SummerSlam 92 Scrimmage Contest

My thoughts on the entire contest.

Starting with the good.

I really enjoyed being able to max the contest and see what the game has to offer in rewards when you actually complete a contest.

Getting a new free superstar is good for everyone’s roster and could help the newer players enjoy the game more and stay if you could grind your way to a half decent superstar every couple of months.

The leaderboard prizes look good and again with a grind are achievable.

Now, the bad.

The Blog doesn’t match the contest or has inaccurate information. For example the required superstars, it states any showboat but a new gen showboat is required.

People don’t like being lied to. We were all informed that the affected players would not receive bulldog until after the 24 hour bonus period had ended. They received him at the start of the contest along with 500k bonus points. This gave 20% of the game a head start on the contest leaderboards and makes the whole contest unfair for the people who by no fault of their own were unaffected by the mistake earlier in the week. It was also communicated that bulldog would be in the middle of the free milestones. You could argue that he was this week seeing that all milestones were achievable for free however, most people see the middle as milestone 5 or 6 not 10.

Overall I think it was really good that you gave away what you did to the community but it wasn’t without it issues.

the sd was once again the bottom drawer.
 one is promised that the event star is not in the last ms and where is it in the last .
 without the rare superstars no chance to score. 
and then you should fight 300 sd or more depending on how many stars are missing.
 just shit.
 the team bags are nice but i always had the same splinters in them, not enough of course.
 and the tours only with newgen what a great idea not.
 I found the earlier sd much better.
 you could max it now, a thing that is only possible with real money.
 and it's getting worse week by week.
 but as long as the whales can determine everything, it won't get any better.
 I can understand why many f2p players don't want to play the game anymore.
 it should also be thought about the awarding of points, maybe just more possibilities
 to do the solo at least without effort if you are missing the bonus stars.

As this event ends, I want to firstly say it is so refreshing to have a weekend event that doesn’t require anything other then time. Forget everything else, all you needed was the time to grind your way through the ENTIRE event. It’s something we all wish for constantly. Sure, you could spend and lessen the amount of time, and to me, that’s perfect! Hear me out …

This game has, in general gone from Pay to Win all the way to Pay to Play. You literally can’t complete events, even the “free” portion, without spending. It’s what I hate most about the game.

This event, that was not the case. It didn’t require a dime. This is a event we should get AT LEAST one weekend a month. I’d even suggest making better packages to buy that would lessen the time required. I’d bet you’d make more money then a normal event where you can spend and get nowhere in the event. This is how events should work all the time tbh, but at least once a month, let people grind all the way through for free. Give us that option please

Overall this was a decent event for those able to put in the time for it. Like the majority I didn’t have all the characters that gave extra points but thanks to grinding through matches up until the end I was able to get the free card and some added rewards afterward thanks to the basic points given per fight performed.

Hopefully there will be more contests like this in the future.

I would like to say tho this event wasn’t easy to max getting the bulldog was rather easy. I did manage to max the event with 55 sec left without having

luke

earthquake

striker austin

striker rvd

or acro snoops

it took me the whole time to do it but added 2 new ppl(bulldog, ronda) and I got the plate I wanted as well. So tho it took me a while it was almost free I did spent 1 token a day ($10) to max an event I for one would rather have an event take me all day to max then spend then it’s up to me how bad I want it not how much money I want to spend

I thought the SD scrimmage event this weekend was the best SD event EVER in the game. It’s even better than the zPaige SD event from the zRock Debacle. If I had time this weekend, I could have maxed the solo event, but was perfectly happy with milestone 15 and getting Bulldog at his fuse point, saving recruiting the 3sb for 200 shards.

It was also nice to see the community band together to help others get Bulldog or the skill plates. The ones who are complaining, I feel just want to get something for nothing or little effort just because of the Acro Warrior debacle. If the complainers put half the effort of leaving negative comments into trying to get Bulldog in the SD tournament, they would get him.

Were there miscommunication from Scopely? Probably yes, but I come to expect that each time, so it doesn’t surprise me.

I hope this kind of scrimmage where you can grind the milestone without the paywall comes back from time to time as good faith for all players. I’m not expecting this each month or every week, I just hope it doesn’t go into the black hole like Invasion…

2bob29 basically hit every point here on the head. We rarely ever get pure grind events that yields a whole actual card. This was Scopely's solution to quite the kerfuffle (thanks Goldie for that word). Could it have been better? Absolutely. Could it have been easier? Of course. I don't have anything to add to what 2bob29 already said because his response was that...damn...good. Real talk fella.

I’ll take this SD grind with these guaranteed rewards over the other shitty modes with nothing but RNG boxes any day.

good event and rewards overall

This event is exactly how they should always be. If you want the rewards spend you time to grind it out without having to spend. If one chooses to play for hours on end to get all the milestones it is their choice, and if one chooses to spend to get there that is their choice. I wish the circumstances that lead to this did not happen, but the result was the desired result for most that play this game. Playable options to win!!!

Nicely done, hopefully at least once per month we can get an event like this.

The only bad thing about this event were the circumstances that made it possible.

The card was definitely attainable if you had the time and will to grind through the amount of matches it took.

If we can get these a bit more often I think it will help create goodwill with the community.

This event was one of thr best events in the history of this game. By grinding, I was able to get a brand new card and two skill plates. And very good ones at that. Those complaining about the event simply do not want to put the effort in.

I appreciate having a guaranteed new superstar. With only the common bonus points characters, it took me ~8 hours to grind through the contest to get the Bulldog. Kinda feels ridiculous for something advertised as guaranteed achievable. It's hard to casually play over 500 games in a single day.

Yea, no most people don't have the bonuses or willing to play 700x SD games

I don’t understand how anyone can be upset with this event. You just needed to put in time to get a guaranteed new card. A weekend chase card at that. If you didn’t want to grind it out don’t complain, just love along. This has been one of the best events in some time and I would like to see this style event once a month!

The event itself was great, the communication was the issue and the people receiving the extra points which messed up the leaderboard. That being said the positive was that if you had the time you could cap it and that was great and should be the way it goes moving forward.
