Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

[ALLMAN93]

I just tweeted him to see if I could get an answer on whether or not there is an actual reward for completing Conquest mode when it gets fixed. Here's what he said.

It took long enough. I'm pissed I spent $100 on the DD digital deluxe edition plus an extra $50 on stubs and can't even play DD offline.

You would think the clown always running his yap on the developer streams would know if Conquest has a reward at the end. I'm currently waiting to clear last territory myself.

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

Doesn't make sense for there to be a reward for 20 BR wins and not a full Conquest completion. BR is harder no doubt, but Conquest takes time, so the reward for BR should be better.

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

good job for bothering to tweet him. "Make good" in Ramone speak is basically "filed away somewhere". I wouldn't hold my breath

As for queuing, that has become a MLB The Show server issues/inadequacies/overtaxed classic over the years (to answer your 2nd question)

Ridiculous. So completing something so tedious gets you nothing. There should be one reward for competing it, ala Madden journey mode. Just a ridiculous oversight on their part.

It appears you and one other guy in here took it the same way I did. I take it as initially there wasn't going to be one but because of this blunder, there will be. I mean I spent a solid 14 hours straight with a buddy trying to complete it with the idea that at the end it would all be worth it because I'd get some sort of a reward. I guess not. Well I guess there will be but who knows what that'll be or when that'll be.

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

you can complete this mode more than once, so doubt there would be some sort reward for completing

That is a good point. Plus the fact that you can sim about 90% of the mode also makes rewards trickier.

I mean I see what you're saying but there's a pretty easy solution to that. Just simply allow the reward to only be given upon completion 1 time. Each time after that just prompt the user and let them know that they will not be receiving a reward this time around because they've already collected the reward. There's solo challenges in MUT (madden) that allow you to play it and collect the reward and after you've collected it and try to play again it says you will not receive a reward anymore.

It's still a grind even with simming, no? I haven't played enough, but you would think there would be some type of reward for completing.

It is, bc you cannot sim against strongholds

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

Could just as easy give the reward once for completion and make it so that "x" numbers of games have to be played. That way you just dont sim everything but the stronghold games. I enjoy this mode and have played about 30+ games in it. The after game rewards have not been great to me but I am also usually playing on Vet to ensure a win so that may be a problem.

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

But how many games is that? 30 is the minimum and these are three inning games that can be played on easier difficulty levels if need be.


I am not saying that there should not be a reward but if there was I would not expect it to be a very stellar.


The developers never once mentioned a reward for finishing the mode in any of their descriptions. .

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

So i have beaten the mode, would i be safe to reset the board and continue grinding out innings for the command missions?

Re: Word from Ramone Russell on Conquest mode

Why are people claiming it would be impossible to give rewards for beating the mode?

You can get 95+ rated diamonds with insane stats from conquest missions and you only have to play 1000ish innings worth of games.

There's no reason why they couldn't give a large reward every time you beat Conquest, which takes at least 30 games. A large XP reward, a modest stub reward (1000) and a special pack with a large amount of cards in it would be a respectable reward.
