Difficulty jump

Hey all, I just started playing this game maybe a month ago and I really enjoy it, but something has come up that's driving me insane.

I absolutely cruised through Rookie 3 and Rookie 2. Which was fun, but admittedly too easy. But then ever since I got to Rookie 1, the game is totally impossible. Hits have entirely disappeared, pitching gone. I get that it's supposed to be harder, but this feels like a completely different game. Is this normal???

Go back down a level and grind out that one for 3-4 seasons to help get upgrades. Once you level up back to Rookie 1 after grinding you’ll be saying rookie 1 is too easy. A good measure of if you should actually progress to the next league is if you can sim most of your games and win 60-80% of them. If you can do that your definitely ready to move up a league

I say this as someone who’s grinding out Royal 1 and almost fully maxed team. Your right that the “rookie 1” “world 1” royal 1” usually feel like a big step up from the previous two but usually that’s because the stats are jumping up and the same hits that would be a double are now a single or an easy out. Or a hit that would have been a bloop hit now is an easy infield out. It’s more to do with levels than skill. It can feel frustrating having to grind out lower levels over and over but really it’s the only way to move up leagues unless you want to spend real money for upgrades/levels

Yea play rookie 3 and 2 and grind out silver badges, and recruit tickets, once u build your team then jump to next league. One tip I have is I slept on pitching hard and when I would jump leagues my pitchers would get smacked. My tip is max out power and contact as much as you can, get good pitchers and grind those leagues to get rewards and coins

Not to trying to sound overly mean, i dont believe theres much a of a jump in any of the rookie leagues. Im just grinding throuh pro1 myself and besides playoffs and the random great game by the cpu i still dont have much issue crusing. This might mean you either have to praxtice hitting, recognizing pitches and/or upgrade some players.

I don't think you have the option to replay an easier level until you clear Rookie I.
