"regular season" vs "playoffs"?  custom tournaments?, use best score or most recent score?, ...?) - +1 on multiple difficulty settings with their own leaderboards. - +1 on saved custom camera angles for each table. - On-line multiplayer?  Hmm.  I'm skeptical because I'm not sure I want to wait around for Sean Don Carlos to finish his ball (and any extra balls) on Twilight Zone.</blockquote>
