    New iOS update sucks

    Hey, those of you who (like me) who have ios and are frustrated with the new Stern games they recently bought which are stuttering can access them stutter free if they have the Pinball Arcade Stern app. I almost forgot I had downloaded that app months ago but I just tried it and AC/DC and Star...

    How do I find the Hall of Fame screen to check my points?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to find where I look up my HoF points or see my ranking. I used to be able to do that but I don't see the access button any longer. Sometimes it will give me the option when i start a game but I haven't even seen that lately. If it matters...

    First Impressions

    Thanks FlippyFloppy & Pinballwiz for the responses. I'll guess they'll fix the issue with fathom high scores eventually.

    First Impressions

    I really like this game. I'm playing fairly long and satisfying games and understand the rules as far as i can tell. For a while a I was in the top 12 or so, 9 for a little bit. But all of a sudden, during the past week I think, I'm in like 5000th place and the people who are ahead of me have...

    First Reactions

    no extra balls on iOS. Hope they fix it soon. I always lived for extra balls more than free games. Also, not awarding hof points. My opinion of the game is that it is only fair, even for a gotlieb. Saying it's better than BB isn't saying much.

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    Interesting thread, Rich. There are various games I've gone back to which I originally didn't care for but wanted to try them again to try to improve my HoF or high scores ranking. Some of the simpler old games are like that, like Big Shot and Genie. I thought I'd enjoy the old game from my...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    I thought I'd enjoy EBD more. But certain games which could be fun as long playing games are too frustrating with drains at the speed of light with no way to react, like this game. But at least the shots are accurate on Eight Ball. Games like Junkyard are terrible because it's too hard to be...

    PC Tourney #6, 2015-12-04: AFM, BRose, CC, CP, CV, MM, NF, T2

    My last post did indeed seem to indicate I'm against 20 minute limit tournaments. I'm not. I really like having the time limit of 20 minutes. I was just making a point that I was having trouble changing my game play for games that I know well, both from the arcade and in Pinball Arcade, on some...

    Congratulations to Toolinit, Crooker and the other players who came in ahead of me in the Gold division. I had a personal best final ranking in a tournament this time of 7th and it might be the first time I've had a 1st place for a table (Black Rose), and boy, did I try hard to do even better...

    Tips and tricks

    Thank you Slam23 for the tips. Before reading your post I just wasn't backhanding that left shot. I don't know why I had not been because I'm no stranger to backhanding. I just hadn't been doing it. Anyway, my game improved. I hate doing it, but I just let four balls drain because I needed to...

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    Gus, What I observe is not what you experience. OK, i can't explain that. Even in arcades with original machines, my experience has been that ramps get harder to get the ball up through, other shots become more difficult, balls drain faster, etc., with better play. And I'm not talking about the...

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    invitro, I looked you up in the downloadable database. You are a good player so you should have observed the physics of the machines changing as you get good scores like I do. Have you not experienced this? Unless of course there is a difference between the PC version which I see you play and...

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    TPA tables that get super hard after you score well and make the game not fun anymore, sometimes soon after they come out. It's like there is an artificial barrier to getting better and mastering a table. When I played real games in the arcades I generally did master the current game I was...
