    iOS Version 2.9.0 Discussion and Feedback

    Gotta say I'm very didappointed with this release. Graphics are the worst of any table pack so far, the cameras are way too zoomed out on both tables and how the crap could that tiny ball bug in Victory slip through? Rubbish. T2 is the only exception to the downward spiral of season two. If...

    I hate Stern

    Might add that I learned playing pinball on Williams and Bally tables in the early 90's, and that's what I'm mostly used to playing. I guess it takes a while to get used to the Stern type of tables. But even so, I will argue that Stern tables feel much cheaper quality wise.

    I hate Stern

    No, some were of course in better condition than others, AC/DC being the best, probably because it was "new", but the feeling of quality is still much less than of the older Williams or Bally tables. Avatar was decent but not good, Rolling Stones were awful, Simpsons Pinball Party as well (loved...

    I hate Stern

    I was at an amusement park playing pinball this week and they had some 20+ tables of which all but two where Stern, most of them quite new. And damn, I hated them all! While the rule sets and play fields can be good, the mechanics are just crap. Flippers feel like they are using rubber bands -...

    iPad4, iOS 7.0.2 Tee'd Off multiball bug: Sometimes the camera doesn't zoom the plunger when multiball starts. This makes it impossible to continue since the balls are not fired automatically. Only solution is to "call the attendant" and lose at least one of the balls. This has happend all...

    Pinball Arcade better than real pinball?

    Real pinball tables are mechanical. It's just not possible to fully recreate the feeling of magnetic or other mechanical gadgets in a digital remake. In a videogame you can create anything, there's no limit of physics like in the real world. What i love most about pinball is the amazing things...

    How much would an Addams Family pinball kickstarter be?

    Joint venture. Marvel/Disney probably gets >90% of the profits.

    Pack 18 Screenshots?

    Yes, but then we are talking about a complete overhaul of the TPA gfx engine, not just changing the lighting color on a particular table. We're talking TPA 2 here in that case - a completely new game.

    Pack 18 Screenshots?

    But that's just it. TPA doesn't look close to the real tables and never will. Unless they spend a year per table or use pre-rendered graphics like Pro Pinball does it will never look like the real thing. That's why i prefer it to be a bit blurry and muddy, because the crisper the image, the more...

    Pack 18 Screenshots?

    I definetely prefer the dullness of the first version over the cold blue in the adjusted version. I don't like when the colors are too crisp, it makes it look like a Visual Pinball table. I'd actually like some smoothing filter option on all tables.

    Ÿour LEAST favorite tables?

    Last time I played Scared Stiff, I stopped after 40 minutes when I was still on ball one having achieved four extra balls. I don't like tables where an average game passed the thirty minute mark. I rarely play the EM tables. Since I don't have any personal relation to them in real life, the...

    Pinball Arcade better than real pinball?

    Actually, I was thinking just the opposite the other night when me and a friend went to an amusement park to play pinball. One game still costs 5 kr here in Sweden which is less than a dollar. It's the same price as when I was playing during lunch breaks in junior high in the early 90's. Me and...
