[QUOTE="FurVid, post: 4448, member: 19"] Yes, this happens a lot on this table, and I feel somewhat to blame for it. When the table was released on the iPad I pointed out on the Facebook page that the attendant would come even when balls weren't really stuck - you could just trap one on a flipper and they'd come over and put it in the plunger lane for you. Now, of course, it's harder to cheat, but much more likely the game will be ruined due to a glitch. Glitches like this certainly don't happen every game, but the chances of a game-ending glitch increase with game length, so many of my best efforts are wasted. I hate having millions of points early on in the game and worrying about whether I'll actually get to record the score. And of course there are plenty of other problems - like being able to flip the ball when it's in below the lower table's left flipper, the roll under at the top of the table, etc., etc., etc. I've bought this table seven times now, and I think the PSP one was probably the least glitchy, but all have had pretty annoying problems. Farsight - if your playtesters aren't finding stuff like this, get more of them (where do I sign up?) or give them more time - if they're finding this stuff but you're deciding it's not worth the trouble to fix, please consider that many of the reviews that people will be reading about this game are going to be based on the early versions, and it's really a shame that a system with such great potential is tarnished by problems that seem like they should be pretty easy to fix (even if some might be tough, many clearly are not), so maybe take a little more time to get them right.
