Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Are you ready for some Tap Ball!? Tap Ball is the newest sensation sweeping the streets of Springfield. A game invented by our very own Homer J Simpson! In the Second “Act” of the Tap Ball Event (funny they’re called Acts, really they should be called Periods like Hockey. Oh EA, I thought you knew sports 😉 ) you’ll unlock Tennis Marge, FIT Milhouse, unlock Community Challenges and continue to challenge your friends and neighbors to some friendly Tap Ball competitions!
This Event is broken up into 3 Acts (again, should be called Periods EA…), with each Act containing part of the story. To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act. Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event. For the Second Act you’re tasked with collecting Hats (
For this post we’re going to combine the second and fourth prize…why? Because they’re basically the same prize, just designed a bit different. So they fit nicely together in one post 🙂 Sooo…
The Second Act 2 prize awarded at 11,900 
And the Fourth Act 2 Prize awarded at 23,800 
Both items are decorations for your Springfield. So let’s take a closer look at both of these obstacales and just what happens when you unlock them in your Springfield.
Let’s start with the Obstacle wire…
Once you’ve collected 11,900
You’ll have the ability to place the Wire in your Springfield immediately or place it in your inventory for later (store). If you store it, remember you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.
And it’s basically the exact same thing for the Obstacle Log…
Once you’ve collected 23,800
You’ll have the ability to place the Log in your Springfield immediately or place it in your inventory for later (store). If you store it, remember you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.
And that’s really it to BOTH prizes. There’s no questline, no dialogue, nothing telling you to place it in your Springfield to earn more
And now here are some quick facts about the Obstacles (they’re both exactly the same):
Size: 3×3
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Vanity +500
Where Can I Place It?: Grass/Pavement
What Does it Do?: Nothing really. Just a decoration for your Springfield. No animation and no character interaction. These are now animated, when I initially unlocked them they were not, so it must be a recent addition by EA
So that’s it my friends the full breakdown on the Hat Obstacles for Act 2!
What do you think of the Obstacles? Have you unlocked 1 or both yet? Where about you placed it in your Springfield? Thoughts about the event overall? Any prizes you’re most looking forward to? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
