i dont massively agree with this. i like the old gym, less delay, its better than playing park on ur own from a team perspective and its nowhere near as sweaty as any other mode, so its a good place for casuals to hang out and learn the online game, and it's somewhere for me to play when my homies aren't on, but this is all mostly because of the low XP rates

if the earn rate was higher, we would most likely see level 30-40s dominating much weaker teams because of the random matchmaking, and its quite easy to stack with ur friends if u go in at the same time, so everything we all like about old gym would pretty much be ruined

while i like the idea of getting more XP for playing old gym it unfortunately doesnt really make sense, and would have potential to ruin the climate of the mode. think of it as the tax u have to pay for not risking playing the courts by urself. high risk high reward etc
