Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Here we are in Act 3 of Tap Ball! Seems like just yesterday we were making our way through Act 2 collecting those hats and now here we are smack dab into Act 3 and collecting pennants. Oh wait. That was yesterday!
Anyway we’re in the final Act of our fun little summer sporting event..and with a new Act rolled out that of course means a new questline! The Act 3 questline is similar to the act 2 questline…in that it’s short. Very short! But nevertheless let’s still breakdown Turbo Tappin’ walkthrough for Act 3…
Note: Act 3 is a continuation of Act 1 and Act 2 and the questline is VERY short (3 parts). There are also questlines when you win Ralph, Testosterzone and if you purchase Grampa. We’ll cover those in their own rundown posts….

And that my friends concludes the walkthrough for Act 3 of the Tap Ball Event! No too much going on for Act 3, questline wise. So you can focus your time on earning more Amateur Bucks and playing Tap Ball.
What are your thoughts on the Tap Ball Event? What’s your teams record? Are you excited about any prizes in Act 3? Ready for the event to be over? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Ned: “Hello there! What can I ding dong diddley do for you?”
Me: “You can do lunges!”
Why, oh why, would they make such a wonderful animation as Ballet Ralph’s “sumbersaults” and not make that a permanent task? Seems like such a waste. 🙁
(It’s particular amusing that they’re not somersaults at all and that he folks around the whole town doing them!)
Hello, I need more bleachers and wonder what my options are:
I only have 7 guys able to play tap ball and it’s still a long way to Ralph (the event ends in only 4, 5 days or something like this). Besides visiting neighbors and playing tap ball (if possible against 5 star teams) the only thing I know to gain more amateur dollars is to revive tired players by using donuts (each character 1 Dollar) (I often only revive 1 of my 4 5Star players and let him play with my weak 3 players).
Do you have an idea how I can save time or speed up? I need the bleachers to create my own wrestling stadium with the boxing ring (which is a wrestling ring actually, it has 3 ropes, not 4). 😉
Do you
Just keep logging in often. Fans give them to you as do tap ball matches. Also send your characters on frequent tasks…
Err I just unlocked crazy cat lady but haven’t got her? How do i submit a ticket to this game? Not had to before?
There’s nothing to get. It only unlocks her ability to play Tap Ball, it does not unlock her. You have to have already purchased her to use her. (ie you have to have spent the donuts)
I completedthe daily training and got the crazy cat lady but I can’t seem to see her in my inventory box or anywhere? Can anyone help?
There’s nothing to get. It only unlocks her ability to play Tap Ball, it does not unlock her as a character (and there’s no skin for her). In order to use it you have to have her (ie have to have paid donuts for her). Otherwise there’s no prize today, other than the pennants
I earned Crazy Cat Lady in myour daily tasks but she hasn’t shown up in my game and shea not in my inventory either.

What happens at the end of the chapmionship game? My game crashed, then i came back in to find it was over, etc.
Nothing. There’s no additional dialogue, after the task.
Do you gain anything by sending the TapBall players to “Drink at Moe’s” or “Play in Chanpionship Game”. Seems like our time would be better spent earning more tickets than just earning cash.
Thoughts?
Nope just completing the task
So nothing lost then. Sweet. Going to earn more bleachers!
Thank You Wookie & Simp7fan! I do speak 4 languages, Spanish not being one of them, but it’s a bit like Italian; So I understood Wookie’s tongue in cheek reply. Thank You for your help! I’m still sitting on the fence about the purchase of those items. (Now 4 Aussie Rules goal & point post sticks I’d grab as quickly as I did the Aussie flags for my Springfield! )
I’m stuck on “create a tap ball scandle” task. When Homer is busy doing any other task I get the “do it” arrow but as soon as he frees up the arrow disappears..
What gives?
When Homer’s free and you tap on him does the task popup in yellow? If you’ve already completed it and it’s just stuck try going to krustyland and back to Springfield…
No it came up and Homer and Lisa talked about it but I sent Lisa to build the White House. When I tap on homer it doesn’t show up at all as an option but if I tap on Homer blowing the whistle in the task menu it’s there but with no blue “Do It” button.
If I set homer to another task the “do it arrows” come back but he ovi can’t do 2 things at once.
I don’t have krusty land yet.
I thought of this tho this morning, I don’t have Moes and can’t figure out how to get it, and sending the players to Moes is the second task.. Maybe that’s the issue? How do you get Moes?
It’s because you don’t have Moe’s. Moe’s doesn’t unlock until Level 15
Thanks!
How is the opponent’s star rating calculated? I took my “B” team against what was supposed to be a 4-star team, but that team was made up of three 4-1/2 star players, and one 4-star player. Wouldn’t that be a 4-1/2 star team? Just curious is all…
You play their best team, if you’re playing a neighbor. If you’re playing the computer (in your own town) you play a team slightly worse than yours. The stars are an average, sorta. If one is slightly below the whole team overall is going to be slightly below.
Interesting…so if I have four 5-star players (my “A” team) and the rest are a mish-mash of 2-to-4-star players, will my team show up as a 5-star team to my neighbors? That might explain why I don’t get many neighbor games.
Yup, but your team when a neighbor plays you, will always be the 5 star team that plays.
OK, makes sense! Thanks!
What if – wildly speculating here – what IF that final, glowing ball at the conclusion of the daily tasks is worth, like, 10 million balls? I could totally see EA over there snickering as we all complain about the impossibility of the prizes.
Everyone should make a “B” game if they can just to generate cash for soccer balls. Then you can have the “A” game to focus on.
