[QUOTE="Gus, post: 223712, member: 4188"] What makes you think you can't nudge easily? I don't see much difference tbh, I'd even go as far as saying that all top scores are obtainable on a mobile device, but take that with a grain of salt as there are some really sick scores. I can reliably pause games over night on my iPad and pick up where I left off the next day, but it takes a LOT of dedication to play games that long. I get bored after a while. Nudging takes a bit of getting used to, but it does on other platforms as well. Once you really have that down it's second nature and makes a huge difference. Sure, it's a small advantage for those playing with a controller to be able to nudge softly, but most of the time a full power nudge gets the job done. I think (?) Tarek and Vikingerik both only play with full nudges. You and other top players have played the game enough to "crack the system" to a degree. You can anticipate the ball movement in advance. You know when to nudge, when to deadpass etc and which shots are safe. At that point you can pretty much play any table and score very high on just a few attempts. It's the same game on mobile platforms. One minor difference I have seen is that specific railroad shots on PC don't work the same for me (e.g. lock kick-out on F2k), but other iOS players have reported the same PC railroad bounces working 100% for them on mobile so there are differences even within the same platform.
