While playing today, I encountered this weird random event where my player received an invitation to a baseball game in the third week of third year March. The letter was anonymous and didn't contain tickets. It was a fate card decision and I chose Challenge. My guy thought to himself that there was no ticket. But I had one from a Surprise bag.

My guy went and met A-Rod. They trained together and my guy's stats all raised 2 letter grades, my trajectory up 1, and I got 5, seemingly random abilities, trash talk, intimidator, spider catch, breakup DP, and BL hitter. Has anyone else gotten this event?

I'm thinking it was triggered because I had the game ticket.

































































































Or because it's APRIL FOOLS DAY!

That's exactly what I expected after reading about half. 5 abilities? Wouldn't happen from random event.Even if you didn't expect it from reading. You should catch on after scrolling about halfway

maybe I should have just left it at one ability, intimidator.

But for all those save/loaders, none of them would've accepted a game ticket from a surprise bag, would they? No, they would've s/l'ed for g-ring or SoD/P/H.

You had me through the first paragraph -lol- Reason being is that is sounds a lot like the RE where Marvin and you get the anonymous letter that ends up being the equivalent of a "Secrets" book. But on those I've either gotten a SoD/SoH equivalent (gaining an ability) or gotten a 1 point boost to FLD or RUN SPD. So yeah, a more conservative 2nd paragraph and it would have been completely believable :)

You had me too since it was similar to the letters from major leaguers and the baseball tickets. And training wit a-rod is something I could see happening in this game.
