Hey there Linebackers!
With the Football Challenge Event in full swing within our silly lil games, I wanted to focus again on another area in the Event Area in the Right Center of our Quahogs. This is the Scoreboard.
The Scoreboard is where you will earn Materials to “Win Games” and be able to unlock Characters/Costumes for the Event.
Let’s take a closer look at the Scoreboard.
Some of this information I had already clarified in a few other posts, but wanted to place it all here with a bit more details.
SCOREBOARD
When you tap on the Scoreboard, you will see a few different things.
- It will tell you what Game you are currently on
- What, if any, Games you “Win”
- The Character/Costumes you can earn by winning X amount Games
You can also get to this information by using the Touchdown/Football Icons on your game screen.
HOW CAN I TELL WHAT GAME I AM ON?
When you first tap on the Scoreboard, just take a look to the Left Side. You can see what Game # you are currently on, and if any, Games you did Win.
As you Win each game, the next one will unlock up until the last one available for the current Phase (Game 3 for Phase 1).
HOW CAN I SEE WHAT I WILL NEED TO WIN A GAME?
Just tap on that Game # and you will be taken to a pop up letting you know the Current Game Running, the Requirements to Win that Game, and how many Material(s) you currently have collected for the Requirements. You can also see the Clam Buy Out option to just complete the game.
WHY CAN I ONLY COMPLETE 3 GAMES?
Each Event is released in “Phases”. This means that once a week, usually Thursdays, new content will unlock or be introduced into the Event until the End of the Event.
For Phase 1, ONLY 3 Games can be completed. More will be made available when Phase 2 hits Thursday, January 28th.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 3 GAMES?
Here are the Requirements I see in my game. Let us know if yours varies.
GAME 1: Practice!
1 Footballs/Touchdowns: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
GAME 2: London Silly Nannies
21 Helmets (Uncommon): Quagmire Throw a Short Pass OR Jerome Throw a Short Pass OR Tom Brady Make a Perfect Throw OR Chris Tackle Dummies
2 Footballs/Touchdowns: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
14 Weights (Common): Progress Down Football Field OR Football Jersey Chris Practice Blocking OR Richard Sherman (Once unlocked after winning 3 Games)
GAME 3: Melbourne Platypuses
40 Face Grease (Common): Annoying Super Fan
31 Playbook (ALWAYS): Complete Requirements on Football Field
3 Footballs/Touchdowns: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
21 Weights (Common): Progress Down Football Field OR Football Jersey Chris Practice Blocking OR Richard Sherman (Once unlocked after winning 3 Games)
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WIN?
The Pop Up for this just went active, so some of you may just be seeing these now.
When you get all the requirements needed for a Game in the Scoreboard, you will now see a Pop Up like this on the screen.
Then in the Scoreboard, the Game you just won will turn into the Win Icon and the next Game will unlock for you (up to Game 3 in Phase 1).
IF I USE MATERIALS FOR GAMES, DO I LOSE THEM?
YES! If you use a Material for one item/location in the game, it will subtract them from the overall totals. So if you use Helmets you have saved up for a Game Win, you will then see the counts go down for … let’s say Rob Gronkowski… or vice versa.
A lot of these Materials are used for MANY things… so watch where and when you use them and choose wisely.
Here are some examples of the multiple places a Material is used as of Phase 1/Week 1.
Helmets Needed For: Football Field Requirements AND Games AND Football Jersey Chris AND Rob Gronkowski
Weights Needed For: Games AND Rob Gronkowski
Face Grease Needed For: Football Jersey Chris AND Football Field Requirements AND Games
Playbook Needed For: Football Jersey Chris AND Games
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WIN ALL 3 GAMES?
After you have Won Games 1, 2, and 3… you can now collect the Character awarded for Winning 3 Games, Richard Sherman. You will notice instead of saying “LOCKED”, he will now have in information icon next to him. Tapping on the Icon will start the process to pull him into your game. For the Full Details on this, go to his Profile HERE!
There you are, the Basics for the Scoreboard for Phase 1 of the Event.
How far are you in the Games? How is your Material collection coming? Does this help to give you an idea what to look forward to? Have you unlocked Richard yet? If so, what do you think of him so far? Let us know.

