[QUOTE="3waycombo, post: 91839, member: 3261"] I wouldn't necessarily focus on adding or changing controls, but using motion capture to accurately reproduce the way ball moves, most notably the way it moves in response to the flippers. There are a lot of intricate techniques that do require moving the machine in combination with pressing the flipper buttons but I wouldn't focus so much on that. I'd just like to see the physics be directly related to real world data, which motion capture video would provide. I suppose in order to get a full understanding of how flippers interact with the ball and translate that to the software, you'd not only need to analyze a pinball wizard's game, but also really bad players and everything in between. I bet the software engineers could make some good use of all that data. If they're going to use it to make the live catches and the skill tactics realistic, I guess they should make the flipper fumbles feel like the real deal to eh? [/QUOTE]
