Hey there Cheddar Heads!
It is time to get an idea of just where in the Event all of you are at, the items you are all struggling with. get some good input and results as to the drops, and all that other pondering stuff you all wonder about where others are in the game.
IT’S POLL TIME!!
Take a look at all the questions below and answer those that apply to your best ability. I will try to get the results up by this weekend, so I will be closing the Poll Wednesday night. (February 3rd, 2016)
Here is the direct link in case the other does not work for you…

They just added a new mystery box, which offers the “Jack” character, who always drops gloves. But if you already have him, you don’t have to spend the clams, and he still drops gloves, but it would have been nice to get the heads up from TinyCo that they were adding tasks for drops!

Lol. Since when do they tell us how an Event will play out to the end in advance? Like I always say… this game can change daily via new drops, characters, buildings, etc… so you can’t determine tomorrow on today’s stats. All you can do is play and see what happens. 😉

I’ve always liked these polls, and I always do them.
I’m behind, because of an odd reason. Up until now the game worked just fine with my low speed mobile internet(32 kbps), but since this new event came whenever I access the game, and do what I need and quit it just won’t save it. Should I have less buildings to improve the situation?

I would suggest yes. This game drains so much RAM and most devices can’t handle the amount it needs. Including brand new ones. I tuck away as much as I can, including anything animated to cut down on the RAM. Here are other tips that help with Memory drain, see if any help your situation.

if only, he can’t be worse than the other guy. i had him on the 10 hour task six times so far, and got three energy drinks in return. how is this a common drop? this is the same sort of ratio as i got for the baby oils for fit brian – of which i also still need five more. this is getting a little bizarre, there is no way to finish week two before say sunday this week. shame really…

This just unfair to put TWO tasks which earn pom poms on the same costume which is also premium. Could have at least give one task to Fit Brian or Sherman…

Huh? I want to make sure you understand what I am telling you… the ONLY Costume that drops Pom Poms is Astronaut Peter. NO ONE ELSE. There are currently ONLY two ways to get them, both listed in the Rundown as well as the Football Field post.

While I am incredibly appreciative and thankful that the drops have increased (although I haven’t quite experienced it in my game yet), a bigger issue is the main quest line requirements. Many are stuck on Game Three, yet in order to unlock the final week’s content you have to have cleared Game Six (per the main quest line). And, yes, I know to be patient and see how it plays out, but I have played it out for almost two weeks and am still on Game Three despite checking in every two hours in addition to having Gronk and skins for Chris and Brian plus I clear the football field first before clearing any other tasks. I have seven footballs stored from touchdowns but can’t get past Game Three. I hope the increased drops give me enough time to make up where I am behind.

Feelin’ your pain Tim. I got behind with helmets in Phase One and just have never been able to catch up. I know I am in the minority in that I enjoy the strategy of this event concept, but wish there was more clarity in having all the steps of the 12-step process be always drops. At least then if I felt I was behind because of missed collections, I would be more apt to drop the clams needed to catch up. I am so far behind that the clam numbers are so outrageous and I don’t really feel as though I am gaining anything since I will just be behind again before too long. I cleared Game Three and got Sherman yesterday and Brian’s skin today — only to work the math and find out I need 37 energy drinks before 4 pm PT tomorrow if I want to unlock the final week’s content and have a fighting chance at it. The 25 pom poms I think will come eventually since they are always dropping and I haven’t had too much trouble strategizing to gain first downs. But the energy drinks is a big number and there is the unknown of a new item with the new content. The fact that I can’t get through the quest line delays me that much further from working on the final week’s content. Not sure TD Jesus is in my future since it took me almost two weeks to win three games and I would need to win five more, but I don’t want to bail out on the event at Bonnie’s skin because I have zero chance at realistically getting anything else. If they want to make these things near impossible to get, I could live with that so long as I had some honest chance at it, i.e., having the full week. Since I may not even see the new stuff until early next week (if I am lucky), it seems useless to even consider it.

Okay, I think I figured this event out.
The secret to the winning this thing is to only focus on the making First Downs.
– Only do what is needed to complete the First Down. Keep all your characters, who drop items for TDs checked to use only when they are required. This also includes Bonnie and Joe. Whatever is needed to gain a FD, click on that first to complete it to get the next FD. Look at what the next requirements are and click on those characters if they are ready.
– Don’t immediately go after Gloves until they are needed for FDs or you have enough Jerseys stored to replenish them to use later for 1-2 Gloves before the next requirement is possible to complete.
– Only uncheck all characters when you need a requirement that takes 4+ hours to get to make a FD.

