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?

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.

So since the game came out I've mostly done Conquest games to get missions done. I'm not a great player so I mostly play on Rookie, although sometimes attack at Veteran in Conquest when required. I've noticed I'm hitting a lot less HRs this year compared to other years. So here's what I've noticed (rough estimates)...in Conquest games with a handful of 100+ power guys I'll hit HRs maybe once every 3 games. LOTS of warning track hits. I also play March to October sometimes (on Rookie) and hit HRs maybe every other game (with default [censored] rosters). I just started playing Mini Seasons (again with a handful of 100 power guys) on Rookie and I'm hitting 2 - 3 HRs a game! Shouldn't Rookie difficulty be the same across all modes? Mini Seasons against high 90s teams seems way easier than the Conquest games against default rosters.
