My understanding is that while leadoff shows as being active, @DFBB switched his custom legend from double late to double leadoff, and promptly experienced a significant regression in performance. This led him to believe that leadoff is not actually active in WOH.
Not sure if this is supposed to be a preview of the weekend box, but if it is, then they picked a good weekend to institute the cool down timer because I couldn’t care less about anyone in that box.
@Bigburg I like where your head is at, but unfortunately that doesn't help with CVC (one of the primary detriments, IMO, to being blocked from joining a club for 12 hours). A new club will be bronze and have terrible CVC rewards.
The bigger problem, in my opinion, is that the game is already struggling to maintain the interest of the high level players who probably drive a substantial portion of Glu’s revenue off this game. The top guys in most player boxes are trash with ridiculous skills. CVC rewards haven’t changed in ages. The reward players…
The problem is that if you leave your club with the intent of jointing a discount club, you have to wait 12 hours before you can join that club, missing all of the CVC events during that 12-hour window. Then, after finally getting into the discount club to level your new player and then leaving, you have to wait another…
What this also means is that, if you care about competing in the weekend event, you'd better join that club before CVC ends tomorrow. If you wait until after CVC ends to leave whatever club you are using tomorrow, you will be effectively shut out of the weekend event (at least as far as obtaining any rewards).
Personally, I don't think anything changes once the round starts. I believe that the pitch sequence is set the moment you hit play, with each "at bat" predetermined to result in either hittable pitches or unhittable pitches. I think that which of those two you get for each "at bat" is determined by a RNG based on…
After taking yesterday off and thoroughly enjoying the lack of a cycle cap grind, it may take nothing short of a lefty with double-WOH relevant skills to draw me back into cycle capping. I think I've had it with righties and lefties with on base, blowout or any of the new skills.
After remembering how good it feels to not worry about committing every spare second to trying to complete a cycle cap, I can't even bring myself to cycle for LXP. I beat it once just to do it, and I simply cannot summon the will to start over and do it again without the prospect of a useful D.10 player as a light at the…
Man, I forgot how liberating it is not to be worrying all day on Mondays about needing to hurry through the next cycle to ensure I finish the cycle cap. Not sure Glu really wants me to remember how nice this feels.
Max 520 Eddie Mathews (LHB, but skills are vs. RHP and on base) was the top box prize the weekend before last. Not a HOF reward, I know, but a lot of people chased him.
It's just so hard to stay excited about this game when the top level prize of every box and every WOH is basically the same guy: a RHB with 2 of the following skills: vs LHP, blowout, on base, close. And in all likelihood, he probably plays 1B, 3B or SS. Meh.
As crappy as the boxes are, I did pull this in one from the VIP gift. Too bad I just leveled 490 Bill Buckner at 1B a couple of weeks ago. I would never have expected him to have a blowout skill. Oh wait, Glu puts that skill on every legend right now, never mind.
