I don't notice the railroading that often, other than in RBION. I get a perverse joy out of the few patterns I discovered, even while knowing they are completely manufactured. I concur that TPA actually can make you worse at real pinball, but only in a certain sense. I have a strategy with Monster Bash in TPA, I know what to expect with a handful of shots and situations. In my league, there are at least 4 different MB machines I've played, and not a single one reacts the same to each other, let alone TPA. I have yet to post a decent score on one of these, and I firmly blame TPA because my muscle memory for the game completely screws me up for the real thing. Conversely, tables like TZ, which I play enough in TPA to know the rules but not enough to have learned a method, my scores on the real thing have greatly improved. What I'm saying is, there seems to be a tipping point for me between learning and executing game rules equaling better scores on real machines and knowing the exploitable intricacies and nuances of a TPA table that screw up your reactions and timing.Last thing. Because FarSight isn't paying enough in licensing to WMS, Gottlieb, and Stern, plus the licensing of certain IPs, now we expect them to license game engines?</blockquote>