I was hoping the last ball on the daily tasks was going to be a character like cristiano Ronaldo or another soccer player. Im enjoying the event and even after starting a few days late i caught up eventually. This is a great site keep up the good work.
That would have been cool. I’m pretty sure Ronaldo was in the Homer/Lisa soccer episode…
The stuff in the amateur shop seems expensive. 3000 bucks for a tyre target, 6000 for the low blow boxing ??
The fencing seems doable at 325 and will look good around some of the other buildings, maybe a couple of the single bleachers too. Has anyone else bought much yet ?
I seem to be earning all of the Act Prizes for Tap Ball Event, however, the Community Prizes seem impossible to obtain (even if I’m throwing 2-3 Balls daily) – so thank you EA for a fun (new) Event …. but your Community Prizes Levels are not obtainable (epic fail!)
Can an Aussie ask a stupid question? Those football goals look nothing like Aussie Rules ones…. Are they modelled on actual American football goal posts? Just wondering is all…. I don’t think I’ll buy them, as they’re a bit pricey to get 2 for a game I don’t understand.
Yes… just like our goals from futbol Americano lol
I think Karon speak English. haha. (but I got it. I speak a little Spanish. 😉 )
Throw Ball!! 😀
For the most part, I’m ok with the event…wasn’t too hard, didn’t feel like I was “working” to take part (which I did feel like at times with Terwilligers). Got a bunch of extra donuts and a couple nice knicknacks, and hopefully, I’ll score enough bucks to build a decent stadium.
But I am disappointed by one “omission”…I was really hoping with all the sports stuff that we would get a half basketball court like you see in parks. We got football uprights, we got a tennis court (we already had volleyball). But I’ve been hoping for a long time now for basketball courts to put in my park and/or at the high school, and still, sadly, no.
Its kind of ‘Act 3’ related. How does EA expect us to have any chance at getting all the community prizes when they are obviously way above what is actually achievable. When I first saw 110million I instantly thought they were dreaming. I hope they wake up up and actually make it achievable!
Well initially i thought 500 million was low, compared to previous Community Prizes, but they made the way to earn them way too hard, so people don’t throw them.
It’s not like the mutant seeds from last event where you get a few for free and throw then, some people might not throw any balls. I try to throw two a day but it’s hard to part with the bucks.
Sorry, I don’t want to be that guy, but at the top there is one part that says about having finished “Act 3” instead of 2, and the guide doesn’t say how many players need to drink at Moe’s. Again, sorry, and thanks for making the guide!
whoops 7 players
Great, thanks for that! Sorry, I don’t like pointing those things out as they are small mistakes and I really appreciate everything that you all do on the sites. 🙂
Hey I’m just wondering if there’s really a point to finishing this quest line, since it requires to use tapball players and only gives cash in return. Since the event is it’s last act I’m wondering if I should just keep them on amateur bucks earning tasks so I can get all the stadium decorations I want and spend the rest on community balls
This one you don’t have to finish…but it does unlock another questline once all of the community prizes are unlocked.
😭
🌞💎
As it stands now we need to average 3 million per hour, every hour for the next 7 days to be able to get all of the community prizes. That’s a rough estimate, but shows the shear scale of this undertaking. I’m not happy about this. The rest of the even has been fine because it is not time consuming. Wedding planning takes a ton of time, even for a fairly simple event like we are having. 4 months is not a lot of time.
Does anyone have the solution?
I have problems finding lugash’s skin.
I have found Jasper’s and the boxer’s skin in the box.
I have not bought any of them, but shouldn’t all three be at the same storagepace?
Thank you for answering. =)
Lugash isn’t a skin. It just unlocked the ability for Lugash to play Tap Ball if you already had him. He is a premium character so you would have to buy him to do it.
Thank you so much. =)
Now I don’t have to keep on looking for him.
Really looking forward to “Should I buy it” on the murderhorn. It looks awesome buts that’s a lot of donuts if it just turns into a decoration
I wonder if Kumika will come back because of CBG reference/discussion with her.
I really hope so.
Thank You for everything and I hope you are doing great Alissa,
how are you feeling?
I hope great.
I’m feeling well, thanks! 🙂
Whats the difference between the beach looking ball and the soccer ball? I notice if i tap the beach ones sometimes it says ball collected and i can see the ball count go up showing i have collected one ball. Yet othertimes ill tap on one and it will say ball collected but the ball counter will stay at zero. Not adding it to my count. Does anyone know why that is? What did i miss? This only happens with the beach looking ones. Thanks!
Nothing, just how they appear in your town.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/07/06/tap-ball-101-community-prizes/
There’s a 68% chance of receiving one when you collect one.
Honestly this even been first disappointing one to me since i started playing during last years Halloween event. Prizes been underwhelming to say the least, aswell as questlines. Just one new character when theres so many that couldve been added.. Many missed opportunities. But thats just my opinion ofc 😊
Well, we’re on Act 3 now and *only* 100 million community balls to go before we hit our next prize! (I have to admit, unless EA adjusts the prizes drastically, your optimism is starting shine a little less brightly…)
Up till now people had to buy balls, now we’ll be getting them as prizes for daily training, this should push the numbers up quickly. We’ll see already tomorrow how much this will help.
I had Lisa on a 24 hour task when I got the dialogue that she was needed and was trying to decide if I needed to spend donuts to rush her. Now I know I can wait. Thanks!
I feel like this is too simple. The events have been so complex lately, so I kind of feel like I’m missing something. There’s not much that I want to buy with amateur bucks, so I’m not really even sure the point… What am I missing??
It’s really a simple event honestly.
There’s not much that i want to buy if anything. Im gonna buy balls cause i want the community prizes 😇
