Im just a Little confused Right now: are there leaderboards for each table via gamecenter?
Or ist there just the "Hall of Fame" leaderboard?

When i Look into the gamecenter-App, the only thing i See are the Hall of Fame Scores of my Friends and me, but
There is no link to any leaderboards concerning the tables.

Same thing ingame. Just MY Scores in the "Friends" leaderboards, Thats it.

Changed to iOS and then no real leaderboards? Cannot be!

Yeah no table ones other than in TPA app itself.

Thanks dumpstar.
So the ingame Friends-leaderboard is just for my Facebook Friends?
Gamecenter Friends can only compete via the Hall-of-fame-Score, right?

Just to clarify this point a little, it seems unlikely Farsight will be implementing Game Center leaderboards the way we all want them to any time soon. Until fairly recently, Game Center only supported 20 leaderboards per game, which is obviously not enough to have one leaderboard per table.

The current limit is 100, which is enough for the current selection of tables, but won't be forever.

The limit increases to 500 if you bundle your leaderboards into sets, and this seems like the obvious solution for Pinball Arcade, (one set per season). Except leaderboard sets were only introduced in iOS 7, and aren't available at all on OS X, yet.

I, for one, would be pretty upset if Pinball Arcade were to introduce an iOS 7 requirement. (At least until my iPad 1 finally kicks the bucket, which hopefully won't be for a while, yet).

For months now I'm looking at "moo" at the top of the gamecenter leaderboards with 30.000 points and some change, and then out of nowhere there now today appears a snoop_killah at the top with an incredible 34.000. Now I know it's a lot of hard work to get in the 20.000 point region, and I never once saw this player come up the ranks. He must be one hell of a player who just did this in a couple of days, or something is up?
And there is no such score or player in the TPA HOF leaderboard I might add, and you can't have a gamecenter score without also having a TPA score. Fishy I say!
Update as of january 2014: the faux score is removed from Gamecenter, maybe it got there by accident

I never noticed this thread but was always searching random people on Game Center who might play and sent a few requests to top players on The Pinball Arcade. My Game Center ID is: Mongolo1d. I will send some friend requests now!
