if you sAy So. Some people Have all Of the Luck, Eh?

The game has been out for seven months and is nearly dead. I haven’t done the calculations, but others who agree with me about this on other threads have said that the PXP needed to do 20 repeatable 40k missions is greater than what they’ve done so far in all of ’25 and since Self ball punching is not an option for me, I’ll pass on the extreme program until other options are there. Still gaining towards the repeatable in the mean time with regular play, though.

@Dolenz_PSN
The point is that players should be able to choose the “talented” or “persistent” route. Talented players will have it done already or in a much shorter amount of time. persistent players (i.e. less talented players like me) will take a lot longer. Some players are in-between. I think I did the extreme mini season championship on veteran or all-star at least three times in ’24 to complete the extreme program last year. And they also had lengthy missions with cards in the program. and I persisted at some of the doable moments. in ‘22 and ‘23 I did the conquest after many tries and I was proud of myself because I put myself out there to win HOF games. In ‘24 and ‘25 I skipped the conquest (last year because there were preferable options and this year because I’m giving up until they offer more progress options). Better players will not need to do the lengthy options because they can do the more difficult showdown and moments and conquest much faster than I did the mini seasons. How much and what manner of lengthy, easier progress is offered can certainly be debated, but it should not be made as impossible as it is right now. I shouldn’t have to need to play past the launch of ‘26 to finish the program, Which is basically what I would have to do the way the progress is offered now.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN
Not much time left for event at this point. I did that for awhile but playing at speeds I’m not used to playing is like (as someone else at my skill level said in another thread) “punching yourself in the balls.”

And I might be able to do a handful of HOF games in one turn on a conquest, but not the 10 they are requiring.

@NotesOfJohn_MLBTS
Lots of us in this boat.

If not, still never completing the extreme program

@Mcferra-_PSN

With all the double PXP they offer this year, 40k is understandable. I just can’t believe that there are so few ways to earn program progress. No Mini?! No missions with extreme program cards?!

Don’t they usually have missions with cards from the extreme program? I remember having to parallel Kerry wood up to five one year and getting 100 base hits with some batter another year. Can’t they put something big like a few hundred TB with Buxton or Ks with Clemens? Or something repeatable other than 40k PXP? Otherwise I’ll finish just in time for the show ’26 (or never)

I wonder if the same ones taking the owners side are the same ones who always defend SDS devs.

Anyone else notice the mix up with Devin Williams and dontrelle Willis? The image for the Willis cornerstone pre-card (rookie) is shown for a Williams card (also rookie) available on the market. Williams is 94 (I think) and Willis is 85 (I think). am I seeing this right? And which one is part of the rookie collection?

Same thing happened on the final stadium of a diamond quest for me last week. Lost all my treasure. happened on other occasions as well.

@yankblan_PSN
Thanks. Hoping it was simpler than that and that I had missed something

Sidenote, question: do you really need to play the spring breakout showdown four times to complete the spring breakout collection? Sorry if this was already in another thread.

Same here. Agree 100%.

I turn off zone hitting and use timing or directional when I face a knuckler

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN
OK, thank you. I was exactly worried about that: having to do all those missions with every single team, which seemed impossible. Hopefully, they will have something repeatable that will qualify for all teams in an entire division. Or maybe a conquest or two.

So according to my math, to be able to get the all-star and finest vouchers and ignore everything after that, we have to do everything offered except clubhouse leaders and 10k TA XP, which we could skip? Is that right? Am I missing something?

@markemark_NSW
Turns out Rickey became the all-time leader in runs and walks in 2001 with the Padres. That must have been what I was thinking about him doing with San Diego. Bonds eventually broke his walks record, but Rickey still has the most runs.

@beatlesnews_PSN
I guess you’re right. Didn’t realize that he played so many years after passing Brock.

@xsdert34_PSN
Also, I think he broke Lou Brock’s career stolen base record while with the Padres. We’ll miss Rickey.
