[QUOTE="steven120566, post: 239851, member: 5261"] The above post I quoted by DA5ID kind of makes a point to me that resonates. As fascinating as this thread is... and boy is it interesting, I prefer to believe that they have perfected ball physics to an imperceptable variation from reality. In my case that works because I haven't played a real table in two decades. To me and probably most TPA players, this is what "pinball" is today. And as much as I try to project the game to reality, it seems easy to do for me. And, if I think about it being FAR from real as oppopsed to close, well then the fun of the game diminishes. The Pinaball Arcade universe is the games...digitized as close to the real thing as can be, the ambiance and the leaderboard communities :) And plus...these tables never physically break down, although it does go through console controllers pretty fast. :cool: The beauty of this game is that all things are equal to all players. Everyone on a level playing field making the leaderboards a very valid indicator of pinball aptitude. I wonder sometimes, can I equate the best of the best players of TPA to casino card counters, are they able (consciously or subconsciously) to predict exactly how the ball is going to behave every time? Or is it really table rules knowledge combined with impeccable hand-eye coordination.... [/QUOTE]
