[QUOTE="Morg, post: 184800, member: 4258"] I bought the Pro Upgrade for Season 1 last time it was on sale for 5 bucks. Other than having a look through the menu I haven't hardly used it for anything other than turning Family Mode off on Scared Stiff -- which seems to be a pretty common result from what I've read here. It's interesting to browse through a couple times, although a lot of the options are irrelevant in the video game and/or disabled. If you love to tinker you can tweak a lot of the game options such as how difficult some of the games challenges are, like how many times you have to do something to trigger multiballs or extra balls and such. And of course you can increase the base number of balls per game. Personally I haven't made much use of those. The "free look" mode is a little better than just watching the camera panning around in attract mode, but still isn't terribly great at letting you get a close-up look at the table's features. On-the-fly ball control is... well... amusing, I guess(you can't just send it wherever you want but you can steer it a fair bit). There's a lot of cool stats some of the games track, but I think they all reset if you leave the table and come back which renders that possibly cool feature fairly pointless along with all the extra high-score lists some games have. It would be neat if we could adjust things like table slope or flipper strength, but no. Oh and you can put in custom messages to display on the DMD so you can make your games swear at you or say horrible things about your friends when they are visiting(not sure if it actually saves the custom messages or not). Or maybe have one of them say "JUST SAY YES TO DRUGS" for once. Still, for 5 bucks it is a huge discount over getting them one by one. I might consider getting it for Season 2, but I'll probably consider it for a while since there's no table in S2 that I've heard numerous people say it is any real benefit to. I'd probably rather get the pack again than just buy it for one table. [/QUOTE]
