@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.
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.
-
Thanks everyone, question though, I have Bob Gibson is he a good pitcher to use? I was using Randy and Pedro but got them both P5 so I put Gibson in there instead but managed only 1 inning out of him is there another starter besides the 2 that I got P5 and of course Chris Sale is also P5 so not him
-
Am I the only one finding the map easy? No I am not an elite player
-
So I got through all of the first goals and then stole fans from the Rockies. I reinforced my strongholds next to each team I was about to face in round 2. I beat most of the teams for goal 2 but then it stopped allowing me to attack the pirates or cardinals and would only allow me to play the padres, rangers, or white Sox. I’m so confused on what I did wrong. I guess I’m going to just play out the rest of the goals and go back to goal 2.

Yeah i noticed before my 5 th turn you could steal, don’t know why i didn’t notice before,got a bit of a scare when i was attacking the remaining empty places , it kept saying you cannot attack anywhere, moved my last piece to attack the spot with one, and in.a 2-1 simulation i won lol, Elly is mine and i feel relieved i didn’t do that whole map for nothing.

Neither of the last two years required you to win 10 games in a row on HoF+ with the 10th on Legend
In fact, neither year required you to touch legend mode unless you lost a game or two in the first round.
