This game is way too hard for beginners
-
Just my experience but I think rookie/veteran got harder a few weeks ago. I'm not very good but can consistently win offline on All Star by like a run. I play different levels depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. When I was grinding for total bases, I went with rookie/ veteran. For PXP, I went All Star.
While grinding mini seasons a month ago, easily hit the hits/XBH season challenges on veteran. Now I have to let the CPU extend games in the playoffs to get it. I had better success against the same cpu with my 87s than I do with Pujols and Tulowitzki now.
It happened on the 15th, update 6 and the Jackie program. was ripping through wbc and NT mini seasons and after the timing windows are all over the place the pci isn't moving or erratic in its moving,hits straight at fielders exit velo lower than you'd expect for the timing/placement sometimes much lower, some of it is definitely me, but some of it is not

People have finished all the TA in a month! Every team has the same requirements for TA, don’t they? I think you’re confusing the #1 fan with the regular TA in which 100XBH is needed to complete. No one but braves fans are getting 700 HRs with braves for example. I realize that when I said “daunting” i must have led you to believe I meant the #1 fan programs. Anyway that might have been the wrong word choice in that sense, but I regret that I’ll only have about six of the 60 jolt cards when the legend collection comes out tomorrow. So I’m 10% done with jolt after over a month of playing. I’m so far behind the power curve that I’ll finish jolt in November if I’m lucky. And that’s for the first collection! That’s what I mean by “daunting.” I guess all star and finest will be rolled out differently (i.e. not in TA). But this is going slow for lower level players like me when I wasn’t that far behind in previous years. -

Like when you get the jolt card or the Live series card combo you can snag a few extra packs just by getting their pxp.
And you can do it for every teams 2 players. Granted the packs will result in garbage but at least you get to play with these badass new cards. (Most of the jolts and collection players are limp noodles. There’s strong sarcasm here)

I see. Got it now. Not as daunting as I thought since the jolt for tomorrow’s collection is only 30 cards, not all 60. I thought all 60 were for this one -

It’s going to be an insane amount of cards - you can’t afford it
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN
Yes I know, but I can complete those other collections for vouchers without doing all those stats with 30 different teams! Water under the bridge for (some of) those ones. -
True enough
After tomorrow is when I generally quit. Not because the collection card sucks - but because every card you buy or use isn’t worth a [censored] so it’ll cost you like 5 billion stubs to ignore 160 players it took to get you there. I hope it’s some submarine pitcher like Dan Quisenberry I hope SDS chokes on their Taylor Roger’s and Darren Odays and gives us the ginger stache
I’ll check back in a couple months and see if there’s a Cardinals McGee - then log out again

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN I thought that was kind of the point because new players will abandon before they get good.
-
Are you guys confusing rookie difficultly with beginner difficultly?
Are you saying you want beginner difficultly added to DD mode? -
@BuddyHightower_XBL
No. Beginner difficulty has never been in DD as far as I know. That’s not what anyone is saying. at least that’s not what I have been saying -
@markemark_NSW no, but rookie used to be much much easier. Rookie used to be beginner until they release pxp.
When they released pxp they added minors and beginner difficulty and made rookie harder. These "hit 5 HR" or "get 500 pxp" missions would all be done in 1 game with the way the old rookie difficulty played.
-
Beginner just throws strikes dead center (or tries to)
All it does is throw different pitches aimed at center plate
Rookie is definitely not that

If new players cant get good playing on beginner/rookie, this just isnt the game for them.
