New June Tournament for iOS & Android starting 6/13/2014

[Pinetwig]

Was just about to post about the Firepower high score in gold division; 8.3 M.

So it not a deliberate hack? How do the table glitch, is it the end of game bonus looping I've read about but never seen myself?

 

[pinballchris]

I can't see your score Extork, so wasn't talking about you or any leaders on any table, but overall there are always players there you don't see during regular play and show up here for one tourney any somehow are really good.

The loop never ended for me, the app shut down I think. Pinetwig, yeah, just keeps going. I wouldn't worry about it, I had it happen to me on Scared Stiff in a tourney where jackpot was awarded a few more times than it should have, not much you can do.

well, deliberate or not, one cannot score 8-9 M on firepower in 20 minutes and something should be done about it.

anyway, it seems that iOS version is really broken. On android the only issue I have is that the game does not start after pressing start. Only the first time after selecting the table and only after restart but not after finishing the game.

Will someone please fix Firepower. Now, I won an extra ball on the 3rd ball with a good score and it went into an infinite bonus count and still going. How can we play these tables if we don't even know if the score will count. And please get these cheaters off the scoreboards. Guys not even on the radar in regular play and leading the pack? Don't think so.

That infinite bonus count bug has been there since release. I remember hitting it when it first came out. I've hit it a few times and always on a good game. And there is nothing you can do.

Of course something should be done. But rarely does. MOO had some insane scores in previous tournaments that never got dealt with for example.

Only bug I yet to came across on Android is the one you just mentioned on Big Shot.

Pretty tough to trust the game you are playing if you are unsure if it will count. Obvious bugged tables like this should not be included in tourneys.

Worst tourny ever?

Yeah, I almost dread having a good game on Firepower. I assumed the issue would clear up when we got emulation for Firepower, but it still hasn't come.

On a positive note, bk2k has been fun as hell. Even if I'm not putting up the best scores for it

The only issue I've had with firepower is the freeze at the end of the 3rd ball. Tilting out fixes it and ends the game. In fact I've never seen the infinite bonus count on firepower on any version of iOS.
As for the players who show up in the tourneys and not on the leaderboards probably has more to do with good players who just don't have the time (or patience) to grind away for hours at one table.

 

[Crooker]

Have had no issues at all with any tables in this tourney. Other than BK2 love every table in this one. Having the my best tourney yet. I don't have a lot of high scores in regular play but the tables here are ones I enjoy and do like to play just for fun. I can barely run my iPhone never mind figure out how to cheat. Being middle aged makes me a bit of a computer dinosaur but I've been playing pinball since I was a kid.

Just got a score that would have put me in top three in Cue Ball. Was on about 1.5 billion with about a minute to go when I was presented with screen to enter initials. Tried to enter initials but could not input letters properly. Game then froze with timer still ticking down and ended up being credited with a score of 0! Not the first time this has happened.
Playing on iPad by the way.

Buzz1126 is heading for the gold. Watch your back he's kickin butt

 

[Iguana]

Made it to 640 million plus on MB (my least favorite of the tables in this tournament) and my former high score remains. Currently ranked 9 in the tourney, so it really irks me that the MB score isn't registering, as it would have likely moved me up a notch or two.

Just had to vent.

But those players would be present in the past tournaments no? I am not calling out anyone in particular, but if you don't post here or I don't see you on invitro's leaderboard, I am going to be suspicious when you come into a tournament and show up 85% of everyone else.

Yeah fair enough point, I just don't want to jump to any conclusions about cheating. I'll agree that there are a lot of names I don't recognize this time around.
Btw nice Firepower score with that 2,753,250!
The two top scores on firepower are a little annoying considering they're most likely bonus count glitches.

Well I appreciate the thought but not quite You're putting up some great scores as well.

It happens and it's only a game

I think that's because this tournament is for mobile only and we see only people that play on mobile, while on general leaderboard you can see everybody. 99% of them are not from mobile.
