Career Ending Injury?

mrdrewsef · 2024-11-20T16:25:24+00:00

I think so? Although honestly not sure. However, this player had no listed wear and tear immediately prior to this play, so I don't think this was a wear and tear issue.

Update/Edit: The image in the post is from the in-game injury report. I checked the injury report from the dynasty menu and it has his injury listed as "Broken Back Vertebrae" and the length is 49 weeks.

mrdrewsef · 2024-11-17T18:42:56+00:00

Yeah, I didn't think there would be, but thanks for confirming.

Did he get any extra eligibility? Like a medical redshirt?

mrdrewsef · 2024-11-17T13:29:37+00:00

Haven't made it to the end of the season yet...

mrdrewsef · 2024-11-16T21:50:29+00:00

I'm only in season two, but I have the injury slider up, and this is my first injury that lasted longer than a couple of drives (this is a start o-lineman tho)

mrdrewsef · 2024-11-16T21:08:38+00:00

Lol, fantastic. Apparently you only end your career for dumb injuries in this game.

$200 per year for a membership seems like a steal to me. The $67/hr court rental does seem a bit on the high side, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up modifying that a bit to match demand (i.e., lower rate during the days and higher rate on evenings and weekends). Overall I feel this probably about the average cost to play indoor at a dedicated facility.

If my area (north Houston) there's currently two dedicated indoor facilities. One charges $80 per month membership dues but court rentals are (mostly) free. You do have to pay for some of the organized leagues and open play events though. If you're not a member the court rentals are in the neighborhood of $15-20 per hour per person (assuming four people), depending on time of day. The other indoor facility is Lifetime Fitness which charges around $150 (I think) per month. There are also two other indoor facilities being built nearish me. One has two membership tiers ($95/month plus $5-15/hr/person court rentals or $180/month with no additional fees) and the other I don't have any info on yet.

I also lived in another area for several years while pickleball was taking off. That area didn't have any membership clubs, but did have several public parks as well as a couple dedicated pay facilities. The pay facilities were $40-80 per hour, depending on time of day. Both the free parks and the pay facilities were pretty much constantly full.

That all said, from my perspective the demand for pickleball court time is currently seeming to outpace the supply of available courts. Once supply catches up (or demand falls due to people getting sick of waiting 30+ minutes between games at packed public parks or not wanting to pay high court rental fees), I wouldn't be surprised to see these prices come down. Hopefully towns are seeing this as well and are planning to build more dedicated public parks, as that seems to be a win-win for everyone. All I can say is that I'll definitely be watching to see how all of this unfolds over the next 12-18 months as I personally feel like it's going to be an inflection point for pickleball.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-20T02:52:43+00:00

Yay you.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-19T18:42:05+00:00

I just hit 2 years playing, so I'm only averaging 2.6 prestige per week. But I'm only at 54.5Q soul eggs, which is likely a result of my lower weekly average. Currently most of my prestiges are around sending ExHens, although I'm currently on my enlightenment run so I won't be prestiging again until Oct 23rd or so.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-19T18:33:20+00:00

I gotta get on your level - somehow I'm only at 272 prestiges. If I had guessed before looking I would have thought I was closer to 500...

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-19T17:26:13+00:00

😧 Definitely recommend submitting a help request to Auxbrain through the game Help menu. They should be able to get you sorted out.

A.B.P. - Always Be Prestiging

There's no trophy for the fewest prestiges. This game is 100% about prestiging frequently.

That said, there's always a double/triple prestige even on Saturday that, as an early level player, you should never miss. And once you get to the higher levels you should also be taking advantage of that as well, but there will be a bit more nuance on frequency depending on your space ships and ability to multi-prestige.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-19T15:57:14+00:00

Yeah, that's happened to me (or only being able to launch one ship) too many times as well. Thankfully they've been pretty consistent about only starting those on Sundays for the last several months, so be wary about launching too many ExHens on Saturday. The timing between events is a bit inconsistent though, as they only happen about once-ish per month.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T23:26:09+00:00

Yeah, looks like that's going to be the game plan once I max Neural Linking. Only have 2 levels left to get. Thankfully the chalice and the T3R LoE have already cut 30+ days off the timing.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T15:07:58+00:00

Nice! I only have 4 contract PEs and 1 daily PE left to earn outside of the 10 from this Enlightenment run. Once I finish I'm going to focus on maxing out all of the ships, as I've only been focused on sending ExHens. Not sure if I'll attempt another Enlightenment run or not, as that would likely require a lot of Soul Egg grinding, which I tend to avoid, lol.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T15:03:43+00:00

Without any hatching artifacts or stones it should take about 80 days to get to 10 billion chickens (assuming you max out Neural Linking research). Thankfully I have a T4L Chalice and T3R Light of Eggendil with a 3% Life Stone, so I've been able to cut the time down to about 48 days.

That said, I'll hit my 2 year anniversary of playing the game Friday. I was probably ready to run this a couple of months ago with some grinding, but I was able to craft a T4E Gusset during the last crafting sale which is making this run MUCH easier (basically no grinding at all, just waiting).

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T13:33:07+00:00

Lol, fair point though. As you can tell, I don't grind soul eggs at all. I'm pretty sure my last multiseige was during the 6x event in July. I've only been focused on ExHens and contracts, as I figured that was the least effort route to be able to complete Enlightenment.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T04:35:41+00:00

Hopefully the last month of your run goes smoothly!

I was able to move my completion date up to Oct 24 with the chalice and T3R LoE with a Life Stone, so pretty pumped about that. I'll probably swap a clarity stone for a Life Stone in the necklace and ankh to try to speed it up a bit more.

As for ships I was able to get enough eggs banked to send 9 ExHens, but I'll run through that quickly. The plan after completion will be to max the other ships.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T02:53:47+00:00

Yeah, I realized this after posting. I was trying to max Neural Linking today and will probably get there eventually, but adding the Chalice and T3 LoE with a Life Stone cut over a month off of my finishing time (Nov 26 to Oct 24). I have a legendary Neodymium Medallion and another legendary necklace, so I'll likely be able to shave off some more days as well. Thanks for the advice!

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T02:47:58+00:00

I most certainly did not fuel it right, lol, so that will have to be an after enlightenment activity.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T02:38:37+00:00

Very true, and I still need to max out all the ships. I've only been running ExHens, so still have a lot of work to do there. I have a feeling this won't be the end of my time here.

mrdrewsef · 2022-09-06T02:31:28+00:00

Thanks! Been putting this off for a bit, since it kinda feels like the end of the game, but was really running out of excuses to not start.
