How can you see live rosters? Like how do you know who the 5th pitcher in their rotation is. I know Yankees is Warren, Red Sox is a lefty rookie, Marlins is a right handed, Tampa is Baz. Braves is Strider. Just wondering if it’s smart to target certain pitchers.
Go to the community market. Filter on for the team you want and live series only and position = starting pitcher. Then just count down from the top. 5th from the top is pitcher #5.
Just gotta watch if multiple have the same rating.

As far as the conquest goes, the 1st run ended at the blue Jays, the 2nd run ended at the Phillies and the 3rd run ended at the Phillies so I'm going to take the weekend off from this game and enjoy the Pokémon game instead
SB after a loss you can still re attack the same stronghold, you don’t have to restart necessarily.

@icebergslim7669_PSN nope can't because then you won't have enough fans to finish the 1st turn

Oh maybe you can’t on the first turn, not sure about that, but you can later on.

I would rather not have to play the map again that's why I restart, it's happened to many content creators who I watch

The issue is no margin for error on turn 1. You cannot just continue as @sbchamps17_NSW mentioned.

This is true. After the first round, I lost a game due to the dreaded "You have been disconnected from the Show online". I was still able to finish the rest of the map on All Star.
If you can make it past round 1, which yes, will require 2 games on legend, every other game should be a maximum of All Star difficulty.

Glad to hear this confirmed, i’m sitting at 80 pts in tbe program, with just 9 more teams to beat, i lost to Diamondbacks somehow on all star but played them again and won, so should have Elly by tomorrow barring a disaster the rest of the way.

So for a little help to everyone having trouble on legend against the live series roster the key is patience and Pitcher choice. Before the game starts always pick your 5th SP that way you guarantee you're going to face that teams 5th starter (usually their worst and usually a 75 or under). This will guarantee you will still have a decent PCI size, next remember it's Conquest and only 3 innings so if your pitcher gets in trouble switch your pitcher. Play the match up you don't have to wait for 3 batters in a 3 inning game you call pull a pitcher every batter if you want.

Update, I had to restart again, made it to the Nationals this time and lost in 5 innings on legend, need to find guys for my bullpen that actually will do well on legend, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, til then I'm going back to sleep trying to recover from pneumonia

Spooky kimbrel has been money for me .

And NLDS Koenig if your looking for a lefty.

The problem with extreme conquest maps is that there is no margin for error, and that 'error' can be simply not stealing fans at the right time.
I haven't bothered with this for multiple reasons, but it appears another mode where 'Extreme' morphed into unnecessarily complicated and frustrating for the sake of it rather than just straight up challenging.
SDS have been great this year, but they missed the mark here, again.

I believe you can’t even steal fans on this map, its only attack and reinforce

You don't have to steal fans at all, stealing fans will just give you more room for an error meaning you can lose some games and still finish it completely and it will also let you play on easier difficulties. So of course I recommend to steal fans after every turn on whatever difficulty you feel comfortable to win easily.
It is not really complicated, just follow the goals, that will tell you which way you should conquer teams. The only difficult part is first turn because you need to play 2 games on legend and 6 on hall of fame. Rest can be played on all-star/veteran, depending on how many fans you steal.
Trust me, try it, you can do it easily! -
For pitching to the CPU, alternate high and in fastball and low and away breaking ball and they cant touch it. I made it through the entire extreme conquest and only gave up 2 runs with that strategy
-
You don’t need to use a bullpen guy.. I got in a Trend and used Bryce miller for innings 1-2 switched to sale for 2 (if needed) and 3. Key for me was finding people that had a HR/9 rating as high as possible and then admitting who it not good using. I failed about four times using Franco. It’s doable. Just need to be focused
-
And as others mentioned switch out pitchers in red. Match up against lefties and righties (I think the Mets had lefties that couldn’t hit at 7-9) and take pitches. Get their starter out!

You can steal fans. I did it after my first turn, but I'm not even sure if I needed to. After the first turn, I played every game on All Star.
At the expense of having everyone yell at me... I found this map easier than prior years. I don't remember having to play on legend, but there was more "strategy" involved in how to attack strongholds. At least that's what I remember.
Now... Everything else this year was more difficult for me, anyway.
