There is definitely something different with Conquest. When I play on rookie in Conquest I rarely put up more than 3 or 4 runs whereas if I play on rookie in play vs the cpu I put up 30-40 per game.
Agreed. The defense and pitching on rookie is absurd / rigged!!!!!

The only issue I have with conquest maps is that there is too many of them. I’m already 7 maps behind.
Ha ha. Same, but it's because I don't need the CC jerseys. I always play with my Picasso creation uni's anyway 🤪
Sliders are definitely cranked in CQ.
I used to run to them. Now I run from them for the OP reason, and I only get packs of poo out of them. -

I think the main time suck for these conquests now (especially the TA ones)is the cpu has way way way too many high number spaces surrounding the strongholds, sometimes it takes 15 turns to move 2 spaces to get near the stronghold.
If this is not an exaggeration, you're doing something very very wrong.

Just lost my third stronghold on this TA 2 East map. Wow!!!

Stop leaving your strongholds empty.
Guys if you are really honestly struggling with conquest, hop on youtube. You aren't doing it right if it's difficult.

CPU is definitely more aggressive with simulating this year. Im sure it was an exaggeration but they do stack more fans in surrounding territories more than previous years and take more fans away when simming.

I leave all my Strongholds empty.
Also don't think he was talking about his Strongholds being attacked...vice versa, I believe. The games you HAVE to play.
-
Sorry, I’m not explaining it properly. I’m attacking a stronghold. And I’m losing the game to take their stronghold.
Yankees, Red Sox and now the Mets.
I’ve never had to replay three before. Again, even with that crazy extreme kraken map from last year.
This Ta 2 East map is on steroids. Never seen anything like it.

What difficulty? I think I have only lost once or twice on all the Maps I have completed this season. I pay them all on Veteran.
-
Only difference I really notice between Rookie and Veteran...CPU pitchers on Veteran actually seem to be more erratic and pitches are a lot more volatile. I'll go from Rookie where every pitch is practically a meat ball to playing a stronghold on Veteran and the pitcher not only throws way more balls out of the zone, but pitches are just nasty. Sliders that go from the middle of the zone to the middle of the opposite batters box. Sinkers that start belt high and end up in the dirt. I get antsy. It's just like jumping into an online game from an offline game. Also, my pitchers seem to miss more down the middle of the plate, but I'm lazy and use classic pitching so I can't really complain about that. My incognito Nestor Cortes got lit up by the Mets. Pete Alonso was his daddy! So like someone else said...it's user error.

This is getting absurd. Is SDS’s main mission to waste Users’ time? Is the goal to make people logged in as long as possible? Because it is becoming increasingly clear in many instances. In these [censored] conquest games ON VETERAN and you’re driving the ball for lazy fly outs and their pitchers are dotting the black every pitch. On all star or higher, I get it. But veteran or lower, no excuse. It’s supposed to be for grinding. And apparently the difficulty level is completely irrelevant in conquest now.
This guy^^^^^ wow!!!! Why doesn’t SDS just give you the code so you can program your own preferences in. What’s the purpose of playing a game if every outcome is predetermined based on the particular user (op) personal preference to have the cpu only throw fastballs down the middle and have the cpu fielders either drop everything or just not field the ball at all. Lol

Wait til you have to play a game on HOF. I can only imagine what your complaint would be then.

Wasn't complaining...just pointing out differences.
-
I been saying for the last 2 years, play all conquest on All Star. Hitting will be so much better.
-
For some odd reason... I have always hit better in conquest on All-star than I do on veteran. If you are struggling, hop into practice on HOF and then go play conquest on All-star... I think you will do better than playing on veteran.

It's weird because I've never had a hard time ever in Conquest, including this year until this TA2 East map. I wouldn't call it a hard time but I've had to do the Braves stronghold 3 times and the Yankees and Marlins twice. That just doesn't happen but all of a sudden the past couple days the CPU is jacking balls over the wall and with guys with little power like Harrison Bader and my guys are swinging pool noodles. I don't mind a challenge but I do rookie and veteran on maps to grind stats and programs.
-
All games should have to be played at Allstar or above

Why? What difference does it make if people want to play cpu games on whatever difficulty they choose?
Or are you one of those "git gud" gamers.

I am playing them all on veteran or Rookie.
I stopped last night after my last post. I took the Mets stronghold in extra innings but only after the CPU literally (no exaggeration) robbed my team of three homers by climbing the wall in the 3rd inning.
That was enough stress for one evening. Still have Tampa and Toronto to go. Can’t wait to see the “fun” I’ll have with them.
