Small sample size study:
I have been using guys with first pitch skill (usually at 8/20) and purposefully taking a pitch in WOH that appears to be hittable to deliberately turn the first pitch skill off (maybe 20 or so times so far).
I have yet t…
I can piss and moan with the best of everyone but does this really make that big of a difference in WOH?
Think about it. Your opportunity or lack thereof is already determined before the first pitch. Your first pitch (if a strike) is either hittabl…
3 dumb noob questions for a guy who has been playing for 3 years:
1) If I leave my club for a 30%, will the points I've put up already this weekend still count toward our club total? Don't want to screw my club over on points.
2) Is there a cooldo…
It's actually bases loaded, not bases empty, which is even worse.
Still a great improvement for a WOH reward but yeah the bases loaded skill is one of the worst in the game. I wouldn't invest in it at all beyond maybe the cash upgrade to it.
Certainly, trade them in. They're not doing you any good sitting inactive. Reuse of bonus players is too rare to even bother holding onto these guys.
The only exception I would make is for former Players of the Week should they be reactivated again…
this was 5-3. I hit every ball square out in the power alley. Should I beat my head into a wall trying to pass this? Pay 100 gold every single round for a boost every time that may or may not even be enough difference to pass a single round?
Or cal…
I've been banging the "get rid of Prime sprint games" drum for a long time, so I am happy to see this. Or at least reduce it to 1 day a week max, excluding Royale.
Slugfest is a fine event and I hope it is back to stay. It just needs some pretty s…
Platinum really is a good spot this year. I was Platinum for maybe a week last year, it was nothing more than a Diamond gateway.
This year it has a lot of advantages. Easier cycling than Gold, better play in games, winnable season modes, expe…
I read on Facebook people were having a ton of trouble beating Clevinger today. Olson still took him out 13-9 with only a video boost without being retired once.
Cycled 5 times against Greinke without him even recording a 2nd out on me, and then just like that it's like a switch was flipped and now I've lost to him 12 times in a row without even coming close. The kicker is the guy I'm using actually had lowe…
@Metsicans
Great question.
I have three theories about why, which could be anywhere from mostly true, to some truth, to not true at all.
1) WOH is not particularly profitable, and it was narrowing the gap between the F2P players, and the VIP/s…
There's nothing wrong with your team strength, it's quite good. You could go Platinum but it probably won't be much different. Unfortunately there isn't much to that you can or should be doing differently. The mechanics of the event have simply chan…
Nope. Can't be done to my knowledge. I've had some fly balls that were deep enough to at least be trying to score the winning run in that situation, but of course my GLU controlled excuse of a 3rd base coach will physically restrain the runner at 3r…
It's quite obvious by now that they have decided that they do not want WOH to be the central focus of this game anymore.
It's still a great tool for building resources, but as far as being excited on Monday morning to find out who the top level re…
It feels like everything in the game this year is designed to work against you. You can't win games so you get pushed up levels early by design. Then you get pushed back on higher levels now after a short amount of games thus losing the benefit of m…
The "just manually play your games!" advice is hilarious. Buddy, no one sitting at Platinum or Diamond is playing this game to manually play 5 or 10 games a day nor are they sticking around if that's what is needed to win games.
I am at Platinum an…
I'm trying to be as fair and impartial about this as possible, so I'll talk about the 2 good things first. 1) Target Bash is a lot of fun, and 2) Slugfest is somewhat relevant again -- eliminating the Slugfest roster and using 1 roster was a good an…
So they all suck. Yes, I agree.
I guess my point was that the WOH rewards are even worse than they appear on the surface when the prizes are 85-85-85 type players when there are 90-110-1 or so four star players that can be pulled from a 2nd round …
Segura is a redundant position with an absurdly high speed rating, making him a very bad value. It's an awful reward for the top tower, which is a very difficult experience without spending a good deal on gold.
Help me understand why they have tak…
Couldn't beat 5-10 before the deadline, just missed continuing again. I love how they're happy to still take your 480 gold for the continue after the deadline but won't let you play it after the deadline.
Here's the image I was greeted with immediately after hitting a walkoff HR to beat 4-9 and advance to 4-10, thus of course not actually advancing to 4-10 but starting again from the bottom after already dropping 500 gold to even get to that point.
