Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update Can you believe it, Dad? The World Cup is in full swing! I know! It's yachting's biggest event! No, that's the AMERICA'S Cup. And it's stupid. I'm talking about the-- So much drama! Which billionaire will rise to the challenge, and hire the best sailor to drive his catamaran? I'll be glued to the TV! I'm talking about the Women's World Cup of soccer! Oh. That's the sport where some dudes-- --women, in this case-- --kick a ball around until one of them fakes an injury the best and a winner is declared? Let's just watch the game. Task: "Make Lisa Watch Soccer". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 45 seconds. Task: "Make Homer Watch Soccer". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 45 seconds. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark *snores* Dad, wake up! Why? Did somebody finally score a soccer goal? Almost! ...but then no. Exciting stuff. This sport could really use some cheerleaders and hockey fights. Soccer is the single most popular sport in the world! Bigger than motorcycle polo and bear baiting COMBINED. Which confirms what I've always said: the world is an idiot. It's time for a new sport! A better sport! Task: "Build the Grass Field". Task: "Build the Stadium Entrance". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Have you ever longed for a sport that combines the thrill of selecting a team with the fun of waiting for a long time between matches? Not at all. Then say hello to Tap Ball! Tap Ball takes the best parts of other sports -- dribbling, the infield fly rule, an epidemic of concussions -- -- and adds the excitement of watching people play second-rate video games! That sounds confusing and terrible. Best of all, the only equipment you need is a smartphone, thirteen balls of varying size, bats made of glass... ...some chalk to mark the many end zones, a quaffle, Kevlar body armor and a greedy, narcissistic owner to screw it all up! The town library is crumbling, and you got a Tap Ball stadium built in no time at all. It's easy, when you sell the naming rights. Welcome to Duff Beer Krusty Burger Buzz Cola Costington's Department Store Kwik-E-Mart Stupid Flanders Park! Duff gets to be first because they gave us the most money. People are gonna love it! Task: "Make Homer Pander to Sponsors". The job takes place at the Stadium Entrance and takes 3 minutes. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark So what are the rules of Tap Ball? You ready for this? Because it's gonna blow your mind. The only rule of Tap Ball is... ...THERE... ...ARE... ...NO... ...more than sixty-seven rules. With attached sub-rules, notes, and clarifications. Task: "Make Homer Invent More Rules" (x4). The job takes place at the Stadium Entrance and takes 6 seconds. After completing the job once Rule one: a three-point shot is worth five points. Rule two: attire is business casual, no underwear. After completing the job twice Rule three: with one minute to go in the eighth quarter, the score is always tied. So it's more exciting. Rule four: punching, whether of opponents or teammates, shall be worth two runs. After completing the job three times Rule five: every player must keep both feet on the floor at all times. When running, a hand must also be on the floor. Rule six: only the player with the ball may cry. Rule seven: defense loses championships. I think I get it. I'm not done yet! After completing the task Dad, I have to admit. There's a puncher's chance this new sport of yours will catch on. In that case, I'd like its first bona fide star to be a woman. Sign me up. Great! You'll play the critical position of center left forward back. Your job is to feed me alley-oops. I thought you were the referee. I'm both! And that's how I'll ensure I'm also the greatest Tap Ball player ever. It's why Babe Ruth was a baseball umpire. Baseball is the least important thing in the universe to me, but I'm fairly certain that's not true. My game, my rules! New Character Skins: Referee Homer and Soccer Lisa Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Attendance at last night's Tap Ball game was only 6 people. While that's superior to most MLB games, it is concerning. Attention everyone! Tap Ball stadium is open, and everyone can watch for free! Free? Mr. Simpson, as one of your sponsors, I do not see how that is a good idea. Good sir, I assure you it's all a scam. My motives toward our fans are purely evil. Phew. So it's like every other sport. Not exactly. See Tap Ball is free to try, but then we lure people into buying foam fingers and hats and other useless overpriced stuff that costs real money. So like every other sport, except that it's free to try? No, it's completely differ-- oh hey, you're right. Man, this freemium model has been around forever. Task: "Tap Fans" (x15). Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Great game, everybody! I saw a lot of effort out there. Except for you, Flanders! You stink. Don't ask me why. And your moustache also stinks. It played really lousy today. Appreciate the constructive criticism, coachareeno! Maybe I can train a little more to get better. Message Earn Amateur Bucks through practice jobs and Tap Ball games. Spend your earnings to upgrade your Tap Ball players. Message Upgrading players allows you to face off against stronger opponents for better rewards. Message Upgrading your Tap Ball players also helps your merchandising reach more fans, so don't forget to keep training! Task: "Make Tap Ball Players Practice" (x4). Task: "Upgrade Lisa". Task: "Upgrade Homer". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark It's hard being a team owner, manager and athlete at the same time. How will I find time to improve the stadium, yell at my teammates, drink and nap? Sounds like you need a schedule. You should plan your day, make a time table for yourself and others. Schedules? Time tables? Numbers? These things shouldn't exist in sports. Task: "Complete Daily Training". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8[edit]

