Tap Ball

Same with lugash ... But I see something that might explain it.

Click that soccer ball icon next to the Bart/Milhouse button.

Select the stopwatch.

Scroll through those prizes ... It looks like (and I have NO IDEA if this is the full story!) Those characters get "released" with the daily task completion system.

But Crazy Cat Lady isn't until, like, the 20th day. I see Tatum, Comic Book Guy, Lugash, Crazy Cat Lady, and Milhouse in there.

That might not be the only way, but it explains the characters I'm not able to task.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping there's some mechanism this time to help our neighbors.

And I thought someone mentioned community prizes? Did I miss something or did I imagine that?

Spanser said there would be community prizes, but I think it may be too early to see them unless you used donuts to rush through the quest. I'm hoping the community prizes unlock with friend visits perhaps.

Very confused but it may just take time.

The 4 hour tasks are going to be a pain. The actual game is fun though.

Purely a guess as I'm not there yet, but on the main tap ball screen, the flag for me currently says 'single player'

Does yours possibly also say 'trash a neighbour' (or something like that ;) )

Now it only says "challenge random player" (i supose the other option disappeared for the mission) and it sends me to a random springfield. And for Now Im unable to challenge a friend from my list, even those with fields.

The big problem is that as it is i cant progress the mission...

They may have to finish another task or game or whatever. I didn't get the "fans" in my town until I finished a number of steps. Short steps, but maybe the neighbor just isn't quite there?

Did you try Other Springfield?

I haven't talked tten to the visiting stage yet (not sure what triggers it ... ). So maybe there's a certain point they haven't reached yet?

I'm using the same strategy as the Terwilliger event--upgrade players, then save for prizes. You still get items for loses and ties.

It is nice that your players can still play Tap Ball while out working on other tasks.

Same problem... and other springfield doesnt have a soccerfield... so what to do...

My questline keeps stalling...all my players were free and I wasn't getting a prompt so I thought that was it. Just put all my lyp on 4 hour tasks. Now reading the walkthrough it appears that I was supposed to continue? I'm thinking something's not going as planned.

I was having the same problem (unable to play tap ball) with random towns. Just keep scrolling through the towns until you find one with a checkered flag on the field, then you can challenge them to tap ball.

I always feel lost when an event first hits. Then i come to the forum....see that i'm not theonly one and feel better..lol. once i read posts here the events usually starts to make more sense:)
