Slugfest Event

astrosbaseball2016

Has anyone won Giancarlo yet? I'm sure a few have... Just if you're curious on who all the guys you have to face on level 6 is and their stats.
1-Jose Abreu - 88
2-Brian Dozier - 83
3-David Ortiz - 90
4-Adam Jones - 88
5-Bryce Harper - 98
6-Manny Machado - 91
7-Anthony Rizzo - 91
8- Bryce Harper - 98
9- Mike Trout - 94
10- Paul Goldschmidt - 98

And if you're wondering, once you win... The prize gets replaced with a silver slugger pick.

I won him; it was actually pretty fun. I thought it was weird that you face Harper twice in Level 6.

Impressive, I can't get past level 2. I hate that the glitter falls from the top of screen when you hit a bomb, it is very distracting when trying to focus on the next pitch. Why not wait until game is completed before doing this, makes no sense to me. Perhaps it is intentional to make it more difficult IDK.

I won Gianca. I had to be extremely focused on not missing a single homer in any round. I guess it was worth it?

When you win Level 6, does it unlock anything else? I was hoping to see some rewards that actually influence the real game, instead of stuff that only goes back into HR Derbies (especially with how bad the Prime Event rewards have been).

If you can't work your way up to winning gold or legends in the HR Derby events, I'm not going to waste my time or money.

Annoys me as well. Distracting and unnecessary.

I'm being a smart ***, but why didn't they light off fireworks in center field while the players were participating in the All Star home run derby? Hmmm, I wonder.

This is either intentional to distract us (customers) or there is a total disconnect with product management/developers and consumer. It is something I might see in a Disney game/app for children.

Remove the glitter/graffiti. Total waste of developers time to include this.

It resets to level 1 and you can earn all tiers again. Except for tier 6 which becomes a silver slugger pick.

The "glitter" is whenever one of the players takes the lead from the other one, so if you get off to a big lead early you won't have to deal with it. I agree that it's annoying and sometimes causes just enough lag to throw me off.

Has anyone tried to play through a second time. Wondering if the t6 would be better a 3rs time through. As with fan rewards it was a prime then a 5* then another prime.

Never mind just answered my own question. It doesn't get better after the 2nd time! Still a silver pick. Worth it to know! Lol

Not the event... But in a battle, the lag between scores is annoying. It's always 1-3 pitches behind... I wonder if this is what they changed from the original derby? I didn't play it the first couple of days. But having a 5 second delay would make it easier on the servers.
