Also, with early Zen tables, the ball felt super heavy and there was no bounce to be had which bugged me a bit. So I played TPA 90% of the time and Zen would get a burst of play here and there, usually when a new table came out. Since FX3, I have found myself playing it 70% of the time and it all has to do with the tournaments and matchup modes. Pinball is most fun when competing, and Zen has really captured that. Leaderboards don't excite me, but seeing a score pop up that I'm about to beat while playing? Oh hell yeah. A whole slew of new user tournaments every day? Sure, why not pop in for a couple. Matchup is very similar to the TPA tourneys, which I find to be grind fests and have completely stopped playing. I'm not at that point yet with Zen, if only because the 3 minute timer keeps the scoring within reach.I should mention too, had a friend over yesterday and wanted to show him something in TPA. He has never played it before, was navigating through the menus with mouse and keyboard instead of my controller. He got so frustrated trying to exit a table and then the game itself because identifying the correct button to select and even finding it wasn't intuitive to him. I've been playing the game since the beginning, so I'm used to it. This is the first time I've seen first hand what others on this forum have complained about. He also was highly disappointed in having to exit the game to get to the launch utility to then set up graphics rather than being able to do it in game. I'm right there with him on that front.</blockquote>
