The 20 total bases with shortstops is easy too. You can get a full 8 player field with shortstops, granted some aren't that great, but one game vs the cpu and its done.

How in the world where you a 99 by that time? I've pitched 17 games, dominating all of and I've barely seen any stat increases. Seems like it will take me 100's of games just to reach the 80's.
Randy Johnson, any of the rockies power hitters, Daryl Kile would be cool too.
Played a guy who had his guy named Speedy Speedman. Had to be max height with the lowest weight/body style. Was hilarious, looked like former NBA player Shawn Bradley.
Played a few games of conquest at hall of fame difficulty and even the cpu spams contact swings for homeruns.
My only issue is that everyone seems to have the same team. Admittedly I'm new to this series but there isn't much variety in players to get, at least quality ones. This game should be flooded with options for people to use.
@jynxdajester_psn said in How does one get by 5XBS in 3 games with Carter?:
I have tried it all. With normal swings he's a flyout waiting to happen. With power he can't catch enough to hit enough out. I've gotten to 3 or 4 of 5. Patience doesn't work as the CPU won't pitch jack to actually drive. It knows what you need to achieve and pitches at your knees or way out side. ANY SUGGESTIONS other then grind? I have done that... even the 5 XBS missions seems like a joke with this rookie [censored]!
I gave upon rookie games vs the cpu.5 straight games I was held to less than 4 hits. Swapped to veteran and practically walked thru the challenges. I avg 12-20 hits on this level. Just seems like rookie is homerun or nothing.

What’s the best for hitting?
I've been using strike zone 2, but I've found some ballparks can cut into it on the high side of the zone for some pitchers. Notably Kansas city and a pitcher with a high delivery.
@lord-oimak_xbl said in SDS calls you get to make 3 cards....what are they?:
97 Dustin Pedroia 2008 MVP Card
96 Bo Jackson 1989 Breakout
99 Barry Bonds 73 Home Runs (Yeah it wont happen but it'd be awesome)
Randy Johnson 1998 second half with Houston
Andres Gallarraga 1996
Sammy Sosa 1998 MVP
( I'm a bit biased to the 90's, went to over a hundred games)
I would add in the amount of broken bats on inside pitches is a bit extreme too. But baserunning is horrible, so many lost runs because of it.

@kotank1334_psn said in Why this game is an absolute joke:
Yeah... let's get it out of the way. I lost a game and I'm bitter
I struck the guy out 19 times.... He struck me out 7
I put the ball in play 20 times.. 7 of which had PCI of 14 or high and didn't get one of those to be a hit.
He put the ball in play a whopping 11 times TOTAL.... ONE PCI of a 14. Everything else was a 12 or lower.... Including the game winning HR.
Now this is All-Star Hell of course since the season reset. But Can someone please chime in here and tell me Git Gud or defend the game to the end of times. Because that was literally the most frustrating games I have ever played.
Seeing comments about levels of PCI reached. How do you know what the level is?

I played a game the othet day against a team with around a 150-150 record online. At the time I had only 5 wins this season when we played.
From the start of the game every player on his team was hitting no less than .400 with multiple players with 50+ homeruns. Basically he was a far better player than I was and by a lot. I'll admit after his 5th homerun in the first inning off of a pitch that hit home plate I quit. After I got a message from him thanking me for his 50th win this season.
I dont understand how I was matched up with a player who was clearly better and much further along in the season in regards to wins. For the record I don't expect to not lose, but this far and away the most extreme difference I've come across.

Cant see how big of a deal it is honestly. Almost every DD team is 95+ ovr complete team as it is. Complaining about one player is the same as saying people shouldn't be able to use Mike Trout or Chipper Jones. Even if a CAP is a pitcher, it's still a one in 4-5 chance of catching them. Then the player still has to be good. One player will not make someone immediately unbeatable.

I'm pretty much in the same mold as your friend. The game has some good points but sadly diamond dynasty is frustrating as hell. The other modes are all essentially moments and they get old quick. What helped me the most was finding a group to get into a franchise with. Kind of sucks needing 4 people at a minimum, but the mode isn't too bad. You can scale the difficulty as needed. And at least for me, when the cpu does beat me I know it's because they have as good or a better team as opposed to the 95 ovr DD teams everyone has. (I shred my team for youth and grind from there, madden style)
I find myself willing to bounce back and forth without too much burnout.
Josh Donaldson, his 83 ovr card. I wreck with that swing personally. Honestly not sure if I can use it on my CAP, but I keep him in my lineup just because of it.

@ikasnu_psn said in CAP SP or RP:
Create a RP, put him in the bullpen, switch the archetype to The Houdini. Delete all other loadouts, when you go into a game it will say you have no active loadout. Just press circle and you'll have whichever loadout is equipped.
Houdini can reach 125 h/9, 125 k/9, with max velo. My CAP threw 102, 71, 85, 92, 94. Oh and upwards of 110 Stammy
What are your four perks for this beast?
I'm curious as well, I have several diamond perks and even with all the velocity I can put on I can only hit 101mph but my control is in the 50's and stamina is in the mid 90's. I dialed back on speed and moved to more break/control and have been happier with the results. Granted I use metered pitching since I can't get PPP down at all.
