[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 268202, member: 134"] Just because you see ball spin in Zen doesn't mean it actually exists. After all, you can also see ball spin in TPA, and we know it doesn't exist. I have never had a ball in Zen do the crazy things a ball on a freshly waxed play field with fresh rubber will. I'd even posit that if the ball were to do some of those things while playing either TPA or Zen, we'd all call bullsh!t immediately and say it's completely unrealistic. I say that because if it weren't for me standing there playing a physical machine and seeing the ball actually do what it does, I wouldn't think it possible what I've sometimes seen happen. I've even had a ball 'go through the flipper' on a real table, in that it touched the rubber while having tremendous backspin and jumped right over the bat to drain. I think if we could have even more random behavior for the ball from whatever it collides with, that would go a log way towards selling us the illusion. There is an uncanny valley though, where the closer to real we get, the more flaws we're gonna see. [/QUOTE]
