At the end of TSB ‘18, I was excited about the chance to start over in ‘19 and build up a great WOH lineup. That was just my preference. I went Diamond too early in ‘18 and could never catch up. In ‘19, I played it smart. I went Diamond fairly quickly, but I was ready for it. I regularly cycle cap the HOF rewards on Monday’s, if the player was worth the time and effort. I accomplished my goal, but what did that leave me? I have spent enough money on ‘19 alone to buy 3-4 sets of really nice golf clubs and a yearly membership to a really nice course. I enjoyed the ride though, but now I’m sitting on some really nice Keepers to move forward to ‘20. At what cost though? What is my goal this year? I feel I would have more fun playing golf everyday or at least much more frequently than playing this game. Towards the end of ‘18, there was excitement to move to ‘19. I’m not getting that same feeling at the end this year. This could be because of some of the changes made to the game, or it could be that I accomplished the goals I had set for myself. In the end, I still felt an emptiness, like there was something else I could accomplish, but outside of spending every minute of everyday cycling D6, or spending thousands of more dollars, I’ll never win a VIP gauntlet event or Place first in every Cooperstown bracket event. So maybe it is time to hang up the cleats (thumb cushion) and move on. In the mean time, if I do download ‘19, I have a dilemma on my two hitting Keepers. I’ve got 600 Brett or Cruz (both double vs RHP) and Wagner or Cabrera ( both double vs RHP). What are your thoughts? About all the issues, not just the Keepers. Thanks.

Visual representation of what I could have done with the money I spent on tsb19. Spent probably 3-4,000 hours easily on this game as well. I enjoy your questions here as I personally know I need to stop playing. Outside of this past weekend's royale, I've spent very little time (and money) playing 19/20 and I feel better. I'm on the edge of deleting 19/20/line and just moving on, but I haven't been able to help myself and make that move yet.
Tl;dr: yes, I think you would have a better time playing golf more often rather than this game, and that sounds like a healthier option. *Screams for help are muted*
here is where I am at currently and this is only a fraction of my thoughts.
I flip flop back on forth on whether I want to play the 2020 version. As much as I want to say that I’m just going to play casually, it’s either I’m in or I’m not. If I play, I know I’ll spend. I’ve already spent way more money on this game than I’d ever thought was possible for a mobile app game.
I also will definitely go about 2020 at a much more casual pace. Trying to repeatedly get jailed to kick this habit but will see if that works.
As mad as I am at myself, you guys are making me feel much better. I didn't do 1/4 of the damage you did in terms of spending money. I know I farmed probably 300K in gold since I started, but I do that during the day while I'm working. Really easy to do.
In terms of breaking a habit, you guys are on the right track. First step is gaining perspective!!
Yes, we are aware of the game having crashing issues in the middle of WoH, but we can't compensate you for the gold you lost at this time. This is done on a case by case basis. - TSB Customer Service
I came back, committed to F2P, and jumped from gold straight to diamond. 2 months back, and not a penny spent, and I am actually having fun again. If the community dies, the game dies, at least for me.
@retirepujols, @criffy, @ShoveItUpYoenis2, and others, I hope you guys can find the fun again, and come back more casually. That has worked for me.
Wish you both the best
