If you are struggling against the cpu on rookie, the problem is you. While the cpu is better than last year, you still shouldn’t be giving up more than a run or two a game (if that).
Did you read the rest of the post? I went on to say that the players on the teams I face are endgame players. Ones like DeGrom, Trout, AW Thomas, Clemente, etc. etc. The ones who have insane stats and can throw three digit pitches.
And my profile might be deceiving—I am not new to the game. I came over from playstation to xbox last year. I have been playing since MLBTS 16, so it's not like I don't know how to play the game.
There are two teams in my Mini Season that are just absolutely stacked. Every single best player in the game. And I'm not exaggerating.
It's like this for everyone to keep balance. Just 2 teams with all the connections players.
It's NOT balanced if the other team is stacked and mine isn't. DUH.
It's just 2 teams out of all the other teams. That is pretty balanced if you ask me.

Mini seasons is ridiculously hard. I don’t think it’s fair that these maxed out teams get thrown at you—Why should I suffer for not shelling out the money to complete the live series collection and get to the OP cards before everyone else?
Every fielder I face has godlike throwing ability and they successfully dive catch everything. What doesn’t go into the outfield is a lineout straight to one of the infielders. And strikeouts plague me—not because I suck at hitting (I’m playing on Rookie so it’s not the difficulty setting), but because a lot of the pitchers I have to deal with either have crazy pitch movement, the outlier quirk, or both.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the plate, every batter in the lineup is a legendary slugger of some kind. They jack out almost everything, and it’s a wonder that win games. Usually it’s by small margin. Increasingly, it’s by one run. You can imagine how stressful that is, it’s almost showdown stressful.
This mode is really ticking me off. Rookie in this mode is like hall of fame. It’s unbalanced to favor the CPU because of the maxed out teams.
Oh! And the crashes. I just crashed again and got slapped with another loss. In a playoff game no less. Really nice SDS.
Is anyone else struggling here?
Play on rookie it’s easy

What does that even mean? I'm saying it's unbalanced because I don't have the players that the AI teams have. I don't have LS Trout or Degrom, or the collection rewards like Thomas or Clemente.
It would BE balanced if the teams you faced corresponded to your team's overall rating.

Playing on rookie has been harder this year from my experience. I’m on my third run of mini seasons and I’ve caught myself going on auto pilot when playing and it bit me a few times and lost a few games. Worst case scenario, put a few speedy bunt cheesers at the top of your lineup to get a few men on base. It might help get you moving.
The thing is if I do get speedy runners on base, when I try to steal second, I am OUT almost every time. It's unbelievable.
I don’t suggest stealing against the CPU in mini seasons. I would stack the top of my lineup with guys like Jimmy Rollins, Paul Molitor, and Byron Buxton and drag bunt with all three. Yes it’s cheese but sometimes I’m just being lazy.

I will absolutely defend him here. I consistently coast to WS in ranked. I played mini seasons on veteran and I don’t think I won a playoff game by more than 4. It was not rare for me to be shutout until the 3rd. Not because I can’t hit but because the ball wont leave the yard and trout Clemente buxton etc in the OF run down everything

This is where tanking comes in. If you are able to build a good size lead and clinch the top seed early, you can quit out against the average and bad teams at the end of the schedule to try to push out the god squads.

It's okay. I've been frustrated lately. I've developed carpal tunnel symptoms in my left hand and my controller is getting stick drift after a year of use (I blame the fact it's a launch controller), so there are external factors too. The pain sucks, the numb spells suck, but I can't do much about it now. I'm a student and I have to type a lot.
-
Again, if you can’t beat these teams in rookie you don’t deserve the rewards.
-
Yeah, people don’t mean to be condescending, but if you struggle on Rookie, then head to batting practice on AS against Nolan Ryan and watch pitches for 2 minutes (put only fastballs in the middle and after your eye is used to hit start hacking). Work up from there (locations, pitch types). You’re not new here, you should be raking on Veteran at the minimum.

If you're struggling in mini seasons on rookie you should find a different game to enjoy
