Mini seasons harder?

Seems normal to me considering the teams are much better. You just have to be patient at the plate. I tend to get very swing happy in mini seasons because I’m trying to blow through games but you really have to wait for your pitch or you’ll get punished.

I feel like the sliders on pretty much every difficulty differ from game mode to game mode. Mini seasons AI seems more difficult than conquest. Felt like this all year to me. Plus honesty I feel like Rookie is harder to get good results than say Veteran or All Star. Less likely to see good pitches in the zone and more RNG when you do make contact and less consistency. If I want an easy W I'll play on Veteran and for a slightly more challenging game , but still easy W, I play on All Star. I stay away from Rookie

Either a slump, or what I always suspect, the cpu will start to pitch you smarter the more you play. No matter the difficulty. If you always crush high fastballs, you won't see one for about 3 games. There are certain parts of the zone, even deep inside the strike zone I am incapable of getting the pci to, the cpu knows this and will put strike 3 there. Also even on rookie there are times the cpu will work the corners and put the ball right on the black.

In my opinion the only advantage to playing on rookie is slow pitch speed, big pci, and you k the cpu a lot. But the only real difference on how you get pitched is that usually on 3 ball counts you are getting a strike, where on AS and up you don't know where it's going.

I know I’m not in a slump, this mini season is playing like garbage so far

Just tried to get the choice pack for getting 10 runs in a game. So I figured hey, why not play a quick game on rookie and see if I can get some pack luck

I always power swing on rookie. P5 Utley comes to the plate against a righty, fastball down the middle, I power swing and get a P/P fly ball…..for an out

Yeah that’s enough of that garbage. If there’s one thing I can’t stand in this game it’s grinding against the cpu

Especially in mini seasons where the sliders and gameplay against the cpu is just abysmal

I have Brett, almost every card in the game and closing in on 1M in stubs. Not wasting another minute on mini seasons when that mode is playing that awfully lol

I know others love the mini season grind and I totally understand why. But after a power swing, P/P fly ball goes for an out, yeah I’m staying away from that garbage mode, isn’t fun at all imo and not worth the time/rewards in my position

Yea the sliders are definitely up a little bit no matter the difficulty.

Man. I just can’t do the ohtani one.

Like two extra base hits. How hard can that be…..can’t do it.

I'm genuinely curious if they made Mini Seasons more challenging.

I just finished on AS and yes, it definately seems more challenging to me. They take pitches like crazy and when I pitch in the zone, they usually make hard contact. While hitting, I get many perfect lineouts and their defense plays like a gold glove team every game. lol

I mentioned in a thread that I’m seeing more HR robberies this year. Over the fence highlight reel nabs.

I’ve been getting multiple P/P outs a night. It’s frustrating.

I don't think the game is necessarily harder. It's just that you're playing against better pitching cards now then you were 2 months ago.
