Upgrades are a waste

xixsidesxix

FYI: no matter how much you upgrade your team upgrades it won’t help your matchups. Save your gold!

TyroneEastwood

Who are you? And why would we assume an account with 3 posts has any credibility? 

Bigpredfan

Also, why are you spending gold on team upgrades?  Unless you are at 84 or higher, that’s all cash for me

xixsidesxix

Because I have a private line chat with Dkarski and CheaterTyrone. Two smartest guys to ever download the game.

TyroneEastwood

😂

TyroneEastwood

On a serious note. He's correct. Spend 300k gold on upgrades for literally no performance. It's bullshit tbh. Still lose to teams 70k lower

xixsidesxix

@Bigpredfan yes I’m speaking about upgrades above 84.

In years past there was a noticeable difference in CvC, but that was about it. I tested this a little last year, when I refused to raise my team upgrades past 10 because of the major blue cash shortage of 2019 (will be remembered and told to great great great grandchildren). At some point I was diamond and still had them at 10, had loads of cash from hoarding it, and in one fell swoop I pushed them all from 10 to around 70. Zero noticeable difference.

So yeah, I can totally buy this.

Undoubtedly work for cvc. Definitely  not events

But hey. All the power to glu. They have a system where we dump gold/bcash into upgrades that do nothing. And we all do it 

Edit: and pitcher skills 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

It makes my TS go up by like 15 points. Who wouldn’t do that!

Well, that sucks. I just got 1,000 pennants from my fan "rewards" box

Yeah they never changed the 1 I had already pulled. So I had to go through again

In 20 that Clutch Performance upgrade made a big difference in WOH for me at Diamond. I was struggling and after I took it to 84 I almost never needed to replay a level.

they at they are just to good to us @TyroneEastwood

I have believed in them less and less by the year.   I am at the point where I think hitting coach matters and not a ton else.    Although maybe I should rephrase that a little.   The cost to upgrade compared to what they actually give you back I dont think its worth it for the average player.
This year I may not be the best person to test since I am only a gold team but I have zero for clutch and I clear WOH with no issues

This is 100% my feeling. I will always go go 84/100 but won’t spend gold beyond the cash to level them. In my 5 years playing I love never gone over that and I’ve never really struggled much at diamond with woh etc. It takes so much gold to compete daily that I can’t justify the 68k gold per upgrade to cap them anyway. I don’t fault anyone for doing it but I just don’t think the return is ever there for me on the cost. I can stay top 150 in WR as is and I won’t ever be competing for a higher ranking so the trade off for the cost just isn’t there for me.

If you take Hitting coach 84-100+ trainer, we shouldn't have to even wonder  lol. It should be 100% noticeable

absolutely agree.   The gold it costs to get you there should be very noticeable and I dont think it is.   Its for sure not something I would recommend for most players

DFBB

If you invested/capped upgrades in years past and didn't do it this year, all the power to you. 

xixsidesxix

@DFBB so you agree they are worthless?

Right how much is 68K gold worth?   To about 99.9% of players a lot so in terms of what it makes sense to spend your gold on, I wouldn't prioritize it

TyroneEastwood

It's a bigger issue and needs more attention than it's getting.  In the community  it's a running joke that they dont work. So why  is it a feature? Blatant robbery tbh. 

TyroneEastwood

The player base deserves an explanation

I believe in the basic ones. I'll have the ones that are important(to me) capped in a few weeks.

I think the same could be said for pennants, upgrades, and pitcher skills.

Pennants definitely help. I will  say that. I've logged it. And I know @DFBB has too

dkarski87

Why would they do that though cubbies? We all dump resources and money into upgrades that MAY OR MAY NOT even do anything.  Did you see that 600bg special they threw at us yesterday. Thats is the biggest troll job I have ever seen in my life. They handicapped so many players, cant win a fuk1n game, but hey dont worry... Just buy more bgs and keep playing, you will win 1/10 games. Fukk outta here.

It seems like they keep most things under lock and key because they turn the levers on and off for different reasons. If we knew how the hamburger was made in every area, we'd know what they did and when they did it. In legal terms, There has to be a law for something to be against it. So if there's no law, they're not doing anything wrong, in their estimation. The less they reveal, the less we know. 

TyroneEastwood

This is the one game I play that I would never recommend to anyone 😂

I think pennants help, but I don't fast play because I'd rather allocate my gold towards upgrades. In regards to 'wasting gold,' I will say this: I never feel like crap when I spend gold on upgrades. I've lost count on how often I felt like puking after a chase gone wrong(way more often that I'd like to admit).
