    I'll defend the game against RNG complaints - the better player is more likely to win in this game than the better team winning in real baseball.

    Its how the RNG works that can be maddening and lead to questions.

    So the question becomes why would I perform equally or maybe even less effectively with an all 99 team than I did with a low diamond and live series club.

    This is somewhat anecdotal, but I feel like this has happened to me. I was using a Chase Utley Captain card to get PxP's towards the Phillies TA. When I look at the stats for Chase's card, they're WAY better than what I'm currently hitting. Same goes for some of the early-cycle cards.

    Mini season is different - the cpu teams are WAY better than in April

    Typically true, but the first team I met in the "Finest" Mini Season was the Cats who had a 63 overall. All LS commons and bronzes.

    I had to walk off against them to win 1-0.

    In addition to what's been mentioned, sometimes you press with better cards.

    While pressing is definitely a thing, I have been playing long enough at the same difficulty that I hope I have minimized that tendency.

    I guess I could try the same with last years data and see if it held true.

    Keep us posted if you do. I think it’s pretty plain to see no matter what cards or difficulty the amount of randomness game to game can be off the charts at times.

    I just decided to see how many pages of games that would be and I am getting a error that the API is not available.

    Ok, I’ll come right out and say it:

    I’m convinced our all 99 God-mode squads are nerfed in Conquest. That’s a hill I’ll die on. 🫣

    I do not think difficulty matters in how the CPU pitches, you may just be comfortable with All Star's velo. Considering how the vast majority of pitches you hit will be on or very near the black, you may end up rolling over less outside pitches.

    Mini seasons are tougher to hit in general due to facing significantly better pitchers that are somewhat curated (even the lone common pitcher in playoff mini seasons is the one with max velo outlier)

    offensive production varies based on an agenda we have zero knowledge of as a player base.

    I'll be mashing the ball and a new program will drop which needs mission stats filled and my numbers will dwindle.

    Get on base 5 times with Brian Roberts. Watch as pitchers dot like mad, so no walks and great contact goes right to fielders.

    That’s because mini seasons has diamond pitchers vs the bronzes we usually face in conquest.
