  • I’m saving up my gold to spend on a 625 pitcher (keeper). Nothing else I need or want unless an ATG falls into my lap. 
  • Oh yeah, right, forgot about Mantle because he’s the one ATG outfielder I didn’t luck into. I have Joe, Babe, Ted and Hank. 
  • Yeah, same with Schmidt. I like the true old timers more. Eddie Mathews would have been better than Schmidt, Ernie Banks over Cal, etc.   And where are Mantle and Mays?
  • Sorry doc, you lost all credibility with me when you spent a year saying you would never go diamond...immediately followed by you posting about how great diamond life is. You’re in a timeout! 
  • Is carryover of Stadium gold a possibility? Because at this point that might be the only thing that brings me over to 2021. It’s just getting harder and harder to farm gold (in terms of being motivated to tap BGs or watch ads). A free gold supply is…
  • It all kind of boils down to pull rates and sets. Low box odds and requiring more and more players to complete sets is how Glu made money this year. That is what escalated the playing costs most. Everything else is a matter of opinion, whether you l…

  • I pulled Schmidt and I was only sorta kinda excited. That LHP skill stinks. Would have been an ideal player to give a double fire skill.

  • It seems a little soon for another bump but it’s the end of the year, so you never know. You are right the skills are getting better, which is typically a sure sign of an impending bump. 
  • This really screwed me over. I spent a bunch of gold to finally complete a badge set I didn’t have, and then they got the results wrong. I checked last night and Bob Dawson didn’t finish first.  Really annoying.

  • I have a feeling Eddie Mathews will be an ATG this year. I don't see him in collections so he has not been released this year, although he’s been in the game in the past. And they’ve never had a 3b ATG, to my memory. Eddie is the sensible choice, wi…
  • If I could get the player on every cycle I would probably go Diamond tomorrow. But as it is I will continue to stick at Plat 10.  A guy like McGriff has very little interest for me at Platinum, but if I could cycle cap him to Diamond 10, I’d be all …
  • The auto tappers drive me nuts. Then again, if I had Android, I’d probably go diamond and utilize an auto tapper to cycle D6 as much as humanly (or inhumanly) possible. So I understand why they do it. 
  • Three Jackie’s!  I’d take one!  Pulled Boggs from Fan Rewards after spending 2500. Crazy how random this game can be. 
  • I contacted CS and they got it to me. Not until after they accused me of operating two different accounts on my device (which I don’t do), but I did receive the gift after contacting them. 
  • The overwhelming thing this year is that the cost to compete has skyrocketed. I am frugal by nature, and I spend a lot of time in the app to offset the need to spend real money. Even so, I spent more this year than ever before.  I’ve said it many ti…
  • I could see him being double ROB. That was Babe’s skill set last year. 
  • I do a ton of HR battles and I’ve never seen this. Although earlier this week I crushed one and the round ended with me seeming to have missed a HR. Maybe that’s what happened. Huh. 
  • I don’t think condemning a virulent racist requires much of a compass. I don’t know enough about Cobb to say what he was or wasn’t, I’m just saying that Glu can skip ATGs or legends with a racist past. 
  • It was a struggle to get motivated to play today. Honestly, if they just threw an ATG chance box out there, instead of a useless “legend,” I’d be interested. Make it .3% odds if you must, ATG or some form of XP. Why would Glu care? It’s the end of t…
  • I’m kinda glad the event sucks. Makes it easier to ignore the game aside from maybe some light video watching. 
  • Meh. It’s just casino-like behavior, trying to draw people in and preying on their worst instincts. That was my only point. Of course we all have choices. Doesn’t mean it’s right to try to draw people in on a day when they should be focusing on…
  • I know it’s a business, but encouraging more play on Christmas Eve and day is pretty gross. I hope people, even the addicts, take it easy and enjoy the holidays. The WOH reward player would have to be something pretty good for me to even consider sp…
  • Spent 23K gold, which i know is a drop in the bucket to most of you.  Lieberthal and that's it.  I don't even need an ATG outfielder--I have three!  Couldn't resist chasing those skills on Cobb. 
  • I’m also platinum and prefer it to gold. Granted, with WOH more of a challenge now than it was when I went platinum, it won’t be as easy. But as others have said, just marshal your resources carefully. Sometimes leveling guys up from scratch in a .3…
  • I think the problem is that my team definitely IS good enough to cycle. I have 7 capped 550 players, almost all of them equipped with WOH X factors. My two closers are Ruth and Teddy with 20/20 skills. That is definitely good enough. I’m not go…
  • Man, it’s really tough today. I refuse to pay for boosts or restarts, and I’m platinum, so those are my disclosures. I’ve tried level 5 about 30 times and can’t do it. 20/20 Ted, 20/20 Babe, both with good X factors, can’t beat 5.9 and 5.10. It’s re…
  • It is definitely more difficult, even Royale WOH required restarts on Rollie a few times.  I still think the main problem is that the reward player is so bad; the inability to cycle cap and the ridiculous reward tiers (15 cycles for a measly 37K lxp…
  • I used to do 25 cycles but the increased difficulty makes each cycle just a liiiiitle bit harder, and that’s enough to push me away from it completely. I may or may not finish 3 for the legend. But since he’s a tier 3 player at best, even that’s not…
  • Never seen a legend in the player shop, but I did fill up my relief core with 460+ primes thanks to the shop. I think a 460 prime is best I’ve seen in the shop. 
  • Keeper Bench has the same power as Teddy and DiMaggio, that’s certainly better than I expected.
