Hey there Foam Fingers!
With the Football Challenge Event Phase 2 now in our games, I wanted to focus again on 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.
For more information on the Scoreboard for Phase 1, go HERE.
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 6 for Phase 2).
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 6 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: Games 1, 2, & 3 can be completed.
- For Phase 2: Games 4, 5, & 6 can be completed.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 3 GAMES IN PHASE 2?
Here are the Requirements I see in my game. Let us know if yours varies.
Game 4: Tacoma Coffee Cups
7 Pom Poms (Always): Cowboy Astronaut Millionaire Peter OR Football Field
2 Touchdown/Footballs: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
Game 5: Barcelona Dancing Football Babies
15 Energy Drink (Common): Richard Sherman Show Off His Moves OR Fit Brian Carbo Load
8 Pom Poms (Always): Cowboy Astronaut Millionaire Peter OR Football Field (doesn’t show them with Icon, but I see them there listed when playing the Field)
3 Touchdown/Footballs: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
Game 6: Frankfurt Fanged Ferrets
22 Energy Drink (Common): Richard Sherman Show Off His Moves OR Fit Brian Carbo Load
12 Gloves (Common): Clear Football Player OR Cam Newton Dance in the End Zone
10 Pom Poms (Always): Cowboy Astronaut Millionaire Peter OR Football Field (doesn’t show them with Icon, but I see them there listed when playing the Field)
3 Touchdown/Footballs: Reach End of Football Field (Always) OR Progress Down Football Field (Rare to Extra Rare)
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WIN?
Phase 2 is a little different when you win a Game. After completing all the Requirements for a Game, you will see a Pop Up stating you won an Awesome Prize.
Tapping on “SWEET!” will Award you that Awesome Prize, but just what is it? The Trophies for the Teams from each of your wins for Games 4-6. (You can purchase the Trophies from Phase 1 in your menu for Coins.)
Tacoma Coffee Cups
Barcelona Babies
Frankfurt Ferrets
You will still see the “All You Do Is Win” 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 6 in Phase 2).
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 Gloves you have saved up for a Game Win, you will then see the counts go down for … Fit Brian… 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 2/Week 2.
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 AND Fit Brian
Playbook Needed For: Football Jersey Chris AND Games
12 Gloves Needed for: Fit Brian AND Games AND Football Field Requirements
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WIN ALL 6 GAMES?
After you have Won Games 1 thru 6… you can now collect the Character awarded for Winning 6 Games, Cheerleader Bonnie. You will notice instead of saying “LOCKED”, she will now have in information icon next to her. Tapping on the Icon will start the process to pull her into your game. For the Full Details on this, go to her Profile HERE!
There you are, the Basics for the Scoreboard for Phase 2 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 Cheerleader Bonnie yet? If so, what do you think of her so far? Let us know.

I’m happy they fixed the drops however how can you be happy overall? If they had fixed this a week ago or the drops were like this frm start of event it would have been possible for everything to be done. So what’s happened is they let you catch up to game 5 in one day but then the only person that can drop an energy drink is Richard Sherman after 10hrs……… cus why would you have Brian if the gloves and jerseys weren’t dropping properly, and in that time to advance down the field you’ve had to use up face creams that you had so even if everything else is complete for him face creams are way down for him and still gloves away. And since I said to myself 15 drinks till the 11th is impossible then I looked ahead and you need 21 to just get Bonnie there’s 0 upon 0 chance of getting Bonnie yet alone Jesus skin

But you also have to look at the way this game has ALWAYS been made. It is not like other games where everything is set day one and does not change. Like I told another commentor, it is a “step” method. Everything comes in steps, so the game is always changing and adding along the way. It is how they work. It is not something Players are used to, but it is TinyCo’s method.
Just keep playing at a pace that fits you and see where it takes you. If you focus on the lil things like trying to figure out how to get to the end with stats today, you will go insane… as… like I said… the game is ever changing. Keeps you on your toes. It has nothing to do with “dropping properly”, they are dropping as intended… as the game house intends them. The way they had worked it out of how to “phase” items into the game play throughout the Event. It is IMPOSSIBLE to say what you “can or can’t” get based on today’s drops as tomorrow they may change again.
If this kind of Play is not for you, this game may not be for you as it will ALWAYS be this way. Steps and Phases every time. NOTHING is able to plan ahead for. Honestly. 😉

