Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s getting sporty in Springfield! With the 2015 Tap Ball Event loads of new sports related decorations and buildings have been introduced in our stores. During Act 1 of the event we have the option of purchasing two decorations and one building for donuts. Now I know you may be trying to decide if any of these items are worth YOUR donuts, but don’t sweat it! We’re here to tell you what’s worth the donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Sportacus, the Boxing Ring or the Tennis Court to YOUR Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these sport themed items to YOUR Springfield!
Building: Sportacus
Donut Price: 85 Donuts
Earns: $260 & 26XP/10hrs
Size: 9×6
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Consumerism +10
Pros
-Comes with a short questline and 1 time use task for Willie
-Neat looking building
-Adds to consumerism, one of the hardest areas to max out
Cons
-Does not pay out event currency
-Pricey for a one time use building
Final Thought:
Premium:
Personally I don’t think this is worth the donuts. If it paid event currency or Willie’s task was permanent, I’d think it was a little more worth it…but as it stands I think it’s a pass.
Freemium:
Stay away from this one in my opinion. Just not worth the donuts for what it is/what it does.
Sportacus Leaves Our Stores on July 3rd
Decoration: Boxing Ring
Donut Price: 30 Donuts
Size: 6×6
Bonus %: 0.50% on all cash and XP
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +150
Unique: No, buy as many as you’d like
Does it Do Anything: No, just a decoration. No animation, and no one uses it.
My opinion on decorations has always been, if you like it get it. If you don’t pass. So I won’t be doing Pros and Cons on this.
Final Thought:
This one, for me, isn’t worth it from a practical stand point. The price for bonus %, is awful. There are far better items you can pickup around the same cost that offer a MUCH better bonus % (like the Jet Engine Bike).
The Boxing Ring Leaves Our Stores on July 3rd
Decoration: Tennis Court
Donut Price: 50 Donuts
Size: 4×6
Bonus %: 2.25% on all cash and XP
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +500
Unique: No, buy as many as you’d like
Does it Do Anything: No, just a decoration. No animation, and no one uses it.
My opinion on decorations has always been, if you like it get it. If you don’t pass. So I won’t be doing Pros and Cons on this.
Final Thought
I like this one. The bonus % is decent for the price. Plus, for me, it reminds me of my Grandpa. 89 years old and still playing tennis regularly (and he can seriously kick my butt at it). For me this is one I’d pick up…
The Tennis Courts Leave Our Game when the Event Ends. (So no rush to get it right now)
And that wraps up the three Act 1 premium items in our stores.
