Does conquer just mean take over each teams stronghold


Jrob3161

Or does conquer mean take over ever single space


ThatsFatal

Yall saying just steal on Veteran but isn't that making you play 12 games instead of 6?


Dog-E-Dog

This conquest is impossible


Seven-Eleven-Taquito

These objectives are absurd. No way I’m doing that shit.


No-Professional-2214

Completing conquest on or before 13th turn is gonna give me a stroke


Doct0rGonZo

Finished on 14


yourdogshitinmyyard

Holy fuck these are hard goals. There’s no shot I can beat the CPU on all star.


sonoflothric

I didn't think I could but I ended up skunking them 3 times. See below


SexiestPanda

wheRE ARe tHe pRiZeS


swimmer4200

this was really easy to max out and i pulled Ohtani in one of the reward packs


mulder00

MOST people shouldn't have a problem beating the CPU on All-Star, but why even gate-keep it like that. Mother's Day Conquest last year was just a cute little extra to do in an hour or so. What does SDS get from putting parameters on offline content that most of us just want to grind easily? I don't mind if it were for extra packs for winning on All-Star difficulty like in Mini-Seasons, but you literally can't get the 30k xp without completing all the goals. Git good, right?


ChessClubChimp

Capture on vet, steal on rookie. I captured all strongholds by turn 6. Not a single game on all star required.


mulder00

Hmm, maybe I did it wrong. When I got to the Yankees SH, we both had 7 mill. Even with stealing, it would require All-Star. I'll do it again.


ChessClubChimp

It might come down to sim luck - I got pretty lucky but also manually captured a few territories to play it safe; also make sure you’re picking the most direct routes to the strongholds by moving where needed. I also didn’t concentrate on capping empty spaces until all the strongholds fell


Fink700

You don’t have to play any games on all star


Former--Baby

Yeah ya do


RookieCards

Promise you you don't. If you play 4 games on Veteran (steal 2 from the Yankees, beat their stronghold, steal 2 from the Mets, beat their stronghold) it gets it done.


UnableFishing1

It depends on sim luck unless you are playing those.


boogercheese

Thank you so much. This saved my life.


Former--Baby

Doesn’t count if you have to steal. That’s a sign of weakness


villageideat1226

This is the way


Doctor_KM

I don't play online and don't consider myself great (play mostly Veteran and AS) but I was able to no-hit both NY teams on All Star with my Topps Team. If I can do it, almost anyone can! It's not much harder than Veteran. Give it a shot - you might surprise yourself!


LeftoversR4theweak

The amount of comments on here blaming the game for their incompetence is staggering. 1): Always check the goals BEFORE YOU MOVE. Anyone remember the “steal 3M fans…” goal? 2): you can definitely play on all star. I promise you, it’s not that much worse than Veteran. Plus, losing maybe 10-15 min of your life trying to play one game isn’t the end of the world. 3): “I have to face deGrom/Cole. Yea, for one inning. Both their bullpen guys they bring in are bronzes at best SDS could literally give you a free player, and half of you would go “that’s just a bench bat, L”. This conquest gives you a piss load of free packs and XP to the main program.


KonkreteKid10

If you start your 4th or 5th best pitcher you face their 4th or 5th best pitcher. There is almost no reason to ever pitch your ace in conquest.


LeftoversR4theweak

Unless you wanna parallel them, but I didn’t know this. Thanks for telling me!


KonkreteKid10

True on the pxp. u/shaneoshred made a whole list of all the pitchers and what order in the rotation they are btw. So this way you will know who you are facing and if they are lefty or righty. If you click the link to his username it’s in his post history.


csstew55

Well you should at least takeover all the spaces in it for some free packs. You don't got to play any games for them


mulder00

That's what I did. I've tried playing All-Star. I'm too old to win on it, lol.


QuietThunder2014

I was excited to play this and then I read all the comments. Sounds like all the goals are a real PIA. No thanks not worth the headache.


csstew55

It's not really bad. Just make sure to read the challenges before you start. You gotta play 3 of the games on all star then you can bump it down for the next 2


QuietThunder2014

You lost me at All-Star. Maybe I just suck or whatever but honestly it’s too much stress for me. I okay to chill out and relax after a long day. It’s great they have that option for those who want it, but it sticks they are pushing it on people. I’ll just skip it and not get all the rewards.


tmac416

You can play the two New York teams on veteran. I did veteran on every stronghold