I know you aren’t probably aware of it, but on my freemium account the drops have been increased to 3 playbooks and 3 weights for each first down, and it is back down to 2 2 hour tasks instead of mixing in the 4 hour ones. On this account i dont have sherman. On the account that i have sherman there was no changes.

Can someone kindly clarify:
I’m on game 2 and at the end of the field but I don’t yet have all the items to win the game – the weights. Do I have to have all the weights and then complete the last stage on the field or can I finish on the field and then continue to collect weights?
What I’m asking is whether you have to have all the items to win the game before you get to the end of the field for a game?
Thanks!

The Field and the Scoreboard are independent of one another. You can repeatedly go down the Field as many times as you want, the only impact it has is the items you earn. So go down the Field as much as you want and need to. 🙂

I don’t know if someone said this before.. But tonight I was almost completing my 2nd game, i was only 1 helmet left. But then I got tired of waiting for the 2 hours tasks so I chose the option “Skip Something” where you have to pay clams to go on. I paid 5 clams so I could win the game. But then, when I went to see what I needed for Game 3, I saw that I still had my 2 touchdowns and a lot of weights. So I figured that because I skipped the last stuff needed, I could keep the other stuff that was needed to win game 2. Don’t know if it made any sense and don’t know if it is a glitch or something. But right now it is a tip for those who are still behind on the game.

13 playbooks and 10 weights away from finishing game #3. The drops are way too low or the requirements are way too high. There is only one task for weights (Chris) and playing games on the occasion that they actually drop…same for the playbooks. I really hope that they increase the drops with other characters getting involved. I have 2 more workout meals to drop for Gronk…which is weird cause they haven’t dropped the last few times with Lois or Meg. Overall, this is a long time to get what you need to “progress”. I have spent clams on Brady and Aaron Rodgers building….which I normally don’t do and it is still taking me this long to progress.
LikeLike
I am apparently being offered the option to “Skip” a requirement (4 helmets) to advance down the field. I am currently 60 yards out, working on game 3. The screen shows I have 3/4 helmets, with a SKIP>>| button… Any advice on whether this is a good idea? Is there a downside? Cost? I am hesitant to tap it, without knowing the consequences…
LikeLike
I finally tapped on it. 🙂 It offered to skip the requirement for the cost of “% 1 %” Clams… (Yes, the percent signs were there, where the number of clams should have shown.) Below that line, there was a “10” showing, which I guess was the cost of skipping the requirement. I decided not to take the offer, anyway, and waited to collect the extra helmet instead. (Presumably the % 1 % was a programming glitch, as that looks like a commonly used variable place holder.)
LikeLike
Standard option in the game, essentially “spend clams to finish the task faster”. I always recommend to NEVER do this unless it is down to the wire and you have decided that the cost of clams lost to you personally will be worth it to you.

I want to use clams to finish game 3 and advance. When I go to do this, it gives me the option to “skip” the game instead. If I do this will it still count as a “win” for me? I don’t want to miss getting Bonnie!

Same thing… you will use Clams to “skip” to the end and complete it.

Does anyone else get the 8 hour task (the 1 that earns weights) for football chris to advance down the field? The 2 hour tasks, with good drops, are just enough to make getting Sherman plausible. Im working on game 3 and I have everything exceptnthe playbooks. The only reason I have the weights is because Im waiting to get Gronk. I’ll admit, I’ve used about 50 clams to speed up some tasks (mostly the 8 hour task to advance down the field )
LikeLike
Hmm I have to eat my words. Earlier this week I replied to a similar thread that so far I didn’t have the eight hour task come up at all. Now it has hit me three times in a row, and always with the four hour bucket on head task inbetween. This has slowed me down quite considerably, unfortunately. But that’s the odds of tasks coming up I guess, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t – just soldier on through, I’m sure it’s gonna get better again 😉
LikeLike
Same boat. Progressing has come to a complete halt. The worse part is the 8 hour task has yet to pay off with a weight.
You would think in a football game, scoring the touchdowns would be the most important task. Instead, it’s waiting to collect enough weights that only pay off one every other first down.
LikeLike
Ive got bad luck or something. My next set ws the 8 hour task for Chris and the 4 hour task for chris lol, so I couldnt even do them at the same time. Ill be lucky if I get sherman by the end of the event lol

Im on game 3. Have already scored 3 touchdowns and have the 3 footballs but still need 9 playbooks and 6 weights.
Im at the 40 yard line for my 4th touchdown. Is this normal? Would I assume it will take 5 touchdowns to complete game 3?
Thanks

That’s impossible to say as it all depends on the payouts you get and your personal results from game play

Stupidly, the only way to get playbooks is through progressing downfield. I’m on game 3 and working on my 5th touchdown and only have 5/31. Weights are a little better as I have 12/21. At this rate, I will have to progress downfield like 4 more times before I will have enough playbooks to finish. Should be at least 1 character that helps you get playbooks.

