Conquest Pitcher Energy

[ebtparkes]

I thought that pitcher energy meant you wouldn’t be able to start the same pitcher every game in DD. In conquest their energy never depletes. Am I missing something?

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

Not really no, don't think they really gave conquest much thought when implementing the picking pitchers thing. So you can just decide which computer pitcher you want to face, while also using the same starter yourself every time

Thanks Oscar, I don’t really like that, but at least challenges will be easier I guess

No they said in the streams that you can use the same pitcher over and over if you want. I have no problem with that.

The one thing to keep in mind though is that if you start your highest rated pitcher every game you will always be facing your opposing teams highest rated pitcher. So if you don't want to face Scherzer or Strasburg when playing Washington then you would do well to choose your #3 pitcher.

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

I really appreciate them allowing you to pick your pitched in Conquest. Aside from simply enjoying the mode I like to use Conquest to complete my daily team innings missions and that's so much easier - especially early, when I can't load up my entire roster with a particular team's players - without having to worry about randomization or energy.

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

The conquest hack this year will be having Ohtani in your 5 spot and just playing the other teams 5th starter all year while raking with Ohtani. I'm perfectly fine with this as Conquest is ok for what it is but I very much appreciate the chance to get them done and out of the way quicker.

What spot you have them in doesn't matter. On the pitcher selection screen they are ranked based on their overall rating and not the spot you have them in.

Of course it remains to be seem how that works when you have all 99 pitchers late in the year.

Ahh didn't even think of that. I haven't really added to my team yet outside of the preorder diamonds so Ohtani probably fell in that spot naturally since he's only an 81

Neither did I originally, I had to test it by putting Scherzer in my #5 spot.

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

As someone only has 1-2 hours a day to play, and plays in conquest mode more than any other mode, I can't say I like the new pitcher fatigue system. I don't see the point in having more than one or maybe two really good pitchers in my rotation, with a bunch of other low rated starting pitchers I will never use.

It's great to use your best pitcher, but it gets repetitive especially if you don't have the stubs or money to constantly get another expensive pitcher to use. And takes away some realism. There is no incentive to have any depth in your rotation.

This system works fine for people who have 8 hours a day to compete in multiplayer but is a big fail in the other modes as far as I'm concerned.

For Conquest exclusively I don't think it really matters that much, does it? With the previous system being random you could potentially add a starter to your rotation that you don't use for like 12 games. At least this way you can still add depth to your rotation and choose your starters and manage it the same way you would as if they lost stamina. That's what I've been doing since adding better starters when I want variety and when I eventually get around to Ranked Seasons I'll be using a true 5-man.

Sure, the game isn't forcing you to use someone since you can just use the same guys all the time. But if you manage it on your own you'll get the same result, I think.

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

I don't know why anyone would want to use the same pitcher every game in Conquest. That would be boring. I like to mix it up and/or get innings from my affinity teams.

Also, the Ohtani thing doesn't really matter in Conquest, since I don't think I've ever let a pitcher bat, even him!

[papadell]

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

I got bored of spamming Ohtani anyway. Eventually switched up who I used and actually enjoyed it more. Conquest is really perfect because it's short games which gives quick bursts of using players and then you're done. Rinse and repeat.

It's a big reason I wish Ranked was 6 or 7 innings. The games just take too damn long.

Re: Conquest Pitcher Energy

I didn't understand this mode at first and just when I did my first attack I lose a 1-0 nothing walk off to the Nats on freaking veteran difficulty no less after playing all the fan stealing games on all star.😒😒

The main reason to mix it up is to avoid pitchers that you hate batting against. When I play the nationals I always pick my fourth or fifth pitcher so I am not matched up against Scherzer.