Probably end up on WTD, just messaged Tiny Co, because the supposedly common Energy Drink from Fit Brian task has only dropped 1 out of 4 times. I fully expect them to tell me that it is working as planned.
Sigh…
LikeLike
Yes, please let them know (another reason I did the poll)… but the drops itself have been changing too so let me know if you see a difference.
LikeLike
Yep, and I did the poll already (yeah me!). The reply I got was similar to others. It’s working exactly like we intend (25% drop rate for a common?). Even if the drop rate is 75% for a common (which seems to be my overall average), the odds of 3 failed drops in a row is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 or 1 in 64. Sure it’s possible, but they tell me that they changed things so that your odds go up if you don’t get something after a certain number of tries.
Got to tell you, I am well-versed in graduate level statistics. If you want to increase the rate of something (that is working properly) you change the percentage. You DON’T need to redesign the whole mechanism – unless something is not working right.
I asked them for the percentage rates for each level. I will be surprised if they tell me.
LikeLike
the people who reply to emails likely won’t know the actual percentages. they are not the developer, they only field the grunt from players 😉 that’s why customer service rep is a pretty tough job, you are basically being moaned at every single day and most of the time you don’t even know the reasons behind it 😉

I messaged them this morning about the same thing and got the response you were expecting. Drops have been better today, since they literally could not be worse than yesterday (0 for 5) but I’m still a long ways off from fishing game 5. The new character drops will help, a little.

I’m curious if items such as gloves and Pom poms earned in excess carry over to the total of the next game? For example: I have earned at least 4 pom poms over the required 8 to win game 5, so will these extra Pom poms count towards the total requirements needed for game 6? Also, I as I am still stuck on game 4 bc of lack of energy drink drops, I have acquired extra gloves as well (bc I have also already unlocked Fit Brian), so will the extra 3 gloves (likely more) go towards the gloves I need as a requirement for game 6 or do they disappear and I must restart the items needed for game 6 once game 5 is cleared? I really appreciate all the help in this questioning of mine! 😁😃 Happy hump day ya’ll!

I can see extra Pom Poms being collected in the little progress bar in the upper right, but extra gloves aren’t being collected the same way, at least not visually.

I had weights going absolutely no where before they were added as a needed item to the game… but they still counted all the ones I earned just fine when they did finally trigger live into the game. 😉
LikeLike
I hope you’re right. Pom Poms aren’t needed right now, but like I said, can still see them being added. In week one there was something, I forget if it was playbooks or what, but they were dropping but not showing up as collected in the upper right. When I got to the next game that did require them, I started at zero.
LikeLike
Let me put it this way… IF something drops out of the Football Field, that lil icon is being gathered somewhere. So if you visually see it awarded, it is being collected. You may not see the collection point at the time, but it is being gathered into the game.
If you do NOT see the icon drop, then you did not earn that item at all. Therefor nothing is being collected.
Hope that makes sense. 🙂
LikeLike
It makes sense, yes. But that’s NOT what happened during week one, that’s all I’m saying.
LikeLike
For me, that is what happened. What item icon did you see pop out after completing a First Down in week one did NOT collect to the game?
LikeLike
It would have been the face grease, which doesn’t come from first downs but neither do the gloves. After I collected enough for football jersey Chris they no longer collected as I didn’t need them until game 3. I have no idea how many I should have collected before I got to game 3, but it was more than zero. When I started on game 3 I had zero.
I’m sure the items from the field are being collected. I can see them in the upper right. The grease was not, until I needed them again and the gloves, which I’ll need for game 6 are not either.
LikeLike
Hmmmm… that seems really odd, as I continued collecting them just fine long after Chris as the Football Field & Scoreboard needed them too. I still saw the icon pop out. So when it came to get Fit Brian in Phase 2 hitting, I already had all the Face Grease I needed from earning them Week one.
I am wondering if you may have “used” them elsewhere without knowing and was slowly depleting the ones you were getting to Zero (like I noted in the post above where one Material is used all over the game). Majority of the time I noticed players didn’t realize they actually took them for the Football Field or the Scoreboard from their totals.
LikeLike
I’m looking back through the old posts, and it might have been playbooks. There was something that I should have had some of and I was disappointed that when I got to the point where I needed them I had none. But that was week one and I still managed it fine. This week…well this week is not week one. I unlocked Fit Brian two days ago and I’ve collected at least 8-10 gloves since then. I do hope you’re right so when I get to game 6, I’ll have them. I’ll find out in about ten days. 😛
LikeLike
Please let me know if you see otherwise. ANY item you visually see dropped should add to somewhere in the game. If it does not, I need to let them know ASAP. 😉