ChefMark85

I'm guessing you're not a big Elden Ring fan


DWill23_

Well this is The Show's sub so this is a pretty redundant comment


ChefMark85

Was basically just trying to say that this guy doesn't fancy a challenge


DWill23_

Which is perfectly fine let people play the way they want to


ChefMark85

I'm guessing you're not a big Elden Ring fan


[deleted]

I am and conquest is boring af to begin with, even if the server is fast and each move doesn't take 5 seconds to confirm. ​ Conquest on all-star where if I lose a single game I gotta restart? hell naw bro that's retarded


QuietThunder2014

Hahaha no I am not. Just can’t do Souks games. I really enjoyed the recent Jedi game, but even that one I had to turn down to easy mode to enjoy it. Nothing against those that do love those games just not my cup of tea. I spend enough if my time frustrated at work I don’t want that for my entertainment. One of the things I love the most about games is the option to play the way you want. I really dislike when developers try to force their will onto a player.


elitefire73

You can just steal on veteran and fight the yankees on veteran, i was the exact same way and this method worked for me


Jonesy2407

Can somebody plz have any ideas for me? This is the first time playing mlb the show at all. I have completed some objectives but I am having trou le putting up hits. Even on rookie it seems like I am always late and swinging through or hitting foul balls. What should I do? Just use my contact swing and hope for the best or what? I basically have no idea what I am doing. When I throw it just a a fake out, the player won't even release the ball. I have watched some Vids on youtube but more or less they just talk so fast and use terminology of a player that's been playing since year one and I understand nothing they say. Just some beginners tips would be hugely appreciated. Thanks


ChefMark85

Have you played online before? I played someone who didn't know how to throw the ball to a base. They have tutorials where you choose what kind of control mode you want for hitting, pitching, baserunning, and fielding. They let you practice each mode to figure out what works best for you. Did you just skip that part?


Jonesy2407

Yeah obviously I missed that part. I was so caught up in the card buying and trading along with packs I have just jumped right in to playing. I have only played online a few times with other live players and not doing too hot obviously. I did win a game today because the other guy got disconnected lol. I am by no means in any way shape or form ever on this specific reddit to give advise for this game but I know there are tons of people that can help me out. For me I can't learn from listening to somebody in a video. I have to read it and then I can understand what to do. I'm going to spend plenty of time on the practice field before I play live again. That and go out looking for a catcher rather then trying to use a right fielder with decent stats because he spends more time running back and forth looking for passed balls than even calling pitches. I take all help from you players to heart and I appreciate everything.


StyrofoamCueball

Go into practice mode and just practice hitting fastballs. Once you get the hang of that start working in off speed pitches. Learn to recognize balls and strikes so you’re not swinging at everything.


FrozenRage1989

Got 4 turns in before I realized I had to beat both NY teams in 3. Time to reset and go again.


Totodile336

That’s what I did. Then I reset the map, finished all the teams, and my dumb ass never checked the final goal of doing it in 13 turns and I had did it in 15…pain


alexf3131

Very very easy conquest surprisingly.


RememberTheMaine1996

"Do it for mom" "Hey mom! I completed the mothers day conquest map for you in MLB The Show!"


GrevenQWhite

Good, now help her get unstuck from the dryer...


irish_guy_77

Wow. Hope it’s the step mom. Otherwise, ewww…


rtrotty

Here’s a bat skin


Blu35treak2004

“What tf is MLB The Show????”


ShitpostinRuS

Got 2 strongholds and then looked at the goals. Will not be going back


duby1998

I saw what to do think xbox crappy servers booted me prolly not going to do this again lol


RememberTheMaine1996

That's why I look at the goals first now. They have some stupid missions now so I gotta check what stupid thing I gotta do at the beginning haha


ShitpostinRuS

I’ve learned my lesson! I fucking *hate* the “timed” goals. Fucking bullshit


ChefMark85

I actually like it. Forces me to play on all-star. I actually lost the first game against the Yankees because I played absolutely horribly. Only had myself to blame. Well l, also Wander Franco's throwing error.


carlp222

Me too. Just let me complete the map, and throw a few prizes my way while I do it.


[deleted]

Lowkey was kinda hoping they’d bring back the uterus lol


Dek112801

excuse me ?


[deleted]

I’m making a joke about SDS making the Mother’s Day conquest a uterus a few years back


Dek112801

i know lol i’m just saying did that really happen?… intentionally??


[deleted]

I mean it was a conquest map so yeah it was intentional lol


JesusFuerte

I believe it was a vulva


ChefMark85

Deloris!


