Worst event ever

I disagree.

OP, you must've missed out of the fun of Easter '14.

I love the event and there wasn't even a days worth of crashes, its probably the fastest patch they ever sent out. And if you consider this a filler event I can't imagine what you would consider a big event. There is only two things I would change about this event:
1. They should have gave away all the pin pals, Apu looks weird on his own.
2. They should have gave away a new character for free, but I haven't seen spoilers so it could still happen.

I don't "love" this event but it's not been too bad. I have looked ahead at the spoilers. As a fairly new mostly Freemium player (I've played a couple of golden scratchers), my biggest complaint is the event here in the early days is severely skewed toward the established premium player.

1. I still have my original 4 players that can play. The next 3 players that most people get all require doughnuts to fully use (Premium Nelson skin, and Free skins for premium Jasper and Tatum). The only extra tap ball player a freemium player gets in act 1 is the skin for Burns. The last of the Foam Finger prizes. You don't get a complete 2nd team until almost the end of act 2.

2. Having only played a few months, I don't have KBBL radio or any of the old skins long time players have been using to boost their AB's.

I'm not looking for EA to handout everything. But, a couple of tweaks would have made the early days of the event better for the newer/freemium players.

1. Added a second "free" tap ball player to Act 1 even if you cannibalized them from a later act so by the end of the all 3 acts we are in the same place.

2. Adding an event to Channel 6 to earn Bucks AB's.

I'm sure some people bought the truck for this event. (Only 45 donuts)

I bought my first boatload for my A-town. :) Certainly makes it play different than my freemium B-town. :wink:

I think we all missed out on any kind of fun in that one... :wink:

I think the stadium lights are the best decoration we have had for a while. They rotate all four ways and when you turn the lights on they stay on until you turn them off (unlike a certain flaccid flag). They would be great for an Area 51 or Close Encounters scene. These make up for some underwhelming aspects (for me) and if I can't grind up enough amateur bucks to get another three of them I will classify this event as much worse than Easter.

I disagree! :shock: My game isn't crashing and I'm having great fun playing! :-)

I started right before Easter '14 and played so much I was getting on every few hours even while sleeping or working. It was awful. I missed so many prizes despite playing the event to the fullest extent a freemium player could play. Every event since has been better. Is this sports event my favorite? No. Is it the worst ever? Not by a long shot. It's been one of the easiest to understand and play right away. The prizes are mediocre right now for freemium players, but they may get better as the event progresses. I haven't looked ahead so I don't know, but generally as the event progresses so do the prizes. Finally, this event doesn't require hoarding resources or losing sleep to play every few hours just to complete it.

While it's not my favorite so far, it's far from the worst event ever.

I think the mechanics of the event (other than the crashes) are some of the best designed ever. IMO, the event is fun and easy to understand. If anything, I might actually prefer a more detailed, complicated event.

I do, however, feel like it has the most lackluster prizes of any event I've played.
