And confirmation that they are working on fixing the WBC mini season to restore the championship reward. So two bits of potentially good news.

I've logged 250hrs and i still need 18k. Need to do a ton of grading this week so I may not finish. I should've finished the 125k i needed over double xp weekend but game play XP was throttled during this inning compared to 1st inning. So unless some intern keyed in the wrong value like Bungie programmers supposedly did when they were caught doing the same thing, it's intentional.

I played 5 hours Sunday night consisting of a couple of conquest games and several 3- and 9-inning mini season games and got a whopping 20k XP. That's with double XP going on. Something was seriously off this inning.

One other helpful thing is that this inning is a week longer than the 2nd inning. So we have extra time to get fewer XP points and at least at the start they seem more generous with the XP.

It's an annoying two part task. As you move to your left and time slows down you get a large circle and you have to hit X in the small ring and it will turn green showing that you fielded the grounder correctly. Then you hit the triangle (PS5) to throw to 2nd base at which point you get the random guitar hero thing where you have to click the correct button sequence and it will complete the double play from there. Since part of the challenge is to win the game you can't just throw to first because the runner at 3rd will score, you have to go for the double play.

Just like DQ rewards. And it gives players that are good a chance to make some extra stubs if they want to repeat just like DQ!

I am in general agreement that the program is a good idea, however it would be nice if they swung this the other way and allowed the casual grinders chances to sell cards too.

Its fine for skilled (or willing to cheese) players having more stub per hour potential, but mini seasons havent evolved enough for the casual crowd. We are still only giving out deluxe packs, not even choice, and all mini season/conquest cards are no sell

Again, letting people playing on HoF/Legend get faster stubs is fine, but they need to bring up the other side a bit as well. Theres too much RNG with show/non choice deluxe packs especially now that even most 90 live series dont sell for much.

Agreed. They showed by doing this that they are open to allowing rewards from certain modes to be sellable that previously haven't been. There are plenty of people that don't like conquest or mini seasons but those are my favorite modes so I would be happy to grind those repeatedly and sell the extras to those who would rather spend their time playing their preferred modes just as I was happy to pay 22k for DeGrom rather than flail away in a mode that I don't particularly care for.

Great post, as a long time player I totally agree. This is the first year since DD began that I'm close to checking out before the all star break.

Agreed. Having just one fairly short TA at the start of the season has left a gaping content hole this year. They seemed to hint on the opening day stream that there would be some sort of similar content to replace it but that clearly hasn't happened, unless their idea of "similar content" is cityscapes, murals and vintage.

They seem pretty much of a muchness once you've done all the agendas once.

They did say they'd be properly fixing the WBC Mini Seasons, so hopefully that's soon because i miss it.

Lately i've just been doing the April Flowers Conquest.
20 standards is not great, but it's better than nothing.

The newest conquest has a repeatable reward of 3 ballin packs and is a little smaller. I'm debating which is better between playing 11 games for 20 standard packs or 8 games for 3 ballins. Neither is great but it's good to break up the MS monotony.
