Usually the best way is to save your stubs and find opportunities for good flips. For instance, near the end of an inning buy the bosses and then sell them during the next inning. I did stuff like that and bought the top ones because you more likely than not won't pull them.

Did you hit an XP inning milestone that would explain why it said you got additional rewards?

No, this happened to me too on all of the divisions it shows 5000 stubs as the reward.

They also call him the American League batting champion of 2025. He was not. They don't even know baseball enough to get awards correct.

Play online. It’s a huge chunk of XP. I do both and have no problem. I only game at night once my wife and 2 kids go to sleep. I work as well. It can be done. Suck it up and do online.

They shouldn't have to suck it up though man. Have a bit of empathy and think about what you use this game for. Unwinding after a tough day working and being a Dad. I enjoy mindlessly beating the computer sometimes on rookie because I find it relaxing and after my kids go to bed, my eyes are tired honestly. There's no reason the boss pack can't be at 300k or so. This was literally the toughest inning I've seen and offline content is way down and it seems like the thought is just grind short mini seasons and I'm personally doing that but it's not worth xp after the first time. Point is, people shouldn't have to suck up playing a way they don't want to when they never used to. It's a change to drive profitability without much of anything coming back to the user base in terms of improvements.

I've literally never struggled finishing the 500k but the fact that they put the bosses at the end and mixed with not a ton of program xp it was tough. I finished over the weekend and got a few spins but I played more than I typically need to. The first inning was ridiculously easy and I got bored and finished TA before the 2nd inning started. It's a legit complaint from people.

When someone really fooled me on a pitch I give them a single bunt button tap as a gesture saying you got me but it won't happen again but yeah the dancing is annoying.

I am baffled

I tend to be an SDS fanboy, but this year is so disappointing. I still get freezes when viewing/changing lineups. Mini Season stats are as wonky as ever. The menus are slow and laggy. Just sloppy.

This is how I feel too. I usually defend them but this year I've been legit furious with their glitches. The fact that the squad freezing glitch still exists after it was prevalent last year is honestly pathetic. Honestly, it feels like they aren't trying anymore. Perhaps they replaced real people with AI without quality control lol

My very first pack was a diamond this year and day 1 I pulled 3 total. Jeremy Pena, Trea Turner, then Yamamoto. None since though but that's ok. I had a lucky start admittedly.

This card gave be the motivation to finish the rest of what I needed to get Donaldson. Can't wait to use him this weekend and give up endless bombs haha

Probably a finest card but they could have it be a sexy Skenes. So far though it's been nothing but legends. Clearly should be a Yankee though.

@Rhyno1986_XBL
First of all, you need to learn some grammar because you make zero [censored] sense. But let me try to decipher this code language you speak. Ok let me make this perfectly clear, nobody gives a flying [censored] as to when the lightning flashback players are picked. I only care who gets picked, and I don’t think anybody agrees with not necessarily the choice because Gary Sanchez is a very good card, but the timing. Timing is everything in this game, whether it’s when content releases or when you’re hitting in Ranked, and SDS simply got it wrong as they’ve done with many things this year. Another annoying thing is that the program entails Jakob Marsee, while the pack contains Jurickson Profar, Rafael Devers, Brenton Doyle, et cetera. But to you, that’s good content. The better, more usable cards are in a pack while the [censored] cards are free. Some logic, dude. And then ofc there’s Chipper Jones in a, you guessed it, a Chase pack. What a [censored] shock. One of the best cards in the game is only accessible in an [censored] pack and in the marketplace and he’s worth over half a million stubs. Yeah, that’s great content. Dude stop dickriding and look at the game for what it actually is.

Bruh they run a business not a charity. If you can't easily afford chipper at this point that's on you. Especially since you're playing HoF all day long like you said. Also, I hated last year and you know what I did? I effing quit in May and never came back. You get unbanned and go on a rant instantly as if anyone really cares. With all of that being said, as a Yankees fan, I'd like a few non Yankees at this point for major content drops. Although 99 jazz would be nice first

@Dookie-Possum_XBL said in Glitch wild pitches when on down middle pitches or goes middle no matter where u try to throw:

It’s a connection issue. Your pinpoint says perfect and the pitch teleports dead middle and says early or late.

It's what this gentlemen said. I kind of wonder if people use emulators at times if I'm being honest but I think that's just paranoia lol

@MRAD2010_XBL I really enjoy them too and I'm sad the community has led to them getting worse every year. However, I think that led to them implementing diamond quest which I thoroughly enjoy.

@tear4eddy_PSN said in weekend classic:

The Weekend Classic starts you out in the highest tier you reached that season, regardless of where you are now. So if you got to, say, 805 a few weeks ago but are now down to 650, you’ll be in the 800-899 tier and still be ranked 650.

Yes, that was the error in the first wc-iteration, you could tank. The leaderboard says current and highest rank. The guys I cited had e.g. both at 200 or both under 600. Have fun explaining that or check your leadboard for similarities … To me it looks like the same error from WC1 is back again

Honestly, I think they should just put people in whatever their current rank is level. Might get some people who stay lower to do better but it's less likely to get abused since the awards are significantly worse. Overall though I'm really enjoying the weekend classic dynamic personally.

@GoozeFn_PSN I'm guilty of being a free swinger myself but if they throw you balls you need to force them in the strike zone and then use your patience to figure out the pattern of their pitches. Most people pitch in sequences and become predictable.

They've definitely nerfed what you can pull by including choice pack awards in regular packs and they've used the stat updates to flood more low cost diamonds. It was way more rewarding early on for packs but that's common every year. Pack odds of pulling diamonds isn't bad though

@YOSHI24_XBL congrats!

@tear4eddy_PSN congrats! I had some nail biting games myself to get there

@OnboardCrab59_XBL I've never really noticed or thought much of it but you're right on a lot of the games I've played especially last month.

I just achieved world series for the first time but it feels so dirty between 800 instead of 900 and weekend classic making it even easier now. Anyone else in my shoes who wants to feel happy about it but is now conflicted?
