Dynamic Difficulty

[bscbears99]

Hi guys,

Are many using this difficulty or just setting it to Veteran, All Star etc...I am not scoring at all so I was thinking of trying it. But my problem is I don't want to be starting a Franchise, have it start out at Rookie and be scoring 10-15 runs a game. Then when it gets bumped up have the run totals drop because I am not hitting again. Maybe I am reading too much into it.....

I am using it this year. It gives you much greater flexibility as there are more steps to the progression and you can slow down or even lock the progression altogether when you find you've hit your sweet spot.

Right now on my RTTS player I have it locked at Veteran +. If an when I start killing it at that level I will just unlock the progression and let it bump to the next level after that.

so with this are you leaving the sliders at default then as its more customizing your game experience or am I not understanding this whole thing....sorry I go as far back as the intelevision baseball days of a pitcher, and outfielder and an infielder

I have not touched a slider except the one that allow you to set the speed of progression when using Dynamic Difficulty.

Dynamic Difficulty will start you off at Rookie level. If you consistently hit at that level it will move it up to Rookie + (which is not a level you can get to any other way). If you do poorly there it will start moving back towards rookie. It does all this without you needing to change anything. Just play.

The game should eventually find what it thinks is the proper difficulty for you. You can override this though by going into your sliders and moving the Dynamic Difficulty slider all the way to the left. It will lock the difficulty at your current level and will not move it anymore unless you reset the slider.

Is dynamic difficulty something that automatically runs in the background, or is it something that you have to manually set/enable?

I transferred my franchise over from 14 and I haven't noticed the difficulty settings change from where I had them set.

It's an actual difficulty level for both hitting and pitching.

You select it in the same place as you would Veteran/AS/HOF/etc.

One worry i have about this feature, which might not be a big deal at all is, what if I'm a really good team, like the nationals for example, just striking out guys, crushing the ball and all that. The difficulty goes up, and then I play the worst team in the league, are they going to play me like all stars?

Where as if i set it to All-Star or whatever, every team would kinda play the same, instead of bad teams getting "boosts" because I've been playing well lately. I hope this makes sense haha
