If i have 20M Fans, i should be able to select as many places as i want to take over that would legit cut down the time by half.
Nope, instead SDS is like,
you have to sit there and watch the boring screen for an hour and a half lol
Surprisingly, SDS actually made a huge improvement to sim times this year. It used to take at least twice as long to sim each hex. but I completely agree -- it takes way too long and there's really nothing strategic about it. Just build up an army and sim, reload, repeat. If there was more to it than just click and wait, I think that would be kinda cool
I agree….they did a great job of improving the sim times. I just still don’t understand how this mode relates to a baseball game. People always tell me “it’s like Risk” and “you get all these free packs”. That still just does t help me understand how it relates to a baseball game.
People also say there really isn’t anything new they can do with the game. How about a conquest type mode that doesn’t involve hexagons and numbers, but involves random attacks where I have to shutdown the heart of their order with my ace or I have to score a run in one inning against their ace.
I like Conquest but I could get with something like that. It's better than having to play a game against HOF or Legend because the stronghold you just conquered got attacked.

That kinda sounds like Showdown, which everyone hates.
Which is always interesting to me….people hate Showdown which is baseball oriented yet love Conquest which is based on a board game. People love conquest because of free packs, not what they are actually doing in the mode. People hate Showdown because of the one and done nature of it.
This is pretty much correct. I don't mind Showdown and it is something different but it can be a pain sometimes. I think it would be better if they gave you X number of tries for certain challenges/moments or maybe instituted something like a checkpoint. Yeah yeah, get good. But it's kind of annoying to spend 45 minutes or so on showdown and lose to the final Boss and therefore have to start all over again. It's not like you're earning anything while doing it aside from the negligible amount of XP.

Extreme isnt designed for everyone, thus is why SDS said exactly that in their stream. It doesnt expire, it will just sit there for you to take a shot at every now and then if you are feeling brave, or sit there and grind it all out in a week or 2 if you want. It isnt part of a program or RS, or BR. It is just an added feature that a lot of us were pretty upset they took away for 1 year last year. Regular Moments, showdown and conquest offer absolutely NO challenge to most people who play this game yearly. Extreme is a great way to kill some of the monotony.
Its not about the difficulty of the moments, its moments in general. They are a waste of time and boring 4 games in.
what you say here is 100% true - that being said - go play online in Ranked or Events or BR then - i hate moments so i don't play them, i don't need to whine online about them because i prefer the online experience - others prefer moments - stop being a giant toddler
if you don't like those game options then throw your game into the trash, it's not for you
Haha, have you played online this year, it is even more boring than offline.
I'm not whining at all, I'm providing my opinion on the state of the game.
you can comment and have your opinion but i'll never see why someone to insult someone or calling them names.
Why don't you make your own thread about how much you love the game instead of calling me names.
i've played this game since sammy sosa was on the cover - online plays just fine - every year has it's own issues - you sound like you don't like OFFLINE and ONLINE modes - why are you even here ? we get it - you don't like the game - no one cares - can you get over it mentally at this point?
You cared enough to comment haha
yeah just because you sound ridiculous and you still cannot see it - it's unbelievable how you are waffling on both offline and online play - and yet HERE YOU ARE !!!! wanting to hang out with all of us - you are just attention seeking at this point
Not at all, this is a forum and i'm providing my opinions. You are the one calling people names on the internet.
calling names? you are just attention seeking at this point, whining about a game you don't like - this isn't name calling, it's you just deflecting
lol, if everyone just said, "Hey SDS they game is perfect" they would continue being lazy and putting out a boring game. You have to express your opinions. You are the one attention seeking name calling.
you keep saying to me that i'm name calling but you ignore literally everything i'm saying - keep digging your boots into the dirt mate it makes no difference to me
Thanks!
what are you thanking me for? for giving you a bit of a smack in the head on the ole common sense department? if so you are very welcome

You want to come do my moments for extreme as I probably im no where good enough to get it done. All I have to say is it is better then the 3 HR Danial Nava moment. That was hell on earth.
-
I thought I wouldnt even try it (I never have any other time they did it) but......decided to try conquest extreme, and it was pretty easy with only the first 6 games on either AS or Veteran if you get lucky. If you do the conquest extreme, and can do 4 of the moments (recommend Pujols 2's, 1HR, 8 HR with Griffey, Shohei is a unicorn and likely either the Wood 20 K's OR Delgado 10 TB for the 4th one. If you just do these, and get Wood to P4 and one set of 25K PXP, you get to Aroldis Chapman, and that is as far as I will go, as the rest of those moments stink and Showdown Extreme, absolutely no way I'm doing that! But most players should at least be able to get to the best LH Closer in the game, which is super cool.

ok thought it was only me. but i do remember extreme from a few years ago and the way they did it was much more fun and challenging. It was like a progression to get to the 'boss'. This year's is just like there was no thinking behind it. It's just another program set on a higher difficulty.

I’m still twitching from that moment and still haven’t completed it. People who say the computer throws meatballs in moments or says the moments are too easy doesn’t know what pain is.

I've never minded Conquest. I liked Risk as a kid...
Moments, on the other hand...
I got Wood by doing the Conquest. I'll use him to grind his PXP, but I'm not going anywhere near the moments. [censored] that. [censored] it twice.

That is exactly right, but that can be said about MLB 22 in general.
The only thought put into the game was card art and the thrill of that only lasts 4 seconds lol.
They've taken the easy route to this years game and still probably made plenty of profit because of morons like me who keep buying it.

Conquest was fun 4 years ago, they've only made 1 change to the mode in 6 games and that was increasing the simulation time.
If they had 1 or 2 conquest boards every 2 months that would be fine, but there are 2/3 per program which is like every other week a new conquest board, its hard for me to get through bc of how boring it is and overexposed.Like the previous person said, have some thought into it.
At least allow, if I had 20M fans i can take 20 spaces, instead of going 1by1 which takes forever. Let me get through it faster.

You’re gaining 3 points every time you get 25k PXP in any mode towards extreme, you will eventually beat it just playing other modes. Finish what you can and wait it out.

Oh you are 100% right,
Only flaw is I dont really play because the game isn't really good. lol

I will say that my experience with "Extreme" has been completely different than I expected. Last year was my first year to play DD and just didn't see what the big deal with Extreme was. Then the gameplay this year has been so terrible that I hated to see how that was handled with Extreme. There is no question that this program has been the most enjoyable thing I have done with the game this year. I really haven't been playing the game much lately, but I have now completed all the moments and the conquest. I will probably give the Showdown a try this weekend, but regardless I should be at 88 points in no time once I finish the last two Wood missions.
The moments have not been impossible, but they have been a challenge. I am sure they are not "extreme" enough for many, but most of them have been a challenge and enjoyable. I have always been a much bigger fan of moments where I am put in a situation and I need to succeed...not do a specific thing. These moments that are the comeback ones are a lot of fun and you do feel like you accomplish something when you complete them. I know I am crazy, but "user input" has seemed much more relevant in these moments that the game normally allows for. For the most part the outcome was what I expected based on my input.
I absolutely hate conquest and I complain about a mode based on hexagons and numbers more than anyone, but I enjoyed this map way more than any other. The USA map is just too big in my opinion and you still can just work your way through it on just about any level. This map takes a bit of planning, but should still be possible for just about anyone. I played most of the games on AS...had to defend on Legend once and was able to finish it out however I wanted, but there was some strategy involved. I would not hate conquest near as much if it was a map like this every two months...rather than the normal ones we get once a week.
All in all, I have just really enjoyed Extreme and I completely get why the guys who have been around here for years have wanted it back.