Take a look ABOVE in this very post under the Pom Poms drops. There are only two ways. It is a Costume for Peter that drops them and it is in the Mystery Box. So if you did not get him, you will not be able to use that drop. ONLY the Football Field.

there appears to be a slight glitch, concerning Pom Pom drops.
I’ve just made it to game 4 and was surprised there was no Pom Pom reward icon. I refreshed my browser, still no change, made my first play of the match and was only rewarded Playbooks and Weights.
When I went back, for the next first down requirements, the Pom Poms were showing, again, as a reward.
So I lost out on my first reward, no biggie as I have all characters concerned either in progress or awaiting collection, for the next 1st down requirements.
LikeLike
Most likely this.. You triggered the drops and tasks for that first down BEFORE the pom poms were activated (it was already active with the ! in the field before you tapped on and started Game 4 as the field automatically starts the next play once the one before it completes), so they wouldn’t have shown until that play progression was complete and a new one started to recognize they’re needed…which was the next first down play. 🙂
Now that they are live and active… report if they are missing from first downs.

No Pom poms on my first downs and under the requirements. Only cowboy peter or Peter exaggerate are listed as sources. Not sure which skin is exaggerate stories as the link sends me to Al’s each time. So i think im at dead end! Will see if clearing next 1st down changes as I had just cleared Sherman with last 1st down that awarded 3 dumb bells rather than 1.
Feels like im a week behind again.
LikeLike
If you restart your device, that info will change on the pop up screen (that’s what it did for me). The drops noted in this post are the accurate ones for Pom Poms, so if you look it is Astronaut Cowboy Peter which is why it is taking you to Al’s looking for that costume for Peter. If you did not get him from the Mystery Box, then you will get them from the Field.
Just wait for your game to put the changes in place. Same as the commentor above… you have to wait until you play the first… well… First Down AFTER those changes go into effect AFTER you trigger Game 4.

They really need to add another quicker way to get energy drinks. I have even bought the characters, which I never do, and they don’t really help at all. Maximum you can get 5 energy drinks a day (2 for Sherman, 3 for fit Brian). To get the 37 needed to complete games 5 and 6, it would take over 7 days even if you had fit Brian from the beginning of week 2 (which no one did). So I would anticipate anyone who’s not usin clams to get through the games is pretty much screwed. I’m on 5 right now with 6 of them, still need 31 to get through the 6th game (6 days at this point). I really regret buying the players since they don’t help me get toward touchdown Jesus. Live and Learn I guess.

An interesting thing happened to me, i had 8/15 energy drinks for game 5 saved and it cost 59 clams to finish it. Both fit brian and Sherman didnt drop drinks for me this morning so I decided to clam through game 5 and move to game 6. For game 6, i have 8/22 energy drinks and am just 1 glove away from finishing it.
Long story short, it didn’t take my energy drinks from me when i used the clams on game 5, so they rolled over for game 6.
I would suggest to you guys to get to 14/15 energy drinks for game 5 and use clams (should be less than 10 clams for 1) to finish game 5 and see if your drinks carry over for game 6. If they do, like mine did, then you will be in great shape to unlock Bonnie.

There is a specific place for discussion and WTD is the EXACT place to discuss things like that. It is why it was set up. It is VERY relevant as it is the place to go to discuss things that frustrate you in the game. It keeps all the discussion in one area of focus and keeps OUR site the way the Addicts set it up to be, helpful.
Posts such as this are for help. Us helping you by providing the game basics, players helping each other with tips of things that worked for them, etc.
Think of it this way, you are out having fun at dinner but across the way two people start arguing. It gets to the point that others join in and the entire place erupts in fights. How do you feel now? Was it fair to the other diners to have to deal with that? Should that couple had some respect to take their issue to a more private setting to not disrupt what others are enjoying? Is it fair to the restaurant owner to now have several patrons walk out and lose business due to the disruption? Did it make everyone feel uncomfortable and think twice before going there again?
It is about respect and creating an atmosphere. The Addicts do not want an atmosphere of nothing but hate for a game we do NOT make. Be kind and respectful to others and what they ask when you are in their “house”. I wouldn’t walk into my Mom’s house and disrespect her wishes and standards of behavior. It is HER house, not mine. 😉

The good thing with having two tasks which are basically the same (like get one glove snd get two gloves) is that the first glove you get counts for both tasks, so overall you need teo gloves to complete both tasks, not three gloves.

