Dynamic Difficulty?

Anybody else loving the dynamic difficulty? For those that don't know, it starts at rookie and adjusts as you get better/worse at the game. It makes me feel like I'm not cheating the game by playing it too easy, and isn't so frustrating as when I play it at a level that's too difficult. It gives each inning a little more meaning, as you can change the difficulty with a good/bad inning.

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

I was wondering about this setting. I played a game last night on All-Star with the Mariners and I won 10-4 against the angels. Seemed a little too easy for me so i was curious about this. Do you have any game results?

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

Interesting concept, I am curious, does it adjust each inning, or each game or what's the frequency?

Also, does it adjust in both directions? I.e. once you get to a certain level and are losing every game, does it get easier? I'd assume so, just throwing the idea out there!

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

Lots of great info in this thread about the feature:

The thread is about the PS3 version but the feature works the same in all 3 versions. Worth a read! Totally agree that it's a great feature.

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

I'm diving back in tonight.

Since it doesn't carry over with the cloud, I played 2 1/2 games last night as the AL All-Stars and promptly pounded The Cardinal's AA affiliate for a few hours. LOL!

I'm up to Veteran + now on both sides. That was fast.

Once I hit AS on both sides; Franchise here I come. LOL!

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

One game isn't even CLOSE to enough of a sample size to judge difficulty.

That said, Dynamic Difficulty is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Remember, it also introduces in-between levels into the mix, like Veteran+ or All-Star+, none of which are available for manual selection.

I've always had trouble "enjoying" a winning or losing streak, wondering in the back of my mind if I should really be playing a level up or down. All that stupid anxiety is out the window now. Game takes care of it. Good results so far, a couple games over .500 with the Mets in May.

Re: Dynamic Difficulty?

Absolutely, I used it exclusively on the ps3 version and will continue to use it on the ps4. The only annoyance I had was how difficult it could be for the level to drop once it went up. I wound up on All-Star+ pitching and it was too difficult for me, but yet it took probably 18-20 games for it to drop back to an acceptable level. I will just be more careful on the ps4 to make sure I am not going up too high in difficulty.
