After playing some real tables for the first time in years, I have to say that the flipper physics in TPA leave a lot to be desired.  I felt like the tip of the flipper came much more into play on the real thing, the rubbers don't seem to be as bouncy as on TPA, and there's just a lack of feel to the TPA flippers(which can be hard to recreate, I'm sure).  I was constantly pulling shots to the side


Plus, the flipper sound in TPA needs to be a much louder, "sharper" sound.  I would say the pop bumpers need to be more active and have a more aggressive sound in TPA as well.  They sound a little thin compared to the real thing. 


All in all, you just can't beat the FEEL of the real thing.  Again, it's probably nearly impossible to truly recreate it in digital form, but improving the sound could go a long way towards that end.
