I don’t know what happened to me. I was consistently hitting between 390 and 420 for almost the first 2 months - working my way up the dynamic difficulty from rookie to veteran+. Then I fell apart and I’m down to rookie. I think I’m down to 340. I can’t judge strikes anymore at all (never my strong point), but I was doing well enough. I could at least make contact.I’m still struggling at rookie now.
I’m using one of the zoomed in views while batting. The strike zone takes up much of the screen. At first I had a much easier time judging strikes with this.
Bumping up my question: As a pitcher in RTTS in the 19 version, is there a way to see how my defense is aligned (e.g. is there a shift on?) for the current batter?
Closest you can get to the '78 Yankees is in the Diamond Dynasty mode. There are Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, and Reggie Jackson cards. The Guidry is specifically based on '78, but the Gossage is based on the '81 season, and the Jackson is based on his Oakland years.
I bounced back. I struggled, but I got the difficulty back to veteran, and then it fell again. After my batting average fell to around 320 (from 420) I got it back up and finished AAA at 340 which I was OK with. I finally hit my first HR too.
Edit:
First 8 games I have 30 AB and hitting 430, number 4 in the league. Got up to veteran difficulty. It won’t last though.
I got a major league contract and played spring training for the Yankees, starting off horribly and then getting my average to 310 and made the team. The difficulty dropped to beginner 3 before I worked it back up to rookie +. It will be interesting to see how I do in my first major league season and where the dynamic difficulty will go. Happy now to be in the real major league stadiums.
I’ve been poking around in some of the diamond dynasty screens after playing some conquest mode and moments. is there any reason I don’t want to trade common players for bronze or bronze for better players. Do I need to keep them for collections or something?
Yeah, there are various awards for assembling certain #s of players from each team. Once you’ve used a player for that purpose though, you won’t be able to trade them in or sell them. But you’ll likely have multiple copies of a lot of common/bronze players anyways. So keep 1 of each and trade in the rest.
Ok thanks. 90 percent of the players I get are worse than my starting players. I guess they are there for collections. I really want to land Don Mattingly and Ron Guidry.
I just got a bonus pack where I got to pick 1 player out of 30. I wanted about half of them. Unfortunately no Guidry or Mattingly. Some of my choices were Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Tony Gwymm, Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Ricky Henderson and a ton more of great players. I went with Ted Williams.
The conquer mode is pretty fun. 3 inning games so they move pretty quickly but enough where it feels like a game. It seems like there should be some type of pitcher fatigue modeled between games because you can always use your best. You should also be able to alter your lineup before habd after knowing the opposing pitcher.
I made the mistake of heading right for the Yankees. I had a stalemate at there headquarters but finally took them. Going after the Rays now which has been easier so far. Due to my fan numbers I have been able to play most at veteran and a couple at rookie, which helps with the winning percentage.
I also played some of the flashback things which are quick fun. I wonder what other modes I’m missing with Road to October and anything else.
Road to October is a great addition. You pick a team and it takes you through a whole season, having you play a few innings of certain games, putting you in the shoes of certain players for some games, etc. It’s a pretty cool feature. After the season is over, I think you have the option to continue on in franchise mode.
Is there any remote chance this moves from PS+ to PS Now? I don’t own a console and that’s unlikely to change, but I’d probably subscribe to Now on the PC if this showed up there.
I like Super Mega II, but I’m always a sucker for sports games with a good “Be A Legend” type mode.
Is there a diamond dynasty mode that had your team play a season in single player, so things like managing the rotation and bullpen stamina matter? I don’t see one.
Isn’t that just franchise mode? I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking. Or do you want to be able to play franchise mode with your diamond dynasty team? Not sure if that’s too feasible since your DD team would be constantly changing.
