I think they could alleviate some of the frustration if they lowered the number of plate appearances you need for PXP stats to accumulate.

Right now you need at least 8 PA for your stats to hold. That alone makes it take longer when grinding the Monthly stuff. Before, you could just reload PvCPU games until you got your stats and move on. With PXP and 8 PA, you have to either bat around in the first or often play 2 to 3 innings just to reach that threshold.

Which at that point you might as well play the whole game - and that's probably the point. But I loved the pace of last year's grind and looked forward to it every month. The changes so far this year make it less fun and less desirable but it's something I'll still do.
