He does come with a full questline, here’s a look at that questline:
Bucks Given Pt. 1
Buck starts
Homer: Look, Buck. I know you’re happily married again, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a happy home run hitter too.
Buck Mitchell: I’m sorry, Homer. I think I caught a bad case of the yips on my honeymoon!
Homer: And how long do these “yips” tend to last?
Buck Mitchell: It depends: sometimes a week, sometimes forever. Man, I can barely swing a bat.
Homer: You must find balance, Buck. The Isotopes need you. I need you.
Make Homer Convince Buck Mitchell to Step Up His Game- 4hrs, Earns $175, 45xp
Make Buck Mitchell Try to Have the Best of Both Worlds– 4hrs, Earns $175, 45xp
Buck Mitchell: I have to find a way to get a competitive advantage. Ugh, I wish I played for one of those Boston teams — they all know how to cheat.
Marge: Isn’t cheating wrong though?
Buck Mitchell: Baseball is all about cheating. It’s one big fat cheating fest.
Marge: Maybe you should just work harder in practice?
Buck Mitchell: Practice? You wanna talk about practice? Practice? Practice?!
Marge: Yeah, practice.
Buck Mitchell: Okay, sure. I’ll practice.
Bucks Given Pt. 2
Buck starts
Homer: Look, Buck. To get over your bad play you have to drown out the boos and heckles. Just ignore all the haters.
Buck Mitchell: I have haters?
Homer: Oh, tons! So many.
Buck Mitchell: It won’t work. I didn’t even know I had haters, and I was still playing bad before.
Homer: Okay, new approach: you have to eat tons of crazy sugary junk food!
Buck Mitchell: Eating junk food to improve your athletic performance? Seems backwards.
Homer: Trust me. Every super athlete is hopped up on Skittles, donuts, and you name it! They only call it “junk food” to mislead the public.
Buck Mitchell: I guess I do kind of like donuts…
Make Buck Mitchell Eat His Weight in Donuts- 4hrs, Earns $175, 45xp
Buck Mitchell: After all these donuts, I just feel super bloated and gross.
Homer: Once you get out there, you’ll be hitting home runs at every at-bat.
Buck Mitchell: I don’t know. These donuts aren’t sitting well. *throws up*
Bucks Given Pt. 3
Buck starts
Kent Brockman: That makes it eighteen straight losses for the Springfield Isotopes. I’m not one to point fingers, but if I was I would be pointing straight at Buck Mitchell. He’s washed up!
Buck Mitchell: He’s right. I am washed up.
Bart: You’re not washed up, Buck. Could I have your autograph?
Buck Mitchell: That’s nice, kid. At least I still have one fan.
Bart: Ew, no. I’m not your fan. You just signed a petition to officially ban you from baseball.
Homer: Don’t listen to him, Buck. You have tons of fans. Look over there, they’re cheering for you!
Buck Mitchell: Those are all fans of the opposing team!
Make Buck Mitchell Sign Autographs While Unamused- 12hrs, Earns $420, 100xp
Bucks Given Pt. 4
Buck starts
Buck Mitchell: You’re not supposed to be in here! This is the men’s locker room.
Marge: Oh, relax! Your terrible baseball slump is messing up my home life, so I need you to get it together, Buck.
Buck Mitchell: Marge, I’m retiring from baseball!
Marge: Okay, I didn’t want to do this, but Bart stole all the pitcher’s signs. And we have a video camera with a live feed.
Bart: If you hear one air horn then it’s a fastball. Two air horns: a changeup, and three: a slider…
Marge: Are you in?
Buck Mitchell: LET’S DO THIS!
Make Bully Boss Address the Crowd- 1hr, Earns $70, 10xp
Bucks Given Pt. 5
Buck starts
Kent Brockman: And it’s another home run! The Springfield Isotopes take the lead after three straight Buck Mitchell bombers!
Buck Mitchell: I can’t believe it! Knowing exactly what the pitcher is going to throw really gives you an advantage.
Kent Brockman: It all comes down to this. It’s full count in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. If Buck Mitchell hits a home run, the Isotopes will keep their World Series hopes alive.
Bart: *air horn*
Buck Mitchell: Okay, one air horn. That means he’s throwing a strike.
Bart: Oh, crap! The air horn’s out of air. It’s a curveball! A curveball!
Buck Mitchell: Huh?
Kent Brockman: And Buck Mitchell has swung and missed! The Isotopes’ season is over!
Buck Mitchell: I should’ve never tried to cheat. I guess now I’ll have to do a bunch of my superstitious rituals and repent to the baseball gods…
Make Buck Mitchell Conduct Superstitious Rituals- 4hrs, Earns $175, 45xp
Bart: I’m sorry, Buck. I tried my best at cheating, but the air horn ran out of air!
Buck Mitchell: It’s okay, kid. I’m still rich.
Bart: Your life’s just one long seventh inning stretch, isn’t it?
Buck Mitchell: *singing* “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don’t care if I never get”–
Bart: Leave the singing to your pop star wife.

And that’s it my friends, the details on Buck Mitchell…the final No Bucks Given prize!
And that’s it my friends! What are your thoughts on the new mini-event? Tasks? Dialogue? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
I got Buck Mitchell in a Character box. It downloaded but the quest line will not allow me to click to get them started. It’s literally nothing there. Has anyone else seen this before?
Need to check but IIRC needs the mini-golf course – reply with the name of the quest and the first task and that’ll help me find out
Buck Mitchell – his vocal dialogue may be soft spoken compared to other voiced Characters ….. but the dialogue is great and the Visual Tasks are funny (hey, no Character Tasks at the Brown House, thank you EA!!)
Fun was had during the worst of times …. a B Grade Mini Event (I’d give it an A, but that’s when EA gets rid of the Bart Screen & audio sounds during the Load Screen!)
Hope all are staying safety! 👍🏻
I got Buck Mitchell Wednesday night but didn’t unlock all of his tasks until last night. He is definitely the best prize in this event for a number of reasons: 1) He’s voiced which is something that is becoming rarer in the game especially in the last event when there was only one voiced character. 2) He uses the Isotope Stadium (1st prize) and Mitchell Mansion (4th prize) for his regular tasks which is a reason to keep both buildings out and he does not have a single Brown House task even in his questline. 3) His visual tasks are 4 and 12 hours long which is a change to the 12 and 24h in the last couple of updates. 4) Buck’s visual tasks are pretty decent especially his 4 hour one which is random yet funny. ⚾🏟️🏡
EL BARTO!
His 4 Hour Visual Task is very funny (great Character as Event Prize, didn’t feel like you Grinded for nothing, or had your time wasted obtaining!!)
