I wanted to name Trout, but I was not sure if you were open to this :). Especially in a conquest game you have to assure your best hitters come up twice a game. I would put him up or Elly
Thanks. Historically, I do really bad with Elly leading off. I mean, really bad. I stuck Raines in leadoff and I am doing well with that setup. I am surprised. He's hit a homer and gotten on base at least once in each game I've played so far.
I made some other moves too. I put Jackie on the bench, moved Realmuto to 1st, and put Adley at catcher. I stuck Mauer on the bench too. Adley hasn't gotten a hit yet (but has two SFs), but I figure when he does, I'll pinch-run for him and then stick Mauer in. I looked at putting Dihigo at catcher or first, but the Realmuto card is better at first and both Adley and Mauer are better at catcher. Admittedly, neither of them has the speed I want, but with a pinch runner, that issue is solved.
-
Adley with PR and Mauer behind (he rakes for me) is great imo … Raines is awesome for me

I've finished my 22nd game, and the AL West. I'm now on to the AL Central.
The bottom screenshot is from my latest tool. I call it the Player Statistics Tracker. It takes the data from the screen in my game history (copy/paste), compiles it, and then sorts it. The spreadsheet can also be sorted by each stat for both hitters and pitchers.

Killing it with Trout ain’t ya my goodness

I know! He is the Captain on this team.

I made it through the AL Central. Now, onto the homestretch. I'm a bit worried about the last territory (44?). Will I have to play that square as a game, or will I be able to sim it?
I haven't had any luck hitting with catchers except for Realmuto, so I am considering moving him back to catcher and putting Jimmie Foxx at 1B. I will add a second first baseman to my bench when I need to pinch run for Jimmie.

You most likely need to play it just because you won't have enough to sim, I had to play it on hall of fame difficulty

Thanks. I'll mentally prepare myself for that then.

It took me only twice to actually win that final game which for someone who really only plays on rookie difficulty

If you're turns are right, you can skip after beating the stronghold to shore up your defenses and either sim it or at least be able to play it at a lower difficulty.

I'm still on turn three, so I'm hoping to get to that spot still on turn three or maybe turn four. If I work it right, I should be able to reinforce for turn 5 and sim it to knock the 44 down, and then reinforce again on turn 6 and play it until I beat it.
This is all theory at this point, and different scenarios are playing through my head for now.

Remember - Be Careful on that Turn 5 Sim. If your numbers are really close and they beat you, you gotta start over completely. If you skip again to reinforce - they wont attack I think? Cause you're on a stronghold? It's been a while since I did.

Thank you. I'm still on turn 3 and I have 11 fans as I go against the Orioles. I should have 10 against the Rays which is the last spot before the 44. I will reinforce for turn 4 and see where that puts me.

Good suggestion, since your opponent will be outnumbered by a lot ! „Play all of them“ is my suggestion. I lost some sims on the other conquest and was frightened that happened here

I will certainly play the game instead of simming now!

Thank you all for your suggestions, tips, and guidance. I was tempted to take my 6th turn and get my fan base to 66 against the 44, but I didn't. I stayed at 47 because I knew the game would be on AS either way. All in all, I was 32-2. I played nine games on Veteran, 13 on All-Star, and 12 on Hall of Fame.

Hey congrats on finishing the map, how far are you from completing the extreme program

About halfway, but I'm not actively working on it. I'm relying on repeatables to progress.

That's what I did, I did 1 moment, the conquest map and Billy Wagners save mission and Matt Cains innings pitched mission didn't even bother with the showdown

Extreme Mini Season's is a good option to get points - Don't even worry about the Goals. Just beat em up on Rookie and use the Vouchers you obtain. May take a few runs but way less hair pulling than repeating the 25k PXP over and over again. I finished the Extreme program with 0 moments, 0 Showdown, and only completed the Stat Missions for Ketel Marte and Billy Wagner. Maybe Piazza - Can't remember if I finished him while playing the Mini Season or not.