More may come along in Phase 2. Just gotta wait n see. 🙂

I hope so, I’m humping and still need a lot of play books. I have everything else because I didn’t get Gronkowski yet or I would be behind on the weights also. So long story short, the play books are the Achilles heel. I only have 11/31. Ugh. Having fun tho…
LikeLike
I hope so but because I need to wait, I will be behind in starting Phase 2 which more then likely take me out of the running for anything in Phase 3 (assuming there is a phase 3). Shades of the Christmas/New Year’s event all over again.

Not necessarily. Sometimes being behind lets you see what others failed at and succeeded at so you can better plan a strategy to move forward more smoothly. 🙂

Is anyone else having difficulties with the Face Paint as well? I started Game 3 with about 15 Face Paints, but then because my game has been requiring me to “Use” 4 Face Paints to progress down the field, I’ve now found myself down to -2 of them. (Negative because my current task requires 4 more and I don’t have enough.) At the current rate, I don’t know how I’m supposed to reach 40 of them while still having to score extra touchdowns to earn Weights and Playbooks.
LikeLike
Strange because the pitch progression tasks don’t ‘use up’ items, they only require you to collect them. I’m already way over the forty that I need to complete game three but I’m still short on playbooks and weights because playbooks didn’t drop before starting game three…
LikeLike
No, my game definitely distinguishes between “Collect” Helmets/Face Paint, which only require the act of gaining the item and “Use” them, which tells you how many you need and has a button to click to “Use” the Helmets/Face Paint. Collect tasks have a “Go” button which take you to a character or Fan to perform the action and complete once you perform the tasks. The Use tasks indicate how many of the item you have, how many you require and the button is used to “spend” your items.

Man, even with purchasing Tom Brady, I’m still behind, just started game 3 last night, used weights for Gronk thinking he would help (nope! Completely useless thus far!), and then had to build them back up to finish game 2, and Chris was *not* cooperating on that matter (failing more than succeeding on a common item is just the game trolling me). Don’t think I’ll gather all 34 (!!) playbooks and 21 (!!) more weights by the time the next update drops. Sucks to be behind…

You didn’t mention, but which would you prioritize in the game, getting Gronk or winning the Silly Ninny game? I was shocked to see that they all use helmets and none stack on top of each other. It took me forever to get the helmets to open Chris.

Are you premium or freemium player? That’s so awesome! Any hints on how to progress quickly? Did you get Football Chris or Gronk yet?

I only use Clams on Premium Characters/Outfits, otherwise I get everything else freemium, but the premium characters do help with unlocking things slightly quicker. I just seem to get really lucky on drop rates, and for the first 5 touchdowns I got them from around the 50 yard line, again through luck but I haven’t got anymore this way since. I got Chris unlocked on Sunday night, and Gronk on Monday afternoon, I do get to check on my game every 2 hours, apart from at nights when I sleep. So basically it’s mostly down to just luck.

I’ve hit a wall in the game. I used up my helmets to get Gronk, so I have zippy for my third trip down the field. Every time I get a first down, I need to use helmets. 4 at 80 yards, 3 at 70 yards and now back to 4 for 60 yards. You need another 21 to win game 2. Considering it took me three days to get the 25 for Gronk, I feel confident I will be lucky to get Sherman at this rate.
We need more people dropping stuff.

Are we still supposed to be receiving Playbooks for moving down field? I haven’t received one since unlocking Football Jersey Chris. I know we need them to finish game 3 (I’m on game 2).

Weights are no longer listed as dropping for “progressing downfield” for me, only through Chris’s 8 hour action… which is annoying since I just bought Gronk and used up like 14 of them that way. So in other words, if it is a permanent change, it just set me back 5 days.
