[QUOTE="Ben Logan, post: 239072, member: 5468"] I'm wondering if we might be better served by reaching out to Stern directly with requests for vastly improved physics. Stern is putting their name to this product. The fact that Pro Pinball's twenty year old physics are night vs day superior is such a sad commentary on TPA realism. TPA is like playing tennis on a gorgeously surfaced court, with Toys R Us racquets. Such a seemingly simple fix: Reprioritize to invest in the essential tools that make the game reflective of its real world counterpart. If part of Stern's approach is "try ACDC or Ghostbusters digital before you buy the real thing" real pinball afficiandos will be absolutely turned off by TPA's railroad floaty physics. We need a serious rewrite of flipper and ball code. Anything less will be bad PR for Stern's real pinball business. Who knows someone at Stern to whom we may appeal as fans / consumers? Now is our chance. Otherwise we'll be complaining for years to come, again! :P [/QUOTE]
