Current Tap Ball event tsto(Unfair pick for player characters)

Overall I'm enjoying this event.

My "take" on this topic is that there are too few characters involved in tap ball as it is now. The superheroes event included pretty much ALL characters (to earn event currency etc) and I honedtly prefer that model. Restricting the event to just a few makes it less fun imho.

People who have played longer and/or spent donuts obviously have (ad should have) an advantage, that's fine.

That said, I think the mechanics of the event, including aforementioned premium advantage, would still work (and be more fun) if ALL characters were included.

No! Nononononono! The Terwilliger event included almost all the characters and it was awful! 9 is just fine! (The Superheros event didn't include that many characters, so I think you're thinking of the Terwilliger one)

Nice to have a mini event to keep you interested in playing but, this event is just pointless anyway. It doesn't matter if you have premium characters etc. I've been playing for several years now and spend donuts I earn rather than pay. That aside, when you choose to play against another team, you are always going to choose a team you are going to beat or likely to beat. If you are 3-Star for example, you are going to play a 3-star or less team to win. I play against team that have premium character outfits and still win because I focused on my 4 starting players. Again because I choose teams on par with what I have. I have yet to go into my Springfield and seen my team beat any other team for the same reason. My neighbors are picking me because they are going to beat me. That is actually an advantage I assume because the more teams that can beat you, the more likely you will be chosen and I am unsure but, you get some currency even for losing.

As to finishing the event, I am ahead of schedule without trying overly hard and I don't visit neighbors for 3 points each. A complete waste of time. Just relax and enjoy, there is nothing in this even that is a must have what-so-ever. It is right up there with being as pointless as the clash of clans thing they did and I still think that area is an eyesore in my Springfield.

I don't care about getting the skins as prizes, they shall sit in my inventory, no biggie. What I am confused about is I see crazy cat lady and that other gym guy as prizes, now are these skins too or are actual premium player? Cause Those two appear as they look in the store, they aren't in a special skin..... So if we do have the chance to win two premium players I think that's freegan fantastic but how does it affect you if you already have those two premium characters?

it unlocks their ability to play in the game, just like ned, but you still need the character

Lugash and CCL are the first no-prizes

Yeah, I was able to figure it out a bit ago. That blows lol but I do have CCL on my premium board so cool.

My thing is I have 23 premium characters from


1.Bumblebee man
2.Plopper
3.Petroleus Rex
4.Utter
5.Otto
6.Side show Mel
7.Squeky voiced teen
8.Duff man
9.Under dunk terwilliger
10.Mutant rabbit
11.Francesca terwilliger
12.space mutant
13.Hans moleman
14.hank Scorpio

Plus more and even holiday event characters.

Just not the exact ones they using.

So it just annoys me that they couldn't have done a bigger roster like say once you chose a certain amount
Of players the players for the event would be locked. That would include unlock-able characters and or premium characters and skins chosen via ea for the event.

Meaning I would say buy Bart Simpsons skin as it comes with a premium character I thinks cool. But I wouldn't have to buy crazy cat lady yet or drederick Tatum until later if I decided I wanted to. Ea would still get their money. People could use who they wanted as there would be more to choose from. More animations with different characters for funny scenes.

It all boils down to EA is just lazy and somewhat unimaginative.

I'm sorry but with what they make and what die hard loyal TSTO fans give them they could take a little more time to have animated more players. Just saying as a gamer and amateur game designer.


The more you offer fans the better. That way it also attracts more gamers.


I also carry freemium players on my back as well lol. They make great accessories.


Too bad hank Scorpio didn't have a role I'm sure it wouldn't have been this on the field.

Lets be honest Hank Scorpio and his flamethrower would fit in any event from Christmas to Smokey the Bears "How to prevent Forest fires" seminar

I think they've done an even spread, both in timing & freemium/premium:

Personal Prizes - 1x premium character skin, but 3x freemium skins (spaced out as 1 per Act)
Daily Tasks - 1x premium skin, 1x freemium skin, 1x "returning" freemium skin (so something new for everyone).
Premium Purchases - 1x premium skin per Act (plus new character for Act 2).

TOTAL = 7 new +1 returning freemium skins;
2 "free" premium + 3 "purchase premium skins, +1 new character

Only thing I dislike is the small payout of Amateur Bucks per character/Tap Ball game.
Apparently the currency quantity dropped by fans will increase as we get to other Acts, so hopefully the flow of Amateur Bucks will increase as well!!

i think it's very fair

if I buy a premium character it should serve use at every event and not just by earning a few extra bucks
I mean, Jimbo and Blue Haired Lawyer are super expensive! come on