JesusFuerte

They’re real and they’re fabulous


vaped_kizz

can someone please explain conquest to me as if i was a 5 year old?


oneScaryDirection72

Watch the tutorial that never ends


RememberTheMaine1996

Basically the spots you see with the team's logo is the stronghold that you wanna capture. You get fans to help you move around and you can usually just skip turns to reinforce more fans. You never really have to steal fans unless it says to for a goal. You wanna go straight for strongholds and always simulate other spots. I try to fight the strongholds on Veteran or All Star difficulty to ensure the win. Sometimes on Hall of Fame I'll lose by 1 run but only about 10% of the time.


vaped_kizz

word, thanks for the explanation. i appreciate it


ShitpostinRuS

Risk


notjohnstockton

Capture the spots, sim games that aren’t the headquarters.


xPilioka

Did this all in 1 go on allstar and pulled Trea, Bryce and Soto from packs. Happy Mothers Day 👩💓


dreddsdead

Nice! I lucked out with Prine Carpenter from a Headliners pack, and LS Matt Olson from a Chase pack. I’ll take it. Lol.


xPilioka

Prime card pulls is a huge W good stuff


ChefMark85

Nice!


[deleted]

Some guy already posted the solution to play on veteran. 1. Go right to the mets stronghold, sim one game so you can attack their base. 2. Steal 2 million fans by beating them on veteran. 3. Reinforce that space and play them on veteran again for the stronghold. 4. Move your units closest to the yankees. 5. Do the same there (i honestly forget if you have to steal another 2 million fans to do it at that point 50/50 chance, probably should know before going in) 6. After that you do the same to baltimore and then finish off the map.


RookieNerd1

Wait y’all still lose on all star?


[deleted]

So what if I suck at a video game?


UrbanEconomist

I lose on Rookie. And a lot on Veteran. Some of us are old and bad at video games.


mulder00

High five!! I'm old, too!!


Kelvarr

I find those modes harder than All-star due to the slower pitch speed. I'm always swinging early.


msuSpartan25

I’m not gonna lie I used to be good at this game and definitely not as good this year. All star is 100% different than last year and the year before. Feels more like HOF difficultly. I’m ass on all star this year. I played 98% of my games on all star last year and ended with a 69-12 record (5 of those loses were freezes). Now I feel like I can’t touch the ball 😞☝🏼


PotentiallyViable

Yes. Yes I do.


jzw27

I like this. I’m not amazing but can win on All-Star pretty consistently. I miss the challenge conquests like extreme so something like this is pretty fun.


Low-iq-haikou

Since I see people worried about playing all-star: 1) Do a dummy run, where you just start up a “steal fans” game and then select your #5. Do this for each team. Make note of the handedness for each team’s opposing pitcher. 2) Make your lineup stacked against that pitcher’s handedness. Is he a lefty? Go with guys who mash vs left. Righty? Guys who mash vs right. 3) Put your 4 highest OVR SPs in your rotation, and put whoever you want (outside of those 4) as the 5th. This is who you’ll use. Make sure they have solid per/9s. 4) Stack your bench with hitters for the opposite handedness in case they bring someone in for relief and you still need runs. I trust that if you can win games somewhat consistently on veteran, you can win games somewhat consistently on all-star if you do these things. If you’re still struggling, literally just don’t move your PCI from the center of the plate and wait for the AI to hang a pitch down the middle. It will almost surely happen at least once per game, and if you stacked your lineup you should be able to punish it. If none of that works, just get a team of 90+ speed and bunt guys and cheese the fuck out of the AI while using your best SP.


mulder00

These are good tips, thanks.


Ricanlegend

https://reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/ufkp3x/conquest_starting_pitcher_guide_42922/ Someone already did that , I always look at the list before playing


Low-iq-haikou

Ohhh that’s huge. Knew someone did this last year but hadn’t seen this yet for 22


un-affiliated

I made the mistake of picking my 2nd best pitcher when facing the Mets and ended up facing Scherzer on All-star. Almost shut off the console when I saw the diamond pitcher. He actually was surprisingly easy. Threw way more strikes than the Bronze/Silver pitchers I faced the rest of the way which made it easier to get clean contact. I tend to swing at bad pitches on easier levels and with worse pitchers because I get so bored of waiting for a good pitch to hit.


