Not too early with an ATG pitcher, although you never know. Totally agree on keeper relievers. Not worth it. They just don’t pitch enough. Made the same mistake.
I’ve mostly stayed away from Moments just as a way to save money (one less thing to spend on). But as a Moments newbie, I have a dumb question. The Moments boosts only apply to players on that team, right? So if I have the Scherzer moment, it only works for my Dodger batters?
I know it is trite to complain about WOH, but jeez, is a 440 prime the best they can do? If 520 legends are at the curve, then we have 500 legends, then keepers/POTWs/POTMs, then 480 legends, then 460 primes, then 450 primes…I mean, Glu can’t give us a better reward than a player 6 levels below the curve? Six???
The problem is people will buy them. So nothing changes. I’m just waiting for a third skill to pay for, or a Y factor, or whatever the next money sucking idea they come up with will be.
So has Glu just given up on the pickem feature? I started playing late this year and have had no chance to hit the worthwhile badge sets…very frustrating.
I spent about 8k, and pulled Cease, Waino, Abreu and Dalbec. Wasn’t worth it to me to spend more chasing Cron, Ray and the others. Pretty happy with the haul. No repulls of anyone, though.
Pitchers have always been a vanity project, mostly good for building TS and little else. My prime Gilbert with skills leveled modestly has a .06 ERA. Would a legend with maxed skills benefit me in any way? Marginally, I guess, but no material impact. Now, should pitcher skills work if we’re paying for them? Sure, but I…
I mean it was clear you were not going to get to keep Clark (which you knew given that you took the precaution of screenshotting everything), but minimum should be that you get all your resources back.
Although once baseball season ends, the boxes tend to be a little kinder. I can’t remember if the odds improved but if not, my luck miraculously improved once the World Series was over.
I’m in the same place. In the past three years or so of serious playing, I have never missed a level of legend—I have always had at least one at every level released (from 480 to 610). 480 in TSB21 seems likely to be my first miss. The odds are just so brutal this year.
I’m with you. The 100k guarantee isn’t for me but why shouldn’t it be there for those who do spend that much? It’s ridiculous not to have it, let alone to have it and then take it away. Getting the same players over and over is already killing the fun of opening boxes, they should at least give us some light at the end of…
Last year I hit Ted Williams on the pity timer (third time through), so I usually end up convincing myself that it’s going to happen again. Of course, it never does.
Have no desire to get back to the top if it requires me to grind videos, spend cash, or both, all to accumulate 100k every weekend. I eased off the gas pedal in TSB21 and still find ways to enjoy it, without needing to be on 15 hours a day and dropping coin to compete. It is interesting that 100k is now seen as the norm. I…
This thread is just a reminder to me that I’m not a whale, which I guess is something my wife and kids will appreciate. I’ve been playing this game for 5 years and I don’t think I have ever spent 100k gold in a single weekend. They could make the guarantee 1m gold for all I care. A 480 legend is going to be mostly…
I haven’t played much this year and have been on the boards even less. But, nice to see that Doc is still saying he’s going to quit. I’m pretty sure I saw the exact same message last year, yet here we are. I’m no better than most of you, because I am still playing, albeit not really spending. But this entire thread is…
All signs point to an event tomorrow, if not all of next week. With TSB21 not even available (via conventional means) in the US yet, I doubt everyone will be up and running for a Monday event in the new version.
I still think the double vRHP is the best skill in the game for keepers. Lots of people hating on it but it plays well in almost every event. There are just so many RHPs. For me, if I decide today, I think my keepers are Snow, Yogi, Verlander (somehow my only 610 starting pitcher) and Gagne. But ATGs Cal, Aaron and Ted are…
Are we pretty sure at this stage that there won’t be a bump past 610? Seems like it (especially because the March 2020 counter only goes to 14) but trying to ration out my remaining gold.
It’s really too soon to think about keepers, because even ATGs shift in value when the ratings bump happens. As an example, Babe used to have the best power in the game, but now he’s behind the curve. Some of the early ATGs seem to have high speed now, which diminish their value relative to other players who will be…
