@GoozeFn_PSN It's so marked a difference year on year. I'm based in the UK and so multiplayer games of MLB are a bit hit and miss when it comes to gameplay (and with it enjoyment of The Show), and with it being a long weekend here this weekend, I could have put a bit of time into grinding the XP path to get close to Randy or Ruth (I'm on around 190K in S2), but to give less program XP across MiniSeason/Conquest/Program combined than you would get on a Program last year, just made me go think about playing something else this weekend.

I'll still sit and play my Diamondbacks Franchise, but I'm not going to be looking to grind towards DD goals, rewards and collections.

A comparison of XP per year:

New Threads program in 25 gave 35k XP, this year, the New Threads Program and CityScapes Program don't give that amount combined
MiniSeasons in 25 gave 20K-54K XP, the CityScapes MiniSeason this year just 15K

New Threads Program in 25 = 35K XP towards the season program
Both the CityScapes and New Threads program in 26 don't add up to that amount

MIniSeasons in 25 added 54K XP, the CityScapes XP is 15K

Yowzers!!

There are some badly curated moments in the Carter player program - the first one is down right ridiculous one. 1 Plate Appearance, Hit 1 Home Run, Don't make 1 Out against the Blue Jays closer, which is Jordan Romano who has a ridiculous windup and awful attributes for a hitting moment (high H/9 low BB/9 - and even worse with the Roster Update) so even when he does put one over the plate it is a tough pitch.

Was just about to come in and ask the same. This would be a really good QoL improvement

@SJR15ITFC said in You can replay Run it Back Conquest or Showdown to get as many packs as you want...:

people on Instagram saying this is going to crash the market.... am I missing something? why would these cards affect the price of all the others? because people buy up cards that they wouldn't have done otherwise in an attempt to complete Trout? or am I just being stupid?

thanks all.

The only impact could be the price on lower Prime cards towards the Trout collection. The Ducks in a Pond cards are already bottomed out - as with currently 4 'free' Prime cards through this program, there will not be as much demand for the lower Prime cards (Carpenter/Soria/Dozier etc) so those that are looking to cash in might start fulfilling the buy orders to cash out.

Curiously I got a bunch of drops yesterday morning (UK time) - guess this was the result of Friday/Saturday's viewings without receiving the drops, but then nothing for the rest of the day despite watching streams while playing the game.

So after 10 hours in streams today, and 10 hours in stream yesterday I've not received a single drop.
This after getting 10 drops (including 2 from the 8th Inning stream) on Thursday.

Have unlinked and relinked a couple of times.

Strange that the HRD XP is being nerfed, that XP has been the same for years +25XP per Home Run. However there might be a reason why people have more time to play that mode this year, and get all that XP.

The MTO points 'bug' actually seemed like a goodwill gesture from SDS given the state of the actual gameplay within DD, but alas not. There is now little reason to continue playing that mode given that doing it with the same team more than once seems dull as you'll make the same player moves each time. Disappointing.

When the livestream schedule was announced, the franchise improvements were promising. What was delivered today was nothing.

Rebranding - only 2 Uniform Options for the rebranded teams. Not even Alternates. Seems a plaster to enable some customisation.
Changing the location and name of the team, yet having to use branded stadiums - so rebrand the Phillies to the Jawns, using Citizen Bank and having Phillies lit up in Left Field just ruins the immersion.
I'm not asking for a stadium creator - but not having some Generic MLB size stadiums to 'relocate' to seems like half an idea.

Nothing also mentioned about some of the bug bears with Franchise in 19 - like interleague rotating schedules, fantasy draft only having teams field 1 catcher.

Why not even import some of the relationship stuff from RTTS into Franchise, or Pitchers learning new pitches in Franchise mode.