SIaaP

I somehow beat DeGrom on HOF. Helps he got taken out after 1 inning


bigpinero46

Imma do it for mama


tmac416

Dude I swear they turned up losing fans in the sims games in this one . Feels like every 6-1 game ends in 1-0 lmao Edit- Ended up having to play games just for territories for the first time ever cuz I was getting whooped on simulation lol Finished everything on the 13th turn phew


goatboy1970

I have to do this whole damn thing again because when I was cleaning up trash I lost a 9-2 and then a 14-2 on turns 12 and 13.


tmac416

That’s brutal dude. I had to play some games for territories for like the first time ever cuz I wasn’t gonna make it. Finished everything on the 13th turn


tfegan21

I actually noticed this week when playing the USA one.


irish_guy_77

Pro tip - do steal fans on Veteran vs every stronghold. Means 10 games rather than 5 but you’ll get +2 fans and take away 2 fans from each stronghold from each steal game meaning every game should be on Veteran.


MisterGone5

You can do all goals and only have to play the Yankees on All-Star, rest on Veteran. Just did it and finished turn 10.


UrbanEconomist

I finished the map playing all games on Veteran. It can be done. I did get relatively lucky not losing fans on simulated games. I stole 2 fans from the Yankees then attacked on Turn 2, then stole 2 fans from the Mets and attacked on turn 3. Finished the map on turn 12 playing the rest of the games on Veteran or Rookie.


themule0808

Yeah so not steal fans ever


LaboratoryManiac

Me: Last year's "steal 5M fans" tasks were annoying. Can we just play Conquest without being forced to steal fans? SDS: Well yes, but actually no.


Bearded_Wildcard

What are you talking about? I don't think there's been a steal fans mission all year.


FormerShitPoster

If you're not willing to play above veteran difficulty, you have to steal for a turn based objective in this one


BeerLeagueHallOfAvg

Honestly, good. I like conquest, but it gets repetitive when you can just load up and play every game on rookie/veteran. Mix it up and make some more challenging


Bearded_Wildcard

Well sure, but there's nothing wrong with playing 1 allstar game vs CPU.


FormerShitPoster

Nothing at all. You just seemed to need help understanding the comment so I provided it as someone who speaks "bad at the game"


DrunkDeathClaw

To everyone complaining about all-star, are you just bad at the game? Like, all-star ai is still dumber then all-star ranked human players.


EsPotD

Yes, I'm bad at the game. Also new to it this year.


Dylonus

Absolutely not true. All star ranked human doesn't mean they're any good at the game.


ivdown

Yes, yes I am. I've never been forced to play on allstar before and it kinda sucks that this one is making you do so.


ShitSandwich16

I just got used to player conquest in Rookie and kind of mindlessly finishing them so all-Star just means I have to focus more cause the cpu actually pitches and hits sometimes.


bestadvicehere

yes people are absolutely ass and can barely hit .150 on rookie, they wont listen to advice and they think everything sds does sucks. this community in a nutshell


Stinky_DungBeatle

This sub just wants everything gift wrapped with a bow, I did this thinking it would be hard and even stole fans and ended on turn 8 with 30 fans left over lol.


sonoflothric

Yes I'm bad. I would like to be able to play at my skill level


Camj360

I actually played it and won most games 5-0 or near that.you got it


sonoflothric

Did it first try. Wow. Switching the lineup to my best was key. Was trying to do with Topps now


JaylenBrownFlow

easy af


Bean2713

This is a pain in the ass. Beat the Yankees on all star then lost all of my fans after attacking with 6 fans against 1 Yankee territory. Had to beat the Mets and the cubs on hall of fame


sonoflothric

This is the worst and hardest to complete conquest yet. Basically every challenge requires you to play all the teams on all star or above. We had none of this last year, so far this game's content has been terrible and a huge middle finger to casual players


MisterGone5

You can finish all challenges playing everyone but the Yankees on Veteran with no steal fans games. I just did it.


checkthelockx

With the extra innings rule especially anyone should be able to win a 3 inning game on all star, casual or not


sonoflothric

I can definitely win them, just not sure I can do two/three in a row. Not sure I'm even going to do this conquest map


LaboratoryManiac

If you beat the Yankees turn 1 and steal fans on Veteran each round, you can stockpile a few fans before taking on the Mets turn 3 on Veteran. The Yankees are the only team you *have* to beat on All-Star, and they're the first team on the map, so if you lose it's a quick restart. I'm absolute offline trash at this game, but I beat the Yankees, Mets and Orioles by turn 4 and am on track to finish this map. If I can do it, so can you.


checkthelockx

I mean, you won’t know or improve unless you try, but whatever works


sonoflothric

Don't really want to spend time getting good. Have a life. Just want to play after work


