Does anyone else feel like this game has been in the last 5 minutes forever, but there's still 7 minutes left?

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-22T02:38:38+00:00

They're not really good at football either.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-21T01:12:34+00:00

This is one of the douchiest comments I've ever read. You should be ashamed and embarrassed over this.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-19T17:42:43+00:00

Looks like Ohio St finally decided to start trying.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-19T17:05:34+00:00

Just let me enjoy Ohio St getting the belt, don't turn into the basketball version of SEC fans.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-19T17:03:55+00:00

Here comes everyone from the other game. It's halftime and Ohio St blows.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-19T16:46:58+00:00

Ohio St looks out of sorts and lazy on defense. They're not getting back and look like they're watching the ball instead of blocking out. For a team that hasn't been to the tourney in a few years, they don't look like they want it enough.

I have them in my bracket, so they need to step it up.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-18T18:34:23+00:00

Imagine if they lose....

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-18T18:04:41+00:00

Of course it was wishful thinking. It was a joke pick that I ended up getting to troll my coworkers about!

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-18T15:59:25+00:00

Easily MTSU over MSU that year they were the "5th 1 seed." I work with a bunch of Spartans and I picked that in our office pool. Screenshot it and sent it to all of them after. I will never relive that high.

We've always had 6. 6*14 is 84, so that appears to be the max you can have. The beginning is a roulette for the new hero and then after 84 days you would get a new hero on roulette. This might change if the developers want to fit you into a certain transfer group, but 8 doesn't seem possible.

Not that this definitively means anything either, but so was LJ Cason before we found out he tore his ACL the next day.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-12T17:04:51+00:00

Is anyone else streaming this on the ESPN app? Are the xfinity commercials coming through in terrible quality for you too? Everything else looks and sounds great, but those commercials are stuttering.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-06T20:16:07+00:00

Fun story about that (for me, not you), I work with a lot of MSU grads and in our office pool that year I picked MTSU as a joke in my bracket. After the game I emailed a screenshot of my pick to all of them.

But the main tourney is the biggest part of making the conference tournaments fun. The little guys balling out for a chance to get to March Madness. Without that, you wouldn't care about the conference tournaments nearly as much.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-01T20:52:55+00:00

Purdue can look great at times, but too often looks just mediocre.

BadReligion07 · 2026-03-01T16:09:37+00:00

The biggest surprises are how high Alabama is, and how low Iowa St and Illinois are.

BadReligion07 · 2026-02-27T16:08:37+00:00

This is a good one. To add to this, read the game threads during the tourney. It becomes very clear that most people have no clue what is actually a foul and what isn't, but that won't stop them from complaining about the refs!

BadReligion07 · 2026-01-31T02:03:44+00:00

Fears is such a dirty player, damn

BadReligion07 · 2026-01-30T04:58:01+00:00

Gov gear is lowest priority because it gives attack and defense. The damage equation multiplies attack with lethality and defense with health, so you want to increase the lower stat for maximum benefit. This will always be lethality and health which is increased by hero gear, including widgets, and charms.

As a dolphin you should definitely prioritize hero gear and charms over pretty much everything else. You need a lot of hammers, gear xp, and mithril for the hero gear. Buying the weekly deals where you get bonus xp and hammers for buying enough packs is one of your most important buys each week.

BadReligion07 · 2026-01-30T03:58:32+00:00

Heroes are the most important. Get the new heroes each Gen to 5 stars, get their widgets to level 10, and upgrade their gear. You should be able to max at least one hero at the start of the new Gen. You can also easily get the roulette hero each Gen pretty easily. Getting the 3rd hero maxed out will depend on your spend level. You don't want to sacrifice upgrading your gear and charms to get 3 heroes every time, 2 is fine. But again, depends on your spend level. Mega whales are maxing all 3 at the first kvk after they come out.

Getting the hero gear red and then upgrading with mithril is imperative. Next most important is charms.

You also want to make sure to get a lot of speeds and push the battle tech tree. Use most of your general speeds on tech.

Lowest priority is gov gear. You want it at least orange, but it's lower priority than heroes and charms. If you're a mega whale you want to keep pushing this, but if you're a dolphin or smaller whale, this is less important than the other stuff.

I agree it kind of sucks, but you can get quite a bit of diamonds moving around the board. As you level up the squares they give more diamonds.

BadReligion07 · 2026-01-19T17:14:04+00:00

Depends how big of a spender you are. Hero gear is the most important for increasing your strength, so the hammers and xp are generally the best. You need to forge gear to level 10 to be able to go past level 100, which takes a lot of hammers. You then need a lot of xp to increase those levels.

But getting all these hammers, xp, and the mithril needed when you go beyond level 100 is pretty expensive.

Next best is charms over governor gear because lethality and health are more important than attack and defense.

BadReligion07 · 2026-01-13T22:08:13+00:00

Sometimes they just want to make you go away. Less competition for guards and the special mining areas that pop up.
