].....thats nice!.

@ibonafidescrub_ said in Got Marcus Semien as vsCPU game reward.:

All I get is commons for beating the cpu on Legend, lol.

lol I feel you thats usually the case for me too.

I never thought id ever see it.....a diamond for a 9 inning game reward grinding against the cpu.....Lucky?, or have I been really unlucky all this time?

I was born and raised in the UK and they just don't sell cards, later in my life I married a Texan, when we would visit her folks, I (a grown [censored] man) would splurge on packs, and had so much fun collecting them, feel like I kinda missed out all those years, same too with being able to go to an actual ball park and watch live games, I was like a big kid.

btw your collection here is so [censored] cool!

Chipper will always be worth it….also papi….when chippers up and you have runners on base you know it’s on.

Eck for me, hes nasty

I love directional, Its really good against the cpu, directional has a certain way with it that can be used effectively, against the cpu, but it takes a while to really understand its ways, if that makes sense. Directional can be a lot of fun, but....take it from me, LEARN ZONE, it will save you time in the long run, you need zone hitting for online play, I feel, and if you use directional to much it seems kinda hard in a way to try and switch to zone. Thats my honest opinion, stay using directional if you are a offline player its fun to use, but learn zone if you really want to play online too.

You are in my head man. This is exactly spot on.

lol dude I thought the same thing from your post!

I always try to flip cards to get trout, and then after that I just can't bare to flip any more and then I just complete programs and sell dupes...this year its not too bad, actually the game is very rewarding this year......you probs won't be able to get every card this way, but ive been able to complete the LS got Jackie and did the flashbacks for mo.....obviously getting lucky with packs will help but with all the free packs and stubs from programs its imo not that bad at all......you do have to play quite a bit though...and inning programs do also help.
