Exactly. They control the car sales lot as well as every gas station. You're paying, one way or another. I've got Ohtani up to S5 now. Should be able to start on Arenado right about the time he isn't one of the best in the game anymore.
I don't think this theory is far off the truth. In this case, consider "f2p" one bucket, and "paying" another bucket. Those buckets represent groups of users, and they could be segmented out in whatever fashion the game decides. The odds they're required to post speak to a global population, but they can achieve the…
Yeah, @2020KC I'm already facing the steepest part of the Ohtani-to-S10 mountain. We're retaining our rights to Arenado and just letting him play in independent leagues for a few months while I save to level him.
At least you can beat walk-off, @JEDDDOGGY. I put 40g into 5.9 and lost in two pitches. WARM-UP. It doesn't even pay out anything, I just want to win for once. I'm nowhere close to where you guys are, but my team is pretty solid, considering I haven't spent anything. I wouldn't think it'd take substantially more than I…
I felt I was getting more players than I'm used to, but this weekend, I got Ohtani right away, then Ruiz, but after that, I ran the counter pretty close to the top, then got Fowler like 7 times. Seems rough seas are ahead for me. To that end, I agree w/ @sullipa8 in that I always seem to get certain things in batches.…
One thing that gets overlooked in this conversation is people said the same stuff three years ago. Without hard data and knowing the financial goals Glu has set, I have no idea whether these strategies are working or they aren't. Logically, they wouldn't have spent to make the enhancements they have (and there are been…
You're making my big win seem far less fun, @JEDDDOGGY @CanadaCubs. I was thinking it was just Glu's way of joining the AAPI woke train. Seems they're sending a different message making me incapable of getting him above B3 (he's 3-19 with 1 double so far 😕).
I was in the process of starting a thread on this because I wasn't sure if I just didn't notice it before. It'd be nice to be able to bank some ahead of time in order to make more reasoned decisions on leveling players but that wouldn't doesn't fit Glu's Modus Operandi.
You also need to factor in that not everyone playing the game weighs in the way we are here. There very well could be a silent majority who think the game is fine, and spend to their addicted mind's content. And "lip service" works with what you initially said. "Lipstick on a pig" also works but in a different way.
(Tapping nose and pointing at @dkarski87) For the record, I'm not aiming to insult anyone selected for the council. I'm just adding some thought in an effort to deflate the idea it's some kind of action-taking advisory board (and being a light-hearted smarta$$). There are very smart people here who are dedicated to the…
Which part? Clearly, those involved spent a lot on the game. I feel it's good PR to give those spenders something extra. I don't think a group put together under those pretenses should be seen as governing bodies of the game.
Yeah, but they have to pass the hat around to get anything major accomplished. Here, passing the hat around means people are paying the game while still complaining about it. Texas and Florida State wouldn't go through a head coach every two years if donors weren't paying their buyouts. Ultimately, it's not a perfect…
That was my point (with exaggeration for effect and humor). Their way of sending complaints down a bottomless pit of IDGAF. Well-played, Glu, you sonsabiches...I shall continue to blame @DFBB.
Not sure why the council thing is brought up as often as it is. Does the platinum donors club at the University of Alabama report back to the big fan web site to go over the game strategies they wanted incorporated? No, they probably had a weekend of booze and swag, got to talk to the AD, maybe the head coach, who gave…
