For the love of god please increase primes already!

Sucks to pull a prime with good skills and level them up knowing they are for the most part one and done. Atleast if they were 475 they would hold a little more value whether it be building an all left c vs c team or lower levels of woh. Bxp should be 400 at minimum, or atleast make them temporarily boosted for events.

    Yeah still having BXP guys at 360 honestly bothers the hell out of me.

    Considering how nearly worthless the 450’s are already...I think it’s going to take a jump to 470 at a minimum to put them back in play

    Agree the primes definitely need a boost. I think my catcher is 430 and SS and 2B are 450, the rest are at least 470 so anything below 450 is useless to me

    I think the big error that I made a number of months ago was chasing the incremental difference in these guys… Without doing the math on the cost-of-leveling and the skills

    I was spending the PXP to fully level a 435 guy… To replace a 420 guy... Rather than invest a fraction of that into increasing the skills which would’ve accomplish the same thing

    That'll certainly set you back! I never "got ahead" and got wrapped up in trying to "compete" for a little bit, which is just a resource and money drain. Lessons learned I suppose 🤷‍♂️

    I'd be a lot happier if they offered the mega LXP boxes so I could actually use the legends on my bench instead of prime guys.

    So quick math.  It takes 106,400 PXP to take a hitter to G10.  Plus another 80,000 PXP to get the skills to 12/12

    vs just the 80,000 PXP to get his skills to 12/12

    So doing this 4-5 times, I probably wasted about 400-500 thousand PXP.

    I think the direction of bxp players is more to give teams a chance to easily level bonus guys for event points and not necessarily the intention of being on your team long term.  Given the duplicate bxp amounts are a lot greater this year, its made bxp so much easier to obtain.

    Bottom line is i doubt they get much higher and are major parts of anyone's main teams but I'm wrong a lot so who knows.

    500 and 520 legends have high speed......450 primes do not.  Actual effective stats reflect what I consider an acceptable gap between prime and legend level players.

    FWIW, my cynicism aside...the MVP awards would be a perfect time to do bumps

    What’s the chances this weekend boxes will relate to the awards?
  • mythicaldragonmythicaldragon Registered Users, Member 2,418 Posts
    Well considering the the boxes released during World Series had no relation... I’d say 🤔 0

    Soto vs Mathews, both with capped skills. I havent hit ceiling yet with either but .805 against righties vs .748 respectively. Soto outclasses any other player I have with skills at 16/16 even. Only drawback is he is far from auto on 6.10.

    I saw the weekend boxes (leaked) and no bump for any player types- legend/prime/bxp. Also, the boxes are awful, more recycled legends. I already have different versions of 3 of the 4 on my current roster that were released within the last month or so.

    What else is new?  This year's edition of TSB has specialized in stagnation.
