Re the confirmed tables table from the first page of this thread I just noticed that Firepower, Whirlwind and No Good Gofers is in there but they aren't in the confirmed tables thread? do we have confirmation of these tables?

I was told that all tables from the PHOF:WC were coming to TPA except Jive Time. Sorcerer is still up in the air which is why I haven't listed it.

I hope Sorcerer makes the cut. I liked that table.

 

[Brian Clark]

I hope Sorcerer makes to too. I like Jive Time better than I used to after playing more, but I still don't like it since it's too random. Definitely don't want to see it. I hope another Williams EM comes when they get around to it.

 

[PiN WiZ]

I would like to see Sorcerer as well, I'm just wondering why this table is still up in the air.

 

[Bowflex]

Sorcerer can be frustrating in terms of achieving goals and such but I think there is a really nice flow to the game and I find it really fun. I hope it makes the cut.

UPDATE Android update 1.0.7 is AVAILABLE NOW!

 

[ND3G]

Is anyone having trouble downloading the latest Android update? I can see that there is an update but I can't choose the option to install it.....

Samsung Galaxy 10.1

EDIT: Finally got it to work after a few more attempts.

 

[Brian Clark]

If possible, I would like to see a Mickey Mouse table inspired by Sorcerer, as well.

Because it was crappy.

 

[Jeff Strong]

I like Sorcerer....and hey, it was good enough that Zen basically stole the layout for their Rocky and Bullwinkle table....which makes it one of the few Zen tables that actually feels sort of like a real table (it's one of my favorite PBFX 2 tables because of that).

 

[PiN WiZ]

Because it was crappy.

Wow! You're probably the first person I've ever known to flat out slam Sorcerer.

Count me in. From the sounds, to the board, to the rules, to the lousy multiball, I hate Sorcerer.

i would really prefer not to clutter my news post by citing sources for everything i post. I assure you that i only post news and information that comes directly from farsight. If anyone ever sees any miss information (farsight included), please bring it to my attention.

... I just realized i'm living with miss information !!!

I will admit that it isn't Strikes N' Spares bad, but it was one of the weakest tables in PHOF, and there are a lot of better tables they should concentrate on instead. While I'm at it, I wish they'd also leave off Firepower and Black Knight, but I don't think that's going to happen.

That's two...anybody else want to get their licks in? I guess my phone's not as smart as I thought it was.

Now I can agree with you on that one.

hehe, I picked up a dyslexic phone .... didn't want to pay for a data plan ....

but getting back to the topic at hand, these days I am finding pinball to be a real joy all around ... The Pinball Arcade, Zen, and Pinballistik. Because I have not played 98% of real pinball tables, any new one offered is new to me and a joy to have. As I learn what tables are confirmed for release in the upcoming month, I check out videos of the real tables on You Tube ... and it seems to me each table has its good and bad points. I have been stoked about the Bride of Pin*Bot coming but for us PS3 / Vita players, we are still in waiting.
