Hi guys. In last feature premiere they said that all the final players from 1st inning program are very much accessible to all players just through playing the game. So I done some math on if that is really true. And you know? It is not. Here is comparison with MLB 20

MLB 20 1st Inning bosses were at 300 stars, and rewards for activities were as follows (sorry I dont remember other rewars for collections and other stuff, but you get the idea):
Showdown - 70 stars (23% of total progress)
Conquest - 30 stars (10% of total progress)
Missions - 15 stars each (5% of total progress each)

MLB 21, players are at 650 000 XP:
Showdown - non-existing (0% of total progress)
Conquest - 15 000 XP (2% of total progress)
Missions - 5 000 - 7 000 XP (0,7% - 1% of total progress)
Moments - 1 000 - 4 000 XP (0,1% - 0,6% of total progress)

I also watched youtube video by GomesDaLegend showing best way to grind XP in game (basically pitching in exhibition with 99 pitcher againts 0 rated players). It is just mindlessly pressing one button and according to him, you can earn 20 000 XP per hour. That means you would read 650 000 XP in 32,5 hours of doing that. And no, I don't want to press one button for 32,5 hours so my XP gain would be minimally twice that slow (maybe more) so that would mean something around 60 - 80 hours. You have 20 days to complete 1st inning program, that means 3 - 4 hours daily. Do you still belive it is very much accessible for all players to reach 650 000 XP? I have family, I have work and I think this is really ridiculous. Is MLB The Show really becoming new 2K?

Hi, I havent played this mode since I am waiting for the patch that maybe solve some problems with RTTS. But I wonder how this is supposed to work:

Lets say I create new player. He is like 55 overall. I will play with him for 10 seasons and make him a MLB superstar. In that process, I will upgrade all relevant player programs, so I will have diamond style (dont know how it is called, that main thing you get player program xp in) and diamond perks.

Now I want to create new rookie, but thanks to that diamond perks all over the place, he will start in AA with like 80 overall stats, no? Isn't it breaking immersion in this mode that you will crush all minor leaguers without any challenge?

And 24 hours later exactly the same situation. This is really a joke. I know, you want the servers to be down when US is sleeping, but we in Europe want functioning servers as well you know

I would start with the programs that will get you Babe Ruth and then do the extreme programs for Lou Gehrig, Yelich and 99 Pearson. It's all obtainable by playing offline.

Thanks a lot

Oh that feeling. I'm starting pitcher, holding onto 2-0 lead through 7 innings (avoding loaded bases with 1 out two times in a game). I'm benched at 8th. Reliever comes to mound: walk, walk, walk, walk, 4-run home run. Goodbye W. Thanks a lot, good night

The worst thing about it is that I don't remember so much screwed release like this one. Yes, there were many people comming from Xbox, but wasn't that expected? 15 days since early access release and we are basically where we were at April 16. And I don't know, I'm not looking that much, but I haven't seen any sincere statement from SDS saying "Hey guys, we know we screwed up, be patient please, we are sorry". Only thing I can see is silence.

Yea, I know. But I dont have that much time for flipping. Any other idea for good players?

I would start with thr All-timers programs. Then the POTM programs before you needed the Topps now collections. Then you could always do the Topps moments and the last 2 POTM programs because if you get the packs from the moments and the reward path you won't have to buy any to complete the program. Also the Jackie Robinson evolution program, his 99 is worth it.. That should give you a bunch of stacked players.

Thanks a lot, now I have something to do

Yea, still I worked so hardto get out of those bases loaded situations and then the moment I step down, they concede 5 runs, in real life I would kill the guy

My logo also not showing on scorecard and on conquest map

Also some player cards are not showing anywhere in game, just blank empty frames

Hi guys. I have no logos of my team showing in multiple places in the game. For example score tracker right side in the game, pre game presentation, mini seasons pretty much everywhere. Anything I can do to fix that? Or is it just bug in the game (as in every new mlb game)?

Hi. Again, as in The Show 24 or 23 or I dont know for how many years, I dont see my team custom logo anywhere in actual game. No logo on uniform, hats, hoodies, score display! Outside the game, in post game screens or main screens, I can see logo just fine. Can I do something to help this bug go away? It is driving me crazy that it is still present in so many years. Thanks