I’m exactly where you are in the game. You would think that a 10 hour task for a ‘common’ item would pretty much be an ‘always’ drop since longer task time supposedly increases drop rate, but I haven’t gotten a single energy drink yet either. 😭😫. Keep up the hard work though! Hopefully TC will change the rate of drop for energy drinks or add it as a payout for field progression (which should have replaced play books or weights by now), or they will add another character to drop energy drinks such as Gronkowski, Quagmire, Jerome, or Chris since all their material drops are in abundance…at least in my game (about 52 helmets, 12 unused wrenches). I feel your struggle with the impossibility of getting energy drinks for game 5 AND game 6 within only one week. 🤔

Try some basics to see if it helps with the crashing.

One thing players using Android need to do is flush TGFS’s cache like once a month. The game loves to eat up tons of storage and never release it. I constantly have to free memory on my device to make it run correctly and efficiently.

I’m about where you are too. Have all the Pom poms, need two more footballs (four hours btw each first down bc Bonnie apparently needs to twerk it 24/7), and have ZERO energy drinks after sending Richard Sherman on that task three times now -wtd!? They need to not only shorten the task time to get energy drinks, but allow more than two characters only to drop them – THAT or at least change field progression to include energy drinks instead of useless play books and weights….am I right? 😉

Winning Game 3 is really killing me and looks impossible to finish. I’ve barely made a dent on getting Playbooks. I’m on 5 and I need to get 31. With progress halted by not being able to score a TD for 3 days and releasing Phase 2 items (Gloves) into the game before Phase 1 is finished instead of player unlocking it, TinyCo has made this event a Sisyphus-ian task. I doubt I’ll even come close to unlocking Cheerleader Bonnie, because TinyCo will stack Phase 3 on top of the mess I already have to go through still working on Phase 1.
Also I still haven’t unlocked Gronk because I used the Weighs I collected for Game 2 instead. There is no real reason to unlock him, since he doesn’t help with this event.

Gronk does now have a four hour task to get jerseys, so I decided to unlock him rather than saving weights for game 3. I’m at the 60 yard line, will take at least 10 hours to get to the 50 yard line IF Lois and Bruce come through with jerseys and IF the football players give up the two pairs of gloves needed… I only have 10 playbooks out of 31, so I still need to traipse down the field twice anyway, may as well improve my odds for jerseys with Gronk. Now I’m down to 7 weights for game 3, but have Chris working on those in his long practice blocking task, so probably by the time I have all those #%# playbooks anyway, I will have enough weights again for game 3.
One important habit to establish is to resist the urge to clear everybody from tasks when checking the game but instead go straight to the field to see what is needed to progress. Then clear anybody needed from the field line box and collect only what you absolutely have to collect to do it. Then if you hike to the next line, you might be able to get ahead on the next line requirements if you have people on required tasks who are done but not yet cleared. Establishing the habit even if you are not close to hiking to the next line will help you not miss such an opportunity when it occurs. I also hold onto a few football launchers (made with wrenches) rather than using them all up, just in case there’s a task to collect the face paint that is satisfied by just having them in stock. I would do the same thing with jerseys if I could ever get enough of them to stockpile….

Definitely appreciate the tip about NOT clearing tasks until needed to fulfil another requirement! Unless the Coin and Experience are still needed, let ’em sit until the collection of the task helps. Excellent tip! (I saw it somewhere else, regarding Bonnie Twerking and Joe Patrolling, but I will now use it everywhere.) Disappointed this never occurred to me before. 🙂

Hi, since you asked- I’m still stuck on game 3, have only moved about 40 yards total since Friday. Gloves are the bottleneck, 9 to go. I have no concerns about drop rates other than the 2 players getting tackled should be an always IMO, but that’s a topic for WTD. I’m hoping to get Sherman in a couple of days at this rate. But, who knows based on comments here. I want to stay positive, I was so hoping after week one that touchdown Jesus might be possible. Now seems very unlikely . It’s just demoralizing. I miss having fun with the game. Thanks for all the helpful info, I’ll see how it goes from here. Hope you are feeling better by the day Bunny!

