[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 238934, member: 4106"] Well, who knows. FS have been known to reach out to the VP community for help. Maybe they've gone to that well again to help with a new physics engine. From the description of the new engine, it seems they're dropping emulation and all that messy overhead for essentially scripting tables, but in a far more detailed and less guesswork way (i.e. by actually running the same code as the tables). Maybe that can come with an increase in frame-rate. Allowing tables to run at 120Hz or 144Hz is going to improve the granularity. Ideally you just want a physics model where everything is emergent behavior. Things like live catches just "happen", as a result of ball velocity and spin. [/QUOTE]
