USA Conquest Map
-
This probably isn’t conquest map related , but the hitting has changed since the update on Sunday morning. It is not harder, but getting tons and tons of lazy fly balls. Particularly with my higher end diamonds. Only the batter is my #3 hole seems to hit consistently. Whomever it is. Every game is 1-0 or 2-1 now since the update. Very weird and very noticeable.

I’m not sure if it’s the game or the PS5 console, but I am also loving the quickness to sim games when taking over hexagons, seems like it less than 3 seconds as opposed to 10+ seconds for each in the past
it is suppose to be that fast for all consoles they mentioned it the last stream. The Mystery Map this year gives you 5 packs instead of 3 and it is easier this year IMO I did that map 3 times, I have finished all the maps quicker this year than any of the other years started playing DD fully in 2017.

Don’t forget to fortify your strongholds after you capture them, sucks to have to defend them with extra games.
You don't need to reinforce them. You only have to defend if that hex is completely surrounded by one team(most likely minnesota with your starting stronghold). Just make sure that doesn't happen and you are good

I messed around wit different ways to complete this map last year .I found the best way is to take out COL first turn on AS then AZ, SD, LAD, SF, OAK, Sea, While doing that making a wall up to Min and down to Hou. I start that after I take out AZ. Keeping one less fan where the CPU has fans along my wall. The least amount of turns I did this in last year was 26. I did it in 32 turns over the weekend that was without stealing fans and only playing 2 or 3 games on AS. The rest were VET or R. I also build a wall going up toward Sea from AZ and COL

FWIW, all the comments in this thread are a big help for me after getting swamped on this map pretty quick over the weekend. I also appreciate the generally positive tone in the whole thread. I'm new to this game and only started playing 21 in September when I saw it was free with Game Pass. Last few weeks I've been lurking on here, excited to play a full year of the game but so many threads are just awful negativity.

I have to get used to the PCI sensitivity since we can reach the corners of the zone now on modes less than HOF. I'm always over or under on pitches. It's driving me nuts!

I have no desire to do this just so I can get a 88 Piazza. Maybe if it were a better card.
You get the diamond jersey for each team which sell for 1000 stubs. Plus the prospect packs from each division. Then all the hidden packs. Worth it imo.
Oh I always forget about the hidden stuff.
Your not missing much with this one though
1 ballin is a habit
A 5 pack of standards
And a few standard packs sprinkled around the map- the 10 pack and 3.5k in stubs for completing the map
However after you beat each team you get a jersey so those might be worth something later in the games cycle.

I happen to agree with you now that I’m bored already. I do a few here I do a few there. Eventually I’ll get there.

Stealing fans is never a waste of time, because it gives you the amount of fans you steal. Which especially early on, will double the amount of reinforcements you can use. I cleared the USA map last year in no time by stealing fans on legend every single turn. It allows you to clear almost half the map without most of the strongholds having a lot of reinforcements and most hexagons are still empty.
The only downside to this is that you have to be able to win on legend consistently. But even then, stealing on AS or HOF will still net you 3 or 4 fans per turn respectively which is still worth it.
Valid! Guess that's the high-stress quicker way to do it. I do the low-stress way, filling in the map first and then overwhelming strongholds on Rookie. Takes more time, for sure.

Stealing fans is virtually unnecessary if your only goal is finishing the map, and you dont care about finishing it in a certain amount of turns.
