Why are rookie and veteran so hard this year?!

@JDHalfrack_PSN
I also try to average at least one run per inning…or at least I did last year on veteran. I’ll try WBC 9 innings and see if I can rack up stats for TA any faster that way. Thanks for the tip! -
@markemark_NSW if you struggle with hitting (and it's not tv settings) my biggest advice would be to stay away from Conquest and look to mini-seasons/vs cpu for the stat hunting. If you absolutely have to play a Conquest (for rewards) do it with the best squad you can field and expect a lot of 1 - 0 games. Play small ball, steal a lot, don't expect HRs. Also make sure your global settings are set to "casual" and "rookie". Those settings affect affect mini-seasons/vs. cpu and I think RTTS, but do not change Conquest games at all (which are set at "simulation").
Oh and, GO ANGELS!

When I try to restart the WBC mini, how do I select 9 innings? I had been playing 3 innings but I haven’t seen the option to choose 9 innings since I first played at launch back in March.
-
@markemark_NSW Don't restart after finishing a season. Back out completely then start a new season from the Mini-seasons selection screen (should show 3),then it should give you a popup asking if you want 3 innings or 9.
-
Do you fully restart from the main MS screen? Meaning don’t just select restart after the championship, go back to the MS menu and hold X till it restarts, then go back in and it’ll give you the options available for 3 or 9 inning game.

I dont know if it is a hitting tip that did this but all star has been slightly harder this year. AND I UPGRADED FROM SWITCH TO PS5 so the fps is suppose to make hitting in this difficulty easier. No, its harder instead. I noticed that there are way less exciting rewards if you are an offline player compared to the online players that gets it all with little to no effort.

They definitely took away the easy FB, FB, slider away strikeout thing that has always been so easy. Now the CPU will spit on 0-2 and 1-2 sliders half an inch off the plate lol. Just got to be a bit more creative
-
I’ve found they tend to chase low inside sinkers more than before

@Precisionist99_XBL
Changing the global settings to casual and rookie seemed to help. Thanks for that! scored almost one run per inning over four 3-inning games on WBC mini after the change. Haven’t tried CPU yet. there’s hope for me yet! -

I see the way to change it now. I’m assuming you can change to other another pool that way also, right? Thanks again! -

This hasn't been my experience so far. I still do this against the CPU on Veteran and strike out just about every batter I face.

I finally got that O'Day from TA, and struck out 8 in a row on Veteran. They were flailing!
When i did the 42 CQ map, the Dodgers were hellacious. Everything they hit fell in. Every ball down the line went through. Sliders were cranked for that map, although I played on Vet.
