I played against Bo in baseball in my younger days, let me say he was an amazing ballplayer too. We deserve a Bo Jackson card, Jim Abbott too another dude I played in arizona summer camps with.

I think an absence of information in these cases is the worst thing they can do. I finished the 3rd inning program so I stopped paying atttention, but I think it's a terrible plan to just shut off the reward thereby panalizing all of the people who were just using the wbc miniseason as a way to earn packs. Enforce the code of conduct. Reward the people who play by the rules.

You are penalizing everyone for the sins of a few. As if 4 to 5 perfect/perfect outs per game while never getting a hit wasn't bad enough, now we have the only way of grinding XP and earning 11 packs taken away. Penalize those who broke the rules not everyone. This year's game is a joke at this point 40 Yankees , 13 Reds, 13 Twins, 12 Rangers last time I checked. You already took away 67% of the cornerstone programs. If there were specific programs for the underserved franchises. It may be too late. When you need to not play to save potential XP for the new inning it says everything that isn't being said. In the entire 157 year history of the reds only Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin have ever played for the team.

I finished the live series by playing the game, not exploiting a bug, so I think it's extraordinarily lame to penalize those of us who didn't exploit a glitch by just looking the other way and forcing SDS's hand to take away the number one repeatable way to earn packs. It's just another form of cheating. I am an NMS player, but followed the rules, but now I can't just earn 11 regular packs and one ballin in just 90 minutes of game time.

Agreed, I played the WBC mini season once, recieved no reward before I read about the glitch. SDS needs to ban those who used it more than 5 times, I would say two but that might be excessive. I just want my one WBC reward miniseason reward, I usually play the wbc miniseason once a day, then play whatever singleplayer rewards come up during the week. The game should take all of the cheaters seriously and treat them like they deserve... Ban them for the rest of 2026. They are what prevents me from playing multiplayer quite honestly.

play 28 game miniseasons, then just go through it once

tthis game is in alpha, not even a beta. The newest irritating bug, I've played game 15 of my miniseason 3 times now, it never proceeds past game 14. If it's not bad enpugh you are playing gAames against actually stacked teams, then if you are a ranger,twins or Reds fan you see new yankees released weekly, new dodgers new west coast and east coast teams. But if they do release a player from one of their non-usual teams, it's always someone who now plays for one their darling franchises. This year's game is a joke the content is just releasing cards from the same teams over and over. Having fewer programs to earn off line XP and making playing the game harder and harder to play with every update. I'm sure the next inning program will be just as pointless with more cards being released from their darling franchises.

WBC Miniseasons, in pool play only in the first game does your opponent have the right uniforms.

This year's game is terrible, takes way too long to do anything. They removed 66% of the cornerstone programs and removed repeatable XP for completing miniseasons. They turned hitting into a fly ball simulator; pitching is a joke. You need to play almost perfect games to ever stand a chance. They are trying to move much of the content behind a paywall, forcing people to play online. Instead of 3-4 perfect/perfect outs per game, my suggestion is to change it so that when you get a perfect/perfect, it just displays "F*ck you". I will never play online, mostly because of the cheaters, and I won't be forced to. Any game where the developers feel it's their job to constantly find ways to make the game more difficult really has lost touch with what they should be doing. Hire some developers who may have at one time done more than watch baseball, maybe some who actually played. Last year's nonsense with making bunting more difficult is a perfect example. Players found a way to use strategy to win, so the developers need to stop that. If they concentrated half the energy on stopping people from cheating online, maybe then they'd get some more people to actually buy into their preferred business model. The disconnect with the people who actually play the game is why La Grasa was created last year. make it impossible to earn pxp... well, someone found a way to avoid sending them money... They obviously needed to put an end to that.

Yes, they are afraid of people modding it and making it better

I can't believe they're using a pitcher off the bench. they must be saving their other players for later(no matter what pinch hitter you use)

SDS please fix this get the one intern that you have dedicated to franchise and get/him/her to fix this.

this game was released in beta, and it's still there as an avid miniseasons player, let me assure you this years game is a nightmare for people who only play singleplayer. Mini-season has glitches everywhere and franchise is just as broken.

instead of the bobby doerr card, that should have been an inning boss pack with doerr, ruth or johnson. I play the game way too much and have just short of 400K xp, That 500K xp just seems too far away without chunks of XP on the horizon. I'd like to go back to complaining about not having enough Reds in the game instead of this seemingly impossible goal to get Ruth.

this is the problem last year each cornerstone program had a possible xp gain of 10K XP, The classicmode miniseason had a total of 20K pxp for the win mile stones 5-12-18-23-28 and a repeatable gotal of 5K Xp for each championship. So that is 20K fewer for cornerstone programs and no repeatable XP for the miniseason. For instance I have won the wbc miniseason 50(atleast) times so even for the seven game miniseason if they had a repeatable reward of 500XP that would be a total of 25K XP. And quite honestly I've probobly won it alot more than 50 times. so that is leaving 45K XP on the table. This is what is making offline players completely frustrated. please either triple the xp for the one cornerstone you seem to release per inning program or go back to three per program and restore the fair goals to miniseasons with a repeatable xp reward. Also any conquest that has as a reward that is unsellable cards is not really repeatable, it's not worth the time required to play unless you give a repeatable xp goal or sellable cards like the draft map or the number 3 map last year.

There are far fewer ways to earn XP this year. Last year, we had 3 cornerstone programs per inning, and miniseason had many more ways to earn XP. If you are an offline player, it is nearly impossible to earn the 500,000 XP required to get an inning boss. Playing the WBC miniseasons gets old. Please fix this or give us a week of double xp and pxp....or maybe even triple

Killed me after I won the semi final and claimed I was eliminated. Very Frustrating

3 per inning last year, if you use the show vernacular

weren't there two cornerstones per month last year maybe 3

The Hall of Fame is just a popularity contest, doesn't matter what cards were released last year or the year before. The fact remains this game ignores certain franchises until they are forced not too. Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher of all time he should always be in this game from the beginning, As Should Ruth, Musial, Hornsby, Josh Gibson, Walter Johnson, Satchel Paige, Mathewson and Cobb. Back to the Reds there was more to 90s in Cincinnati than Rob Dibble, Barry Larkin and Eric Davis. My original point is how underrated they made the live series card for Sal Stewart and yes I just wish this game would focus on the all-time greats.

@Dolenz_PSN The Reds Should be one of the teams with the most legends, The Big Red Machine... The Original Franchise in 1869. Still yet to see A Mario Soto, Jose Rijo, George Foster, Cesar Geronimo or Davey Concepcion card in this game. Won't even mention Harry Craft, Johnny VanDerMeer, Bucky Walters and Joe Nuxhall. I stand by my statement.
