Withholding judgement on this event until it gets going, but just wanted to say right off, thank you for no milling of event items needed! I'm low on my feeds and need to be able to dedicate my mill to restocking, so the break is greatly appreciated. (Tho I do think it's a bit silly to schedule a Happy Stable Day on the first day of a grow and throw event . Just a side note, not a complaint.)

 

I agree, Spots. I thought we did have to mill the "footballs" but I just checked and thankfully you are right. I am totally happy that my mill can mill to its heart's content during this event!

 

Much as I do love these mini-games and I did have fun with the Viking, I adore her little screwed up face when she throws the axe, I have finally reached event saturation. I am so tired of uprooting my farm, growing events crops and then putting the farm back to normal - only for a day later to have to take everything out again.

I have the machinery, I just can't find the enthusiasm or the time for this event. It's a great one and there's nothing wrong with the event, it's just that I've have enough of them this year to last me a while.

 

I'm only going to say this once; if we are to produce 26,000 event plants, could you please set the drops accordingly? instead of 8 rubber band balls per harvest, I'm going to need 11 days to get enough to finish. That low drop rate is not shocking, I've seen worse. but the amounts are way lower than if I planted hay. Give us a break here.

 

This is the most awful event i have ever played ...I lost EVERY go of it trying to get to where i wanted to go ...wouldn't let me choose ...like the last time we played it ...this one looks like it is all mapped out in this event ..tried going different ways ....but the game wouldn't let me...why put out all the goodies when you can't reach them ?
Angry yes for wasting my time growing black and white buds to play an event that is absolute rubbish
I got 3 star coins whoppee don't think i will be getting the cloud row and givers .... think my patience would have run out by then from the lag in the game trying to seed and harvest fields is becoming a nightmare and nothing is being done about it

AND the Machinery is never on sale for events when it is needed
Love my Farm but I don't want RSI ..which one of my neighbours had to leave her farm because of it

 

I liked this event and managed to get most of the misc prizes and CR with the givers. Much as it would have been nice to get extra givers, we are really out of room Managed to collect 30 PF's and Party spins playing the fields (gave up keeping track of everything else) It would have been great to have a BB or a GB as a reward on one of the fields Thanks for the 2 days of extra ep/tep's

 

I quite liked this event though I did find it disappointing that it was impossible to get everything - unless you don't sleep! I do hate having to choose what to take and what to leave.

I must admit that to put the prizes on the field when they were nigh-on impossible to get was pointless. Unless I was sure of getting it or had no choice of which way to go, I bypassed the prizes and just aimed for the coins. Sometimes I got lucky anyway but I wasn't going to waste my shots for 1 PF ... let alone 1 Mulch!

The prizes were good and I liked that we didn't need to mill anything.

On the other hand, more harvester vouchers would have been nice and, I think somebody has said before, we never seem to get BBs as prizes any more. The cinema is pretty much non-functioning most of the time so BBs are not available other than when leveling up and it takes such a long time to get enough to buy one 48 hour Harvester (only) function even when at half price!

Overall, a pleasant enough event, grow what you want, win what you want but you can't have it all.

 

The game was fun, finished early went for the add on's got all the tree's, animals, pf, sg, gb's one ice fir, everything else nothing new:{
anyone want a chicken??

 

I lost interest in this event due to too much growingand the lag on the soccer field was super disappointingCaused unintended actions resulting in loss of prizes from undesired ball direction. I skipped the CR and it's givers as they were not appealing to me & because G&T was running at the same time, I focused on that.
Prizes in the shop were reasonably pricedReally liked that I could purchase giver items and trade them in the G&T
Experiencing "Event burnout" again......

 

Found the event boring. I'd wish we could choose do a giant ball (5 balls in one if we chose to, 1 ball for those that like playing), so we could play less of the event-game. The pick and choose prize shop is nice. Didn't find the event laggy, and not sidetracked by the mini-event running.

 

Things I liked: Fun game, the applause was kind of addictive, Nice rewards, though like another poster stated, I would have liked to see one or two of the fields offer a golden banana, and a gold coin, and also, a Carrot Apple Chutney. For a newer player like myself, these rewards are so rare that I want as many opportunities to go after them as I can. I didn't have any problems with lag time, and I had no problems getting most of the shots (but that might be because I am a part of the first generation to play video games).

Things I hated: The coins. 3 or 9, 3 or 9. The amount of coins won was way too small for the effort. You could have made some really difficult shots, or "blind" ones (without the angle guide) that would have offered a bonus coin, and given us a bonus coin for reaching halfway and three quarters of the way across the field. The enormous amount of crops. To get anywhere near enough to get all of the things I needed, I would have had to completely rip up my entire farm, and since my barn is still trying to recover from your disastrous barn burner Magic Memories Event, I was not about to do it. So I played on four slightly smaller fields, and used CAC like crazy, and still got nowhere near getting enough flowers to finish the event. And I am just DONE with the constant, unrelenting, back-to-back events. How are we supposed to have time to farm if there's only one day between each event? And don't tell me that doing events is a choice--yes it is, but you purposely design the events to be so appealing/necessary, that we feel we must participate to advance in the game, thus giving you more opportunities to sell stuff. I have no problems with your profit strategy, except to say that if you don't slow down the pace of events, players are just going to stop doing them. The Dog event sounds awesome, but I'm barely going to participate. My barn is more important.

 

I was so excited for the event because it's Football Fever and I really lve football.
I do enjoy it too because it was the first event I participate in.After four days,I just manage to get one football.So for me the things required for one football were very much but the game was very good, how sheep were fighting against the bears(probably) to make a goal.

 

Greetings lovely Farmers
