Now I get lag on RBION & TOM, but this is a known issue, and Farsight said they're getting a patch out soon to fix this. Also, playing in 720p instead of 1080p is supposed to help in the meantime, but I haven't tried it.2.) Yes, the camera angles do vary from table to table....and more camera options are always a plus. I'm still hoping for a completely customizable camera angle sometime in the future.3.) Real pinball machines drain a lot too....perhaps TPA might drain a bit more in some cases because the physics are less random than real life, but that also works to your advantage in some cases as well because it's often a little easier to predict where the ball is going. However, you absolutely have to nudge. There are a ton of balls that can be saved from doom with just one nudge. Just keep practicing, and you'll get better at it. My advice is to start out with working on extending your flippers in the middle by nudging left or right when the ball is heading for the middle and it's just out of your reach. You'll be amazed at how many balls are actually reachable that you thought were too far away before. With the outlanes, start out with forward nudging, just to get used to the idea of nudging the ball up and away from the drains (think of yourself as a goalie, if that helps), and then incorporate directional nudges once you get better at predicting the bounces....hope that helps.And as far as draining in general goes, always remember that you only drain when you miss shots, so working on your aim is the #1 way to extending your ball durations....good aiming is much more important than good nudging.</blockquote>
