Had to chuckle...

Conquest East, last game against Red Sox, their win expectancy % read 73%, even before the first pitch was thrown. Had to chuckle a bit, made a cup of coffee and said out loud, "game on". Won a nail biter 2-1. Sox came to play.
I've enjoyed the Conquest play a lot more this year, even if it's a grind.

I find it so interesting they put "win expectancy" in the game this year.....I get that baseball is really implementing more and more numbers but to me it just seems kind of pointless, unless teams with higher win percentages get some sort of boost? Regardless, conquest games do seem a little tougher this year which im all for.

Rookie difficulty has been ramped up. Not that it's hard, mind you. But last year scores were routinely 20-0. This year lots of 3-0. Plus line drives = outs, as lots of people have noticed.

Last year I'd grind player stats for TA and others (god there was too much player stat missions last year) on AS; this year if I want to get it over with before it becomes a full time job (Ken Griffey Jr rookie is abysmal), I have to play them on Veteran. Good thing PXP for pitchers is easy to come by...
With a team full of Gold FBs, games on AS become 1-0, 5+ innings affairs way too often.

Very odd, I was up 6-1 against the Angels. And magically their bats just started hitting everything no matter where it was placed. They took a 7-6 lead, then their bats just died. K'ed the side after their lead. They're not even hiding the RNG anymore

They are definitely nerfing first pitch hits this year. Doesn't matter timing, or pci. If the pitcher grooves one down the middle it is either a line drive at a defender or a flyout to the warning track. I get they want to make you play the game and take pitches but come on, it is rookie.

In conquest against the Cleveland Guardians their common fielding shield RF made back to back diving catches on hard hit liners. I couldn’t believe it

Thats a reason why 'good' hitting feedback is so general and wide ranging. I have 95 Rookie Pujols swing on pitches right down the middle with 'good' feedback against weak pitchers...sometimes it flies out but most times its a pop up. It's so d.a.m.n random
