Homeruns in Rookie difficulty across DD modes

In general miniseasons are worse for hitting
It does seem harder for doubles, since nearly every OF is a 95+ player. But HRs are definitely easier, I've played 8 games now in Mini Seasons and I'm hitting moonshots. I've even got a half dozen oppos which NEVER happens in Conquest games. It's such a drastic difference it's just puzzling why they nerf hitting in Conquest games. The most HRs I've ever had in a Conquest game was 3 (Coors field with wind at my back) in 100s of games. 8 games into Mini Series I have a couple of 4 HR games, none less than 2. I wish I had known this 2 seasons ago LOL. And using directional is just cheating, I do it occasionally for HR moments but it's not really fun.

maybe its because I play on all star but my experience is dramatically different than yours

I play on veteran and just cranked out 12 in two conquest games, granted they were at Colorado.
I do occasionally have a dry spell where I seem to not be getting lucky but it is never a prolonged issue.

I always do mini seasons for the home runs. It seems easier than conquest in those short stadiums
-
Conquest is weird. One game I scored 25 (wasn't even taking the best swings) then the next game I scored like 3.
-
@Precisionist99_XBL I notice that on some conquest games playing Rookie is harder than others. I've even lost a few. Maybe I've been half asleep.
But yeah, it does vary. -
Sliders are definitely cranked in Conquest.

Since I started playing this game in September of 22 I have always played on rookie but towards the end of last year and now all of this year I play exclusively on veteran or even all star now and actually find it easier than rookie
-
Yeah for me hitting success on Rookie/Vet is easily ranked:
-
Play vs CPU (White Sox home at custom stadiums or Rockies road at Coors)
-
Conquest (just be sure to use your 4th or 5th starter to get better matchups)
-
Mini Seasons (skip to your home games, road against Lichtenstein, Seoul, and I like to play at Lima. Not a good hitters park but I want to unlock that [censored] FIESTA!)

I was also going to say it also seems a bit easier on Veteran than Rookie on Conquest games. I play on a 75" TV (with "Game Mode" set) and for some reason visually the slow pitches just dont match the visuals in Rookie, I am constantly pulling the ball. On my screen I swear I'm swinging into the ball, but then it's either pulled or miss (very early). I think maybe since Mini Seasons are using 95+ pitchers most of the time the pitch speed is more in line with the visual speed on my screen?
