I showed you the math in another thread (and made a post showing the math) that you chose to ignore. It takes only 4-6 hours of play to hit the cap. On weekdays, sure very few will hit the cap. But many people like to or can only play on weekends and those caps will be easily hit on Saturday/Sunday.

Your math was faulty, as I showed and you ignored.

From your obsession on this topic, I can only deduce that you are one of the exploiters who used the glitches in order to complete the program in a day or so and now your bluff got called.

Sorry they took away your advantage.

Sorry, all you showed was that your reading comprehension was faulty.

Let me be clear, pre-double xp you can earn 1700xp a RTTS game as a pitcher or 1500+Xp a game in conquest. THOSE ARE WITHOUT DOUBLE XP. That equates to 4 hours to hit the cap in RTTS or 6 in DD.

I have never exploited xp, but I do like to play a lot on weekends when the wife and kid are at dance practice. I think you just need a 3rd grade math refresher.

650,000 inning cap / 35,000 daily limit = inning completed in 18.57 days. Let's call it 19.

Without any collections, conquest/showdown completions, double XP time frames, or any other bonuses, you can max out in 19 days. That means the remainder of the month is wasted XP anyway. Do you really care that much if the XP is wasted at the end of the month or the end of a long day when you have already earned 35K?

I've never hit the 650k inning cap on XP this year, but at least once an inning (usually more) I'll spend a full free day playing pretty much all day and will earn a good 50k or so from just game xp. While it's unlikely (for me) on a day in/day out basis, it isn't even remotely unlikely or impossible to bang out 10+ games in the span of a day if I have the time and just feel like playing a bunch of baseball.

This punishes those that don't have unlimited free time and have to binge play when they can just as much, if not more, than it does those SDS is trying to combat who are cheesing the system. That is my issue with it. The imbeciles cheesing xp will still do it, they'll just have to wait a bit longer now, and the people that haven't done anything wrong inadvertently get screwed if/when they play too much on a given day. It's a small percentage of players, I'm not pretending it isn't, but it's an un-fair slap to them while simply delaying the xp exploiters.

I was planning on playing this morning before the new inning hit. Now? I'm not playing a game until after the new inning drops. Why should I waste any of my 35k xp for the day?

If SDS is putting in a daily XP cap then where's the meter showing you how much you've earned/got left to earn for the day? Y'all love having little bars all over your UI showing us our progress on every little thing. Where's the "Daily XP" bar? I want to know when I've gotten to the point that I'm wasting my time continuing to play the game for the day.

The new cards you'll be able to get will be non-sellable, this is true.

However, the new TA will likely open up a bunch of new exchange missions. As such, you can likely expect a bump across the board from low golds down as people acquire inventory to use in exchanges.

The overall effect likely won't be that significant on the market, however. The roster update will almost certainly be far more influential in market prices today and moving forward.

anyone who played mlb17 was sds able to fix the servers that year?

They got better after about a month? Not sure if it was due to improving server stability or a significantly reduced playerbase. The year it went free on PS+ the immediate uptick in players late in the year didn't cause any major issues though. There's server issues like this every year, this year seems especially bad though.
