[QUOTE="Pop Sergeant, post: 40874, member: 920"] [b]Power Ball (PB)[/b] TABLE: TZ BETA 2 Okay. I don't think this is a show stopper, but in keeping with the FS goal of producing accurate recreations ... (and ignoring the RL white PB vs. the TPA many-shades-of-gray-depending-on-your-device PB observations) I found this specification on the IPDB regarding the power ball (PB) [COLOR=#0000cd][B][URL]http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=2684[/URL] [/B][/COLOR] [I][B]The "Powerball" is a ceramic pinball about 20% lighter than a steel pinball, much faster, and not affected by the game's magnets. [/B][/I] I do think it's lighter, or has less mass ... try trapping a steel ball (SB) vs. a PB out of the slot machine ... SB bounces and drops back down to the flipper and can be trapped (100%) while PB bounces high enough to contact the top of the right sling and falls into the right in-lane (100%) assuming you don't freak and try to nudge it. I do know for a fact (with the RL PB diverter bug being perfectly reproduced in TPA) that the power field magnets have little to no effect on it. ... but .... Faster? "Much Faster", even? If anything I'd say it's slower and more prone to a bad case of the "floaties". Show stopper: No, to be honest, not really. Game Play Impact: Minor (Casual Player), End-of-the World (Pinhead on a mission) Recreation Accuracy: Not so much. I'm wondering if anyone else shares that observation and/or feels strongly about the recreation accuracy at this point. [/QUOTE]