Share your feelings about Touchdown Jesus. Hopes were dashed by the #%&# jersey/gloves bottleneck. They should have at least labeled him “Freakin’ hard!” as they did with other prizes to warn us. 🙂 I think Bonnie might be still possible, though the probability is low. So I’ll just keep at it and try to avoid gnashing my teeth too much. I must learn to accept what I cannot change…
Wish they had a miracle task for Jesus to get us down the field faster, for those of us who already have him. Heck, everybody has God – why not let him do an occasional football miracle? What good is having an all-powerful being in the game if he just wastes his time showing up on toast?!? Put him to work!

It’s ridiculously slow getting objects, it’s taking nearly a week and still have a ways to go to win game 3. I guess the only way to progress is to spend many $$$s for clams.

“How far are you in the Games? How is your Material collection coming?”
It may sound like a WTD, but just answering the questions:
I’m still on Game 3 and short Playbooks and Weights because I can’t progress down the field since the ‘common’ Jerseys aren’t dropping commonly. Waiting hours for jerseys and then failing to get glove drops as well afterward. Chris’ weights task is also rather lengthy.

Just wanted to add that the face grease is also required for Fit Brian.

Still trying just to finish game 3 and I still need 13 play books. I play pretty regularly, do not have cam. But this event progress is entirely too slow – biggest delay is needing gloves. Main problem the shirt task seems to drop every 2/3 or 1/2 – so on 4 hour tasks it takes awhile to get 4 shirts to create enough players to clear a rival. Then these do not always drop gloves – again 1/2 or 2/3 it seems – so in a given day I might only get 2 to 4 gloves – and I might only progress 20 to 30 yards and get 3 play books – so at that rate another 4 to 5 days to complete game 3. Getting much further for this event will be slow and tedious. Losing interest.

I’m with you Chad. Getting 1-2 Jerseys every 8 hours is slow going. Then waiting for the players to be made. Then, after all day, getting the two to take out a rival and it doesn’t drop gloves. Then, finally, after clearing it and getting a first down, here they come again…get 2 more gloves. Losing interest is a great summary.

Do me a favor though, please keep venting on What the Deuce. Keep in mind how much time and effort I put into these posts. Hours upon hours (which is not easy especially in recovery). I know it may not seem that to you, but it is grueling at times to put a single post together.
I get that the drops are not functioning in a way us Players want and have already been taking action on it, but please do not allow that anger to turn every single post into a “TinyCo vent session” K? Let’s keep the helpful posts to just that, helping each other with tips and methods to support other Players. 🙂

I’m still on Game 2. I need a billion helmets for everything, and only FB Chris is dropping them with any regularity. I just unlocked Gronkowski this weekend and was hoping he’d help with helmets, as it otherwise seems I wasted the ones to unlock him. I don’t want anything in this event enough to shell out clams, which is good since I’ll be surprised if I unlock anything else. I can’t even start collecting for emaciated (sorry, he looks gross) Brian. I would have kinda liked the Peter skin in this mystery box, but not enough to gamble clams on it, and I might have bought the Puppy Bowl premium building (because: puppies) but it doesn’t drop anything. Ooh, too bad Puppy Brian couldn’t do puppy bowl stuff!

Lol… that is how he looked for the episode it came from. That was the joke, he thought he was “healthy” though as you can see he looked very sickly.

Yes, I remember that episode, still think he looks gross! Of course, none of the Brian skins can beat Puppy Brian, in my opinion. Speaking of cute things in the game, I still can’t get enough of the two L’ils fighting. I get a kick out of just selecting the task (which I have to announce out loud in a silly voice). And my Don stands nearby, petting his cat around the clock.

Lol… I normally store Characters not in use anymore… but I do admit those two fighting and of course I have lil lois kicking too next to them. Add to the mix any other Li’l character… it looks like a massive fight with the Li’ls and it is adorable. Like watching kids n puppies go at it… so cute and funny.

Well even spending clams is not helping. I am not spending clams on Buildings, but I am spending clams on characters. Too many buildings….I don’t need anymore. Well the character spends are not enough. I am still on game 3. It is still going extremely slow.
I logged a ticket with Tiny Co as i had 8 in a row no return on Football Jersey. That is a full 12 hours of no return, for something common