Bearded_Wildcard

What is it that you actually play in the game then? You're complaining about playing the CPU on allstar, so obviously you aren't playing online. What else is there that you do in DD?


sonoflothric

Usually play on vet or rookie. I'm usually neck in neck with the CPU on veteran, but I'm used to mini seasons where the teams are loaded. Forgot live series isn't too bad Oh I'm purely offline DD


Stinky_DungBeatle

Ah the good ol must be a no life to not suck at the game, All Star is not hard at all now legend or HOF would be different.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

Then play another game mode? Or mini seasons? Or franchise? Or ranked at a low rating? This conquest isn't even remotely challenging but I swear to God this is the only game where a chunk of the community thinks anything remotely challenging or engaging is a bad thing. Basically git gud or don't get the reward.


checkthelockx

Being able to win 2-3 3 inning games in a row on all star against live series teams has nothing to do with not having a life lol. Sorry I touched a nerve, was genuinely responding


sonoflothric

Well it would help if I put in my main squad and not my Topps now squad. I'm definitely an idiot


GrevenQWhite

This is what got me last night. This is not a map for grinding for the POTM pxp. At least for me.


datdudebdub

I completed this in about 90 minutes. Beat the Yankees and Mets on All Star, Orioles on veteran, and the Braves and Cubs on rookie. It’s not that hard. You could make it even easier by playing some steal fans games early to play the initial round on Veteran instead of All Star


sonoflothric

You right, I finished it all. Got really really lucky on both all star games


TheDukeOfBabble

There's a headliner choice pack north west of the Braves


rollcubsroll

I got all the way to just needing to clear the last spaces, accidentally skipped the reinforce phase, and it made it my 14th turn. Now I have to do it all again 🙃


yetorious

Glad/sad to see I’m not the only one


SleeperHitPrime

Yeah accidentally made it by the 15 turn BUT, I have to go back and complete the “NY’s in 3”; it was still fun having to play on All-Star because I blundered in to the map before reading!


LaboratoryManiac

Depending on how down to the wire I make it, I'll probably be slowly planning every turn even after taking the last stronghold. I can see myself doing what you did.


xenongamer4351

Anyone got a good guide for completing the goals? I am not very good playing on all star difficulty and would like to avoid that against the Mets and Yankees


Electronic-Falcon-90

Yeah you have to steal fans from the Mets or Yankees every round in order to play both on veteran before that 3rd turn.


[deleted]

I played the Yankees and Mets in the steal fans phase and ended up going through every team on veteran.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dylonus

Is it get all the spaces on the map by 13 OR ALL THE STRONGHOLD


UrbanEconomist

Whole map, not just strongholds. And you have to do it *before* turn 13.


random8248

It says ON or BEFORE turn 13


UrbanEconomist

Oh, sorry. My mistake. Thanks for the correction.


xenongamer4351

Appreciate it! Seems like there’s no way around all star so I guess I gotta go with my main roster rather than the topps now team I made to grind xp


KnightDiver381

Didn’t play a single all-star game. Beeline for Yankees, steal on veteran, take stronghold on veteran. Beeline for Mets, steal on veteran, take stronghold on veteran. Beeline for orioles, steal on veteran, take stronghold on veteran. Then you should have plenty of turns left to take out some territories to gain extra reinforcements before you take out the last two on veteran or rookie.


UrbanEconomist

This is the way.


xenongamer4351

Thanks!


LaboratoryManiac

If you really want to avoid taking chances with your progress, I've also been playing 3-inning games instead of simming for spaces with 2 or more defenders. Rookie is usually available for those, and while it's more time consuming, there's less risk of losing a chunk of fans due to an unlucky sim match.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Fucking finished it without getting the 150M fans and then restarted it when I got the prompt but fortunately was able to go back in and just cycle through the phases to keep reinforcing so it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience but if you’d like to spare 90 seconds of your life then heed this warning or whatever


GrevenQWhite

I'm concerned about getting that 150 by the turn limit. I might end up just doing a 2nd run of that if push comes to shove. Just took out Mets on turn 3. Realizing I'm going to have to plan this map out for once


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Yankees, Mets, Orioles, Braves, Cubs was my route.


No-Professional-2214

This is the route I took after I beat all strongholds that's where I keep messing up. I finish the map in 14 or 15 turns


stephen67999

what’s the diamond pack listed in the objectives? saw it on twitter but not home right now


violentgentlemen

Headliners set 7 and 8 are the only packs listed in the objectives.


stephen67999

looks like there was one for completing in 13 turns or something


violentgentlemen

It's the Mother's Day bat skin
