Conquest is a mess
-
90% of the pitches from the cpu are either balls or dotted, SDS people are not playing this mode to sit on their hands, and if you do get a hit it's right back at the pitcher or great contact is a double play
For instance I had runners on second and third with none out and my next 2 batters (De La Cruz, great contact right at the pitcher, runner on 3rd is frozen up the line of 3rd so 2 out) followed by a perfect perfect from Schwarber right at the Center Fielder.
I use to love this mode but i am quickly tiring of it this year.
It shouldn't be a chore to score runs. Rant over

I’m can deal with the game play, but the continued losing sim battles of my 9 plus fans to the CPU’s 2 is not exciting or adding drama, it’s just annoying.
Let’s tweak this programming , please.

What difficulty? When i was playing I noticed that Rookie difficulty was playing like Legend difficulty. I did better playing on All-Star.

Veteran/All Star. Maybe i should move up to legend problem with that is i can't touch anything the cpu throws then.

I've noticed Hall of fame played much better than all star and veteran, no idea why.

Because they want to make grinding for 97s more annoying. Apparently, us playing against the Yetis was offensive to them.

Earlier this year, I went back and looked at CPU stats and compared to this year. By late July / early August this year, I had already hit into more double plays than all of last year. Hit variety is super weak in offline games. Conquest is a double play bonanza and an infestation of at 'em balls. Play vs CPU on Vet and AS is just a HR derby (fine for PXP players) or an incessant amount of more at 'em balls. HOF vs CPU is better. I stink on Legend as I've tried it numerous times, lol.

I have a higher BA with Jeter online than vs CPU, they’ve definitely made playing offline way more tedious.

Did that earlier on the west map, 14-2 I lost all 14.

I mean, we have to give SDS credit where credit is due…
If they read this forum for even 10 minutes, they’ve heard that we want all the various modes in DD to play consistently.
Well, they listened. Conquest now plays like Showdown.
Thanks,SDS!
-
Haha, conquest really does seem to play more like showdown than vs CPU for darn sure.

What grinds my gears about playing these modes vs. the CPU is when no name hitters with low contact, power, clutch and vision are up there BATTLING with my 95+ level pitchers. They all seem to have eagle eye with the patience of a elementary school teacher. When they do make contact it's never soft, it's always a solid rip. And as someone else has said already, the amount of double plays I hit into vs the CPU has mirrored my experience with showdowns this year. The CPU needs a double play, 8 out of 10 times they seem to get that double play.

Interesting thing about the double plays at least for me, is if you turn off commentary you can hear the fans and they will say stuff like get him to hit into a double play and i kid you not 80/90% of the time thats exactly what ends up happening.

I call it “Double Play on Demand” (DPOD).

Heck I just wish I could hit into a double play. Unfortunately that requires getting someone on base.….base bbbase. I can’t get on baybaybaybaybaybayce…..BOICE

I’m glad you said it. Conquest is so unenjoyable this year. Rookie and Veteran levels should be a lot of fastballs right down the middle. We aren’t getting that. What is the point of having the option to select difficulty, if they all play the same (except pitch speed)?
-
I notice this sort of thing happens after they release the Extreme Set. The same thing now happened last year around the same time too! Not sure why they can't only tweak the mode for that specific conquest.
