Same. I read somewhere else -- maybe a post by @retirepujols ? -- that the spending had to occur in a short window of time to qualify. Maybe that's the issue?
Ugh. Was cruising along using these charts, then ran into a couple soft-tossing jerks who derailed me late in round 3. My lineup is heavier in terms of the best bats being righties, so I'm having trouble deciding in some matchups whether I'd be better off (for example) using a 199 Beatty or a 210 Realmuto against a righty.
Platinum 1 here. I can usually get through the first round of HOF and about half of the second round, then get stuck. I think I've only gotten past the second round once.
The cash costs for those upgrades isn't terrible, at least compared to the gold costs to do it. I have the power upgrade at 101% so the next upgrade is 68000, but that kind of cash seems to come in fairly quickly from bonus games, CVC matches, etc.
Guh. I found this looking for a list of the impossible achievement totals needed because I suddenly had an 800 gold reward for hitting the "impossible" gold buying limit. Just did the math after reading Josh's April 19 message. I've bought 41,900 gold?! Yikes.