Requires Act 2 After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Well, that settles it -- Homer Simpson is a marketing genius. I mean, if there were some sort of theoretical ranking of the most popular sport people came to for the first time -- -- Tap Ball wouldn't even be on it, because it's free. But if there was some list of the most PROFITABLE sports, amazingly Tap Ball would be near the top!. At least from time to time. Depending on if the latest updates to our "sport" were any good. And all because a few individuals, for whatever reason, are willing to spend a lot of money on Tap Ball premium items! Who are these people? I don't know. But they sure are wonderful. If it weren't for their generosity, I could never hire writers to create this hastily thrown together but occasionally funny dialog for me to say. Homer Simpson? Yes? I represent Electronic Arts. We're big fans of Tap Ball, and money in general. We would love to make a video game based on your sport. If you'll sign here, we can have "Simpson's Tapped Ball" in stores in less than two months. They sell video games in stores? For the next few years they still do. Task: "Make Homer Squeeze into a Motion Capture Suit". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark That was a clear violation of rule twenty-four: no running over other players with a foreign-made car. You're right! Totally forgot. Sorry, Carl. No problem. Even I have to admit it was a pretty good squishing. I'm a little worried about how competitive people are getting. Competition is what made America great, back when it used to be great. Sport isn't just about beating your opponents and showing off. What about sportsmanship? Teamwork? Friendly competition? Hmmm... I guess it works for the New England Patriots... I'm going to make up my own version of Tap Ball! One that encourages people to work together. Why would people work as a team to share a prize when they can compete to keep their own prize? People aren't so selfish. You'll see. Message You can now play catch with other Springfields! Throw a ball into their Springfield and they'll throw one back to you! Everyone can work together to win community prizes. Task: "Purchase Sports Ball". Task: "Throw a Ball in Another Springfield". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 10[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Mr. Homer, as a corporate sponsor of Tap Ball, I have grave concerns about this new "Co-operative Mode." A sport where no one loses is a sport that you cannot bet on. We're turning our back on degenerates! It is my duty as a team owner to pretend I disapprove of gambling, while simultaneously doing everything I can to encourage the practice. You're right. Think of the bookies. The poor bookies... Co-operative Mode is un-American! I want losers I can feel sorry for, and winners I can resent for gettin' paid too much! No! Co-operative Mode is sport at its finest! Support Co-operative Mode! Don't listen to her! Support the other thing! Task: "Make Springfielders Support Competitive Mode" (x10). The jobs take place at the Stadium Entrance and take 12 hours.

Pt. 11[edit]

Requires Act 3 After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Co-operative Tap Ball is a hit, sweetie! Now it's time to reward yourself by inventing a slew of arbitrary rules. Really? Well, okay. I guess it'd be nice if we could encourage players to be nice to each other. Great! Rule one: any player who isn't smiling gets ejected and receives a lifetime ban. Rule two: when a player scores, the other team must congratulate her, and they have to mean it. If she feels like maybe they're faking, the game is over. You're doing it, honey! You're power-mad! This is fun! Rule three: if you like a boy on the other team, he has to like you back! Now we're playing some sports! Task: "Make Lisa Invent More Rules". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 24 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 12[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark People seem to be losing interest in Tap Ball. What do I do now? Ach! No sport is interesting for very long without a wee scandal. Got any cheaters in your league? Cheating is part of the game. Literally. If you don't cheat, it's a two-stroke penalty. But what about a good PDD scandal? What's a PDD? Performance-degrading drugs. By which I mean beer. Hey everybody! Follow me to Moe's! We've got a match tonight! Task: "Make Homer Create a Tap Ball Scandal". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 12 hours.

Pt. 13[edit]

After tapping on Referee Homer's exclamation mark Gather 'round, team. Tonight is the championship match. Before we go out there, I want to say how proud I am of you. We've faced a lot of adversity this season. I'm not one for inspiring speeches, but as the team's leader, and a God-like figure in your eyes, I know you crave my peerless leadership. Let's leave it all on the field tonight, guys. Let's have no regrets. Whatever happens in the next ten innings, and the subsequent six quarters, I know you'll give me everything you've got. And I'll make you this promise: That come what may, I'm going to keep changing the rules so that we win 1000-0. There is literally no way for us to lose. We've already won. So do whatever you want out there. I honestly don't care if you even show up. We will still win. By a lot. So let's get out there and DO THIS!!!!!!
