Since we're allowing unlimited restarts, having too few tables means people can just play over and over again until they get a great score. This is what really killed the fun of Pinball FX2 tournaments for me - a single game on some of those tables can take hours as it is, and doing well in a...

Tournament mode still needs a friends rankings list.

I think they should just make the 0.99 version free and remove the free version. Losing 0.99 by letting people play one table for free would likely be easily repaid by the good will that will come from removing this confusing situation, no longer competing with itself for positions on "top...

Love all three, but I think Centaur will be too frustrating on iOS unless the nudging is greatly improved. You really had to bang at just the right time to save balls from the outlanes.

I didn't realize Phil Collins was that short.

enhance, tilt left, zoom, zoom, enhance. Hmm, naw, still can't tell what they're playing. I'll watch Brooke Shields in "Tilt" if I want to see some real pinball. "Even the Whale's gotta come up for air!"

It's different than a "ball saver" which can give you an extra chance at a crappy ball, even if you do hit a few switches. In this case, the ball is in the plunger lane, and the next thing the game knows, it's in the trough. So, did it actually travel down the whole table and drain? Or maybe...

Right - I recently verified by collecting the special and closely watching my score before and after. I did this on ball 4, and got both the points and the multiplier (I don't think you get anything for the eight ball - not sure if you're supposed to). In PHOF (and presumably in the original...

Note that zero score on a ball isn't supposed to be possible without tilting. It should should just put it back in the plunger without charging you. On some games it was often useful to let the ball drop on purpose if it hadn't hit a switch yet, to get another chance at the skill shot.

Yes but the only problem is in the wording of the instructions. You get 1000 times the multiplier for every target you drop, but if you reset the targets you get it right away for the reset ones, not at the end of the ball. One problem is the weird way the numbers are animated - it's...

I don't think that's right - when the targets reset and the lights go out you immediately get full current bonus value (including the multiplier) added to your score. There's nothing to be gained by letting the ball drain.

Right, but it doesn't go faster due to the reduced friction, does it? If there is enough friction for the ball to roll with slipping (and as you can see it takes very little), then the acceleration of the ball is going to be determined by the geometry - angle of flipper and pitch of table - and...

Yeah, like Jeff, one of the reasons I saw this so much is that I've trained myself to quit and reset quickly after the last ball if I didn't get a high score. This isn't really necessary on Big Shot, but I think I've gotten used to doing it to avoid watching the match sequences over and over...

Wow, that was quick. Guess that means I reset more often than I realized. How embarrassing.

I mentioned this in an another thread - if you're going to turn specials into extra balls, then this was a very poor choice for a table. There were many EM tables for which extra balls would be fine, and many had "Add-a-ball" variations for locales where awarding credits was illegal. In this...

Yeah, does seem to mostly happen on ball 1. I want to say it also can happen on ball 2, but can't be sure since it's only been ball 1 since I started paying attention. I know it has happened at least three times in a row on ball 1 after earning a special ( definitely not a necessary condition...

If the friction were too low, the ball would slide instead of rolling. It certainly seems to be rolling to me (will be easier to see when we get special custom balls). If you think it's too fast, then need to reduce gravity or the table pitch. I haven't bought the pro version yet, and not...

It's annoying when it happens, but it's part of the game. It seems to be about 10% of the time for me, usually when I've missed all three of the top rollovers with the plunger (for which I usually feel okay with taking my punishment). Certainly not as bad as Pin*Bot, where it's not unusual to...
