EVERY Player of the Week Box, especially when Prime POTW are added with stupid odds.
4/13/21: Money Grab Flamethrowers box. Oh man. Beyond lame and the main prize is another 300 pitcher. Worst off, a 4 in 1000 chance to pull the guy. I've gotten 8 free boxes, all have been the lowest prize available. This is another one for the suckers.
4/14/21: LOL The Right Stuff - Just horrid. Top "prizes": ANOTHER Pitcher, especially after yesterday's cash grab, AND another 2B with garbage skills to go with foil 2B Ozzie Albies. Seriously, what is the point of this other than to hope the TH box is something decent. Another one for the suckers.
4/20/21: The Price is Right! - Another relief pitcher, along with two garbage pitchers. As if you needed more of those. Added to make stupid bonus sets that only the addicts will buy. Also added as "prizes" in the EB event, which is pointless at gold or below.
4/21/21: Not JOC BS: Another pitcher, and another RH C that has the same skill set as a top player offered this past weekend (Cabrera). Great work, GLU!
4/22/21: Cueto Boxes: Another pitcher with two garbage relievers that are needed for the event today. At this point of the year, you should have enough pitchers to staff four lineups. This is greed beyond greed now. You literally HAVE to be stupid to keep buying this stuff.
4/23/21: Both boxes are HOT GARBAGE. Garbage players with garbage skill combos. The Foil player is another RHB 3B with RISP/Runners On. The rest of the trash isn't worth summarizing. More UP/Down 3 runs combos with other garbage. What a joke this game is so far in 2021. No reason at all to open the game this weekend due to third weekend with no double gold.
4/23/21: "Bonus" Purchase Player: Another RH Catcher with garbage skills. This is the third RH C with garbage skills offered since last weekend. Oh, and this one is just $15!
4/28/21: Welp, just as we figured, this new "boxes on Monday will have bonus players for a week!" approach was a lie. Garbage boxes again on Tuesdays with garbage pitchers, and now we get the "Superheros" Box on Wednesday with nothing but players at repeat positions that have ONE skill. Oh, and a whopping 3% chance to pull them. Each new bonus set requires one of these horrible players. Also this week, you need three guys at 1B too. Got to hand it to Glu. They are geniuses at figuring out how to get the hopeless addicts to keep paying up more and more each week.
4/29/21: Calling it now. Garbage box of Superhero Pitchers. As if we needed more of those. OK I was wrong. There are TWO boxes today, one of which requires $60 to acquire a pitcher (DeGrom) and the other has pitchers and a SS with the useless LHP skill. This new "week of bonus players" boxes was another lie by GLU. Two boxes of players Monday, one more Tuesday, one Wednesday, and now TWO more TH on top of the POTW box. Even more players than before. Yikes.
5/9/21: I missed a couple last week, but GLU definitely outdid themselves with the much anticipated POTM boxes. Six players with garbage skills, with three of them being below the current curve. Oh, and the chances of landing them are MUCH lower than years past too. The greed is beyond shameless. Keep buying, addicts. It will only get worse.
5/10/21: Special Ops boxes. More like Special Ed boxes. The new non-foil players are another OF and SS, with the worst skills imaginable. The WoH "Prize" is a nerfed player with crappy skills too. Really no reason to play the game at all today unless you need resources.
5/11/21: The Wild Bunch. Need another relief pitcher? How about more 4 star hitters? LOLOLOL
5/12/21: High Heat box. Goodness it is getting worse. Top players offered are another P and Reliever, with yet another RH catcher mixed in to go with Foil Verdugo and a Foil Pitcher. So between the extra boxes yesterday, POTM boxes, POTW boxes and the trash today, there are about 6 pitchers for this one event. Yet the addicts will keep spending so this garbage will only be set on fire soon enough. What a joke this game has become.
Week of 6/7/21: With the Rainbow Brigade fully in control of every aspect of this game, GLU is still requiring everyone pay for PxP in order to keep up with the Joneses. Once again, we get the 2 box Monday that stays good for a week, but the players suck minus one, a Double RH Prime that is the hardest to pull. No worries, this skill set just means another bump is coming likely this weekend. Oh, have I mentioned still no PxP to be had outside some scraps here and there? Worst resource squeeze so far in the history of the game.
6/8/21: See page three of this thread. Easily one of the worst of the year. Another Prime Pitcher that is nearly impossible to pull. Oh, did I mention there are still only scraps of PxP available?
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

It’s a shame potw is not what it used to be... years ago you could land a potw and be set for the week Tuesday through Thursday. You really didn’t need to chase other players but back then there weren’t new boxes daily and sets. Always looked forward to the potw box would check mlb.com and see who won then decide if they benefited my team and if they didn’t I’d buyem anyway lol to contribute.