My poll answers may be changing.
I’ve seen a couple comments about it, but it does seem like they sneakily improved some of the drop rates. They said a couple of days ago that jerseys were dropping as intended while I was getting maybe one or two per six attempts, and gloves were just as poor on the back end. Now it seems the jerseys are dropping as “common” items should and I think I’ve gotten gloves from around the last eight attempts on football players.

Don’t really know how a freemium player can actually get Touchdown Jesus from this event short of putting up a lot of clams (which kind of removes the “free” part of the equation). Gloves are dropping at around 90-100% of the time for me, but at roughly 6 hours per glove it takes an ungodly amount of time to get enough for certain things.
At least I’m closing in on being done with Game 3. Once I have Sherman I’ll likely get Gronkowski and Fit Brian and call it an event, because anything past that is looking awfully sketchy.

they certainly have, both jerseys and gloves have now basically become always drops. but this just shifts problems to the energy drinks and to the baby oils.
i also don’t quite understand why anyone in their right mind would go for the clam offer to get pom poms. you will have multiple times the number of pom poms you need by the time you have sufficient energy drinks. they should have made a clam offer with giving you say 10 energy drinks, that would have been a true incentive.

I had sworn off clams during Mobsters. But my love of sports got me in for the purchases this time. I still think if I buy the premium characters, I “should” be able to complete the event, given I check in every 2-4 hours. But even with Brady and Newton, the game still looks rigged against me thanks to energy drinks. (0 for 2 so far.) I’m sure the helmets/gloves issues would be far worse without my purchases. Fit Brian should be mine within a day. I figure that Cheerleader Bonnie should be gotten by the end. But I’m frustrated that once again the game seems to have fixed the recurrent problems in the first week of an event only to have them resurface in the second week.

Was it a glitch? Has TinyCo changed Energy drop rates? I just collected from Fit Brian and TWO energy drinks dropped. And both were added to my total. I also checked and it wasn’t from Richard Sherman since he still has 1 hour remaining on his task. Either way I will take it (energy if it is a one off).

Freemium player here who’s 4 gloves away from Fit Brian and 10energy drinks from beating Game 5. My answers in the poll are a bit skewed; the drops for jerseys and glove drops have definitely improved today. Jersey drops have gone from 33% to 66% for me, and glove drops have gone from 50% to 100%. (Fingers crossed that this continues.). Nervous about Game 6, as well as what next week will bring.

I always enjoy doing these polls, I’m a premium player and easily progressed through the first week of this event, as I had everything done by Monday last week. But with phase 2 its slowed down to a crawl, as I noticed that the Energy drinks were gonna be hard to collect I used clams to beat Game 5 when I had everything else bar them, and since then I’ve only managed to get 4 of them, I just unlocked Fit Brian this morning so that will help, and I’ve managed to get loads of every other item, including 11 Footballs. I just think that we should have had a few more ways of getting the Energy Drinks, as things must be really difficult if you play this freemium. How’s everyone else doing?

The change from Week 1 to Week 2 in the 12-step program was a bit ridiculous. Went from requiring one football machine to take out a fan, which took a half-hour to make, required only one wrench, and that only took two hours to get. So essentially you could take out a fan every 2.5 hours if you just sent out one character to do that task. Then this week it’s two opponents to get a glove, two football players to take out an opponent, football player takes an hour to make, and it’s a four-hour task to get a jersey. So using only one character, you could get a glove around every 20 hours. I mean it was a big jump.
Looking at this week’s games, I’m on Game 5 after having dropped about 100 clams so far to speed things up, and still looking at getting those energy drinks is gonna be a heck of a problem, since it’s like an 8 hour task and only two guys can complete it.
I know this isn’t the airing of grievances thread, but since it’s about progress, I just felt like Week 1 was reasonable, and then got exponentially (and unreasonably) harder Week 2 and really slowed things down.

I’m a freemium player that has used saved up clams on Tom Brady and Cam Newton so I’m probably ahead of the average freemium. I unlocked Fit Brian last night. And while I had to give my best guess for some of the answers, I can tell you exactly what my Energy Drink drops are, 3 out of 7 ( 3/6 since I started sending Richard Sherman a few days ago, 0/1 from Brian). Even if I was able to collect from Brian 3 times a day AND they were an always drop it would be cutting it close for the rest of the event to get the 37 needed to win game 6.

When this event started, I was excited to see how quickly I was able to get thru game 1. It appeared that TinyCo had listened to us to make the first phase easier to get thru. Then the first clam special offer hit and, in my game, all drops slowed down to a crawl. Still 5 play books away from game 3 and saving the weights for game 3. Once I use them, will have to start all over again for Gronk.

Would like to see a question about weights and play books as well. Finally get enough gloves to move down the field and I get coins instead of play books or weights. Very frustrating. I tore thru the first week, I am stuck in neutral this week.
