Which relievers have you guys been using for conquest extreme? I've been reading its best to use them for one or two batters the most.

I just went out and improved my bullpen depth for this very reason yesterday. Added Britton and Kahnle. The first two outs of every inning are seemingly pretty easy, but getting that 3rd our before being blooped to depth is quite hard.

My usual go-to has been Chad Green and Brad Hand, with my homeboy Fernando Rodney as the closer

I've been using Andrew Miller in every game and am yet to give up a run with him, but he's also very expensive. The only reason I have him is because I plan on completing the Indians set. For more realistic budget options:

Trevor Rosenthal
Kevin Siegrist
Joaquin Benoit (reward from regular conquest)
Drew Storen (early reward in conquest extreme)

I've had the most success with pitchers that have high H/9 & K/9 ratings, but keep an eye out for HR/9 as well. Conquest Extreme won't allow you to go undefeated, so have patience.

I just overhauled my bullpen because I think I'm gonna get a little serious with Extreme. I had some guys that were leftover from previous missions still hanging around, and I had Rookie Gossage trying to get his saves. Figured he's definitely not to be trusted with Extreme.

I have Chad Green, Edwin Diaz, BO Drew Storen and AS Lee Smith as my righties, and Justin Wilson (my weakest spot, but I pitch well with him), BO Mike Dunn and PS David Price as my lefties. Dunn just came up clutch in a Legend steal vs. Detroit after Storen fell victim to some CPU shenanigans and almost blew a 2-run lead.

I haven't pitched with Diaz yet, but he has the Road Warrior quirk, so I figure that can't hurt in these games. That's one thing to look out for, both that, and the Day/Night player quirks. You can pick when you play, and you're always gonna be on the road, so utilize them advantages. I should just go ahead and get Hader to replace Wilson, but like I said, I pitch ok with him, so he'll do for now.

My bullpen is one of the things I usually build out first, especially since I always knock out everything Conquest related when I first get the game. I'm working on Conquest Extreme right now (60% complete) and here's my current bullpen.

Right-handers:
Ken Giles
Raisel Iglesias
Edwin Diaz
Dellin Betances

Left-handers:
Josh Hader
Zach Britton
Felipe Rivero

I just unlocked Rookie Chris Sale and I have Andrew Miller, but I need one more elite lefty reliever. Has anyone used the Rookie Billy Wagner you get by completing 10% of his Immortal epic?
